Little Beauties!!!!

Halloween Costumes!

Emercyn wanted to be Snow White for Halloween this year, and she wanted Harper to be Cinderella. I'll be honest, I cringed just a bit when I heard this. EVERY little girl is Snow White or Cinderella at some point in their Halloween costume years. And most of the costumes are very plain and blah. I wanted my girls to stand out! So I came up with an idea....I'd make their costumes! And when I told Emercyn they'd be wearing tutus, she was totally on board!! So I bought some tulle, ribbon, appliques, shirts, and voila! The DARLING Snow White and Cinderella costumes were made! Check back in a couple of weeks to see the girls wearing them while trick-or-treating!!! :)

Halloween Party with Friends!

The girls and I had a "Halloween Playdate" with some great friends of our's. There were 7 kids (ages 2 months to 4.5 years) at the playdate. They all wore Halloween shirts, colored and played, and then snacked on "ghost bananas". It was tons of fun! It was the perfect day for a Halloween party! It was very rainy and stormy, and the lights even went out for a while! We love our friends and had so much fun with them!!!!!!

Baby H is 18 months old!

Harper is already a year and a half old! 18 months! Yikes! Where has the time gone? She's a TODDLER! I took her to her 18 month checkup last week. She's super healthy! The doctor was very pleased! She's in the 90th-95th percentile for both weight and height. She's actually 2 pounds heavier and 1.5 inches longer than Emercyn was at this age....and Emercyn was a big baby! The doctor even commented, "she's the size of a normal 2 year old"! :) He also said that her speech was ahead of most 18 month olds! Yay Harper!

Messy Girl!!

I don't really need to explain these pictures....pretty self-explanatory! :) Baby H LOVES spaghetti!! It's one of her favorite foods. And of course, we have to strip her down to her diaper for her to eat it!

Camping with Daddy!!!!

Emercyn has been begging her Daddy to take her camping, so we decided to set up a tent (thanks David and Greta for letting us borrow it!!!!) in the backyard! Harper's not quite old enough to camp, so she and I stayed inside. But Jason and Emercyn had a blast! They popped some popcorn and then watched some videos on his iphone. Lots of fun! So glad my girls have a Daddy that loves doing things like that with them! :)

My Little Cheerleader!!!!

The El Reno Cheerleading Squad held a cheer clinic for little girls.....and then they got to perform the following week at the football game!! :) This was the coolest thing to Emercyn! She thought she as a real cheerleader! SO CUTE!!!! And I must say, she was pretty fantastic! She memorized the words to the cheers, did the actions perfectly, and really got into the movements. This former cheerleader was very proud!!!!

Chester's Party Barn!

Emercyn's preschool class visited Chester's Party Barn for a field trip. We had lots of fun! We went to the petting zoo, rode a hay ride, went down a HUGE slide, rode a pony, and then visited the pumpkin patch. Emercyn absolultely loves this place!!!! Next year Harper will be in the Mother's Day Out program and I will get to go with her!!! Can't wait!

Miss E!

Emercyn's 4 year checkup went great!!!! She was such a big girl! In the past few years, she has not been the best patient. She hates the doctor and is scared to death of him. But we talked in depth about what would happen at this appointment, and it really helped. We even played doctor with her doctor kit a few times! She was the perfect patient this time around and I couldn't have been prouder!!!! :) Yay Miss E!!
