Easter 2013

Now that I have the summer off, I am trying to catch up on blogging.

We had a great Easter! It was Emma's first Easter and it was extra special because our family came to us! I didn't take many pictures because it is hard to be hostess, mommy, and photographer!

The Easter Bunny was good to my children. There may have been a grandma Easter Bunny involved too and possibly a great-grandma Easter bunny!

Nana Pam and Papa D came too!

I forgot to take pictures before church. That is actually a lie. I'm sure that we were just running late and I didn't have time.

Sleeping baby pictures probably didn't happen on Easter, but aren't they sweet?

 I am loving that I can dress my girls in matching clothes from Carter's! Presley loves matching Emma and gets upset if I put an outfit on Emma that Presley can match if she isn't wearing the same one! Carter's only carries up to size 6, so I won't be able to do it long.

Princess Prom Date

It isn't everyday that a guy gets to go to prom with a princess!

On April 13th Nick got to take the most beautiful date to the prom.  Presley was so proud to be his date!

She didn't get to stay at for the dancing because princesses have to get their beauty sleep!

Too Much

I'm sure that the bow is too much. I'm okay with that.

Happy Mother's Day!

We had a great weekend, and hope you did too! We got to spend time with family Friday, Saturday, and today. Presley played her first softball game and they won! Tonight Emma is sleeping in her crib for the first time! My mom got me a video monitor for Mother's Day. Nick has told me to buy one for forever, but I was putting it off because it's kinda nice to have her by my side. She still wakes twice a night, so I'm hoping that she might sleep better. Someday I will get on my computer and post some pics from my good camera, but not today!

Love to Play

My girls love to play outside and love to snuggle in their (matching) pajamas!

7 Months!

Emma is 7 months old! I had to take her to the doctor Friday because she started running fever Thursday night. She has a sinus infection just like her big sister. We took Presley on Monday because she had fever Sunday. Emma weighed 17 lbs 3oz and she didn't even cry when they pricked her heel twice! She is feeling much better today!
Emma eats twice a day. She is eating #2 foods, and she has decided that peas aren't her thing. She loves the fruit and vegetable mixes like squash and apples, and she eats the ones with grains mixed in well. She lets us know when she is tired of eating by closing her eyes and mouth and turning away from the spoon with a fuss. Usually she will eat more if we offer her something different.
She is a terrible sleeper, but her daddy doesn't seem to mind. I wake up with her at least two times a night. The only time she takes long naps is if we are outside. She will nap in her stroller and her swing.
She loves her sister so much. It is fun to watch them interact. Emma gets So excited when Presley comes in the room, and she loves to take baths with her big sis!

Emma Giggles

I think that this video was taken when Emma was about 5 months old. I'm too lazy to hook up my external hard drive to check. Just keeping it real.

Please notice how many times Presley tells me the same thing in 30 seconds.  Wears. Me. Out. Presley has started to not even give me time to process what she has just asked me before she repeats what just came out of her mouth.  I don't know why, but this so exhausting to me!

Today I went to get Presley and her teacher, Miss Beth, told me that Presley was just telling two boys that were fighting that everyone makes mistakes and Jesus and God were the only ones that are perfect. My little peacemaker.
