El Reno Fair!

Jason and I took the girls to the El Reno Fair. It's the same weekend as the Hinton Fair, which we usually go to. But this year we decided to go to the El Reno Fair since we've been here 6 years and have never been!!! We had a great time! Emercyn rode the carousel, the little "cars", a tiny roller coaster, and I rode the ferris wheel with her. Hopefully next year Harper can ride some rides too!! We also took the girls into the animal show barn to see the pigs and sheep! And Daddy even played a game to win the girls both a stuffed animal (Emercyn got a pink/blue puppy and Harper got a purple monkey). We had a great time, and the girls fell right to sleep when we got home and put them in bed. :)

Baby H!!!!

Our sweet little Harper Belle! Just wanted to show a few recent pics of our little darling!!! :) Notice the sock monkey in a couple of the pics....she is so attached! She sleeps with it for every nap and at night time. And we take it almost everywhere we go. Those of you that remember when Emercyn was a baby, she had a pink baby doll she was attached to. She carried that thing until very recently in fact! I have a feeling Harper and her monkey will be together for quite some time!

Miss E is in PRESCHOOL!!!

Miss E started preschool on August 18th. She missed the pre-k age requirement for this year by 2.5 weeks. So preschool it is! She goes Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Three days a week isn't bad, and Jason and I think it will prepare her mentally and physically for the all-day-every-day schedule she'll be doing next year at pre-k. The school she is at also has a Mother's Day Out program she attended last year. So she's familiar with the school and the teachers, which really helped. Her teacher, Miss Madelyn, is fabulous! And Emercyn is in class with her bff from her MDO class, so that helped make her first day a breeze! I was so proud of my big girl!

Craft Time!!!

Emercyn found a picture of a bird feeder in one of my magazines that she wanted to make. It was made from an old milk carton, which we just happened to have. So we decided to make it one afternoon! It was a lot of fun, and Miss E had a blast decorating it!! Every day she looks outside at the tree we hung it on to see if any birds are eating. So far, we haven't seen any. :( Hopefully we will soon!!!

Fun in the Sun!!

The girls have a little Elmo water toy (or "Elmo Sprinkler" as Emercyn calls it) that they LOVE playing with! So we pulled it out and let them have some much needed fun in the sun!!!

The Abbey Resort!

Jason and I had the most amazing time on our vacation!! We ate some fabulous food, got some much needed relaxation, cooled off with their 80 degree temps, and expolored our adventurous side with parasailing and ziplining! Jason did some golfing and fishing while I visited the spa, which were just the icing on the cake! And a HUGE thanks to my mom for staying with the girls. They had a wonderful time and we were able to enjoy our time knowing they were in safe hands! :)
