Lemos Farm in Half Moon Bay

Our second visit ... this time with Matthew & Samantha





Little Pumpkin Emily walking into Lemos Farm with her unruly hair. She is adamant about not wearing a barret!

Em looking cute 'n innocent as she tries to remove the small pumpkins from the old wheel decoration. She doesn't think anyone is noticing. She's already removed 3.

The Little Pink Girl's Club REUNITE!


Miss Julia May ...


Julia is the eldest member of The Little Pink Girl's Club dressed in a seasonal sleeveless red & pink strawberry top complete with ruffles on the shoulders




Miss Emily Luisa ...



The middle woman of The Little Pink Girl's Club dressed in a pale pink corduroy jumper with a simple short sleeve white tee (must have) underneath



Last, but definitely not least is Miss Claudia Lucille, the youngest member of The Little Pink Girl's Club dressed in a soft long sleeve white tee with a silver winged something on the front and tight hot pink spandex pants! Not just anyone can get away with this, but Claudia pulls it off quite nicely.




Emily & Julia anxiously awaiting for the 3rd member of the club to wake from her nap. Hello?!?! We're HERE!!!




FINALLY! Reunited ... and it feels so good!!!


Em is checking out Claudia's new sprouts! It's coming in and it's BLONDE!! YOU GO GIRL!


OH! Claudia's BIG sister Izzy joins the group this morning


Welcome Isabel



Emily meets Isabel's Giant Panda Bear named "Blanket"




She's introducing herself to "Blanket". Not sure what the name is all about? I forgot to ask Izzy, but maybe she uses him as a blanket?!?! I dunno! Now, I am curious.



Claudia's mama holding sweet Em. Em loves to find a friendly, empty lap and plop right down on it.

Emily @ Lollipop Cut for Kids

Emily came to Lollipop with us to get Max's hair cut
Of course, where else would she be?!?! :-)

Little did she know that she was going to get an Updo. She was pretty excited about it!



Not only an Updo with a pretty hot pink barret, but she also got sparkles in her hair! BONUS!




Her hair dresser, Natalie, was trying to get Em's hairs just right. Emily must've pulled the barret out at least 1/2 dozen times during the process.


Can you see the sparkles? Look hard! They sprayed it on like hair spray. This must be something new.



Natalie (hairdresser) and Emily totally hit it off!



They cuddled and played while Big Brother was getting his hair cut



Natalie & Emily

Stay Tuned! Emily will be getting her first trim by Natalie at some point this year.

Matthew & Samantha's 6th Birthday Party


Emily had fun at "Pump It Up" even though she couldn't go down the slides.
She was chasing after balls, playing on the mats & running all around.



Wallace & Emily relaxing together. Wallace just returned from a 10 day whirlwind European tour ... he had just gotten off the plane an hour before the party, but clearly missed the kids and wanted to hang out with them




Jodie & Emily

Emily enjoyed eating broccoli on Daddy's head! :-)



Broccoli was better than the watermelon alternative

Emily & Julia are into wearing PINKS or are their mamas pushing a pink wardrobe?!



Emily's 1st time on a teeter totter. That wasn't very smart of me to leave her sitting there solo and take a picture?!?!

Pretty in Pink
Can't say I was ever fond of the color, pink. Never wore it myself & never cared to; however, I have taken a liking to it on my sweet little daughter. I think it's a good color on her. Here she is at the park this morning looking pensive.


Somehow Sandy got roped into pushing Emily in her pink car round 'n round 'n round the table on our back deck. She didn't seem to mind a bit.



Sweet Sandy & Emily



Emily coming down the slide head first. She is becoming more and more like her daredevil brother every day.

Emily LOVES her shoes!


Sweet Em playing at the park this afternoon




She LOVES to get her shoes on and go outside! She brings me her shoes and socks, sits in my lap and expects me to put them on immediately. If I hesitate, for even a moment, then she gets annoyed and starts this squealing sound.


Looking for Big Brother Max!

Emily Walking

New Pink Footwear


Emily playing in the sand @ the park this afternoon

She is wearing her new pair of pink Stride Rite shoes (size 4 1/2). We bought her a pair of white sandals (size 3 1/2) in mid-June in preparation for her first steps; however, it wasn't until August 20th (2 months later) that she really started walking. 2 months later and one shoe size larger!


She was intent on getting in the water sprinkler


She was practically running to get in the water feature here! She's laughing 'cause she knows I don't want her to get wet!

Emily is reading "Wheels on the Bus". Max doesn't let her read at home. He says all the books are "HIS" so she is taking advantage of some time without her brother around
