Auntie Lori and Uncle Evan went to The Farm with us last year to have a photo shoot of Emily. We really had fun there so we decided to go again this year. Emily loved it!! Emily LOVES animals and thinks that they all want lots of kisses. She is not scared of them (even big ones) and loves to play with them. There was a white peacock running around at The Farm and Emily was chasing it all around, I was a little worried that it would peck her if she bugged it too much, but Emily loved chasing it. There were chicks there and she just loved sitting and watching them. When we had her looking over (and through) the fence at the other animals she would roar at them. She would just sit there and roar (I don’t know if she is trying to scare them or get them to come play with her). Auntie Lori got her this really cute tutu outfit that she is wearing. Emily would even try to lift up the pumpkins all on her own. It is so much fun watching Emily grow and sharing these experiences with her. October 29, 2011.

Our Trip to San Diego, CA
Last weekend (October 21 – 24, 2011) we took a short trip to San Diego. Grandma Trevino was there on business and we kept her company (when she wasn’t working of course). So, we played while she worked. We stayed at The Hyatt right at Seaport Village, we were only five blocks from the Gas Lamp District – so we logged many, many walking miles while we were there. The weather was gorgeous and we had a blast. It is really nice to have a vacation where there aren’t really any plans, very relaxing!!
We passed the Convention Center on our our walk, so we posed for a few pictures.
Grandma Trevino, Mommy and Emily enjoying a walk in the Gas Lamp District.
Our little family on one of our walks. It is hard these days to get Emily to look at the camera.
Grandma Trevino and Emily relaxing on the bed with Olivia on the I-Pad.
The view from our hotel window.
Have I ever said before how Olivia on the I-Pad can keep Emily busy for hours????
This picture is a funny one, Grandma Trevino was trying to get the Little Italy sign for us in the background and she kind of missed Emily in the picture – she is there. You can see her ponytails…..
Emily enjoying her ride. We found the really neat Farmer’s Market in Little Italy, it was a lot of fun!!
Cool Emily.
Grandma Trevino and Emily enjoying their walk.
Daddy and Emily at Seaport Village. Just to the left of this picture was a guy that had a bunch of rocks all piled high all balanced on each other – it was really neat to see!
At Macy’s there was desk to write a letter to Santa and mail it to him. Emily had tons of fun writing her letter.
She wrote two letters, one we dropped in the mail to Santa and the other Mommy brought home for Emily’s journal.
Emily loves to lay on her belly while she is playing. Here her and Daddy were coloring in the hotel room (well, I think Daddy was more watching Emily color)!

Emily is the Dancing Queen!! Marisa and Steffan’s Wedding–October 7, 2011.
This last Friday Marisa and Steffan had their wedding at the Resort at Mount Charleston. A week ago we were still have 100 degree days here in Vegas, well the week of the wedding we had a cold front come through and cool us off a ton. So, there was snow at The Resort on Friday (just a little, but there was snow). It was cold, but oh so beautiful!! The snow in the background of the pictures really added to the day!! It was a ton of fun and Emily especially enjoyed herself!!
Here is a montage of pictures. Emily getting her hair done (she even got glitter in her hair). Auntie Lori and Grandma Trevino playing with her before it was time for pictures. The bride enjoying her last moments of freedom! The bride getting kisses from Emily. The ceremony – yes we were freezing (I know you can tell by the looks on our faces). Grandpa Trevino walking Auntie Marisa down the isle and the happy couple. Grandma and Grandpa Blackburn were there to join in the fun, aren’t they so cute in this picture?
The first dance!
Father daughter dance – it started out serious…….
and then went crazy!! It was so fun to see Dad and daughter having so much fun. It then turned into a conga line!!
I told you watching Olivia on the I-PAD could keep Emily busy for hours……
Mother and Son dance, having so much fun together!
Let the dancing begin!
Emily started out in the brides arms!
Then moved to Daddy’s – he loved every second of getting to dance with his little princess!
Then Daddy was showing her how to do it herself.
She was getting pretty comfortable with that!
Then she was on her own.
She would dance for a bit and run over to Grandpa Blackburn’s chair and give him and hug and come back out and dance some more!
And then she danced…….
and danced………..
and danced…………….
and danced some more – her arms were even getting into it!! She screamed when we took her off the dance floor for Grandma and Grandpa Blackburn to take her home for us and put her to bed (which wasn’t until 10 p.m.). She still wanted to be dancing!!
Here I am forcing Christian to dance with me, he didn’t want to at first – but he was a good sport and danced with me anyway!
Lori and Enrique were doing The Robot!!
Here are the Trevino children all dancing together!
Here I am with my husband – isn’t he cute?!?!?!
And here Evan showing off his moves. We had a blast, great memories were built and in the process we found out that Emily is shy (yeah right)!!!!!! Congratulations Steffan and Marisa, may you have a lifetime of love and happiness!! We love you!!
