Here are a few pictures of Emma standing on her own and stuffing her mouth! We are definitely enjoying the Colorado weather, two weeks ago it was 60 degrees until 2pm(bottom picture in the long sleeves).
Here are a few late pictures from Diana's Birthday dinner (July 25th) and from when the girls and I went on our Anniversary date. Tyler is (obviously) deployed and David has been TDY so Diana and I were both without our husbands on our anniversaries. Both of our anniversaries were at the end of May so Diana, Kelly and I went to the Melting Pot for dessert and a movie while our parents put the kids to bed:)
Yesterday while Emma and I were playing she crawled behind the coffee table and smiled up at me with such accomplishment. I walked over to see what she was so proud of and she was sitting on this box, it was SO CUTE!!! We then moved out to the carpet and she went from her knees to standing ON HER OWN!!! I only got pictures of her coming down. I am excited for her to start walking so that when we are in public areas I can set her down and not worry about her crawling.
I can't believe Emma is 11 months old!!! Time flies! She is SO close to walking on her own. She is really good at walking with this shopping cart and has taken a few steps without it. You can see her two bottom teeth in some of these pictures.
Tyler has officially received at return date.... October 3rd!!! This does not necessarily mean the exact return date but it will be within a few days of it..... we hope! The end is in sight!!!! 
Had to post these pictures because who does not have pictures of themselves bathing with a cousin or friend of the opposite sex that one day (late elementary) they say "MOM, why did you make me bathe with them?" Now they can ask us.
Tomorrow Emma and I head to Tucson to visit the McAlroys! We are so excited! Just trying to catch up a little before we leave:)
I have always loved to do hair. Growing up I used to bug my younger sister to let me do her hair all the time. I am dying for Emma's hair to grow out so that I can do more with it. One night before bed I decided to try to braid her hair. I had to take pictures because I thought it was so cute/funny - her hair is only long on the sides. You can see that the back is much shorter.
Here are some pictures of the cousins one Sunday after church. Emma and Jack are now going to the nursery (which we should have done LONG ago). Tyler and I had put Emma in the nursery back in MS but I held out here in CO for some reason. I don't think we ever made it through a service without having to walk out:) 
GG got Emma and Ava these matching dresses when she was out visiting. I had to post pictures of the girls with GG because I think it is so special that they had the opportunity to spend a month with her. GG taught Ava so many cute little songs that she learned when she was little!
Here are a few random pictures from the past few weeks. I have been horrible about keeping up with this during the month of July but Kelly just left to move to L.A., Diana leaves this weekend and Doug leaves in two weeks so I have been spending my evenings with them rather then posting. Emma decided to take a late nap so I am attempting to catch up.....a little.
The girls were pretending the laundry basket was a boat.... sometimes a sailboat and other times a speedboat. They loved being pulled! Now I understand why moms say they stay in shape by having kids.
Take off....
