Go Cards and Happy Birthday Matt Morris!

Go Cardinals!
Our friend Tarra decided to surprise her hubby for his
 birthday with a day at the ballpark and invited us along for the fun.
It was a BEAUTIFUL day to sit outside and enjoy baseball!

Maddie, Mason and Julia take a break from the game and do a little souvenir shopping and buy some eats!

Emerson

Easter 2013

Happy Easter!
Jeff's family came over for brunch on Easter morning.

Patrick puts Ry in a lock position...we could use Uncle Patrick around here more often to restrain our crazy boy!

Group pic!

After Em's nap, we headed to my parents for our second Easter celebration.
Em anxiously awaits to see what the bunny left at Glammie's house for her!

It's Em's first year to participate in the egg hunt.
About halfway through, she gets the hang of it!

Easter Egg Dying

Aunt Stacy is a Pinterest Queen, and she found a neat idea for dying Easter eggs online.

Her idea required us all to make silly faces.

Muuhhh!

Typical Ryan. =)

Gram getting crazy.

Papa posing for his egg pic.
Not sure how, but I don't have any pictures of the final results! EEK!
We printed the pictures out and mod-podged them on the eggs. 

Read and Run

Today the kids participated in the Read and Run event at their school.  They've read 26 books,  eaten 26 healthy snacks, and done 26 hours of exercise. In celebration, the crew all ran the last mile of their 26 together at the school.  Julia participated also, but I've gotten terrible lately with taking pictures!  

Princess Day

Aunt Stacy got great private box seat tickets through her work to Disney Princesses on Ice.
Guess who she called and invited to go? =)
Juls was beyond excited to get a special day with mommy and Aunt Stacy!

Julia's Skating Party.

Juls decided to celebrate 6 she wanted to have a skating party.
The day before said party, she was super duper sick.
(Have I mentioned what a nightmare February has been for our family!?)
She still didn't feel good on party day, but she could at least sit up
and was a trooper and made it to the party to see her
 friends and thank them for coming!

Em thinks the walkers are a pretty neat-o invention.

Uncle Mat and Coleman get their skates on!

She invited her entire kindergarten class + other friends.

While she wasn't interested in eating a cupcake,
I had her pose with one to at least blow out the candle.
She loves everyone singing to her! =)

Sugar -- yummo!

Reese, Maddie and Mason sit and enjoy a cupcake!

Julia, Hannah, Annie and Audrey.

Shawn, Josh and Mike.

Aunt Krista keeps Colin happy for a bit with some sugar. Nothing like a good bribe! =)

Em has always been a big daddy's girl. I think I know his secret now! =)

Present time!

I realize this isn't the most flattering pic of Emerson, but I'm posting it for her eyes.
This blog is our documentation of her progress, and helps me remember how she was doing on which dates--something her Drs are always asking me about.
You'll see here, something is still off.

Happy 6 to my sweet "baby" girl!!

Happy Birthday Daddy and Juls!

Before work/school this morning we had a birthday party here!

Jeff and Jul share a birthday.
Our birthday girl has made a card for Daddy for their special day!

Jul is excited to see what Ryan picked out for her.

Gram is off staying warm in Arizona this winter, but she sent a present for our birthday princess.

Daddy gets some birthday lovin'.

Jeff 36, Julia 6.
They're getting ready to have a "Just Dance" danceoff party.
