1st Grade Young Author's Night

What a cute 1st Grade event at Dunham.  The kids write and illustrate their own book and get to preview the book during Young Author's Night.  Emerson's book was entitled "The Life of Duncan" and was about our family and how happy we are to have Duncan in it and how we got him.  Super cute.

 

 Emerson and Ms. Elizabeth

Emerson and her friend Camille.  Camille and her family came to watch Young Author's Night because Julian dedicated his book to Hayes, Camille's brother.

 

Emerson and her buddy Bailee.  Bailee's book was about her and Emerson and was titled, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun".

Em and her Girls

Amanda and the girls came in town a few weekends ago.  Their first trip to the new house and our first house guests here.  Of course Em, Bella and Avery had the usual fun together.  They spent some time in the parks before they had to head back to Jackson. 

 

"What, this is a dance floor...our chairs can't go here?"

A quick trip, but the girls had fun anyway and we knew we would be seeing them in a month at the beach.  At least Em had something to look forward to.

iPad fun

Happy Summer! Lots of Posts to catch up on, hoping to get back to that when I can...

Em was playing on the iPad a few weeks ago, which she does often, and most of it gets deleted.  How fun are these!  I really think you can see how much she looks like Mom in these.

 

 

 

 

Audubon Zoo

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.  I can't stand it. This was as far back as I could find with her and this statue at the Zoo.  

 

2008- 2 years old

2013- 6 years old

We went this past Saturday and it was the perfect Zoo day.  Not too hot with a cool breeze. She was way to cool...shades, map, cross-body purse. Oh and she would stop to put on lipstick whenever she thought about it- which could be as often as every 30 minutes or so. Lord help us...

Here's the towel Mom

I seemed to have gotten a little wet.

Feels like summer

YUM!

Squeezing baby chicks

Emerson has been attending AgMagic since she was old enough to walk.  She loves it and insists on going every year.  Denny took her and Jackson last weekend and all they seemed interested in doing is holding baby chicks.  They made a stop at City Park on the way home and got a little wet.  It all seemed like a great idea until it was time to get in the car...
