Six months old

My name is Emily and I am six months old. I love my solid foods, am teething (but have no teeth), refuse to sit on my own because I want to stand up and mom is making me wait six hours before I can eat at night.

Siblings

These two just warm my heart. I love that they are so in love!

Island Park

Every August we make a trip to Island Park in Eastern Idaho. It is so much fun to get away for an entire week and unplug. The views aren't bad either:

We have a top secret huckleberry spot that I am completely obsessed with. I spent three days picking and was lamenting all the berries I didn't get to.

No trip is complete without me seeing a moose, so I am glad on the next to last day, this momma and calf showed up:

And this little girl was a TROOPER! The six hour car ride didn't even phase her!

I am sad I didn't get a family picture under the Stonehocker sign in front of the cabin, but it was raining when we left. At least the rain made it easier to leave!

Someone is excited to be FIVE months old!

Emily's Baptism

Last Sunday was a big day in our family, as it was Emily's baptism. I love this little girl so much my heart could explode and I was so happy to have her "reborn" on this special day. The boys were good little church goers too! I think it is funny that Lesley and I often dress the boys the same...without planning it!

Family Swim

It is HOT here in Boise. Luckily, my grandparents have a pool where we can cool off! This was Emily's first time in the water and she really liked it (what's not to like when it is 100 degrees out?!??!)

Meanwhile, Spencer is becoming quite the fish...

It goes by fast...

I think because this is my last baby, there is a part of me that wants her to stay a baby for longer. When Chris suggested we get out the exersaucer thingy, I was like, no way, she isn't big enough. Well, actually mom, she is...
