Busy Christmas!

So, as you can tell (from the lack of posts) we had a busy Christmas and New Years. Emma Kate and I were in Birmingham for three weeks and Matt came for a little over a week around Christmas and New Years. Once we got back from Birmingham my sister Sarah came out to Yuma for a visit for a week and a half. We had a lot of fun but I didn't realize how the month of January is flying by. Our holidays were great and we were able to spend a lot of time with Mom and Dad McGough before their Russia adventure. We got to see Abbey and Warren for 3 days over the holidays. Abbey is looking so cute pregnant and we can't wait to meet their little baby boy in a few months. Over the holidays Matt's brother and his family have moved to Yuma. We are so excited to have family just a mile down the road. Matt is staying extremely busy with work and I am busy making Emma Kate dresses and assisting a friend in teaching middle school physics. We stay busy! We enjoyed getting to see some of you over the holidays and love hearing all the updates. I will make a point to update the blog more often!

Fun Times

Emma Kate crinkles her nose and smiles when she sees a camera!

These are some good grean beans Gigi!

Christmas at the Farm

Party in Mississippi with Friends from Air Force in Florida

High School Cross Country and Track reunion

(That is our high school coach, Mary Birdwell)

Some of our team members

Emma Kate was a trooper as she opened a multitude of gifts and loves everyone of them (she scatters them across the living room!)

Gigi and Daddy Mac got her a puppet show circus kit

Aunt Abbey and Uncle Warren got her a Radio Flyer wagon to help her learn to walk

(She walked everywhere with it, we are getting it in Yuma this weekend and I know she is going to be so excited to see it!)

We loved getting to see Kyle!

They have burp clothes and so they are officially soon-to-be parents! (haha!)

Emma Kate and Nelson were discussing the trouble with having long hair in your eyes (haha, Nelson got a hair cut not long after this picture was taken...much better!)

We were sad to leave but after three weeks we were ready to come home! (4 a.m. and everyone got up to see us off)

Emma Kate's favorite game!

Yeah its Fall!

We have been so busy and so I am just going to post some pictures to show what we have been up to. Enjoy!

Here are some pictures of our trip back to AL in October

We went to the beach with Aunt Abbey and we were able to see some friends (the Smiths and the Hanleys) while we were down there

Here are some pictures from October/November. After we got back from AL we carved pumpkins for halloween and we also went to a Hot Air Balloon Festival. There are also some pictures from thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween

While I have a few pictures of our trip to the Southeast I want to wait to post them until I get them all organized. I do want to put up some pictures from Halloween. Emma Kate was a chili pepper and did not like her costume very much. She is starting to pull up on things and the chili pepper was too constricting on her feet. It was also a little warm. Those are our friends Michael (the pea pod) and Alli. We will post trip pictures soon!

Are we ready to go?

Emma Kate is ready to go to Birmingham! Ashton wishes we were driving so he could go with us. We look forward to seeing you all next week!

War Eagle!

We watched a GREAT Auburn vs Florida game tonight. We enjoyed getting to see our team play well. Here are some pictures of Auburn family. Last weekend we went over to the Buchina's who are Auburn fans like us! Also, Emma Kate is eating baby food now. She is getting to be such a big girl. She turns 6 months tomorrow! (Sep 30)
