I have decided that it is about time I do an update. I have been enjoying everyone else's blog updates and not doing mine ;) The past couple of months have been great! We were able to have Andrew's sister Kelsey come and stay with us for a couple of weeks and loved having her! Lucky Emma got to play lots with aunt Kels! We headed to an Astros game, the beach, shopping, and just hanging out. Thank you Kels for coming it was so much fun having you!
Emma's classic "O" mouth ;)
The Beach! We sure do love it here and have spent much time playing on the sandy shores;) Yes Emma STILL loves to taste things...I should really be worried shouldn't I??? Oh well...just building up more antibodies...
Just relaxing . . .
Sand sand and more sand. . .
This beach is particularly fun because you get to drive right to where you want to go and jump out and you are there... no more packing EVERYTHING through hot sand! I fell in love with it. . . and much easier to leave with less sand! We went on a Saturday and wow it was packed. . as far as we could see down the beach were cars and umbrellas, surprisingly enough though it didn't seem too busy and we enjoyed it just as much! It was fun people watching ;)
Kels and Ems ;)
We dared it and parked by the dead turtle . . . so sad! I didn't want to bring Emma's attention to it, afraid she would try climbing on it..yikes that definitely wouldn't have been good! It brought tons of people to see it! I hope it had a long happy life!
Thank you Kels for all your help and for all the fun we had with you!!
Other random pics of our little lady growing up. . loves to color!
She is in love with these little animals and lines them up everywhere and talks with them;)

Silly girl and her headband!
We love having these two missionaries at our house! This particular day was especially fun cause it was Elder Michaelson's b-day! Elder Michaelson on the left (from Richfield ;)) and Elder Schaat on the right (Idaho boy)
Emma had to be right up there helping him blow out the candles ;)
The surprise. . .
Andrew had my car this day since I was already at work and he had to drop Ems off at our friends house, when he came out this is what he found! My back window smashed in . . . all for a 70 dollar GPS (which by the way I loved!!!!) Good thing I don't keep much in my car, so it could have been much worse but what an inconvenience and not a way I wanted to spend $300! But I am grateful that was all that happened. . we are blessed! We will probably be finding glass forever in my car though. . . it was EVERYWHERE!
We have been enjoying the end of the summer and now Andrew is in school and loves it!!! This makes me so happy, I don't necessarily get everything he talks about but I can tell he loves it and is passionate about it and that is what is great! He is constantly doing homework, but finds time for us as well. It is crazy he is half way through his first semester ;) The weather is cooling off. . . we decided the other day we are becoming true Houstonians when we were saying " Boy it sure is cold out there today" and it was 82!
