Always on the run...I am having so much fun!

Hi Everyone;

Well my life has been so exciting, I am getting to visit with lots of family and friends. Just last weekend we were able to make the trip up to Sudbury to visit with the Cullen side of my family. I got to see Great-Granny and she looks really good! I also got to play with Karsen and Konner, they are so much fun. Konner is so cute and tiny, I feel like a giant next to him and I am only 5 months older than him....lol! See the cute picture of him below.


This is Karsen, he is a big boy, he can swing on a big kid swing and ride a bike with no training wheels and he is only 3, isn't that amazing! I have a lot to learn from him.

One night Konner and I got to play outside in our PJ's it was awesome! They have tons of really neat toys and the weather was super nice.





Karsen and I both seem to enjoy the same TV shows, so we got to spend some quality time comparing notes...
Konner seemed to take a liking to me and tried a few times to give me a kiss, so finally I gave in!


Now that I can run, Karsen and I had lots of fun chasing eachother through the house!



On the May long weekend, Mommy and Daddy decided it would be fun if we met half way in between Canada and Tennessee and went camping. So Daddy drove 6.5 hrs with our two dogs and Mommy drove 7 hrs with me, yes, I know my parents are a little crazy sometimes but gotta love the fact that they mean well! So we went camping in West Virginia and we had what was called a Rustic Cabin (essentially a shed with no heat), check out the pics below....needless to say we only lasted 2 nights and ended up in a hotel after that. Well I only made it through 1.5 nights and had enough by 4 am on Saturday!



My Doggies were so much fun to play with and Dexter seemed to like to use my car seat as a head rest, what a silly dog!




It got really cold on Saturday night and Sunday, we were all bundled but it was still freezing!






Both Dexter and Ryder seemed very interested in whatever I was playing with!



The weather is finely starting to be nice here and Gigi and I have been spending tons of time outside. Every morning we water her flowers on the terrace and I am a big helper, or so she tells me! Guess what I now have, a water table with Dora and Diego toys and umbrella. I love water and I can spend hours playing outside with my new table, thanks to Mommy and Daddy for getting me such an fun toy!

Just this past week, it was my Gigi's birthday, she tells me she is only 39 but even though I can't do math yet, it just doesn't seem right, because I am pretty sure my Mommy is only 29 and now how could that be...! We got Gigi these really pretty flowers that you see below, I love smelling and touching the flowers.




Mommy is trying to teach me how to say "Cheese" when she takes pics of me, but I just don't seem to have the smile down right, not yet anyways!


Well, actually this "Cheese" pic isn't too bad at all. What do you think of my Dora chair, isn't it nice.


Well, that is all for now, I am beat and need to go to bed! Mommy leaves for Vancouver tomorrow and I need to get to bed so I can get up early to spend some time with her.
Love you all,

Emmie

Congrats to Tata Kristina & Happy Mother's Day!

Last weekend my Daddy's sister Kristina got married! It was a really nice day and a wonderful wedding. They asked me to be the flower girl and I according to everyone I did a very good job, and I made everyone laugh! Mommy and Daddy can't wait to see the pictures that the photographer got.... It was great to see my Daddy too, it had been 3 whole weeks, much too long!









What do you think of my dress, wasn't it pretty! I love it!!! Thanks to Gigi for buying it for me...


For the dinner I had a wardrobe change, into something a little more comfy that would allow me to be able to run all over Uncle Chris's parents house! They hosted a really nice dinner at their house, it was lots of fun.


My favorite part of the night was when I got to help Tata and Uncle Chris open their presents!

Well on second thought, maybe my favorite was when I got to eat chocolate for dessert, it was really yummy!

The next morning I had lots of fun playing in our hotel room, in the bath and then watching my favorite cartoons...




Now isn't Mother's Day an amazing time to celebrate all the wonderful mom's that everyone has. We had a really nice day! First we had a telephone call with Daddy over the internet and he made mommy the nicest slideshow with pics of me since I was in her tummy, I think she almost cried! Then he took some really nice pics of Mommy's garden at home, her flowers look great.
Mommy opened her gift from me and I think she really liked it. I got her another new charm for her braclet and a new pair of pyjama's, thanks to Gigi for helping me pick them out!
Then we went for brunch with Gigi and Uncle Ryan and I got to get all dressed up again, I loved it! Plus we ate tons of really good food!







After brunch we drove upto Victoria Harbour to visit my Grandmere and Great Grandpa Ben. It was so nice to see them and see that Grandmere is doing much better since her back surgery, she is walking really well! I told her that I could have used her walker this past week when I sprained my ankle, that is right, I sprained my ankle on Tuesday night. 15 months old and I was hobbling everywhere, people kept laughing whenever Mommy and Gigi took me places!!! Don't worry though, I am all better now.
I found one of Great Grandpa Ben's hats laying around and decided to wear it around the house, what do you think, doesn't it suit me!!!


Well, I am exhausted, it was a busy weekend and I have to get some shut eye!
Love you all,

Emmie
