One Last Disney Day~

For my 30th birthday Jason's Mom was kind enough to give me a 3 day hotel stay next to Disney as my present-- and, miraculously~ it was the LAST weekend that our Disney passes were valid! Emmy got to have one last Disney fun and we got to have a much needed vacay-- THANK YOU MOTHER!
Emmy got her fill (well not really) of the princesses.


and we got to have gorgeous Disney moments-- my fav.


Emmy remembered that the carousel is one of her most favorite things.


She really thought she was the star and waved to everyone as flew by.
Ellie endured and enjoyed-- a little of both--
She is perfect.
I love this-- I love Emmy pushing and Elle's leg position- they are both so funny.
Thanks to a VERY dear friend-- my family got to go to one of the Disney days with us-- hooray!




When Mom and Josh had to go home (it POURED and they were on the brink of pneumonia) Emmy could only read and not say goodbye- Josh thought it was hilarious.
Booky with her 30 year old baby-- wow.



Papa got to stay with us until the park closed- here he is with his girlies.
"see the castile papa!"
Ellie even got in on the princess action-- I'm soooo happy!


So this is love.

I'm sorry-- but that face!
My amazing friend Jen let me borrow their pup tent-- I LOVED it and may never go back to a pack and play.

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 ;)
