mini stories

Time for our annual post! (just kidding!) blogging takes time- and I'd prefer to have nice pictures and a story line. But this year, I'll just try to get the funny stories out there first and maybe a cute picture that has nothing to do with the story. My goal is just to put out the funny stories!

Emma & brandon have been so much fun (when healthy!). This last January was a tough month with our little family being sick and anh an having his nose infection, etc. Both babies are adorable and funny!

Emma's mini-story:
In the van, on the way home from school.
Emma: "mommy, you are good."
Mommy: "thank you, emma"
Emma: " emma, emma is good. Daddy, hmm, daddy is good too!"
Mommy: "that's good, emma. What about brandon?"
Emma: "brandon, brandon... HE BAD!!!!
Mommy: "what! Why is brandon bad?"
Emma: "brandon.. HE GOT PROBLEMS!"

a post to say we miss you Lisa and Van! (miss the horsey rides!)

Unco Van was such a good sport! but the longer the riders stayed on, the more disturbed the horsey got!

On a side note: isn't lisa pretty?? :)

Let's get started!! (Horsey Van doing fine!)

An exuberant rider! Horsey Van is starting to realize he may not be cut out for this.

Adding on another rider or two..Horsey is still doing ok.

A happy Brandon joins in!

Emma to Brandon: do you think our horsey is going crazy?

I think the Horsey is about to keel over!

We miss you Unco & Di Ba!

1st Easter basket!

My parents were wonderful with fun traditions. One of them was the Easter basket! On Easter morning, Lisa and I would wake up to find Easter baskets filled with goodies outside our bedroom door.

This morning, Brandon woke me up at 5:45 am, so the basket had plenty of time to sit outside the door, waiting.

I wanted to post a video, but it's too big. You can see the video on Emma's eachday website, though. I'll try and edit the video to make it smaller.

Here's Emma enjoying her 1st Easter basket!

What was in the basket:

* Tinkerbell stickers (Tink is her favorite. Emma calls her ching-ga-beo.) I like tinkerbell because she's a young Disney character, and although she has a friend named Terrance, there isn't any of that mushy kissy stuff going on.

* Two easter eggs: one filled with sour candy, the other filled with hershey's kisses

* Belle (Disney Princess, Emma call all the disney princesses (Ariel, Belle, Jasmin, Snow White...) as pwincess). Emma hasn't seen Beauty and the Beast, but I like Belle because she studies, reads books and only wanted to have a life with MORE studying and MORE books, and just happened to end up with a prince.

I made the flowers for decoration, tying them to her basket. They are actually hair clips and a ring.

Emma enjoying a hershey's kiss:

Gotta love the hair!! Here's Emma's hair for Easter Sunday (love what a little bit of hair products, a straightener that curls and a patient baby girl can do):

Here's Emma with Grandma:

pouffy bangs and pink elephants!

I had blow dried emma's bangs, and she liked them super pouffy. She also likes this pink elephant toy, which she tries to keep away from Brandon. Brandon did manage to play with it a little bit!

another silly video

it's another funny one. It makes me smile big time! I love my silly emma and laughing Brandon!

Emma clowns around. Brandon laughs!

I think the title says it all..except for that Emma seems uber hyper...
