Mother Daughter Tea

On May 4th Emma and I went to our first Mother Daughter Tea. Both the Grandma's were able to come too. It was a nice afternoon...except for Emma had pink eye. Poor girl, it's all better now. Thank goodness. Here's a photo mom took for me of Emma & I after the Tea.

Easter

Easter's been over a month ago already but I'm trying to play catch up with the blog... its been busy lately. Here's a few photos of the girls having an Easter Egg hunt at Grandma & Grandpa Briggs' house. They sure did have a good time. They found fun things like stickers, change and candy in their eggs. They sure have grown a lot since last Easter.

St Louis Getaway

Mike and I got to spend the Friday and Saturday before Easter in St. Louis. Mike received the trip from the seed rep at his work. It was very nice. We stayed at the Hilton and got to go to the Cardinals game. We tried to go up in the Arch, because I've never been, but the wait was about 3 hours. We had a great time!

Last week

Last week was a little crazy, Emma was sick but is getting better. Those nasty colds are really making their rounds. It always breaks my heart when she's not feeling well. Here's a photo of her on her tricycle and a couple of her with the boys from this weekend.

Emma on the carousel

We had a good afternoon today with Grandma and Grandpa Briggs. We went to the mall in Springfield and Emma went on her first carousel ride. She was so excited about it. When we were buying the ticket she had pretty much wormed her way out of the stroller before I could unbuckle her. She just couldn't wait to ride on it. She was all smiles the whole time. She thought it was so fun, in fact she wanted to ride it a second time. As we walked away she was yelling horsey, horsey!

Bubbles & Hercules

Here's a photo of Bubbles & Hercules... two of our pets.

This is Bubbles one of Emma's "she-shes" aka fishies.

Grandma Cook got the fish for her before they left for Arizona.

This is one of our Great Danes, Hercules, we usually call him Herc-e. We finally got Emma to start saying his name. She has been calling both of them Harley.

I'll try to post some photos of Nemo & Harley soon... stay tuned.

Daddy's Little Helper

Here's Emma helping Daddy touch up some paint on the living room wall. What a good little helper!
