I tried for almost two weeks to get this on video. Here is what Emma has learned to do. Also a quick update, I took Emma to the doctor last week and she now weighs 12 lbs and 4 ounces and is 23 inches long. The doctor was impressed with how strong she is. Everything looks great. We love having Emma in our home!

Summer Fun!
This summer has been a ton of fun for us as a family. This summer has been especially fun for me since I have gotten to stay home all the time and be a mom. Too bad its back to the real world with work and school. :( We were able to take two little vacations, the first to Lava Hot Springs and the second to Lake Powell. Emma is such a little trooper and has done so great as we drag her everywhere we go.
So at Lava Hot Springs we went to a huge swimming pool park that had slides and high jumps, including these platforms as they called it. We had to sign a "platform waiver" so in case we killed ourselves they wouldn't be held responsible. I signed it without really knowing what I was getting myself into. It was a 32 feet drop, the height that Olympic swimmers dive from. It took alot of convincing but me and Chance jummped together. It hurt pretty bad and I'm not even sure I'm glad I did it but I was proud of my courage. ;) I'm pretty sure my tailbone was bruised after giving birth to Emma and jumping only reinjured me, but its all good.
I'm still contimplating whether I want to jump in this picture...

Here we go!
At least my form was a little better than Chance's :)
We got Emma in the pool for the first time. She liked it cuz the water was pretty warm, it was a different story for the Lake Powell water. :)
That night all of the adults minus Jessica who was willing to watch all of the kids went to the Hot Springs. It was so nice. The best part about these hot tubs is that you didn't smell like sulfer afterwards. It was so nice to sit and relax with everyone. I love hot water!
The next day we went and tubed down the river. The river is one of the main attractions and all troughout the town they have tube rental stands. Lava is definately an interesting city with not much rules. No one cared how many people you piled in the back of your truck or what you did on the streets. Here we are on the river!
The river was surprisingly full of a ton of rapids and was so much fun!
I didn't take a ton of pics in Lake Powell but here is what I have. We played a game where you had to get a cookie from your forehead to your mouth, only using only using your facial muscles. I stunk at it but Chance did pretty good.
Summer let us borrow a swimsuit for Emma so we got her all dressed up and took her out to the water. The water was a little chilly and Emma would have nothing to do with it. Poor girl thinks we are torturing her. This was the before picture.
Summer got us all cute headbands and even a baby headband for Emma.
Here is our little family on a boat ride. We are so glad we went to Lake Powell, it was a ton of fun!
