a few pics of the girls at the reunion

I didn't have my camera out much but I took a few pictures of the girls while we were at the conlee reunion. I got a few really sweet ones.

molly and her Aunt CC

they loved playing with their cousin Ashton!

absolutely love this of EK

my sweet little family

attempt at family picture unsuccessful

just to compare these pictures were from the reunion last year of them...WOW they have grown!

Also, for those who don't know...we are expecting #3 now! We are so thankful and very excited!

sea world

We had a family reunion for blake's family near kerrville last weekend so we decided to make a two night stop in san antonio on the way. We stayed at the westin la cantera which is such a nice place and very kid friendly. We had so much fun swimming with the girls and we took them to sea world for their first time. It was a hit!

love this picture of them...shows their fun personalities!

the dolphins were the favorite part of Sea World

we spent a long time watching them...waiting for them to come near to us

love this little face

they had a very clever sea lion show that we watched

it was HOT

the sea lion show even had a huge walrus in it that did sit ups...craziness! Those things really are HUGE ( you really don't feel good about yourself if you say you feel like a walrus) !!!!

of course we watched Shamu (didn't get great pics of this)

byt the time we ate lunch and saw the penguins this girl was TIRED so we headed home! Hope to go back someday though! There was so much that we didn't even see!

Lastly, a couple pics from the pool. EK was not interested in giving me a good smile this trip so this is all I got. I do love them in their little bathers though!

silly sisters

Molly is 18 months!

Molly is 18 months old today! I cannot believe she is this old but I also can't imagine my life without her!  I have been the worst blogger lately but I had to post about this precious one!

She is so fun right now! She is talking up a storm. She is even saying a lot of phrases like "want a bite", "here you go", "this is cute", "uh-oh", "owey".  She is saying a lot of names and is such an expressive little thing. She loves her blanky. She loves Hank. She loves playing with her baby dolls. She loves the theme songs to all of EK's shows. She still loves "this little light of mine". Any letter she sees is a "b".  she loves veggies but won't eat fruit. She prefers almond milk. She can eat all my guacamole at Chipotle (which is a ton!).
She is a tiny little peanut. I'm hoping she's reached 20 lbs by her 18 month check up next week!

She does this when I sing "if you're happy and you know it then your face will surely show it!"

She likes to have tea parties with me!

chocolate!

melt me

i feel like this should be in the hanna anderson catalog :)

She definitely makes me smile all day long and I can't count the number of kisses I give her each day. Love every day with this precious nugget!!!

 We celebrated Emery Kate's third birthday a few weeks ago with a Princess party! It was a lot of kids and a lot of fun!

 The Favors were tutus & tiaras for the princesses

I found this awesome castle bounce house to rent... EK loved it before the party and after the party but was a little overwhelmed to jump in it during the party!

 Sweet Sparrow all dressed up

 Oscar staying away from the princess stuff and playing with the sand.

 Love that someone stashed their goldfish in the potted plant

 just a picture of what was going on inside during the party

 EK was really overwhelmed by the party and went off with her Bebe to read a book. My dad reminded me that this was how I was during my own parties too.

 babies were sleeping amid the chaos (this is sweet little Grant)

 even Felice took a little nap in EK's bed

 baby Andrew made the party too!

 best buds jumping

 Molly fell asleep during the party...look how exhausted she looks.

the birthday girl

 mom, hanj & I got in there after the party

 love that my sweet grandpa was there

 my parents got her her first bike!

 She had a lot of help opening her gifts!

I can't believe she is 3! Being Emery Kate's mom this past three years has brought more joy each day than I could have dreamed.

I love how sweet she is to Molly and the way she makes funny expressions about eveything. I love that she asks Blake to "tell me about something" every night. I love that she still loves her pacifer and I have no idea how to get rid of it. I love that she was the easiest thing every to potty train. I love that she asks to pray for me when I tell her that I don't feel well.  She loves chick fila, any and all of her cousins, stamps, stickers, lemonade, purses, poker chips, puzzles, bubbles, swinging, singing, curious george, roly poly's, matching molly, the zoo, i could go on and on...

You melt me with your smile, kisses & sweet little spirit.

I don't want you to get older but I do love that we are just going to get closer as you are able to communicate more and more clearly with me.

Happy (belated) 3rd Birthday Emery Kate! Love you, mom
