Happy Birthday Emery!

Little miss Em is 2 today. SO hard to believe! We had a little swim party for her Friday evening {thank goodness, the last two afternoons have been yucky!}...we have yet to bite the bullet and have big parties for the kids...maybe when they are 5/6?! I decided I would make her cake/cupcakes again this year...this might have been my last hurrah at that, it's too time consuming! However, they did turn out pretty cute! We stuck with a zebra theme, since Miss Em is on the sassy side!


Cake/cupcakes...

Friday morning, we got up really early and headed downtown to take Emery's 2 year pictures. She did really good, even if I did forget her shoes at home! :)





At 2, Emery is such a fun loving little girl. Our big task with her, is getting her to say, "please"! She can, but she acts like it pains her for those words to leave her mouth! We thought Trey was strong-willed, but Emery is giving him a run for his money. She definitely keeps us on our toes! She eats anything and almost everything! As soon as Trey sits his cup down, you can guarantee that she is right behind him finishing it off! Trey and Emery are really starting to communicate with each other and play together...SO fun to sit back and watch. She definitely keeps him in check though!




And to finish this post off, I'll leave you with one of my new favorites!
