For our 4th of July this year, we spent some time up in Logan. It was awesome! It's always great to see family up that way. Emma even had a good time and did rather well. Here is a picture of her with all but 2 of her cousins on Jake's side of the family. Aren't they a good looking bunch?!? We were glad to see them.
Emma met her cousin Peter for the first time. He and his parents live out in Virginia, so we don't get to see them very often. It was fun to see how much he's growing up! Emma seems to enjoy getting a kiss from a cute boy a little too much..
Here's Emma with her Grandma. They make a lovely pair!
Then we went on a hike up Bells Canyon on Monday. Emma did well. Even when she couldn't see a thing. She slept all the way down.
It was a great weekend. We had a barbeque, fireworks, hiking, tennis, badminton, sleeping in, cafe rio and lots of family.
Favorite things to do: Kick her legs, get attention, scratch things, make noise (herself or with anything she can get in those little hands!), touch everything, put everything in her mouth, grab her feet, smile, laugh, play in the water, grab people's mouths and noses, see what's going on and be a part of everything. 
Favorite things to play with: People (she'd rather have someone playing with her than anything else!), grocery bags or other bags that make lots of noise, bouncing in her bouncer or swing, toys that rattle or make noise, her feet, blankets, whatever mom or dad have in their hands. 
She has the prettiest smile and her hair is getting a lot longer. She went to the doctor yesterday and is in the 50th percentile for both height and weight. She's now 24 inches, weighing 13 pounds 5 ounces. Emma spends more time with her dad and grandma now that her mom is working a little. She has done pretty good with this, but is always a little anxious for mom to return so she can eat.
