Remember that time we whisked our little family to Fernie for a quick weekend get away? Of course you don’t, because i forgot to blog about it! Shame on me.

Right before Halloween we went to Papa Bissett’s cabin with the `Chris-its` (The Chris and Becky Bissett Family)  Oh how ``dark and mysterious Emery`` loves ``fair and beautiful Hallie”.  They had so much fun together.  Multiple hot tub dips, dust catching, and prettifying. Life of some true ladies. 

Fernie holds many memories for our little family, beginning when Levi and I had only been dating for a few months.  I don’t know if it was my parents trying to scare him away, but they invited him for a week skiing trip.  From then on we have trotted on over for new years parties, Christmas, or any free weekend we can muster.  We are so lucky ducky to live so close to beautiful mountains. 

Halloweenier

Halloween, what a freak show.  We usually are not the biggest fans. But this year something changed. Maybe it was watching Emery “treat or treat” at the same houses i went to growing up. Or maybe it was the abundance of oh henerys. Meh, either way we made some great memories. 

At the first house Emery surprised us all but squealing “treat or treat!” and marching right in. From then on she would yell thank you! and wave her mitten hands, sweetly singing “byyye!”  Ah! Heart melting.  Love that she is finally old enough to enjoy these things.  And love that I get to eat all her candy after she goes to bed. 

We began the festivities with a Bissett gang visit and picture.  Not to mention a wee lady bug picnic. Why haven't i seen this video earlier!  And why does everyone know the words except me! Say wha?

Lady bug picnic

                    What fun cousins with some amazing costumes. Milo stayed behind at my parents and helped hand out candy.  What a dear, pun intended. 

Cousins Taylee and Brigham joined our gang for the treat collecting. Cutest devil and astronaut ever. We love having cousins live close by and can’t wait for more to join our adventures.  (Poytress’, that means you!) 

Ok so freaky story coming up peeps.  My niece Mckaya and her friend put a carved pumpkin on their heads, Looking like scare crows. They would move when you reached for candy, or turn their head slowly and watch you walk away. Scariest thing ever. Hated it.  Not cute. Never again.

After all the spooks, picnics, and runny noses we leave this outrageous holiday behind. Christmas, here we come!

 

Our 2 Chickens

Strollers are great. They truly are. Lugging around gummy snakes, marbles, wedding rings, wash cloths, and of course dolls.  Aunt Mardi, best gift ever. Now i know, i know, Milo may be the size of Emery’s dolls, but that is no reason to treat her like one. Emery tears around the house with her live baby in her stroller.  Hilarious? of course, but it scares me giggle-less. True story. And why I take out the camera, before removing Milo, ill never know.                                                 

Remember the days Emery used this bumbo? I sure do, it feels like yesterday… oooh snappers, it was yesterday.  She was such a little toot just like Milo.  Big eyed and bobble headed.  Love these girls.  Both growing up so fast.                                    

Tickle bug

“Those who tickle themselves may laugh when they please.”

Levi is Mr. Popular in this crowd of ladies. Slightly jealous? Emery stands at the window waiting for the moment she can run screaming to the top of the stairs and call “daaaaaaadddd?”Milo fusses endlessly while i pace the kitchen, but settles peacefully in Levi’s arms watching “Income Property.”Since when did Mommy’s make second place? Is it the lack of dance moves? Cool T.V shows?Growls? Shoulder rides? One may never know… But one thing is certain. Emery has never laughed so hard as when Levis tickly whiskers taunt her ability to function.  Best dad/husband ever I tell ya.

 

“Have you ever laughed so hard the tears ran down your leg?”  Childhood quote of a lifetime (thanks Dad!)

Darn Straight

Curly curls litter all four of our heads.  We have a love/hate relationship.  As lovely as they can be, both Levi and I prefer the straight do.

Perched on the bathroom counter Emery often “helps” me get ready. It’s time like these I think of some of the most awful ideas. I had thunk up that I would make my day and tame those crazy curls dancing around Em’s face. She couldn’t stop laughing at herself in the mirror. I realized how fast she is going to grow up.  As entertaining as it was, for now, Emery’s curls will continue to rock my days until she is old enough for makeup.  And that in it self is another blog. Darn straight.
