I'm a big kid now!

Emory wants to do everything like her sister....including swinging in the 'big girl' swing!

The second we pulled into the driveway, she wanted to go outside and swing. Daddy got home right after us and Emory immediately pulled him to the swing!

Daddy, are you pushing me?

OH YEAH! Higher Daddy! Higher! I think Daddy is having fun!

I LOVE the big swing! Forget the baby swing with a seat belt!

Field Trip

4K & 5K at CC's school had a field trip to the pumpkin patch today and I was a chaperone so I drove Christian and one of her friends from her class. Having a friend ride in the car w/ us made CC BEYOND excited! I think that could have been her field trip and she would have been happy!
Christian's 4K class.....aren't they adorable!

This is CC's friend (crush::):):) from 3k, Sully! She was so happy to see him. At the end of the day, while we were picking up our pumpkins and getting in our cars, I saw Sully run over and give her a big hug! I thought she was going to DIE! What is she going to be like when she has a crush in high school?!

Ms. Donna and CC...perfect match for Christian. And Ms. Donna was bragging on Christian....telling me how smart she is and what a sweet, precious girl she is! CC was listening to her and just looked over her shoulder at me and smiled!

CC and her bow-head friend, Clara, from 3K! Could their bows get any bigger? I LOVE IT!

Proud mama on a field trip with her favorite 4 year old!

Christian and her great friend, Lydia! They are so cute together and play so well!

What a FUN day!!!

Date weekend!

-
This weekend the girls are being spoiled at Mimi and Grandaddy's house! So that means that Bryan and I are on our for the weekend. Friday night we went out for dinner and a movie! We went to eat at Chuy's AND loved it!!! The food was great and the atmosphere is fun. It would be a great place to take kids too bc it's loud! When we ordered a drink the waitress asked if we were 21! I told her "Yes. And to prove it I am going to ask you to take a picture of my hubby and me since we are actually out to dinner without kids!!!" then we saw Social Network- great movie (even with the group of 8 middle school kids who chose to sit right next to us in an empty theater and talk the whole time). Saturday we went to friends to watch the game and cook out. We miss our girls like crazy but I have loved hanging out with my hubby all weekend!
The girls are living it up at Mimi and Grandaddy's.... Pictures to come!

I Love the Dentist!

Both the girls had dentist appointments at 8:00 on Thursday. Bryan was originally going to take the girls, but I decided to go in late to work b/c I just couldn't stand the thought of missing my little Emory's first dentist appointment. So, we head that way (Bryan and the girls in his car....CC wanted them to ride w/ him b/c she has a big girl car seat in there and LOVES it! me in my car). They got there before me, and as I'm driving it hit me that I forgot to bring the 30 minutes worth of paperwork they mail to you so you can fill it out before the actual appointment. SOooooooooooo.....long story short- I didn't get to make it to the appointment b/c Bryan had to fill out the paperwork again and I had to get back to my kiddos at school. But being the best daddy that he is...Bryan took tons of pictures for me and gave me a play-by-play of everything!

CC went back by herself and did fantastic! She even got a magic pencil that changes colors! Emory did not cry ONCE! The ladies there loved her and couldn't get enough of sweet Emory! She let them clean and fluoride her teeth (CC at that age just screamed and cried the entire time, only letting the dentist look in her mouth for a quick second!). Oh...and that cute gap in her teeth might not end up being so cute! It's actually skin inbetween her teeth! The dentist said that you can get it clipped but he's not a fan of clipping, and if it's still like that at 7/8 we'll talk. But you know what.....that gap WILL NOT be cute at 7/8 years old. So, we'll see.....might have to find a doc that IS a fan of clipping!

Fall festival

We headed to our church Fall Festival this afternoon....we are definitely getting plenty of opportunities for Halloween dress up!!!

run away bride!

Emory L.O.V.E.D the bounce house SO much that I had to climb in to get her out!(not a pretty sight:):)

We saw our friends, The Nations ,and their little pumpkin! I wish Emory had her pumpkin costume on....what a cute picture that would have been!!

Christian with her friends, Hudson and Lydia. When I asked Hudson to go stand by Christian to take a picture he was slowly trying to grab her hand. You can't see, but they are holding hands! His mommy told him that Christian was dressing up as a bride and he told her he was going to be put on his black outfit!!!

graffiti and photo shoot

So, this morning we had A LOT to do to get ready for church. Of course, we didn't set our alarm b/c the girls usually wake us up, but today they slept in. So, when Bryan and I finally woke up, we began the process of getting ourselves ready, bathing the girls (put it off last night and never got around to it), dressing the girls, breakfast, bags packed, etc.... Then Emory decided to do a little graffiti on our hallway wall! At least the marker didn't get on her new dress, I guess!
Then to add to the madness, I decided we needed pictures b/c everyone looked so clean and pretty.

Emory. My sweet sweet Emory. You're giving me a run for my money!!!:):) But I love you even more for it! You know exactly what you want!

And I know exactly what I need......to purchase The Strong Willed Child and to remember that you and CC are TWO totally different girls!

Bryan is happy

A women at his work said it best...."A man in a suit driving a truck.....mmmm- it dun't get any better than that!"
