In case you were wondering...

When you step on an ant, they go to ant heaven

The skin of peaches, apples, etc are the "bun"

No Fank you = no thank you

baby chicks go to heaven when you are eating hard boiled eggs

If you wear shorts you are not a princess therefore you must always wear a dress

We love you Miss C

Corley family send off

We spent the day with friends as we wished the Corley family well on their year long sabbatical to Madrid, Spain.

The morning began with a trip to Build A Bear where all the girls made animals and placed 4 hearts in each one to represent each of their hearts. What a cute idea !! The girls and the Mamas headed to Paradise for lunch afterward.

Mama friends !

We spent the afternoon and evening swimming, eating and being goofy (see below)

Trying out the new fans that Jen brought us from Madrid. We were trying really hard to be serious ...

The itty bitties taking a break after a long evening.

We ended the day with sparklers. We will miss you Corleys. Have a great year abroad.

Happy Birthday to you Emma

Emma woke up on her special day and got to open gifts from us. This was the American girl outfit that Caitlyn picked out for Em. Love the rocken bed head they both have.

After some good ol play time with new toys, we headed to Emma's favorite...In and Out for a yummy burger.

After a fun lunch with family we cooled off at the splash pad.

Dear Emma,

You are a true gift to our family. I am so blessed to be your Mom. You have the biggest heart and make us smile when you tease us. We are so proud of who you are becoming. Love to you, our beautiful daughter.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

Emma's 6th birthday pool party

We had a fabulous time celebrating Miss Em's 6th birthday at the Lifetime fitness pool. We swam with friends and family, zipped down the water slides and ate pizza and cake.

Emma, Sydney and Tori

Emma requested a Hello Kitty theme.

Here was our attempt at a group photo.

After our pool party we came home to open wonderful gifts from friends. Nana and Papa let her open her gift from them as well. This was by far her favorite bday present- her new American Girl doll she named Clora.
