the football game

Baylor vs. Kansas State
A huge storm hit the field during the first quarter. We all got SOAKED!

Emery Kate was a TROOPER. She got so wet but stuck the game out with me. We had fun and wished that Blake was there b/c Baylor did awesome and become bowl eligible for the first time since 1994! Go bears!!!
Mary Beth took this beautiful pic after the rain.

homecoming

We started the weekend going to the zoo with Mimi and Coach! It was great! EK loved the otter slide!

Baylor Homecoming parade



Sweet Mary Beth made Emery Kate a Baylor clip...and she made one that I got to wear too! Aren't they cute! Visit her website at www.marybsudan.etsy.com.
Emery Kate's Bebe gave her this cheerleading outfit! It was so cute on her! She could be a future Baylor bear :)

Blake had to miss it this year due to a work trip! The Ogden's were out of town too...we missed them all!

Homecoming is only homecoming if the Forrester's are there with us! I love their family so much, they are perhaps the most fun family to be around in my opinion! We are blessed to have them as friends!
I love my mom and dad. Thanks for starting the Baylor tradition and for supporting all of us through it. Even though I am half auburn tiger half baylor bear when I go to Homecoming and with a family of baylor bear's my true colors come out (green and gold :) ). Rachel and Sarah...don't hate me for saying that :)

i love fall

I love the fall. This is my favorite time of year for many reasons. I LOVE the cooler weather. I love pumpkin desserts. I love the colors and the leaves changing. I love getting excited if Baylor wins a football game. I love thanksgiving, my bday and blake's bday all in november. I love this time of year b/c it fills my heart with gratitude. Our lifegroup has been starting each meeting by saying something we are thankful for and I have loved that. I have so much to be thankful for.
I also LOVE all the cute fall clothes I can put EK in!


She's going to be such a good big sister!

I LOVE this girl! "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night." Ps 92:1-2

in daddy's boots

Emery Kate is really into shoes. She even learned how to put on her crocs today by herself. She always wants us to have shoes on and she loves trying on her mommy and daddy's shoes. It was so cute seeing her in Blake's boots this morning.
Notice her bedhead.
Blake put the pool out for EK this week. She has this new thing where we tell her to make her excited face and she does this super cheesy grin. It is awesome! We tried to capture it in this photo.

We went to Wimberly, TX last weekend with Blake's family. These last few pics are from dinner in Gruene at the Gristmill. It is such a fun place to go!

Ribbies Clippies!

Emery Kate had her first modeling experience a few weeks ago. Blake's aunt, Kim, who started the company ribbies clippies had Emery Kate model some of her new headbands to put on the website. They aren't on the website yet but she sent me some of the pics from that day and they are so cute I had to post them!
It was really hot so her cheeks are nice and rosy!
My sweet, beautiful girl
Aren't those headbands so cute! When they become available I will put a post!

San Diego!

Blake and I had a wonderful trip to San Diego this past weekend. It was our first trip without Emery Kate which was very hard for us but very good for us! She had a great time with all her grandparents and we are so thankful for them! Above is a view of Downtown San Diego from a ferry boat. Below is dinner at Hodad's- a yummy burger joint. We ATE a ton this weekend. Good thing I'm pregnant :)

Look at my huge belly at coronado Island
Cute pic of Blaker!
La Jolla, our favorite place in San Diego
Sporting our new shades! We went to the tide pools at La Jolla...we didn't see much but did find a few hermit crab and sea anenome (sp?)
San Diego Zoo:
We enjoyed the zoo a lot! The picture below shows a cheetah and a white golden retriever being walked from one area to another on a leash. Apparently the dog and cheetah are good friends!
I loved seeing the koala bears. They were adorable. Here is one peeking through the tree.
Me with the giraffes.
They had a show with the Sea Lions. It was pretty cute. The sea lion is in the process of blowing the audience a kiss.
The San Diego zoo has panda bears! Fun! They are really neat to see. It was also fun b/c we ran into a friend at the zoo and saw this exhibit together. Pretty random!
The US Grant Hotel
We loved this hotel. It was probably one of the nicest I have stayed in. Blake had mentioned it was our 5 year anniversary when he booked it and so they upgraded our room and brought us up these chocolate covered strawberries when we arrived with this letter. Pretty nice!
Some views of the lobby.




We got EK a little pink guitar at Old Towne area in San Diego. She is already enjoying it! We miss San Diego already but are glad to be back with our precious girl! Can't believe she's going to have a baby sister. We were working on trying to figure out her name all weekend but haven't quite decided yet! We'll keep you posted!
