Christmas pics

I know we have to get our Christmas cards out first since we moved since last year. Our friend George was so nice to come by and take our pictures. We are so happy to be able to show off our newest Burton--Elly!

Sweet Playtimes

Is there anything better than the Jacksons coming to visit?

Halloween

What a wild party. Emmy wanted to be a zombie bride so I was the zombie mother of the bride. When we went to make smores, one of Emmys friends mom told me to be careful with all the hairspray I was wearing. I told her there wasn't a bit of spray in this hair--my hair lives for these events!!

 

We also went to Idlewild Presbyterian for their party. This time she was Frankiestein from Monster High. Always fun with our sweet friends!

Brownies

Emmy moved up to a Brownie this year from her Daisy Scout troop. (And lost possibly the world's worst troop leader, her mom.)

Emma from Jessie

Because we aren't fabulous parents, we rely on other fabulous parents to take our girl to the fair to meet characters from her favorite show. 

Reading

I can't hack it. I finally handed over the reading rights to Daddy. She does better with her reading glasses. The purple ones from Dollar Tree that I popped out the lenses. 

August fun!

Rose went with us to a birthday party then we headed by Crowlord practice to see daddy rock. Then of course, we ran through the sprinklers.

Second Grade

Second grade is not for wimps! I hope we are ready!

Beach--Panama City Beach

Another fabulous beach trip this year! We are so lucky to have the Salinases for travel buddies!

Home sweet home

We moved into our new home in July. We are so happy to be here, for so many reasons--not the least of which having more than one bathroom!--and we realize how lucky we are to be here. New house--new rules: Emmy is sleeping in her own bed!

But this makes me really sad. We kept up with everyone's height on the door jam in the kitchen. I think leaving it was the saddest part of the move. Not only leaving it, but how dirty the doorframe is. 

The sweetest part of the new house is the back yard. Emmy swears she is getting married here and she and John practice their parts.
