A LOT has happened in the last couple of months and I haven't had anytime to blog about it! We have been on the road for pretty much the last two months. We were in St. George then Washington DC, onto Ireland and then we just got back from Richfield and Friday we leave for Spokane! It has been a really exciting time but also really tiring. DC was a ton of fun! We got to hang out and spend time with my sister Wendy and meet her boyfriend Seth.
*Funny side note. We invited them to eat spaghetti with us (which Em's calls Skebby) and now she calls him skebby Seth. Here is a picture of Wendy and Emma next to the M&M man.




We went to the zoo and the aquarium and learned that Emma LOVES the aquarium more than the zoo. She was going crazy looking at all of the fish. The people around us would turn and look at her because they thought she was crying, when she was actually SUPER excited! Oh and she learned that she loves snakes. I know weird right?! Oh and she thinks that all fish are called Nemo, she hasn't even seen that movie but all the kids were calling some of the fish Nemo and she picked up on it.




Oh and here is the video about the snakes and the crocodiles. (Ems calls them Chomp Chomps)
I just love how she says snakes.







We also ventured to Ben's Chili Bowl where we had some amazing but also a little spicy chili dogs and some chili cheese fries. They even cut up Emmas hot dog into little chunks for her! Super thoughtful huh?!





There was also a playground close to the FDIC that Emma and I could walk to. We spent a lot of our afternoons playing on the toys. Emma thinks that all little kids were put on earth to be her friend. It's really cute but somehow they don't quite understand and usually don't want to play with her. Here are some pictures of her and the toys.








At first Emma didn't want to go down this slide because it was too big, but slowly it became her favorite. She is a little bit too light so her body would flip and then she would fly off at the end but I guess she liked it!

We also ventured to Baltimore to go see an Orioles game. It took us a very long time to find a parking spot and get into the game but we stayed just long enough for Emma to enjoy it and have fun. Thanks Seth for all of the yummy treats! Oh also as we were searching for a parking spot we kept saying the Ball park, so Emma thought that we were going to this big amazing park! I was expecting her to be a little dissapointed when we arrived to the ball game but lo and behold when we walked in there was one of those rainbow brand playgrounds inside. Obviously for advertising purposes but Emma was stoked.





Of course any trip to DC wouldn't be complete without a trip to

for Jeff and multiple trips to



for myself! You gotta LOVE their kids clothes!

Thanks Wendy for hanging out with us and introducing us to Carlisles. Which by the way has the best Spinach and Artichoke dip in the world! We look forward to seeing you again sometime soon!
