Baby H!!!!!

Oh how I love this happy baby!!! :) She's so much fun! She just lights up my day with her smile and sweet giggle! Just wanted to share some of her happiness with y'all!!

The picture of her in the sombrero was taken at Alfredo's Mexican Restaurant during Emercyn's and my birthday celebration. She loves hats and wanted to join in on the fu!!!

Celebrating with family!!!

Jason and I woke Emercyn up the morning of her birthday to us singing "Happy Birthday" to her. She then got to open the presents we got her....a pink Barbie car and a pink digital camera. She was SO excited!!! She had been asking for those specific gifts for quite some time, so we knew she'd be thrilled to see them!! She then got her requested birthday breakfast....blueberry muffins!

Her Gramma and Grandad weren't able to come to her birthday party, so they came up and took her to McDonald's for lunch. She had so much fun!!!! Thanks Gramma and Grandad for doing that for her!

That night we took her to Alfredo's Mexican Restaurant for supper. We celebrated her birthday as well as my birthday (our's are 2 days apart)! They put sombreros on us and sang "Feliz Navidad"! It was great fun!!!

Birthday Party.....at school!!!

Harper and I brought cupcakes to Emercyn's school for a birthday party with her friends! Her teacher made her a birthday hat to wear all day. She loved that! Her friends also each colored her a coloring page of a birthday cake, and her teacher made it into a book. So cute!! The kids also sang "Happy Birthday" to her! :)

A Pinkariffic, Pinktastic, PINKALICOUS Birthday Party!

Emercyn LOVES the book "Pinkalicious" by Victoria Kann. And she LOVES the color pink! So when she asked if her birthday party could be Pinkalicious themed, I was thrilled....because you all know I LOVE pink too!! :) I absolutely love planning parties, and in fact, I start the party planning process 3 months ahead of time! Yes, that means I started planning in JUNE! I'm glad I did, because finding Pinkalicious party decor was not as easy as I thought it would be! But we found it! And it turned out PERFECT! We had story time with the book (while the kids snacked on green popcorn....read the book to see why they ate green food!!!), craft time where the kids each decorated a tiara and gold wand (Pinkalicious has these in the book), AND they each got their face painted by the most amazing artist! Her work is phenomenal! Emercyn has such a great time at her party! She thanked me several times that day for giving her the "perfect party"!! :) :) :)

Happy 4th Birthday Miss E!!

Emercyn turned FOUR! I can't believe it! My baby's not a baby anymore!! It's so crazy to me that four years ago I was giving birth to an 8lb 15oz and 20 inch baby girl....with lots of black hair, dark blue eyes, and beautiful golden skin! She was a GORGEOUS baby! And she has become a GORGEOUS young lady! I'm so proud of my punkin! She is everything I dreamed my little girl would be. She's smart, outgoing, funny, happy, tender-hearted, kind, generous, silly, loving....and the best big sister to Harper I could ever have dreamed! I love her so much and am so thankful God chose me to be her mother!!! Happy Birthday Miss E!! Mommy, Daddy, and Harper love you more than words can say!

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!
