Helpful Little Girl...

We are so blessed to have such a helpful little girl.

She feeds the hungry... OK so she is feeding her friend Abi, and though Abi is very well cared for and fed, what baby turns down cheerios.

She recycles... maybe it's more like plays with boxes around the house, but that's reusing it, right? Obviously daddy was having just as much fun as Emory.

She cleans up after herself... not putting away toys but changing her own diaper. This needs some background information. I had just changed her (dirty) diaper and let her down to play in her room, I walked into the living room and called her to come out. I heard her little feet running down the hall and to my surprise as she turns the corner she has her diaper in hand.Not just a diaper, but a poopy diaper. Yes, so helpful!

Only A Mother Knows...

Emory is learning to say so many things right now. Our current vocabulary includes; dadda, momma (rarely), hat, bread, baby, ball, out, all done, night night, and balloon. Today at lunch Emory got blue berries and I was talking to her about them. To my surprise she already knows all about them and decided she wanted to say blue berry. It may not sound like it to anyone else, but as her mommy I know she was saying it! What a big girl.

Fountain Fun!!!

Once again we went to the Arboretum, and once again we meet our friends Kristi and Carson. But we had something new for the kids to do, it was hot and the frog fountains were on! It turned out that Carson and Emory mainly stood by the fountain and looked at it, but they still had a good time.
Getting closer to the water...Chasing Carson around.It looks like Carson had a great time with the fountains!

Emory Is One Cool Chick!!!

I love this picture of Emory. My dad put some of my old sunglasses on her in the car and she kept them on! I was shocked. She even pulled down the glasses and looked over the top, it was so funny.

You can't see in the sunglasses picture but Emory has been rocking the pigtails lately. My favorite part is that they stick straight out to the side!

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a great day!

More of the Arboretum...

Of course we have been at the Arboretum. It's been nice, Emmy can run, and since we have a membership I feel like every time I go I am getting an even better deal. I keep thinking someday she will ask why our grass isn't that green (tough luck daddy) or why we don't have that many flowers.

Running for the squirrel!!Peek-a-boo, I see you!I took Emmy by the frog fountains, which were turned off that day. It was good because she could explore without getting soaked. The funniest thing was when she sat down in front of the frog and just happened to sit the same way. Such a cute little girl!We love meeting our friend Carson at the Arboretum. He is always on the go but that is why the Arboretum is so good. This is the only picture I got of the two kids.

Running around...

Taking a break...

And we're off again!

Emmy really enjoys riding in the wagon, and Carson liked it too as long as it kept moving!
Love you little Em!

Jaypa and Nanny Dess' Visit...

Emory's Jaypa and Nanny (Grant's parents) came for a visit and we had such a great time! Just like every other time family comes down, we forget to take pictures, but here are the few that we have. Jaypa and Nanny brought Emory some little slippers that jingle when she walks. Surprisingly, Emory thought they were fun too! I like knowing where she is when she has them on. We took Grant's parents to the Arboretum while they were here. Emory loves to run around the grassy lawn and tackle the steps. It was such a beautiful day! Emory was hiding in the wagon.

Emory is pointing out the fish.
We also took Emory by the frog fountains. I she liked them.Way to go Arboretum for having such amazing tulips!!
