Emme's 4th Birthday

By Kerry -
It was a really hot day to have a birthday party, but that didn't stop us from having a ton of fun. Emme had a Thomas the Train birthday party this year even though she's never seen it on tv and we've never read the books. I think she's been overly influenced by a boy named Colby at school. Nevertheless, we went with the train theme and had a great pinata and cake.



Though it was a bit windy, and we had a hard time lighting the candles. Good thing Daddy was around with a blow torch. You know, you just never know when you're going to need the heavy stuff!


The day was made that much more fun because Miss Neal, Emme's teacher, was able to come, and Aunt Minnie was in town as well.


Emme loved jumping in the jump house we had. We let her stay up late and she jumped all. night. long.!








It was such a great day of celebration! It might also have been the last day the girls wanted to dress alike... we shall see.

I just know it!!! Emerson was triple-dog-dared by some older 18 month old punk who told her that "everyone was doing it" and she'd be cool if she did it also. That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
