Emalyn's 2 year pictures

It's hard to believe how fast she is growing up. If you had any doubts about her having her own attitude, surely these pictures will put those doubts to rest! But, what a blessing and delight she is. We did 2 year pictures along with Christmas pictures...hope you enjoy!

Pooh & Friends Live

A couple of weeks ago, my sister, Virginia, and I took Emalyn to see Pooh & Friends Live in Little Rock at Alltel Arena. This was her first big event...we haven't even been to a movie yet (don't worry...she's going to see Bolt in a couple of weeks).

At first, she was a little attached to me when the lights went down, but after some popcorn and a couple of songs, she had eyes only for Pooh.

She also made her first trip to Toys R Us...and threw a hissy for a slide...so, we left with a slide.

John didn't make the trip because he was in the deer woods...I'm sure he had as much fun as we did.

White Chocolate Mocha

Last Thursday, me and Emalyn meet up with Lisa and Kody at Books-a-Million for a few minutes to catch up and visit. My dad and my husband joined in the festivities, as well. We had a good visit and Aunt Lisa brought her camera to make sure she got some of my best parenting moments...

I admit white chocolate mochas are my very favorite thing right now. I don't have them often, so I enjoy them when I do endulge. My daughter had to have a taste of my coffee...and she decided it might be her favorite thing these days, too!

Hanging out at home

We stay pretty busy these days...Emalyn can't seem to sit still! Last week, she started driving and then moved on to mowing the front porch and the driveway! She's a quick learner!

One of her favorite places to have a snack is on the kitchen counter...yes, I give in sometimes! However, it looks as if she is eating a Twinkle...but no, it's a weightwatchers sponge cake...much better for her! Actually, if you try one, they are better than Twinkies...seriously.

Riding with the boys!

Em got a tricycle for her birthday and she loves it! She rode it in the house and in the garage...and then she seen the neighborhood boys out in the street with their bicycles and she had to join in! She is the only little girl in our neighborhood, but she hangs right in there with them! This was the actual day of her birthday, and the evidence on her face proves that I had hot pink icing on her cupcakes for school! I learned my lesson...only white icing from here on out!

Trick or Treatin' Ladybug

As you can see, our little ladybug had a great Halloween!
We started with a party at school, then went by and seen her Grammy at work at the hospital, then visited her Meme at Lenders Title (she racked up there!) and then on to home where it was trick or treating old school style!
She had her cousin Trenton ~ as an organic banana, and her buddy Tate ~ as BamBam, accompany her up and down our street. They got loads of candy - which they sampled along the way!
We finished the evening with a trip over to see Grandpa and Grammy...we were all beat!
