Labor Day=Best Friends and Birthdays!

Annie and Ryan came up for Labor Day and for my 30th BIRTHDAY-- I'm soooo behind- I haven't even posted J's bday-- but I figured I would so this and then so his ;) ps- Ryan found Emmy's Pocahontas wig-- awesome.
It was HOT.
We went to the TRIPLE- yes triple feature at The Big Mo--- it's only been a week and I am aching for that place! The movies ended at 4 am- and yes we stayed-- the girls fell asleep- but it was a GREAT start to a great weekend.
Ems had her first rootbeer float-- she liked it- obviously.
and then that night AMBER came up too--- what amazing friends I have to celebrate my life!
what a party.
Coconut cupcakes- HEAVEN from Annie's mommy. I love that woman (Emmy called them lettuce cupcakes-- she is so funny!)
Emmy with her two A aunties-- she is so lucky!
Wifesavers ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh put a little South in your mouth-- yep- that's the slogan ;)
Baseball on Labor day-- so nostalgic.
Emmy loved her first baseball game.


HAPPY HAPPY times!
fun times
BFFs
the cutest couple around ;) ha!
Nature loving ladies.
One of the best weekends ever! I LOVE best friends and am sooooo thankful for them in my life.

Mr. Harry and Emmy's snow cone~

Mr. Harry (or Missa Haiwy as Emmy says) bought Emmy her very first frozen treat from an ice cream truck-- she was delighted. He said she could pick anything and the snow cone was the winner~interesting choice.


They are best friends and Emmy still talks about him and says she misses her Mr. Harry- I am so grateful for amazing people- we have been blessed to find very kind friends in all of the many places we have lived-- I feel like Heavenly Father keeps putting these great people in our lives and it is a tender mercy.
Ems is the world's best sharer and Elles appreciates it!

Happiness is~

Fruit gum!
Sleeping wherever you want.
My first pecan pie (delish!).
Adorableness.
Awesome street names.
"Good Girl" treats.
Eating toes.
Flowers from my husband.
Sleeping whenever you want.
Dressing alike.
Sleeping in strange positions.
"tricking"
The Krispy Kreme light buring bright!

It's a Bug's life...

The infamous Spider and Cada~ yes- one morning, we woke up and this little bit of lovely was outside our window- let's just say that Emmy was ecstatic to say the least and often tells the story of the "Spider and the Cada"
Going with the insect theme~ we found Mr. preying mantis outside of Hobby Lobby... Emmy again was delighted...
He was huge and kept us busy for a LONG time.
Until he hated us and flew directly into Emmy's face-- we both SCREAMED and then laughed so hard-- and she said "He didn't know me! I thought I was going to eat him! ha ha ha ha" (in a high hysterical voice that was a little panicky and I have to say I felt the same way ;)

Ellie is my favorite 7 month old!

This post is mostly about Elle Belle- soooo I thought I would start with a shout out for Miss Ems- I love her and she is amazing- and she gets cuter every day!
Ellie loves to blow raspberries-- she sounds like a motor boat ;)
nice-
Penelope Jane-- at 7 months, you stopped breast feeding (literally on your 7 mo b day- last feeding)~
You babble all of the time~
You can sit up~
You love to skoot but not crawl~
You love to eat~
You roll everywhere~
You are delightful!
You understand the words BaBa and "are you hungry?" and get super excited when I say them~
You LOVE LOVE music and always dance when you hear it~
You love your sister and are VERY patient with her~
All in all, I couldn't ask for a sweeter, prettier or more fun little friend to have around- I love you and LOVE to send time with you and kiss your edible cheeks and thighs! ah! you are perfect xoxo
