Easter

We had a cold, but fun Easter. Patrick took her to an egg hunt at Garrett’s church and I met them there later. She went to another hunt at the Park near my mom’s house and we had a brunch with Auntie Neale Ann. She LOVED dying eggs, but she loves any craft activity. Owen and Emma chased each other around on her new pink car. They tried to help decorate the bunny cake, but ended up just getting covered in frosting. Overall, a fun weekend!

I am a fish!

In \ preparation for the summer, Emma has been taking swimming lessons. Our first session at the YMCA was not great, but now we have Doctor Katie, who is awesome. She is a professor and has been teaching mommy and me swimming for 50 years. Emma loves it and has learned to jump in, hang on the side, swim underwater and blow bubbles. She even floats on her back in the bathtub.

I love my Bird!

So for Owen's birthday, the kids went to Stuffing Bears (and had lunch at Johnny Rocket). Emma had a hard time decided what creature to make, but after several, "No"s to Daddy's suggestions, she picked a bird. Now, I hate birds, but she loves them She didn't want any clothes on it and she didn't like the sounds. She did like 'washing' her bird in this air stream in the store. Any she LOVES this silly parrot. She cries when I won't let her hold it during mealtimes and she greets the parrot upon entering the house with a hearty, "Hi Bird!" She feeds it crackers and pats it while saying, "Oh baby, hi bird." We don't know why she loves it, but it is really cute to see her play pretend.

Fathers' Day

Emma loves her Daddy. He takes such good care of her and they have so much fun together! She is such a lucky girl. Happy Father's Day.

All out of order, but getting caught up.

Excuse the out of order posts, but I am trying to get caught up. Here are just some cute shots.

Outside with Daddy

One of Emma favorite places to be is outside with her daddy. She is usually getting filthy, eating dirt and picking all his flowers. They have a great time together. There are so many of these pictures!
