Catching up

Not a ton of catching up to do, but here are some pictures from the last week that I just hadn't gotten around to posting.Last week, Emily ate a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich for the first time! She likes it, but it was really messy!
One day Maya came over to play and I got a really good picture of the BFFs :)
And yesterday, Antonio went and got a new tattoo. That would make it a grand total of 6 tattoos, whats one more right?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We didn't do anything particularly "Irish" today. We both wore our green shirts, and Emily proceeded to get yogurt all over it before I could even take a picture! Oh well! Here are pictures from exactly one year ago today. I can't believe how big she's gotten!

Lack of posts

Sorry there has been a definite lack of posts in the last couple of days. It has pretty much been raining for about a week now, so we've been laying low and just hanging out around the house. It pretty miserable outside, and I've been totally unmotivated. Tomorrow we're supposed to have sun in the afternoon, I'm really counting on it because I have been putting off much needed errands for as long as possible!

Playing on the beach

Here are some more pictures from yesterday. Mandi took them with her camera (which take such better pictures than mine because she has one of those fancy shmancy ones). Basically there are just pictures of me and Emily messing around.


She thought it was the funniest thing that I was going to "drop" her in the ocean.
And this is just another cool one of the ships. If you click on it you can see all the different colors in the water and everything! Her camera is so cool!

Morehead City

Today Mandi, Maya, Emily and I went to Morehead City to see if we could see the ships leaving for another work up (Antonio is with them again). We also had alternative motives... Panera is in Morehead City, so of course after our stop at the beach we went and got some yummy lunch!Emily sitting down before we went on the beach. It was such a nice day, but there was a pretty strong breeze by the water!
We wrote in the sand, but I doubt Daddy saw it from all the way out at sea.
Mandi was the first to head to the water. Nuts.
Here are my feet in the water. It actually wasn't that bad! It felt pretty nice, but I wouldn't exactly go swimming just yet.
The water tower. Nothing too exciting.
Here is one of the ships on the MEU (if you click on the pictures it makes them bigger and easier to see). There are three ships, the USS Fort McHenry, the USS Bataan, and the USS Ponce. Antonio is on the Fort McHenry. I think this might be the USS Bataan, but I'm not sure.
The Fort McHenry? Could be! The third ship (the Ponce? Possibly) was still in the port. We saw it when were driving over the bridge, but I couldn't really get a picture when I was driving.
Maya in Emily's old sling. She LOVES it!
A great picture of Mandi and Maya.
Me and Emily on the beach! You can see the ships in the back. Emily was such a good kid today, and we had a great time!

Laundry Monster

So last night I had all my clean laundry in a basket in the living room ready to fold. Well when I wasn't looking, Miss Emily came up and tipped the basket, so all the laundry fell on her head and all over the floor. Needless to say, this was the coolest thing ever and she had a blast playing in my nice, clean, previously unwrinkled laundry.

Dinner and Ice Cream!

Yesterday we went out to eat for dinner.Antonio just couldn't help himself from playing with the kids menu.
Emily was pretty thrilled with her roll.
This kept her busy for a long while.
Tonight after dinner we went out to get some ice cream! It was a great day for ice cream. It hit 85 degrees today!
Naturally, the ice cream got all over her face. She LOVED it and was so upset when it was all gone!
