An Under the Weather Weekend

This past weekend we were all a little under the weather. Bradley and Emory both had colds and my sinus infection reared its ugly head again. So, needless to say we all were lazy all weekend.

I decided to try this little headband on Emory to see if it finally fit. I bought several of them before she was even born and they were suppose to be size newborn, but they just now fit her head. She has a very small head so that might be why. Anyway I am determined for her to wear bows again, and since she won't leave her little clip bows in her hair I thought I would try the headbands. She did not seem to mind it!

Here she is kissing Patches!

She loves to sit in this little rocking chair, just not always the right way.

Sitting on her baby's stroller. She thinks this is so funny to do.

And again.

We got Emory this little slide for her birthday and she loves it. She climbs right up and then slides down. Here she is at the top!

And at the bottom!

Aunt Cameron's

After Olivia's birthday party Emory and I headed to Cameron's house for a quick overnight visit. Noah was at his Dad's house for the weekend and Blake was also out-of-town so it was just the girls.

Sunday morning Emory woke up and watched cartoons. Her favorites are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Winnie the Pooh, but Handy Mandy was holding her interest this morning.

Eating a cereal bar and watching cartoons. She loves those things and ate 2 that morning!

Telling me hi and waiting for Aunt Cameron to wake up!

We were making goofy faces at each other. It's a little game we play and Emory thinks it is the funniest thing ever.

Olivia's 1st Birthday Party

Last weekend Emory and I headed north to Ft. Worth for Olivia's first birthday party. Tessa did a wonderful job with the party and it was great to visit with everyone and meet little Turner and Hudson for the first time! All the kiddos played really well together and Olivia had a wonderful first birthday party. Thank you Olivia for inviting us!

Olivia LOVED her birthday cupcake cake... especially the icing which she was covered in.

Olivia "cleaning up" after enjoying her cake. The wash rag did not do the trick and she ended up in the tub!

Yum yum!

Baby Turner fast asleep! He is so precious. I love how his little arms were crossed.

I thought this picture was funny. Emory is on one side of the door and Hudson on the other! Both were on the move!

Maggie showing Hudson how to ride Olivia's new rocking poodle! TOO CUTE!

Olivia was blowing kisses to everyone after getting cleaned up. So sweet!

Emory, Hudson, and Maggie checking out the dogs party hats!

Hudson and Emory looking outside at the tree I guess!

Our attempt at a group picture, which would have been really good if Emory would have been looking. Back to front: Maggie (2) Emory (1), Olivia (1) Turner (5 weeks) and Hudson (1). For those of you that do not know Hudson is the oldest (1/14/09), than Emory (1/15/09) and Olivia (1/20/09).... all within 6 days of each other!

Emory realizing she had apple juice and not water in her cup!

Olivia waiting patiently to open her presents. Her little dress was adorable with cupcakes smocking on the front.

Emory's First Week Being 1

On Monday Emory had her one year check-up and it made me a little sad when they weighed her on the "big kids" scale for the first time and not the "baby" scale. It was another reminder that she is 1 now and growing up. She weighed 18 pounds 6 ounces and was 29 inches long, so even though she is 1 she is still pint sized. She was in the 13th percentile in weight and 50th in height and as her doctor says, she is just petite. I really thought she was going to weigh closer to 20 pounds given the amount of food she has been consuming lately but I was wrong! She got a clean bill of health from her doctor and that is all I care about. She had to get 4 shots however which made her feel puny the rest of the day and caused her to run a slight fever. Then she woke up early Tuesday morning with a 102.2 fever and ran fever all day. She is also cutting a tooth right now(# 9) and is congested so between the shots, tooth, and nose she was not feeling well at all the beginning of the week.


Emory was helping me clean up by putting her Lego's back in the bag and decided to put her sippy cup in there as well.

She put the whole phone to her ear and said hello! She cracks me up!

Going for a ride on rocket ship! She loves this thing and goes everywhere on it!

Ready to go exploring in her wagon. I pulled her all over the place in this thing on Sunday! She loved it!

Getting reading to climb her little slide she got for her birthday!

I think someone is going to have curly hair like their mommy!

"Helping" take down her party decorations! I love this face!

Snuggling with Dot "aka blankie bear" while riding Patches the cow!

Emory's Cocoa & Cupcakes Party

Last Saturday we had a little birthday party for Emory and she had a blast! It was real simple and low key with just our family there. The theme was cocoa and cupcakes and everyone seemed to have a good time, especially Emory!

This was her little cake.

She was not too sure about it at first...

but once she tasted it.....

she was all smiles!

She was absolutely hysterical eating her cake. She clapped and giggled the whole time and definitely takes after her daddy when it comes to sweets!

Noah took home this green balloon and I made him pose for a picture!

Emory's birthday balloon bouquet for her high chair!

Another angle. We had several other balloon bouquets, I went a bit over board with the balloons!

The cupcake tree. I made these therefore they were not perfect, but they were all gone after the party!

Yummy cocoa

Emory loved the balloons! She carried them around all over the house!

Opening a gift. Wow it's a dog, she loves dogs!

Giving her new dog loves! So sweet!

Bringing me the wrapping paper while I am trying to take a picture of her. Anytime she finds something on the floor she has to bring it to me or Bradley. She gave me the small piece and kept the big piece for herself!

Noah and Emory posing with her new "all terrain" wagon. We had to get the big wheels so we can pull her around the farm! Emory is of course holding a balloon!

Wow, mommy look at my new big girl shoes! This gal loves shoes just like her mommy!

Sitting in her Elmo chair opening presents.

Her birthday hat! I am still trying to get a picture with her wearing it! ha!

Emory's cards!

I just want to thank everyone for coming and sharing Emory's first birthday with us. Thank you so much for all the lovely gifts and for the love, prayers, and support this first year!!
