WDW Autographs

I tried to think of something the kids could take to Walt Disney World to get autographs on that would not end of in drawer never to be looked at again once we were back. I decided on two 5X7 picture mats, which ended up working great because they fit in my purse and were not heavy. I finally got all the Disney pictures developed and Emory and Cason each picked out a picture from WDW to go in their frame. 

They both love them!

5 1/2 Years Old

Emory Grace you turned 5 1/2 years old yesterday!

 You have a big personality! You are loving, silly, determined, loud, tender, creative, a little bossy at times, and full of adventure. You love the outdoors, singing, coloring, creating, and playing with Cason.

 You are wearing a size 5 in clothes and a size 11 shoe. You have lost your 4 bottom teeth and currently have two big girl teeth and two holes. You are an excellent eater and some of your favorite foods are green beans, stick together mac-n-cheese (homemade), and apple pie.

You love to learn new things and you are very curious. You also have quite the memory, which amazed Mrs. Duke this past year at school. You remember everything! You are very excited about going to Kindergarten next month and getting your very own desk! 

Cupcakes

We made cupcakes today!

There was no special occasion, other then I had a box of yellow cake mix that needed to get used and I thought the kids would enjoy decorating them. They each got to pick an icing color. Cason picked green and Emory purple. Then they went to town making the cupcakes beautiful!

A few of their creations.

 After all the cupcakes were decorated it was time to eat!

Yummy yummy icing!

Cason decided to turn his icing upside down and get down to business. The little end was taking too long!



Drawings

This came in the mail a few weeks after returning from our Disney World vacation.

 Just another example of what makes Disney World so special and in a class all its own!

 

Emory drew the picture below a few weeks ago as well. I asked her if that was her and Cason playing and she says, "No silly, that's Zaccheus watching Jesus in the tree!"

Zaccheus has become one of her favorite Bible stories, although I think David and Goliath is still holding at number 1!

Catch up

I am a little behind in posting. What can I say Disney World wore me out!

We have been very busy around here since returning from vacation.

Emory lost her 4th baby tooth on June 20th and now has two new big girl teeth and two holes across the bottom! She's thrilled.

A few weeks ago we went to Alpie's house for a visit. I was able to take a few pictures of the kids.

 Madison and Emory

 Cason of course was not looking, but Miss Priss was posing!

 Another failed attempt.

 Maddie DID NOT want to take a picture.



 Cason sitting in Pawpaw's old lift chair.

 Cason loves to pretend that his lego's are rocks and uses his dump trucks and tractors to move them around.

 I found him like this one morning.

Last night Emory made hotdogs with her playdough and Cason made cookies.



 Then had a MAJOR playdough food fight while I was cooking dinner, which resulted in both of them getting in MAJOR trouble.

Next week Emory will be 5.5 years old and I decided she was ready for my American Girl Samantha doll. So this morning I got Samantha cleaned up and gave her to Emory. She was super excited because she has been waiting for this day for some time now.
