Emma is 3!!!

Our sweet little goddaughter, Emma turned 3 yesterday!!! We celebrated her birthday

on Saturday w/ a little swim party. Emma's favorite thing to do is swim and she could do it all day long!!! She is such a little fish and has no fear of the water, AT ALL! She keeps a little safety vest on and just jumps right in to the deep end and thinks nothing of it! Chelsea stayed with us this weekend so Lindsay was kind enough to invite her along and she had a BLAST! Emma LOVES the princesses and not just because their pretty. She genuinly LOVES every princess movie and will watch it in its entirety! Aleigh loved the princesses, but has never sat through an entire princess movie. Animated movies don't seem to keep her attention that well. She must be too much like her mom.

Believe it or not, I actually put a bathing suit on and got in the water with the kids! I quickly realized how important it was to get over my insecurities when I my little Aleigh cheered for me just for getting in the water w/ her. It made the kids very happy! Ansley LOVED the water and kicked her legs like crazy! My mom got a ton of pictures of us all in the water, I need to get those from her so I can post some!

We were happy to be able to spend Emma's last birthday in Georgia with her! When AJ turned 7 we went to Chili's for dinner and Emma had a princess cup with her. Well, Joe looked at her princess cup, grabbed a pen and a napkin and drew cinderella for Emma. Emma thought that was the greatest thing ever and carried it around proudly for a few days. When Lindsay told me this I shared it w/ Joe and that was when he decided he needed to draw and frame her a picture of Cinderella to hang in her room in El Paso so that she can think of her Nino (godfather) back here in Georgia! Well, the gift was very appreciated and even caused some tears for Lindsay. Joe was appreciative at such a sentimental reaction. We also gave Emma her first Dress up dress (Cinderella). Can you tell Cinderella is her favorite! She is such a cute little sweetie pie! We sure are going to miss watching her grow! Hopefully they will blog and we can at least watch her grow in pictures! The nice thing is, we will be able to see her and Adam and Lindsay during our annual trip to El Paso!
