Birthday Dinner

Last night we went to Red Robin for Emma's birthday dinner. This has become a tradition for the last few years. She LOVES Red Robin. She was so excited when they came out singing to her. Our waitress was fabulous and even let Emma take her picture.

Happy 5th Birthday!!!

Five years ago today, at 10:37am was the happiest day of my life. Emma, you have made me so happy in your short little life. Some days, I still can't believe that you're mine. I sit back and wonder how the years have slipped by so quickly, as it seems like only yesterday that you were born. You will ALWAYS be my baby. My sweet, beautiful, amazing baby. I love you so much! Have a happy birthday, baby!

My beautiful girl...

I could look at this face all day :) These are her 5 year pictures. This is the first year that I've tried my hand at them. I think they turned out pretty good..but how could they have not, with such a beautiful subject!!!! I heart her so much. I can't describe the love I have for her...my world...my breath. And to think, she'll be 5 in just a few short days! Where have the years gone?

Making this blog private...

I'm going to be making Emma's blog private. If you want to still have access, just send me an email to yagsgirl@gmail.com and I'll add you to the reader's list.

Thanks!

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July!!!! And, Happy 18th Birthday, Aunt Kristin!!!!!!

Grounded

Well, I'm grounded for the 1st time in my adult life...by my doctor that is!

I went back to the doctor today because my knee pain has been getting worse. He thinks that it could still be a torn meniscus, but is leaning toward it being a tibial plateau fracture, due to the amount of pain I am in, and where it is.

So, I am off work until further notice. I have to be completely off that leg, so I'm on "britches" according to Emma :) At least he gave me Percocet for the pain because the 800 mg of ibuprofen I was taking, wasn't even taking the edge off.

I just feel bad for Jacen & Emma...sitting around the house for the summer. Jacen is going to go hang out with Grandma Carol and Grandpa J tomorrow night and Friday. And, Emma is going to the zoo with Miss Carrie and the gang on Friday, so they'll at least have a bit of fun this week!

Playing Cornhole

I found a Cornhole Jr. game at Target, and decided to break it out on Jacen's birthday, during his cookout. Emma, Jacen, and Aunt Kristin had fun playing. The last pic is Emma shielding herself from a pelting from her brother!

Backyard Fun!

I'm sorry I'm so behind on blog updates! Life has been crazy with summer here...and me doing, what seems like a million photo sessions a week. I recently suffered a knee injury, as well, that has me sidelined.

Anyway, a few weeks ago, on a sweltering day, the kids wanted to get out all the water toys. They had a blast...well, Emma had a blast running through the sprinkler, and Jacen had a blast shooting her with his Super Soakers! I am going to miss when the lazy days of summer are over.
