Emory Birthday weekend (Part 5)

Five post of Emory's birthday, and she hasn't even turned 3 yet!!! 

The boys spent the night and headed home early for church. We got dressed and ready to celebrate more with Gran and Pawpaw who made a quick trip up to see Emory. 

CC and I went last Friday to pick out Emory's bday presents. We bought her something super exciting and had to hide it for over a week! It was really hard (for CC) to not spill the beans!

 We got her FROGS!!!! Two teeny tiny frogs that live in this glass cube with a top (or they would not be able to come home with us!!) Emory was so excited and a little confused. After she realized they were real and her pets, she loved it! She named them Baby Allie and Baby Shane. CC thought for sure one of them would have been Diamond Diamond, but I think she's moved on from that name- thank goodness! Not sure where Baby Shane came from, but they are her frogs, so she got to choose the names:):)

 This sweet sister had a little bit of a hard time with all these presents and attention going to her little sis, but I think she handled it well. I know it has to be hard, but we tried to keep reminded her that her "Justin Beiber' birthday is only 2 months away. And then SHE will be getting all the presents, and possibly two frogs that she can name:):)

Gran and Pawpaw got Emory this cool bean bag chair. E was nice enough to share with sissy!

 She kept saying "I just love this thing"!!

We had a birthday breakfast and sang happy birthday! Then Gran and Pawpaw headed back home.

After naps, Mimi and Grandaddy came over to help us do some house projects. THey were so nice and stayed until dark helping us! Thanks so much! 

After a fun filled weekend, we went out with a bang.... in true 'terrible twos' fashion, she peed in our bed (....on my side)!!! 

I'm hoping she got it all out of her system and three is going to be a breeze! Somehow, I doubt it! 

She did call me into her room (trying to put off going to bed) saying "MOOOOOM, I need to tell you something. It's special." When I went in, she said, "Mom, I need to tell you something special. I LOVE YOU"- completely made up for peeing in my damn bed!! little stinker

Emory birthday weekend (Part 4)

After her birthday party, we went home to open a few birthday presents. Can you tell someone was excited!!

Christian took extra time to pick out the perfect gift for Emory. She got her a Whoopi Cushion ('poot-poot thing' as E says) and a cute magnetic letter writing board. CC was so excited for her to open it:)
After a few presents, then a nap, we headed back to Wee Flip for another birthday party for our great friend, Elise.

When we got home,  the cousins, Mimi, and Grandaddy came over to play and celebrate more. Here I am holding baby Whiting, thinking- 'hmmmm, I think I want another baby!!" Do you see both of our bottles?!

 Then we opened more presents. These are the fuzzy pink mustaches we got her! They were a hit!

Whiting even got in on the fun!

 Nothing more fun than the conga line with pink mustaches. These cousins have so much fun together!

 Then Miss 'Cool Girl' and Mr. 'I wore my mustache ALL night' kept opening presents.

 Mimi and Grandaddy got Emory the cutest miniature bike! It really is the smallest, cutest thing ever! She had Grandaddy take it out of the box to show her every little piece and tried her hardest to get him to put it together! If it weren't so late, I think she almost had him-  she's pretty good at talking ya into things!

Whiting sat with Mimi and watched her brothers and cousins run around like wild ones! Aren't they pretty?!

Emory's birthday weekend (Part 2)

We had Emory's birthday party on Saturday with her BFF, Georgia! 

All pictures of the birthday girls......

It was, by far, the easiest and best party EVER! They handled EVERYTHING- cupcakes, plates, napkins, decorations, party favors - everything! All we did was show up 15 minutes before the party and played with our kiddos. 

It was an absolutely perfect party and the girls had the time of their lives! 

Emory's bday weekend (Part 1)

It's a big weekend for us! Emory is turning 3 on Monday, and we have celebrated every minute of this weekend. We started Friday night but finding a frog.

 The girls were so excited and wanted to touch it. I wouldn't let them - you never know if they would end up with a wart!

Emory kept saying hey. Then told us that it was shaking it's bum-bum!

Then they tickled it with a  piece of monkey grass!

Our girls

How cute do they look going to school today?!!




This little one is going to be THREE in three days. I just can't get over it!!




And this one is going to be a whole hand plus one in June! She told me today she needs some Justin Beiber perfume for her Justin Beiber party- ha!




Emory looked down and saw her dress, ran to the mirror -"I gotta see if I have a pink bow or white bow. I hope it's a pink bow!!" Then when she saw it was a pink bow, she said "yay. It's a pink bow" and stared at herself for a while:):):)

Sweet CC

Bryan has been a little under the weather and CC wanted to get him a card. She picked it out and wrote it all by herself.




"Dear Daddy, you know I love you. It is great to live with you. Love CC. "
It has a rainbow with Daddy at the bottom with his hands on his hips.

How sweet is she!? It made Bryan's day:):)
