Emberlyn Turns TWO!

Our Emberlyn Jade is TWO! Her birthday was on Saturday, and it was extra exciting because my mom was in town to celebrate! We had a party for her with all of her friends. And it was so much fun. We got her cake from Sugar Plum bakery and it turned out so cute. She blew bubbles outside, ran around with her friends, smashed her hands into her cake, and opened lots of fun presents! I can't believe we celebrated yet another year with our princess. She is getting so big, so fast. We love you so much Emberlyn! We can't wait to see what this next year will bring...

Look at you! You just turned TWO!!!



She was keeping really neat and using her fork and asking for a napkin. But then she really got into it...


Here she is pushing her new stroller. She finds the smallest dolls and animals to put in here. She doesn't like the full-size babies in there for some reason. I think it's because the smaller ones are easier to get in and out. Smart girl!

BIRTHDAY

EMBERLYN

It's our Chubby Cheekers!

Brenner is getting nice and plump these days! Oh his cheeks are just too cute for words.








Here's Brenner and his cute pacifier attached to a little monkey. Thanks Mom, it's so cute!

Princess Emmy

Emmy loves to play dress-up! At first it was just jewelery. Everytime she goes into her room she says, "jewelery box." So, I take her jewelery box off of her dresser and she opens it up and plays with all of her bracelets. But now, thanks to a few friends, she has fun outfits to dress-up in! Her favorite, of course, is Princess Ariel, so we dressed her up as The Little Mermaid, and she wore it all day!





And of course... Prince Brenner

Nearly 2!

Emberlyn's 2nd birthday is coming up! I've been asking her all month what she wants for her birthday. Of course she has no idea what this means. She says new words and phrases everyday. She says, "not working" when she can't get one of her toys to turn on. She can count to ten. She says "sad" when she's upset about something. She asks me, "what's wrong?" She is a very concerned little girl. And I could go on and on. I need to start making a list of all the silly things she comes up with.

She also has quite the manners. Her most famous phrase: "Thank you Mom!" She also says: please, sorry, and excuse me. We were walking in Target the other day, and she kept saying "excuse me" everytime we walked by someone. She's a silly girl. She's also catching on to the nicknames that I use. I call Emmy "Miss" all the time. So, now when she has friends over, she'll call them Miss. "Hi Miss!" is her famous greeting. She's been calling Daddy "honey" because this is what I call him. She's even called him "Wade" a few times, which we totally got a kick out of. She's growing up these days! I still remember when she was Brenner-sized. It goes by too quickly. Love you Miss Emmy! We can't wait to celebrate you turning the number 2!
