Memorial Day Weekend 2011


We tried a neat restaurant in the Crown Center Friday night. Fritz's received a "YAY" from Emry. Here she is proudly wearing her complimentary conductors hat. She LOVED how the little train car delivered the food. We WILL be repeat diners. :)


Ready to hit the road!


We headed to Iowa for the day to help celebrate Allison's 2nd birthday. Emry was intrigued by their princess car. :)



On top of her dental hygiene!


At the splash park in Zona Rosa. Our peanut is growing up so fast!

Chuck E Cheese

We went to Avery's 4th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's this afternoon. Emry quickly learned how to put tokens in the machines and LOVED riding on the pretend vehicles. We accidentally took home quite a few extra tokens so I guess we'll just have to go back. :)

Marvelous Mother's Day

No pictures from this day. I know what you're thinking...slacker...and yes, I wasn't on my "A" game with photos. Just use your imagination to picture our activities for the day.

I had a wonderful 2011 Mother's Day. We began the morning with a delicious breakfast at Corner Cafe. Then we headed to church and Emry actually did okay in the nursery...the first in a LONG time. She held on even though it was well past the beginning of her first nap. After church, we came home, put Emry down for a nap and I headed to Grass Pad to pick out my flowers. We spent the remainder of the afternoon/evening doing yard work and planting flowers. Our front bushes are trimmed, backyard landscape has been redone, and all flowers are planted...that makes mamma happy! Spending time with my two favorite people and being outside made this day absolutely perfect! More importantly, I'm so thankful that I'm a mother to such a special little girl. My love for Emry is constantly growing and I feel so blessed that God placed her in our lives.

Water Baby

We had our first of three "Water Babies" class this morning. We have a neighborhood pool and go to the lakes in MN a few times during the summer so we feel it's important that Emry get reacquainted with the water and feel comfortable in it. She didn't love the water but did okay. She HATED when she went under water. She'll learn to hold her breath soon enough. Here are a few shots of our peanut.

Growing Like a Weed

I took this pic at a birthday party this past Sunday. She looks so grown up and is really starting to thin out and lose her "baby" look. My little girl isn't so little anymore.

Visit from Grandpa Jeff

My dad came down from Minnesota to visit with us this past weekend. Our time together passed quickly but we made the most of it. Emry loved spending time with her Grandpa Jeff ("Reff"). Here is a picture of them testing out a double rocking chair at Cracker Barrel. We love you! Come back soon.
