Mermaid

Or "marma" as Emerson says. We found these super cute barrettes in Hawaii and even though she has now picked off the flower in her hair (there was once one on her wrist too), her swirly top & finally her tail, she loves her mermaid. We do have another one but I am thinking maybe we should leave that one put up for a little longer.

stickers

I have found something that will entertain Emerson for a little while....STICKERS! I have been taking them EVERYWHERE!

"Me Me" (Quentin's mom) came by for a visit last week and guess what they got into?

Just some cute ones

These are just a few cute pictures that have been taken the last couple weeks. Emerson loves singing, dancing, animals & anything to do with art (coloring, painting and using chalk.)
She is very sweet 95% of the time and usually just tired the other 5%. Playing on Mommy & Daddy's bed is also something Emerson likes to do.

She found some ear buds and wanted to listen to Lady Gaga.

The above & 4 below were from one of my many backyard photo shoots.

LOVE the tongue!!

SWEET FACE!

Gosh, I love this face!!

Brushing her teeth. I wish every night were this easy!

Playing with the panda, which she used to be scared of.

She was out as soon as we got comfortable.

Ella's second

Our sweet neighbor Ella turned 2 a week after Emerson. They had the party in their backyard and we had a great time. All the kids enjoyed playing in the water, sand, bubbles and, of course, eating cupcakes & ice cream.

She was to small to climb the slide so Mr. Ricky held her up & let her slide.

Emerson & Caroline playing in the sandbox. Emer's favorite part of the party! After the party we took Emer home, gave her a bath & went to dinner. Then after dinner we walked back next door & before we could stop her Emer was back in the sandbox, in her dress!! Sorry, no pictures of that.

Meet the Rebels

A couple weeks ago we had a busy Saturday that started with a trip to Oxford for Meet the Rebels. We enjoyed visiting with friends, meeting some of the players and are very excited for the start of football season this weekend!

SUPERSTAR!

Emerson was wonderful while waiting to see the players! She just played with the goodies packed in her backpack.

Heading to Ella's party (yes, that will be the next post)

After further review...

I have discovered a few more pictures worth posting from Emerson's birthday party.

2nd birthday party

The zoo is one of Emerson's favorite places to be so we decided to have her birthday party there. The room has an animal theme and a neat mural on every wall. We stuck with the theme and made animal cupcakes & cake pops. We started the party with a puppet craft for the kids and enjoyed a lot of sugary treats. Even though it was 100+ degrees outside & about 85 degrees in the "monkey room" all of the kids seem to enjoy there selves. I know Emerson did.

I was HORRIBLE at taking pictures at the party. Most of the good shots where captured by Emerson's Uncle Kale & soon-to-be Aunt Anna Lauren. We didn't even get a family shot!! I can't believe I did not even think about that until 2 days later! I did take a couple cute pics of the Middleton's.
