Uncle Matt, Aunt Jodi, Charlie and Ads came to visit!

My family came to visit for 10 days this July! We had so much fun! Uncle Matt and Aunt Jodi SPOIL me rotten! I have even gotten to the point that I call all fancy jewelry "JO JOS" because Aunt Jodi let me wear all her bracelets, rings and necklaces while she as here! We did so many fun things! We saw a lot of family, went to Nana and Pop Pop's house, went to the zoo, and went swimming! Charlie is so sweet and plays so well with me! Ads and I just smile at each other!
At Nana and Pop Pop's house...they loved having us all there!

Hanging with Ads

Cuddling with the boys!

We went to the zoo in Fort Wayne and Pop Pop shared his ice cream with me!

Wild little animals

I had my first popsicle while the boys were here...thanks Aunt Jo Jo! As you can see I LOVED them!

Studying before my bath.

My whole family!

Uncle Matt is so FUN!

Aunt Jo Jo (as I call her) lets me do what ever I want! Notice I am wearing her jewelry!

Even more Emmersons!

We liked climbing the ladder...just like Pop Pop!

We were reading Ads favorite book...it is funny!

My visit with Kennedy

We went to Lexington to visit Tom, Jenni and Kennedy. She is 5 weeks younger than me. It was so fun to play with all of her toys!

I sat in this chair the whole time we were there and loved this baby so much it came home with us! Thanks Kennedy!

I loved Jackson!

Golfing with Dad

Dad took me to the driving range at the resort. I love it!

Charlottesville, VA

We got to go on a two week vacation this summer. Dad had to go to Charlottesville for work so we went along. We had so much fun! We stayed at a great resort with lots of pools, restaurants, lakes, and trails to walk on. We had so much family time and did so many fun things that we hated to leave! But we were happy to get home to Bella!
Moving in...and we did look like we were moving!

This is where I ate my meals in the room.

My "room" behind the couch.

Nothing like dinner out for two weeks.

We had a great patio where we could play.

So many cool things to see and touch.


I LOVED the water slide! I am so brave!

We went swimming everyday! I was crazy in the pool! I love to go underwater!

There were animals everywhere. These ducks came to see us most nights. Some nights they would come right up to our feet.

We found lots of places to hang out at the resort.




We spent some time exploring UVA's campus. That is where dad's class was so he got to know it well. It was REALLY hot!

4th of July in the Fort

We went to see Nana and Pop Pop for the 4th. We had so much fun that we decided to stay another night. We spent most of the weekend at the Holms swimming because it was so hot!



I loved this cooler...it is just my size!



As always there was so shortage of attention with Nana, Pop Pop, Jerry, Sandy, Chuck and Nikki!

Nana has LOTS of flowers and rocks. It doesn't get much better than that!

I finally like playing in the grass!

STILL crazy over Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you see?

Nosey?! There was a party going on next door so Pop Pop let me peek in!

I wanted to go off the diving board so bad!

When no one would get in the pool with me I would settle for this!

Playing with Pop Pop




LOTS of swimming!

I LOVE the water! I like to jump off the side to Dad

Floating on my boat.
