Emma Grace's First Day of Kindergarten

Wow, how can my baby girl be going to school.....really, when did she grow up? Well, let me be honest, I have been praying and praying and praying, that she would be ready, that I would be ready and there would be no tears and guess what "we" were ready and Emma Grace had not one tear! She seemed to really love school. A few weeks ago she was having many "moments" about going to kindergarten and I just couldn't imagine her being okay on the first day. I turned all my worry and all her worry over to God and he took care of it, isn't that neat, how God works;)

Emma Grace gets a new do

We cut it....lots of it...her idea completely and I absolutely LOVE it! Emma

Grace is really growing up, she knows what she likes and what she doesn't (hair itching her neck) and this is what she likes. I think she looks like such a big girl now....well, she kinda is, i can't believe she will be 6 in a few months! I love this girl!

My Big Helper

Emma Grace is always such a big helper. The other day I was cleaning the mirrors and she asked if she could help, so I gave her the bottle of Windex and she went to town on the french doors. A while later I look over and she is singing away and now at the front door. I grabbed my camera, it was just one of those "cute moments".

Emma Grace's Dance Recital

Emma Grace did an awesome job as a "Bumble Bee"! She was so proud of herself and performed so well in front of the large audience. She kept say "I won, I won"! Here is a picture of her after the performance with her flowers Grandma brought her.

Emma Grace's Dress Rehersal

Emma Grace is the girly-girl of the house. She will only wear dresses and constantly looks for her "princess crown". I am not sure where she came from because I was a TOM-BOY (ask my mom) and Kiley seems to be so too. So, last fall I thought dance would be her thing, and sure enough it is. She loves dance class and almost everyday after we pick Kiley up from school and she puts her dance stuff on and dances for hours. Her dress rehearsal was this past week and I took a few pictures. She has her recital this weekend coming up. I can't wait to she my princess dance!

Emma Grace

Well, last weekend we went to Blakeney to eat at Chili's. It occurred to me that Sweet ans Sassy was in the shopping center and I promised the girls a visit in the past and since I am finally feeling good and we were right there we would check it out and "talk" about getting their ear's pierced (this will be Kiley's 4th attempt). So we walk in, the smell of bubble gum is in the air, there are feathers and sparkles and girly stuff EVERYWHERE! Hannah Montana is on the tv screens and I am starting to feel bad for Ryan when he starts singing along....okay, he is definitely the father of girls! So anyways I ask Kiley if she is ready and of course the answer would be "no, maybe when I turn 6 or 7 or 8..." Emma Grace on the other hand is already in the chair picking out her earrings. Emma Grace went through with it. She did cry a little but then she looked in the mirror and realized she had earrings, and since she is SOOOO girly the pain for her was well worth it. Kiley was fine walking out with no holes in her ears. She says she wants to have her Birthday party there and maybe then she will get her ears pierce with all her friends there for emotional support, I doubt it.

Emma's New Bunk Bed

Well, Emma Grace got her Bunk Bed. She loves it. I can't believe she is already in a "Big Girl Bed". It feels like yesterday putting the crib up and decorating the nursery for her arrival. Well, with the 3rd on the way we will be putting that crib up and decorating a nursery all over again!
