4th of July & {More}…

I love the 4th of July.

I love just about any holiday.

but,

I love them even more with

lil’ miss Emmery!

Emmery now has celebrated

two {2} holidays!

Her first:

Father’s day.

she was 15 days old.

It was extremely special.

BD’s first Father’s day.

{one of the first times we ventured out}

what do you do to celebrate a 1st Father’s Day?

Bass pro shop {of course}!

then fast forward a couple weeks

4th of July

I had a blast getting

lil’ miss Emmery

dressed up & taking pictures.

while the 4th of July was very different than

last years.

{Santa Monica Beach, July 4th, 2013}

this year

{the whole year actually}

will be a year of ‘first’ for

lil’ miss Emmery

&

fun for mommy.

Our little

firecracker

another big moment in

lil’ miss Emmery Lo’s life

going out to dinner.

We ventured out to

Tustin Brewing Company.

also known as ‘tbc’

I would say it was a successful trip

coming up this week in

Emmery Lo’s life

{besides, eating, sleeping, & pooping}

meeting

grandma & grandpa mertens

and

{great} uncle fred

along with a very special day

Emmery Lo is getting baptized.

we.are.blessed.
