Emerson has been doing FABULOUS at sleeping lately! As I aid before, we started the "sleep training" on Monday night. Both Tuesday & Wednesday nights have been E.A.S.Y! Tuesday I put her down, she cried for maybe 5 minutes and then was out like a light until 5:30am. Only then did she wake up because I woke her. I HAD to feed here before I exploded. Last night, same thing. Aaron put her down. She fussed for a few minutes and then slept for 9 hours before I woke her again at 5:30am. She is the best baby! Love her!

Here is her First Day of School picture:

Sunday we went to the Oil Ranch. This was our first time and we were very impressed with it. Jackson had a blast! Emme, of course was oblivious to most of it, but she just enjoys being outside. There was tons of stuff to do & look at, so much so that we learned this is more of a spend-the-day-there type place instead of a couple of hours like we did. There was a pumpkin patch, hay rides (didn't get to do this), a train, an Indian village with teepees and some sort of swing thing that my kids were too young for, bouncy houses (didn't do this either), petting zoo, pony rides & cow milking. It was super-fun! Jackson was so excited to see the cow until we actually got to it and then I think he was intimidated by it's size and just buried his head in Aaron's shoulder the whole time. He did say "Bye bye cow. Moo. Bye Bye" as we walked away. He cried on the pony ride too. Last year, he loved the pony ride at his school - this year, not so much. All in all, we had a wonderful time with Gabby & Papa!

Well Hello Scarecrow!

Jackson kept throwing the pumpkins down. I was so afraid he was going to smash them.

Aaron caught a piglet - it was pretty tough & I have never heard squeals like that before! Yikes!

And, here's how he was on the pony. ????
