Emmett's 6th Birthday

Emmett turned 6 back in April and I can't believe I haven't posted about it yet.  

Chocolate chip pancakes first thing at 6 A.M....


We waited until Daddy got home in the afternoon to open presents...


Then later had cake (with the neighbor from next door)...


Rollerblades were a favorite present.  Thanks, Nana and Papa Swoop!


Then for the first time in two years, we got to have a  party with friends!!!  We are just now starting to get a good group of friends going since moving from Oregon and then renting across town for a year.  This party was really special to E and to me.  I am very thankful for these friends!


We had a joint party with another little boy who had a birthday close to Emmett's.  He was happier than he looks here... I think he was overwhelmed with everyone singing and looking at him.  :)


Obviously we were at a skating rink.  It was nice because school was still in session and we went in the morning so there was no one else there.


E with good friend from the neighborhood and our CC group...


We sure do love our Emmett!!  He is very loving and affectionate, super smart, knows facts about almost any animal you could name (thanks to his favorite show, Wild Kratts), has a great sense of humor, is very animated when he tells stories or asks for something, loves sweets and macaroni and cheese, loves Legos and swimming and rollerblading, and is his Mommy's little clone (temper included, which makes us oil and water sometimes).  He's our precious, precious E-Dogg!


May Highlights

Jackson and Emmett are at VBS this week and Reid is playing across the street so I only have Davis and have some time to post some highlights from May.  :)

Mother's Day pic of my precious blessings...


Loving on Daddy every second when he's home...


We made it through soccer!  It was crazy Africa hot by the end.  Forgot to take a pic of J.  :(


J had his first piano recital and did great!


I don't cook too much when Phil is gone...


 Reid being sweet...


Making slime from our science kits (thanks, Mom!)...


Beach evening...


 Linebacker taking a break at the pool...


Breaking into his geodes from his birthday...


Playing in the leak from the busted hose...


More beach...


Begging Daddy for a dog via picture texts...


Big boy on his bike...


First tomatoes from our garden (so good and sweet I ate them right after this pic)...


The beach is not fun when you are teething and scared of waves...

 

Memorial Day weekend at my parents'...  J getting some horseback riding lessons...


Lots and lots and lots of swimming...

 

Best buds...


Also best buds... Although for the first day we were there he kept calling her "Avery" because he plays with a little blonde Avery across the street from us almost every day.  :)


Tried this for about 30 minutes one night.  It did not work so back to the crib he went.  You can see how Reid felt about it.  Lol.
