San Antonio

Russ's Nana died early last week.We had to make an emergency trip to San Antonio this past week. We left on June 18th and were back by the 22nd. We stayed with Judy while we were there. It was nice to see her just a month after the last visit. We usually only see her every six months.
Thank God for Facebook otherwise we wouldn't have known she had passed away. It was a really good trip a little bit too short, though. Emma and I got to meet a whole LOT of people we didn't know before. The Granberry side of the family is awesome. I am kicking myself because we had brought the camera, but did we take any pictures of anyone or any thing? Nope, we sure didn't! I promise there will be pictures of other things because we are getting a new digital camera!!!! It should arrive here on Tues!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to start taking more pictures.

"The World Famous Topeka Zoo"

We went to the zoo yesterday and had a lot of fun! Emma really enjoyed all of the animals and liked feeding the goats, ducks, geese, and fish. She only ended up with a little pink on her face (sneaky girl wiped off the sun block). Here are some pictures from our outing.

Night Frights

Last night Emma had two night terrors...the first one was very scary until we figured out what was going on. We thought she was in extreme pain and she was crying so hard she couldn't tell us what was going on. She just got more upset and sobbed harder. When she finally calmed down she asked to watch some tv, so we watched the first 10 minutes of "Chicken Little" and just chilled out on the couch. I googled night terrors and it said to just make sure the child doesn't hurt herself during it, and not to  wake her up because she will just be disoriented and confused which makes it worse. Please pray she doesn't have anymore.

Party!

Emma's 3rd birthday was on Tuesday last week, but with school ending and graduations we waited until this past Sunday to celebrate. Russ, Emma, and I went down to Mom and Dad's on Saturday to get ready for the party and to do some last minute cleaning since we were going to be doing some dirtying. These are some fun pictures from the party.

 

"RockaMole" and the New Door

Emma was helping (hindering) me make dinner the other night and she got to make the guacamole. She turned the handle on the quick chef for like 15 minutes. She is so funny I asked her if she was done with the guacamole and she answered, "Yes, the rockamole is all ready!"

We also got a new back door!!! Our old one just fell apart. Russ came home from his last Saturday class and it just came apart. 

Game Face

Russ has taught Emma to make a game face to psych out other kids she comes across...I don't know why this is an important skill but she looks really cute! The other picture is of her and O. O is the son of my friend K. Her husband installed our new back door for us!! They played really good together until Emma wanted to touch his mommy's pregnant belly, he was then very protective!
