More birthday fun!

As you can tell by the pictures, Emma Kate loved her cupcake!   She didn't hesitate to dig in.   I think in the first picture she had begun to go into a sugar coma.  Now, if I could only get her to eat her veggies like that!

Emma Kate's first birthday

We celebrated Emma Kate's first birthday last weekend.  It was so much fun.  We had a pink and brown extravaganza .  Our sweet neighbor made a dress for her,which you can't see in the pictures, that started the whole pink and brown theme.  Then we found pink and brown polka-dot shoes too!  We went a little crazy.   We were so thankful for all the people that were able to come celebrate with us.  I can't believe my baby is already a year old!

Braden's fist day of preschool

Stopping to look at an ant on his way.

He immediately found a truck to play with when we walked in.  I had to get his attention to say goodbye which he promptly said, "See ya."  

Braden had his first day of preschool Tuesday.  It was definitely harder on me than it was on him.  He had a blast.  My little boy is growing up.

GET DADDY!!!

The kids love to climb all over daddy. Okay, Emma Kate is lying down in most of these pics, but she tries.  I promise John is alive in these pictures...it had been a long day.

Bed Head

Emma Kate woke up from her nap the other day with a bad case of bed head so I just had to take a few pictures.  She doesn't seem to mind.  I, of course, had to chase her down and try to tame it!

Pretty pink bow

I put a bow in Emma Kate's hair for the first time yesterday!!  I've been waiting for her hair to get long enough!! I love it...John on the other hand is not so thrilled.  Emma Kate seems to like it or at least tolerate it.  

Louisville, continued

Louisville

We went to Louisville to visit with Braden and Emma Kate's Nana.  We had a lot of fun, playing and swimming in the  pool.

Emma Kate playing with her big brother's toys.  That is a leggo man in her mouth, probably her favorite thing to chew on.
