Destin

Well, I was doing so good trying to catch up & then I fell apart. I have a million excuses but will skip that & just say I am sorry. Our family has a lot going on right now but I will do my best to stop ignoring my blogs. (I have not made anything for Randomly Crafty in months! Poor abandoned blog! I will try to get on that too!)

Let me start by saying we LOVE the beach! Well, Emer & I do. Q really likes it but only for a couple hours. Em & I could stay all day. We spent a lot of time on the beach, outlet shopping & eating. I also got to take a short trip to Destin's lovely new ER, by ambulance of course. Everything is ok. Just my diabetes acting up. Stupid low blood sugars!!!

a seashell, or maybe a rock :)

The Easter bunny barrette I made for baby cakes.

Do you LOVE this or what? Emer sure does.

Be still my heart! Oh, how I love her!!!

Our last night. She is watching Tangled for the hundredth time while Q & I pack.

April's turn

We started April by meeting my dear friends baby boy, Luke Alexandru.

He is so cute & Emer was in heaven!

The above pic & next few are from a pretty Sunday afternoon outside.

I think this girl needs a sandbox. HA!

Playing with her mini-Snow White (on her collar)

playing the guitar for her MeMe & Pops

She is into music these days. She sings and plays any instrument she gets her hands on.

Showing off some BIG strawberries or "Mommy" strawberries as she calls them.

such a little cheeser

She had a lot of fun posing for these.

Ole Miss Spring game

Happy girl!

Visiting with her buddy Susie.

She was going to put on a sun hat & came back wearing this.

That is one tired girl!

Our back yard resembles a lake!

Feeding Roxy. She is in the dog food box.

She must have thought Roxy was really hungry.

The 18th

Saturday the 18th was busy for us but also a bunch of fun! Emerson's buddy, Caroline, turned 4 and they had her party at Cedar Hill Farm. Emer loves this place! We usually go Easter & Halloween but had not been for a party.

Sweet Caroline

First, the kids played on the playground.

Emer had a blast on the tire swing with Caroline & Amelia.

Playing with her buddy Ella.

Riding on a train with the big girls.

Amelia is so sweet & patient with Emer.

The Pollan's

Nick & Ella calling turkeys

giggling at the goat eating out of her hand

Look at the goat :-)

BIG PIG

watching the "chicken show"

She is still talking about riding the pony.

AWWW!

Ella wanted to drive the tractor

Go Ella! Go!

Yes, I actually gave Q the camera, for a minute.

Swinging before cake & presents. We really enjoyed ourselves at the party.

Happy birthday Caroline!!

After a quick nap we were off to the Stripling's for dinner. Emer has always looked up to Makayla and we love her parents. It is a win for everyone.

The girls played & played in the jeep and on the swing set.

SO SASSY!

Emer jumps in the driver's seat any chance she gets. Of course, she now wants a jeep.
