Memorial Day Cupcake


She might not have totally demolished her birthday cake, but Miss Sara Grace really put a hurtin' on her Memorial Day cupcake. She very delicately picked at the icing until Mommy picked it up and offered it to her. All of a sudden...wham...that cupcake made full contact with all eight of the baby teeth she has! It was a sight to behold!

Growing Up Girls

Emma has now graduated to her big girl bed, which means her crib doesn't have the front on it anymore. I know she was ready for this months ago, but Mommy wasn't! I'm sure you've noticed that the bumper is still on her bed. Well...she has used it as a pillow forever and I just couldn't take it away from her. I know we will have to because it is looking pretty beat up in places. She has her own pillow but I would guess her head only stays on it for a little while. We have a feeling she sleeps like her Mama...which means all over the place!
Our little Sara is really growing up too! She can put her fork in her mouth by herself! Mommy or Daddy has to put the food on it for her, but she can take care of the rest...and boy, does she!
Emma has really started to enjoy her new sandbox and all its various accessories. She loves watching the sand fall through this little sand windmill-kinda-thing.

More Birthday Weekend!

The girls really enjoyed their birthday cake. Emma had a slice of the big "choc-it cake" and Sara got her own white smash cake. We had high hopes of Sara really tearing into that poor little cake...but it never happened. The poor thing got icing in her eyes and had to be taken away from her own birthday party for an impromptu bath. Strange angle, I know. This was the scene on Sunday morning as our family left church. We had the girls dedicated during the morning service. It was so wonderful because we had practically all our family members present. (We missed you Unca Brandon and Aunt Lolly) From the back of the pic to the front we have great grandfather Papa, Aunt Beth, Grana, Emma, Grandaddy, Grandpa, Paw Paw, Maw Maw, Sara, Daddy and Grandma. Mommy and great grandmother Mom were all together behind this group so they weren't in the picture.

Happy Birthday Girls!


Happy Birthday Emma and Sara!

Notes on how to decifer Emma-ese

Emma is reading the Wheels on the Bus in this video. I picked up my camera and started filming it after she had already read a little bit of the book. She didn't know I was taking her picture, or she would have stopped...like she does a thousand times a day when I try to capture something cute! Anyway...here is the transcript of her reading.
The baby on the bus goes wah, wah, wah all around the town.
The people on the bus go up and down all around the town.
The people on the bus go shh, shh, shh all around the town.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep all around the town.
The people on the bus go up and down all around the town.

That's approximately what she is saying. I know it's hard to hear her among the baby sounds Sara is making and the clock that starts chiming. It's better than nothing! Hope you understand it!

Here it is! And again...I don't know why there are two of them!

About the Video

I'm excited that we have put up our first video post! Don't ask me why there are two of the some videos on the blog. I have no idea why it happened, how it happened or how to fix it. I welcome any and all suggestions! I have another video that I am trying to upload now. I'm doing to same thing I did yesterday but no success...yet.
