Emma's 4th Birthday Party

Last year Ike hit and we had to move Emma's 3rd birthday party to the garage. This year, the rain came again! We had to move everything to our garage. The party started out great and Emma was all decked out in her Belle dress. We had people doing balloon animals and face painting. Emma was getting her face painted and passed out in the chair. Scared us all to death! Thank goodness we had a doctor in the house and Mike was great with Emma. She started feeling better and I moved everyone into the house to stay cool. Emma had a blast after her episode and has been herself since it happened. She's been playing with all her presents from everyone. Hagan was excited cause he got a few presents too. It was a great weekend and we were grateful to have family here for the event. Now we have lot of other things to look forward to in the coming year....Hagan turns 2 in December, Brad is getting married in April and Gus is getting married in August. We are going to have a busy year!

Happy 4th Birthday Emma!

Happy 4th Birthday our sweet Emma! We love you so much!!

Mommy, Daddy and Hagan

New Bikes

Neena and Grandaddy made it in this morning around 6 am. They were tired from driving all night but Emma sure was glad to see them! We didn't do much today since everyone was so tired but we went to Walmart this afternoon and let Emma pick out her bike for her birthday from Neena and Grandaddy. She was so proud of it!! Ma and Papa John bought Hagan a bike also so he wouldn't feel left out and he LOVE it! They are both so proud of their new bikes. Emma is in birthday mode and has been asking everyday if it's time to open presents. She is going to be rotten after this weekend. It is going to be a blast!

Emma's Pre-K Pic

Emma loves school. She talks about her friends and her teachers all the time. She is growing up so fast. She loves to learn and is always asking questions. She will sit for hours and work in her workbooks or color pictures. She has an insatiable appetite for learning. I'm so glad she does because I never did and it came harder for me. Emma's teachers tell me all the time how bright she is and how well she is doing. They moved her up a class last year and it made a huge difference. I hope Hagan has the same love for learning. This is her Pre-K picture she had done the second week of school and I picked it up today. Isn't she a doll...yes I know I'm biased but she is my little priss and I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world!

Long Weekend

We have thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend. We always love just getting to hang out as a family. We had nothing special planned..we just wanted to be together. We have went on walks, played tee-ball, grilled hamburgers, went bowling, played outside, and played putt putt. The kids have had a blast and they are both worn out. We dressed up in our Georgia gear Saturday to root on the Dawgs which I just won't even go there! The kids enjoyed cheering them on..they get a big kick out of it! Bowling was a new adventure for us tonight but the kids LOVED it. It was so funny. It would take about 10 minutes for Emma's ball to make its way down to the pins. All in all it was a great weekend. We are so blessed by our children and they bring so much joy to our lives.

Emma's Birthday Theme....

Belle's Magical World! Oh yes, we are going all out. She is so excited! We are going to have bouncers, slides, clowns, balloon art, and face painting. It is going to be one magical world!! She has already said she is wearing her Belle costume to her party. It is going to be lots of fun and Emma can't wait. She's been asking me every day if her party is today. I still can't believe she is going to be 4. Where does the time go??

September is definitely birthday season around here. Jason will be 31 friday...yes call him and tell him he is an old man! My mother in law and Jason's grandmother both have birthdays this month as well. We will be celebrating all month long!
