All is Well!

We had Emma's 2 year appointment with Dr.Aicardi. Everything is looking good - no shots this time. Emma is 31.5lbs and 34 inches tall. Dr.Aicardi says, "she's perfect!"

Happy 2nd Birthday, Emma Grace!!!

Happy birthday, sweet Emma Grace! This has been the fastest 2 years ever! Thank you for being such a sweet girl. You have such a fun personality. You are full of spunk and we all are so blessed to have you in our lives. Thanks for being my baby girl! We love you soooooo much! We had a fun morning with pancakes and balloons. Then we took Caden to Tiny Giants and after that, Emma and Mama went to her swimming class. We also played outside in the sunshine for a bit before it was time to get Caden from school. After lunch, Emma and Caden enjoyed a birthday cupcake! Such a great day! Happy Birthday my little love!

Play Dough

We had a great time making play dough and then playing with it after naps! It is the easiest recipe ever!

Emma loves making lots of shapes with the cookie cutters

Caden told me he made a "pattern" of butterflies

Birthday Celebration

We celebrated Emma's birthday on Sunday because Dada had to travel all week - his first time ever being gone Monday through Friday! So here is Emma opening presents in her Pj's.



Just being cute!

Fun at the Park

We had a wonderful afternoon down at the little park by our house. The weather was warm, the sun was shining, and I had two happy kiddos! Enjoy our afternoon adventure!

The only tears - Emma found a grape on the gound and ate it - YUCK! She was upset I made her take it our of her mouth!

Don't worry - big brother Caden to the rescue!

Lots of loves!

All better :)

Little Artist!

This girl LOVES to paint!

Making Valentines

We had a fun evening after dinner making Valentine's Day Cards! The kids did them all by themselves - peeled the backs off the stickers, and put them on the cards! I love Oriental Trading for this kind of stuff!

"You're Dino-mite!"

Just right!

Peeling the back off the stickers

Almost done

Admiring his work!

First time in the snow!

We had a great weekend up at Northstar, in Lake Tahoe. Dada had his work off-site up there on Wednesday. We joined him on Friday for some "snow time!" The kids loved it! Caden got on skis (between Dada's legs) and Emma and I had fun playing in the snow and down at the village. We also loved riding the Gondola up and down the mountain - even made a few round-trips, just for fun! There are also some short clips of the kids skiing! Cheers to a great family fun weekend!

Caden boy!

Emma girl!

Look closely - its Caden's snow angel
