Performance Time

Emmy had her first performance of the season at Clayton's Harves and Music Festival. So after ball pratice we changed and rushed to clayton.

We got to take Elise with us and the girls snacked on some flavored honey before the dance.

They performed last years dance and Emmy said she forgot it midway, but I couldn't tell. Maybe because all I can see is perfection when I look at her:)

Here the girls are hanging out before the performance. Afterwards, Elise said, "That was sooo awesome!" I totally agree.

Hairbow Making

Friday night as we were getting ready for the yardsale the next day Emmy and Elise decided they wanted to make hairbows to sell. I agreed, as if we didn't have enough to do, but it was fun and the girls made a slew of them. This is what we started out with.  I love me some ribbon in case you can't tell.

And this is what we ended up with. Not the cutie patootie with the green mouth, but the cute hairbow.

Ally loves some posing.

And I love her hairbow. Not sure why her mouth is green.  So pretty and so easy. It's a good thing I have so many girls, because we have a lot of hairbows left over.

Fall Ball

It's that time of year again, well actually this is the first time our kids have played fall ball. We usually just play ball in the spring. But I'm so glad we did, because Emmy has aged up to the 10-U league and it is on a totally different level. We are so overwhelmed, plus we have missed all the pratices because they put us on a team that pratices on Sunday and we don't do Sunday pratice. Fortunately for us we have friends that coach the 12-U girls and they have started letting Emmy and Elise pratice with them during their Saturday pratice. We had to get a lot of new gear and here is Lovey trying it all on.

I suspect this is as close as she'll ever get to being a ballplayer.

But I bet she would make a good cheerleader.

Squished

Parker was playing in her car (her most favorite thing to do) the other day and Charles-Allen was playing on the swing set, or so I thought. I happened to look out and catch him trying to get in the car with her.
It was too cute. Do you see how squished he is?

He didn't seem to mind that he didn't fit, but then he saw me and my camera and tried to get out. Unfortunately, he was stuck and had a hard time getting out. It took him so long that even Buga was ready to get out.

Here he is afterwards looking all cute and maybe a little embarrassed. He already thinks he's too big to play with baby toys.

Crazy Baby

Parker is growing like a weed! Well, except for her hair. I don't know what's going on with that.  Anyway, she's so sweet and energetic. Her loves to get the camera while I'm trying to take her picture. That's why I have no good pics of her.  As soon as she spies it she comes running and tries to get it.

She loves to wrap her hands around my legs or if I'm wearing a skirt she'll wrap her hand in it and suck her fingers. This is the only way I can get a pic because she can't see me taking it.

Darn it! I've been caught again.

Daddy/Daughter Night

Last week at Church our FIG (faith in God) girls had Daddy/Daughter Night. For the activity the Dads and Daughters had to think of a famous duo, dress up like them and prepare either a skit to perform or six clues to give the audience. Then we had to guess who we thought they were. Since I'm the teacher over the FIGs I thought this would be a great idea for the dads to do (not the moms) and I was totally right. It was the cutest thing ever. Can you guess who Emmy and Neal were?

If you're thinking Tom and Jerry you would be correct.

Here they are acting out their skit. It was hillarious. At one point Emmy put her foot in her daddy's butt and pushed him down. He was trying to steal her cheese.

Here is my cutie patootie. She loved it. There were so many more great acts and a lot of great dads that were willing to be embarrassed for the love of their little girls. Here is another cute duo. They were mighty scary. Can you guess what duo Cory and Elise were?

Rock A Bye Baby

My mom recently bought Parke a rocking chair and we can't keep her out of it.

She loves to roach back in it and then start fussing because she wants me or her daddy to rock her.

She's a bit high maintenance.

But she sure is cute.
