Emily's 1st Birthday Party!

 I'm 1!!

 I had to put this one on here too; Emily absolutely loves Sarah and always laughs and smiles at her!

 We made Emily's cake, and we really liked how it turned out.  

 I did a picture for each of the first twelve months of Emily's life.  We decided she really didn't change too much; just that hair kept growing!

 Decorations!

 Emily and her BFF!

 Rusty, Emery and PaPa

 Grant and Rusty

 MaMa, Addison, Sarah, and PaPa

 Little one opening her gifts...

 Sarah had so much fun playing with Camryn!  We were super glad they came to visit!

 Watching us sing "Happy Birthday" to her

 Her reaction as we were singing to her!

 First reaction to the icing...

 Then, she decided it wasn't that bad...

 Then the fun began...

 Emery wanted to try some of the cake too...

 Wow!  This stuff is good! 

 The end result!  Emily had a blast with her birthday cake!

 Emily really likes her new remote control from MeMe and PaPa!

 Silly Emery kept getting busted trying to climb up the stairs!

 Cousins!

Happy girl!

Happy 1st Birthday Emily Kate!

Emily a year ago...

Sweet Emily is 1 year old today!! We can't believe it has already been a year!  We love you little girl!

Cruising around the furniture like a big girl

Sarah thought they both could fit in the chair, but Emily wasn't so sure.

Giving each other love

Dress up time!

Our beautiful almost three year old!

Gulf Shores, Alabama!

 Last week, we took a family trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama.  It was beautiful, and everyone had loads of fun!  Sarah tells us her favorite part was making sand castles with her cousins.  She did go in the ocean this trip but with caution!  Emily enjoyed playing in the sand too as long as Mommy or Daddy were close by...

 These girls had so much fun together all week!

 The best I could do!

 It was pretty much impossible to get a picture with everyone looking at the same time and smiling!

 MeMe brought stuff for the girls to paint treasure chests, then they were "stolen" and the girls had to follow the clues to find them and dig them up.  They had a lot of fun doing this!

 Checking out their loot in the treasure chests

 Sweet Emery...such a trooper!

 Sweet Emily...still working on it

 On the day we arrived, we rode the ferry.  Sarah enjoyed it, but she was confused because she thought the fairy was a person...

 While there, we went to the zoo!

 Back home, Emily is getting into EVERYTHING!

Sweet Sarah!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!  We love you!

 I made homemade cupcakes for Rusty's birthday, and Sarah helped me ice them.  She did a great job, and she said Daddy had a wonderful birthday party!

 Trying out the crazy coup

 Sweet Sarah

 Playtime!  Sarah told me she made a fort for the girls to play in...
