Ole Miss football

My sweet buddy Teresa.

Emerson went with us to the Ole Miss/SE LA game a couple weeks ago. She was wonderful while tailgating and during the game (we did leave early because she got tired & we had a hefty lead). She will not go to all of the games but she will definitely go again this year. She seemed to enjoy the socializing and, of course, being the center of attention.

Emer's baby

We bought Emerson a new baby this week and she is IN LOVE with this doll. Emer actually gets excited when she sees this baby. She has other dolls that she pushes in her stroller and now seems to notice a little more but there is just something about this baby. She wants this new baby by her side at all times. When I took it out of the box she crawled right up to it and kissed it's bald head. I call this doll Emerson's mini me.

The second kiss.

Destin, FL

Emerson took her first trip to Destin last month. Of course, we had a blast. Emerson loved the sand & waves but did not like water getting in her face. We ate very well, shopped until we dropped and did a lot of relaxing. We hated to leave but were ready to sleep in our own beds. Enjoy the pics!

Ole Miss vs. Memphis

We took Emerson to her first Ole Miss football game last weekend. It was very hot but, as always, Emerson was a trooper. She just hung out and played. We are excited to take her to Oxford this weekend. Hotty Toddy!

We didn't take the camera but took the following pics before we left the house.

13 months

It is crazy for me to think back to a year ago. Emerson was only a month old & so tiny. She is talking A LOT! She mostly says "Mama" & "Dada" but has also started saying "Lala" which is supposed to be Ella (our sweet neighbor). She started "Lala" one night while I was looking @ Ashley's blog w/Emer in my lap. Now she says it anytime I say Ella. She loves that girl! Emerson still isn't walking but has been cruising a lot more since she has been hanging out w/Ella, who is walking. Ashley & I have been taking turns watching both girls and giving the other mom a little time to do the things that are easier to do without a 1 year old in tow.

While Ella was at our house one day this week I put them both on the 4 wheeler and they had a blast. It also appears we have some little daredevils on our hands....

Stay tuned, I hope to have Florida pics up this week.

Ella's birthday party

On the 23rd we headed down to Funky's in Oxford for Ella's first birthday party. We had a great time and Emerson loved watching all of the big kids play. If you are ever in Oxford I highly recommend stopping by Funky's for some pizza, it was delicious. We also had some yummy birthday cake made by Alice Chow in Clarksdale. Of course, Emerson loved both the pizza & cake.

Emerson's first birthday party

We had a small birthday party for Emerson on the 15th. I didn't get any good pics of all the grandparents but got a couple cute ones of Emerson. Thank you to all of the grandparents for the wonderful gifts. Emerson enjoyed seeing everyone and REALLY enjoyed her cake & ice cream.
