David and Kara's Wedding

4/12/13

The daughter of our good friends, Michael (Doc) and Terri, got married this weekend. We have watched Kara grow up and become the beautiful woman she is today. We were so honored to be a part of her special day. The wedding was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. We all had an especially good time in the photo booth :o)

A Mini Beach Get Away...

4/10/13 - 4/11/13

Our friends Michael (Doc) and Terri's daughter Kara got married this weekend. Since Brian and Sunny were flying in from MN for the wedding we decided to take a couple of extra days off to hang out at the beach.

We headed over to the Hilton at Clearwater beach and spent a couple days playing on the beach, swimming in the pool, and just relaxing. It was here that Aunt Sunny got Emily into the pool. Once she got in we had a hard time getting her out!

 Hmmm, what can I get into?!?!

 

 Daddy!

Easter 2013...

Emily had a wonderful first Easter! We started out the morning waking up to an overflowing basket of goodies. Lucy even tried to get in on that action, lol.

Lucy wants to help open the basket...

My first Easter egg hunt...

 

 

After church we went to Grandma Joanie and Papa Rich's house to have an Easter egg hunt and dinner.  I was spoiled just a little bit (a lot!) more. My cousins Samantha and Alyssa were there and helped me with the egg hunt. We got to blow bubbles too, my favorite! Then my first Easter ended with a visit from Papa Bob and Grandma Nancy, they brought me a basket too.

 

These days holidays of any kind are such a special time for us. Today we are especially thankful for God's blessings.

 

The Final Birthday Post... The Cupcake

To wrap up my day mom and dad got a BIG cupcake just for me. It was yummy and I ate almost all of it but liked the frosting the best ;o)

Today I Turned 2...

To celebrate my 2nd birthday mom and dad took me to Lowry Park Zoo. We saw monkeys, a tiger, penguins, turtles, manatees, otters, red wolves, giraffes, elephants, zebras and lots of other animals. I even got to feed the goats; the nibbling on my hand felt funny. It was great day and I loved seeing all of the animals! (I actually turned 2 on 1/2/13 but my mommy is slacker and took forever to post this.)

Let's go...



Check out my glasses!

 



Mommy says I have hair like this in the morning...

 



Look dad penguins!

 



One of my favorite pictures, just look at that face!
