Emma's 3rd Birthday

HOLY MOLY!! My baby is 3 years old!

On September 30th we had a birthday party for our little Emma. It was balloon themed. We tried to pay some balloon games, but the wind wouldn't cooperate with all of the games.

Our big girl waiting to open her presents. And boy did she get a lot!

She was laughing at daddy, he was modeling her clothes

This card was from my Brother and Sister-in-law. It has Ariel on it and when you push a button Ariel's tail dances to "Under the Sea" Emma loved that thing.

When we lit her candles, and before we sang "Happy Birthday" she blew them out, so we had to re-light them so we could sing. Silly Girl!

This is how she shows us that she's 3! I love how she does it. I hope she never changes it.

Ahhh, Peach days. It was this weekend 10 years ago that Brock and I were "spying" on each other at the car show because both of us were too shy to talk to the other. This year we went up on friday night, Brock had to work on Saturday :( , and watched the kids parade and honestly I may watch that one from now on it so much shorter. We go for the fire trucks and thats about it. But after that we walked to booths and waited for Tyler, Rebecca, Rod and Kris to show up and we had some dinner, then Rod bought Emma tickets to ride the rides and we did that for about and hour and a half. She LOVED it!

*This Girl LOVES the dirt. We get this at least once a week. A cute dirty face.

*CAMPING~~~FINALLY!

Brock and Emma on the 4wheeler, she wanted to ride it about 10 times a day

Digging with Uncle Jerry. She took to him right away. Everything she wanted to say, she would direct to him. "Uncle Jerry, that's the 4wheeler" "Uncle Jerry, you scoop(dig) with me?" etc.

Helping Pappa burn the trash.

*You might be a redneck if......*

.....you strap your child's carseat to the front of the 4wheeler so she is safe. And believe me that thing wasn't going anywhere. ~He only rode with her around the campground like this~
She loved it. She kept wanting to go again and again.

Emma's first haircut

At 2 years 10 months 2 weeks and 1 day Emma had her first haircut!! Oh my gosh she looks like she jumped from 2 years old to 6 in about 10 minutes. I still can't get over the change. She looks so dang cute. My friend Leslie cut it, she gave her some bangs, she evened out the back and tapered around her face.
