Fireworks

While we were visiting Grandma and Pawpaw Bradley went fireworks shopping so last night we went over to Mimi and Peepaw's for a mini fireworks show.

Cason ready to see the fireworks!

Emory was a cowgirl yesterday and insisted on wearing her cowgirl hat to keep her ears warm and cover her hair so it would not catch fire. She is always thinking up something! 

Emory wanted to shoot the roman candle like firework. 

Pretty!

Cason finally decided to hold a sparkler but only for about 30 seconds. It's progress! 

Emory liked this one because it changed colors! 

Emory dancing with a big sparkler!

The kids had a great time and both enjoyed the fireworks! 

Trip to Mom & Dad's

We mainly just hung out around the house while at my parents, but we did do a little shopping and played with a few sparklers too! I also enjoyed holding and loving on Miss Madison. She is so little and light compared to my two.

Cason cheesing in front of the fireplace.

Emory opening her present from Cameron, Blake, Noah & Madison. She got all kinds of cool stuff including a pair of pink boots and three pairs of dress up shoes!

 Noah opening his present from us!

Since we were at mom and dad's New Years Eve we decided to get a few sparklers, unfortunately it rained all evening so we were not able to light them until New Years day.

 Emory with one of the big sparklers. Cason would not hold a lit one, but had fun playing with an unlit one!

This was as close as he would get to the sparklers. I thought if I put them in the ground he would get a little closer, but no!

Happy 2013!

 

We had a good time at Grandma & Pawpaw's house!

 Now it is time to get ready for Emory Grace's birthday!

Madison Marie

Cameron and I attempted a photo shoot with Miss Maddie one night at Mom and Dad's.  Here are some of the better poses.

 

Sweet baby girl.

Madison Marie Bisbey 3 weeks old

 We used Emory's boa that she got for Christmas as a back drop. Madison was not a fan of the fluff!

Cousins

Emory, Cason and I headed to my parents on Saturday to meet Miss Madison for the first time and visit with Cameron and Noah since we did not get to see them at Christmas. Last night we gathered all the grandkids together and attempted to take their picture. It actually went fairly good considering the ages of those involved!

Emory wanted to hold the dog in this one and Cason was not in a mood to smile, but other than that it turned out pretty good!

 Emory Grace (almost 4), Noah James (10), Madison  Marie (3 weeks) & Cason Bradley (1 1/2)

Cason loving on Emory and Noah on Madison!

I had to include this picture because the 5th grandchild is in it. For those wondering that would be Dot!

21 Months

Cason Bradley you are 21 months old today!

You are still wearing a size 18 month, a size 6 shoe, and size 5 diaper. Your vocabulary has grown by leaps and bounds and you now know to many words to list. You have started stringing words together and making sentences. Some of your favorites are shoe on/off, sock on/off, no no sissy, and that's mine. You have also decided that you do not like to wear socks or shoes and usually always take them off within 30 seconds of putting you in your car seat.

You are an absolute delight. You have a very sweet loving personality, but are also very determined and strong willed. The other night you told me you wanted cheese and when I did not go and get it for you fast enough, you marched over to the fridge, opened the door and drawer and got it out yourself. Then proceeded to bring Bradley the bag of cheese and said "cheese dada cheese." You are also a little clown!

You love ducks, playing outside and with your sister. You have started showing an interest in cartoons and seem to like Wonder Pets and Dora or at least the song at the end of the show. You love to sing and dance. You are also very inquisitive and want to know what everything is. I can't believe you will be 2 in just a few short months, it seems like only yesterday you were my little baby and now you are a little boy. I love you Cason!

 

And They're Off

Emory was finally able to drive her Barbie jeep yesterday afternoon. It was cold outside so they were not able to ride long, but they still had a blast!

Christmas 2012

Christmas started off with a bang this year, literally. The storm hit us around 3:45 am with horrible lighting and thunder. Emory was in bed with us and wrapped up tight in my arms by 4:00 am. Thankfully we did not have any damage or lose electricity... oh and Santa was able to come too!

Santa left Emory a Barbie jeep, super hero cape, tennis racket with Dora tennis balls, movies, games, and lots of goodies in her stocking. Cason got a workbench, balls, flashlight, movies, construction site complete with remote control dump truck, as well as stocking goodies!

Emory seeing what Santa left her for the first time!

The kids checking out Cason's workbench!

The jeep was a huge hit!

 After checking out all their gifts from Santa it was time to open presents. We had a wonderful morning exchanging gifts and I got many great things from Bradley! After presents it was time to get things ready for lunch. I snapped these pictures before the table was completely set and then forgot to take anymore.

I finally found a Christmas china pattern that I liked last year and then found it on sale this fall.

Tina and Rachel got me these napkin rings this year for Christmas.

My grandmother, aunt, mom and dad all joined us for Christmas this year. I completely forgot to take any pictures before lunch but did manage to snap a few of the kids opening and playing with their presents from everyone.

Cason figured out the whole wrapping thing! He got a t-ball set and loved it!

My grandmother and aunt got Emory this new outfit and a Dot for her baby. As soon as she opened it she had to change her baby's clothes.

Emory playing with her gymnastic Dora in her princess dress.

Gymnastics's Dora is really pretty cool. She flips, does hand stands, and all sorts of other things. Emory has enjoyed playing with her. Thank you Grandma and Pawpaw!

Last night it snowed!

 It did not stick but we enjoyed watching it snow on Christmas.

Emory and I went outside and watched it snow for a few minutes. She really liked it!

I had to include this picture of Cason and all his ducks! I mentioned that Cason loves ducks and Aunt Shirley and Grandma came through with lots of rubber ducks!

 

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and I am very blessed and thankful for everything and everyone who shared it with us!
