Happy Birthday Emme Grace!

Today is Emme's 7th Birthday. Unfortunately she had to stay home from school because she is getting over strep. YES she now has it. Thankfully we caught it before it got bad and so she was feeling good today and just enjoyed her day off from school.

I am ready for the season to be over!!

There are so many things about Emme that we love...

She always makes us laugh-even when we are getting on to her. Really one of my favorite stories about her wittiness is when she was little and she was just having one of those days and I told her that she was real close to me calling her dad and she said "Good I have been wanting to talk to him" I had to turn my head because I was cracking up. Who says that? When I said that to Maddi when she was little she would immediately stop whatever she was doing.

She is a summer girl. She is always in her swimsuit in the summer and we all tease her because she is impossible to talk to in the pool because she won't stay up long enough.

She has such a great imagination. She can keep herself busy anywhere just making up something to play and talking to herself.

She is a great sister.

I love how tender her heart is.

Not to mention we think that she is pretty cute!
She is such a great addition to our family.

We love her so much.

Happy Birthday Emme Girl!

Valentine's Weekend!

Andy and I decided that we weren't really going to do gifts this year. We were really just excited about going out to eat and see a movie together. It seems like forever since we have been out. So I was very surprised when the doorbell rang on Friday with this delivery. They are beautiful!! He also sent the girls a single rose.

We went to Boulevard Steakhouse and to see Taken. We had a GREAT evening.

The girls didn't have school on Monday so we went out to my grandparents' house so they could see all the kids and the girls were going to make bracelets.

Maddi is missing because she had strep for the 3rd time in 3 months. She always seems to get it on the weekends so she hung out with her dad and did some errands. She made her bracelet tonight since she was grounded from all things electronic because their room was so disgusting. (that is a whole other post)
I think that it turned out really cute!

While the girls' were making their bracelets, Drew was enjoying his Aunt Alicia's cupcakes.

He (hearts) them!

Really he does. At Bella's birthday party I think my mom cut him off at 3!
