Colorado bound!









I guess we are starting a tradition of going to see Mark's family in Colorado at the beginning of December since we did it once again this year! This was Emma's first plane ride and she did amazing!!! She actually slept most of the time! However, we learned that the pressure changes apparently makes Emma have very large dirty diapers!...like blowout style! Let me just say, that when your child has a blowout on the plane, there are a number of things that occur! First of all, you are in a small confined area and there is no way to roll a window down to let the smell air out any! Secondly, when the plane is completely full and the poop is up to her neck, down to her ankles, and everywhere else, WHERE IN THE WORLD do you change that diaper! There is NOWHERE! So needless to say, we wrapped a burp cloth around her to try to muffle the smell for the other passengers and tried to ignore the incident although she laughed at us because we were obviously in panic mode! Nevertheless, we made it there and home and she did amazing! Colorado was great as always and their was lots of snow everywhere! It is always nice to go there bc their isn't much to do in Fleming so we get to relax and be lazy not feel guilty for it! We did get to go to Zac's musical program at school and it was fun! Pops got to carry Emma around and MeMe and Pops definitely showed her off to all at school!

2009 Copeland family pictures
























































Here are the pictures we took for 2009! Tiffany Padilla did them and she did an amazing job considering it was freezing cold that day AND Emma was not cooperative AT ALL!!! But I still love them and will cherish them forever!

Emma's Baby shower!











































































I was blessed with 2 baby showers...one from my amazing co-workers and one from my best of family and friends! I never did post pictures from either...I don't have any right now from the work shower but I do have some from my other. Mark's cousin's wife, Sarah, one of my best of friends, threw this shower for me and my wonderful friends helped host it with her. Sarah and her mom came all the way from Dallas and spent so much time and money to do this for me and I could never repay them! She is as close as a sister and I will love her always for so many reasons. My friend Lori volunteered to have it in her home and I know how inconvenient that can be at times and I am grateful for friends like her! All my hostesses were great friends who I hold so close and who are always there for me...in the good and the bad times! And to all who were able to come! It meant the world for you to think of us during our special time of preparing for our sweet Emma Grace to come into this world! Thanks again to all!!! Love you ALL!

Visits from MeMe & Pops





I am SOOO behind on my blog and so while Emma's down for the night and Mark is working, I'm going to try to catch up some! I am going to be posting some old pictures but just bare with me and I'll get current! Hope all is well!

Here's the beginning of the late posts! After Thanksgiving, Mark's family got to come stay with us for a while and we always enjoy them being here so much! Emma had grown so much since they had last seen her before this trip which was when she was born for Pops and when we was a few weeks old for MeMe! Uncle Tyler and Uncle Zac got to come too and Emma Grace sure does love her uncles! Here is some pics of our time with all of them!
