Happy Easter!











Emily had a wonderful Easter! We woke up early to find that the Easter Bunny left her some treats and hid some eggs. Then, we went to Fort Smith to go to church with Cita and Poppy. We went to an Easter egg hunt after church. It was very cold outside. We had an indoor egg hunt at Cita and Poppy's house. She loved opening the eggs to find "treats" inside. She especially liked the ones with money in it. ; ) After a wonderful lunch and a nap, we went to Fort Chaffee. We saw a little bit of daffodils on the side of the road, so we stopped for a photo. We hope to actually make it to the Wye Mountain Daffodil Festival next year.

Easter Egg Hunt







On Saturday, we went to Aunt Rachel's house. Nana and Grandpa were up there that day. We got to have lunch with them, then Ava and Emily had an Easter egg hunt outside. It was a little bit chilly, but Emily had a great time!

Fun Day




We had a great week before Easter! I was on Spring Break, so Roy and I got to do things with Emily as a family. He usually watches her on Thursdays and Fridays when I work because he is off those days. We took her to see Horton Hears A Who. It was a really cute movie and she loved getting her popcorn, soda, and fruit snacks. After it, we took her to IHOP to get her the JoJo's breakfast.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidnQQmgaTjDnuwP583wEuv6fShGFf7qgl4DYEmiVBMBIVXGlolDjS88GCJGoJcpaxIIsfIHlpST4gGgJMqBHUzGVDZcO607e_D3hwLcKat4VtqO90zkjutVIk5MiY6KgNThtEJtPAomZRN/s1600-h/whocakes.bmp It came with green eggs + ham and a mountain of pancakes with pink/purple syrup, sprinkles, and a lollipop on top! What a great day! On Friday, we went to Lake Fayetteville and had a picnic. She got to play on the playgrounds on both sides of the lake! Then, we had yummy ice cream at the new Cold Stone Creamery.

Palm Sunday



Emily wanted to wear her blue sailor dress AND hat to church on Palm Sunday, so I had to take a picture. I forgot it was the long mass, but she made it through it. She was a little fidgety, but quiet. I treated her to chips and dip after church for being such a good girl. She also was being rewarded for doing such a good job potty training! We're almost there!!! :)

Watching Ava


We watched Ava Saturday, Emily's cousin. They had a blast together! Ava especially liked the Gerber version of Cheetos we got for her (and Emily too) as you can see here. We hope to watch her again soon!


Easter Egg Hunt











This was actually taken one week ago, Sunday March 9th. It turned out to be a nice day, so we stopped by the Boys and Girls Club for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. We had a good time. She enjoyed getting her face painted, decorating cookies, and eating ice cream. Enjoy the pics!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!











Emily was stylin in her green today. It's hard to believe that this is her 3rd St. Patty's Day! I've included pictures from her 1st and 2nd ones to see how much she's changed. I can't believe she can still wear the dress from last year. :O) Andi and Brandon came over today. Andi brought a craft for them to make. Then, they ate green cookies and cupcakes. Yummy!
