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

7 months

I have a million adorable pics of this kid to post-- but here is the 7 month before I catch up! how is it that she just gets cuter?!

1st BiKe RiDe!!!

Emmy has been dying for a bike--she rides them when we go to Walmart (classy)- I've been trying to justify making a $70.00 purchase for a 2.75 year old... soooooo- I found one at Goodwill for $6.00!!! hooray!!! yay!!! and yipee! needless to say- Emmy is delighted and she is pretty good-- the steering is a bit of a struggle- but she is a great peddler--



PROUD little thing isn't she!

Emotions by Emmy~

I asked Emmy to show me faces for different feelings-- these are what she came up with-- I love them!

Hair, Harry and everyday fun!

Our life is fun! The elders are next door~ Emmy loves them-- and they love us!
Emmy's hair just keeps getting more and more gorgeous!
Emmy got a post card from Mickey Mouse (he has Booky's handwriting!)-- the picture says it all~
again- we have pretty fun days!This is Harry- Emmy's best friend- we love so many things about Harry: his gold teeth- , his mini cigars-and the voice that comes with it, his rings, and his kindness... but most of all~that he is the nicest guy in the world and that he adores Emmy (and the feeling is beyond mutual) if she sees him she starts to squeal "Harry! Harry! Hello!" and runs and hugs him- and then he says "hello Miss Emmy! give me some suga!~ oh, wow! that was so sweet-- you have the best kisses around!"
