Random

Ahh...today is a little 'catch-up' day - just sharing random different things over the past few months.  I don't necessarily enjoy sharing this way, as I am an organizer and like for each thing to be in it's own place tied with it's own bow and easy to find later, if needed.  HOWEVER. ;0  Time's too sweet to spend a month (at the least) 'catching up' to only be behind again!  So here's a (long) posting of pics and fun!

Just because she's ADORABLE ;0 (and lets face it, we're all about posting her cute pics!)

...here are a couple of group cousin and cousin-cousin shots that we took back at the end of May at 

Tio Carlos' 80th birthday!

it was so nice to see Aguirre family...lots of great memories going on vaca to huntington beach or el centro with my parents to spend time with them...and now that we're all grown up, times together are (very) few and far between...

had to share this pic just because it's not often Tia "duck (as em sometimes call her;0)" has her hairs all down and out of her jammies;0

Our little compassionate girl.  

As many of you know, Tyler's just endured a very tiring and long trek of working incredibly hard and long hours/days (long enough to have earned nearly 3 additional weeks of vacation!)....this day he was just tired and having a head ache and Ms Em went to comfort him and rub his head...

The fair

always fun to go see the animals!  Especially when it's 'free before 3':0

one of our first Boyd family outings with the newly arrived Matt, Charrie & Caden!

Emma was not having taking one of these pics...until she saw popi do it too!

little girl is becoming such a big girl!  She's being more and more independent (awesome, yes;0)...just much sooner than we realized she would!  Here she is finally up on a step stool taking control of brushing her teeth

on our way home from san diego (in May) we stopped at downtown disney for a walk and dinner...why not, it was just off of the freeway anyhow!  i rarely get pics WITH em let alone one of her hugging me!

one thing that emma LOVES is going to grandma and grandpas for 1. peaches and 2. to see the cows!

she loves running all about their backyard!

and that day she was particularly interested in grandma being with her;0

...family...love these girls - and i think in the past FIVE years, this is the first pic we've taken!

we were together for Dani's baby shower - so we thought we'd get a full cousin pic including her in it;0

here's Em visiting grandpa (Luis)

While Emma and I don't go visit often, she apparently knows the drill from when she goes with Tere

getting him fresh flowers, and fixing up/wiping down his marker

...can't wait for her to meet him some day!

And there you have it...a few of the random times in our lives over the past 3 months!

Wednesday

I know this is supposed to be wordless, but this moment just took my breath away.  Tyler putting a ring on Emma.  He had no idea I'd hoped for him to give her a precious, symbolic ring as she becomes a young lady.  Something that would stay on her ring finger until a special, godly man replaces it with a wedding band.  I love my hubby and my baby girl!

**totally fake ring, was decoration at a wedding ;0  the sentiment was all mine, made up by what I saw!**

Pumpkin Patch

As I was uploading this year's pics for pumpkin patch/halloween, I remembered last year's little photo shoot and was just in awe over all that these little ones have learned and how much they've grown!  It really does go by so incredibly quickly!

This year we weren't able to have a little shoot with all three kiddies ;0  BUT Emma did have herself a lil' shoot at the pumpkin patch this year, and Isaiah got a few pics of his own as well!

Here's a whole slew of photos!
First - as soon as we got there, Tia Diana gave everyone a treat...and by seeing all these photos, Tyler and I were thinking this wasn't Emma's first smoothie trip! ;0

It's getting hard to make the kids smile - at the same time - and look up!!

after everyone left, we had a little photoshoot on the grounds, with our regular little star - Ms Emma Lucia;0

...the BEST part of our day?!  It was daddy's day off - so he got to spend it with us!!

happy little family ;0
