I'm excited these dresses from last year still fit...think they both look a little older, huh?

Gymnastics

EK loves her gymnastics class! This was our last one for a bit so we can enjoy our Wednesday mornings while it's nice outside! Thought I would document her time!
The trampoline is her favorite part and unfortunately that is first and I'm usually late so that stinks!


The group sits and does popcorn! She loves this!


Back roll!


Front roll


Molly always wants to be a part!


Stations!


The rope swing


Sweet girl!


The bar


Stamps and stickers at the end!

We had such a fun afternoon swimming at the YMCA.


Looking cute in her bather.


So proud that she can jump off the side!








Happy daylight savings!

daddy daughter date night

For valentine's Blake had a card for Emery Kate inviting her on a date. She said yes :)

She has been really excited about it. Mary Beth said that while Blake was working outside before they left EK was singing "we're going on a date."

She got all dolled up and even Blake put on a sport coat for her. They were a pretty handsome little couple.

They went to chick fila and the pet store. She came home and told me she had "such a fun date!"

Blake said that when they were eating she raised her fist in the air and said "this is the greatest date ever!"

She is blessed to have a dad that loves her so much and I am so thankful for that too :)

it reminds me of dates with my dad. Such special memories!

EK

my sweet Emery Kate

i wanted to write a post specifically about you b/c I feel like lately it has been a lot about Molly and everything else going on and not much focused on you and your fun personality right now!

you are SO much fun right now. I mean you make your daddy and I laugh & smile all the time!

These pictures are from last Sunday when daddy was playing guitar. You brought your guitar and his guitar stool and put it by your chair so your feet wouldn't be dangling. You even had me put the words to the song in the chair so you could see it...I mean the cutest thing!

you and your dad have a special bond. He puts you to bed every night and you tell him what you are thankful for and you ask him what he is thankful for. Sometimes he even plays music for you on the guitar until you fall asleep. You have him wrapped around your finger.

The other night I wasn't feeling well and had a headache. We were giving you and Molly a bath and I told you I didn't feel well. You immediately said, "you want Daddy to pray for you?"

I love that that was your first instinct.

The other day we were walking into the Loft and you were singing "Jesus loves me" really loud. My first thought was to tell you to be quiet since we were in a store but then I stopped and was like, no, I want others to hear this precious girl singing of Jesus' love for her. from the mouth of babes...

We love how you get excited about the little things and the big things and if we recall a fun memory you immediately say "I want to do that again." Just the way you say it melts us!

The other day too you were trying to keep Molly up in the car for me and kept saying "wake up Babe"...hilarious.

I love how if I try something on in the store you will say "that's so cute, mom!"...makes me feel like i need to buy it :)

Please always call white "wipe", fuddruckers "mudcrackers" and bandaids "band-Ann's"

but maybe learn to count instead of always saying "1,2,4,9" :)

i love you so much Emery Kate!
