Smiles

Emmie is starting to smile and coo and I thought I was lucky - capturing a genuine smile but turns out it was just gas...

Gratitude


I love Thanksgiving. This picture is of us trying to all fit in the bed to watch the Thanksgiving day parade. It used to be just Ceri, Mom and I but since we've had a few additions over the past two years the bed is now full...no more room! For the past couple of years my family has gone up to Sedona, AZ for the holiday. We always have a blast. This year my Aunt Sandy's family (my dad's sister) came too. I was stupid and didn't get a picture of all of us. There were so many people. It was so great to see all of my cousins and their kids. I'm so grateful to be a part of such a great family!

Eating at the Junepine Cafe...not thanksgiving dinner...a different meal

Getting ready to go...hat and all!

Emmie needed a Thanksgiving nap too!

Matt and Emmie's new trick

I forget how Matt discovered this new trick with Emmie...I think he was trying to blow something off her face. It's pretty funny. (We don't do it a lot....that would be mean...)

Sleeping time...



This little one is a party girl....sleep all day - party all night long.

Tag - I'm It...

So...I was tagged by Heidi a while ago and have been lazy and haven't done it...but now I've been tagged a second time so...here we go...seven random things...

1. There are two things that I secretly eat out of the tub when I have them in the kitchen...Cool Whip and Peanut Butter. Sometimes I combine them and take a spoonful of peanut butter and then top it with a dollop of cool whip...it's delicious.

2. I have a love/hate relationship with running. I hate to actually run but for some reason love getting ready to run and love the feeling I get when I'm done running - so I do it over and over and consider myself pretty good when I stick with it.

3. I listen to the same CD over and over again in the car for months at a time. Currently I'm listening to my Saturday's Warrior CD...it's a classic.

4. I loved growing up with the last name "Corriveau". I was very proud of the fact that it contained every vowel.

5. In addition to my Education degree I am certified in Montessori Education. I've never had to work so hard for anything...including my bachelors at ASU.

6. If someone asked me in high school what I considered one of my talents I would say it would be singing...now however, singing probably wouldn't make the list. I'm really sad about that. I would love to start singing again.

7. I really dislike monopoly... and settlers of catan... I'll play when invited - but never look forward to playing again. I'm not sure if it' s the length of the games or if it's because you have to be constantly thinking about all the different angles and variables...I'd much rather play a more fast passed game like catch phrase or speed....

Emmie In Action!

So I realize that this video is pretty boring - nothing much happens...but it's my little girl and everything she does is adorable...even when she does nothing. (she crosses here eyes at the end...that's pretty exciting!)
