An Empty Box = FUN!

A few weeks ago, Ben and I decided to declutter our condo yet again...this happens a lot! So we brought up an empty box from our garage. SOMEHOW Emma found the box and got in it before we could put anything clutter it. :)

Three tags.... I have to write down 3 of each: joys, fears, goals, current obsession/projects, and random facts.

3 joys: Emma, Ben, the scriptures

3 fears: not taking enough pictures of Emma, getting in another bad car wreck, and not getting the best deal possible on stuff

3 goals: get my first free car from Mary Kay this year, go back to school to get an MBA, be a size 4 forever

3 current obsession/projects: I love The Office, anything Stephenie Meyer, and all my Mary Kay stuff

3 random facts: My sister got me a signed copy of THE HOST. My husband has declared June the Month of Ben because it is his birthday month. Sometimes we just have sandwiches for dinner because I don't want to make anything...like today. :)

I tag... Rosie, Emily, JR

The Key(s) to get Emma crawling...

The key to get Emma crawling is quite literally keys! Ben and I have been trying for weeks to motivate Emma to crawl...we tempted her with snacks and toys, even demonstrated how to crawl, etc. But the only thing that worked were my keys! Here is a short video of Emma's first attempts to crawl.

Memorial Day

We were so excited to let Emma splash around in our friend's pool, but she did not like it! Nope...not at all! She would curl up in a little ball in our arms and would cry when she got splashed. She was so scared...poor thing. We tried putting her in the water a few times, but it didn't help. We hope she will learn to like it...she loves her baths and her dad is practically part fish...so really, she should like the pool (at least, eventually).

Recent Family Photos

Emma was 9 months old when we took these photos. I didn't get to scan a few of them because they were too large 10x13 (which is my favorite one) or were already framed and I was too lazy to take down the frame from the wall and get it out. Sorry. Anyway, I hope ya'll like these McKee family photos. And I must mention that it was fun to get a pic of just me and Ben...that does not happen anymore.

Mommy, I love these sandals...

I caught Emma playing with my shoes! She has already developed a shoe fettish!...thats my girl!

Dinner for Two

Saturday Ben and I divided the evening's duties...I gave Emma a bath and got her to bed and Ben made dinner. And I was pleasantly surprised to see everything set up outside! I just had to take a picture! How sweet is my hubby?!!?! And dinner was scrumptous!...smothered steaks and bell peppers...and oj! :)
