5 Year and 1 Year Pictures

We took the girl's back in July to have their 5 year and 1 year pictures made. The photographer did a great job, I just wish she wasn't so expensive so I could use her more. These are a few of the sneak peeks that we're sent to me a few weeks ago.

Kindergarten !

My first born babygirl had her first day of Kindergarten this morning. Daddy took off work so he could be here to take her to school. That made it extra special. When we picked her up, we asked what she did today and she proceeded to tell us that she made 3 friends but didn't remember their names and that she had a ham sandwich for lunch. So much for learning in school these days. ha. We did get to see a paper that she practiced writing her A's/a's on, but I guess it just wasn't important enough to actually tell us about. I am super excited for my Lucy and can't wait to see how much she grows and learns this year. I know she is going to be a wonderful student !

So Behind..

I have been a complete blog slacker over the past few months . Please forgive me ! With Chad gone, it was tough trying to keep up with blogging plus everything else. Anyway- Chad got home on July 3rd, just in time for Emersyn's 1st Birthday on the 5th. We spent that day just hanging out as a family and celebrating by having cupcakes and gifts at home. It was a great day ! Angie came to visit on the 8th and was here for Emersyn's party, which turned out fabulous ! We also made our first visit to the Jelly Belly Factory while Angie was visiting. It was a cute place, and a dream for any kind of candy fanatic. I am more of a chocolate person, which is why I ended up leaving with a bag full of every kind of chocolate jelly bean they make.

On the 24th of July, Lucy turned the big 5 ! It was so hard for me to believe that my first born babygirl was already 5 years old. I still can't fathom it some days. We celebrated her big day with a SPArty for her and a few friends and then came back to our house for water play, snacks and cake. It was a perfect day !

Kindergarten starts tomorrow and Lucy is uber excited ! Me- I'm a litte sad but I am ready for my girl to embark on a new chapter in her little life. I know she will be a wonderful student !

We also planned ourselves a family vacation to San Diego when Chad got home. We actually just got home a few days ago. It was a fun trip but we we're all ready to get back home after being gone for almost a week. While there we enjoyed lots f beach time, Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. Next trip on our list- hopefully Mississippi !

Needless to say, I have TONS of pictures that need to be uploaded. I will do my best to get everthing updated over the next few days.

Also, I forgot to mention :

Emersyn is a WALKER ! She started taking steps not long before Chad got home, and started full on walking about 2 weeks after she turned one. And she's 13 months old now. Where has the time gone?

Lucy's Pre-K Picture

My sweet Lucy will be graduating Pre-K next Friday.

I seriously cannot believe that my first born babygirl will be in Kindergarten next year.

Am I seriously the mom of a Kindergartener? : (

Where has the time gone?

Below is Lucy's spring Pre-K picture. It's a sweet picture of my girl.

Don't you agree?

Water Play..

Emersyn wasn't too sure about the water the first time we put her in it a few weeks ago.

I think her only issue was that the water was super cold.

Heck, I wouldn't have wanted to sit in that water. But since it doesn't seem to bother Lucy..I thought Em wouldn't mind it either.

I was wrong.

I think she lasted all of 10 minutes before she was trying to crawl off into the grass.

Hopefully it will get warm again here soon and we can have more water time.

She and Lucy both start swim lessons in June. (Only if it decides to warm up above 75)

Enjoy the pics below of Emersyn's first water play day.

10 Months Old ( A few days late)

Emersyn turned 10 months old on 5th.

I'm a few days late on updating because I was waiting on her 10 month pictures so I could add them to the post. I got them today, so here they are.

Not sure how much little missy weighs but I'm pretty sure she is about 18 lbs now.

Girl loves her food and will eat anything you put in front of her.

She is a SUPER fast crawler and can get from one end of the house to the other before you can blink.

She pulls up on everything now and has started trying to climb up things like book shelves, the dishwasher and the refridgerator. I actually caught her sitting on the shelf underneath the entertainment center in our bedroom this morning. She was mad because she couldn't figure out how to get down.

No cruising yet but I'm sure it won't be long.

She still only has 4 teeth and none coming in that I have noticed. But they are the cutest 4 teeth I have ever seen !

Her signature face is the scrunching of her nose and a big cheesy grin ! You will notice it in alot of her pictures.

She is an extremely happy baby and very easy going. I can't wait for Chad to get home and see how much she has grown. It's amazing !

Speaking of, only about 7 more weeks (give or take a week) until Chad should be making his way back home. We are looking forward to his return. It sure is lonely around here without him !

Enjoy the pics below.

Easter 2011

Hope everyone had a great Easter.

We sure did !

The girls woke up Sunday morning to some goodies and an early morning egg hunt around the living room. Even little Mookie got 2 little eggs with bones in them. Couldn't leave him out.

We attended Church, came home to eat a wonderful lunch prepared by Nanny, and enjoyed an egg hunt in the backyard.

Emersyn found her 4 eggs really quick, with the help of Papaw, of course !

Lucy did well finding her eggs too and then she spent the rest of the afternoon hiding eggs for Nanny, Papaw and me to find.

It was a perfect day filled with lots of Blessings !

Enjoy the pictures below of our day.
