Mother/Daughter Time

Emmalyn isn't a baby anymore.  She has become her own individual, with quite the personality and sass.  During my Spring Break we were able to spend a lot of time together.  Wes was in school and his Spring Break was last week, which he was able to go to science camp, lucky!!  On my last day of break me and Em met up with some friends at the Chino Youth Museum; just their speed.  The girls had a good time playing dress up and being goofy.  We then went to CPK for lunch.  It was so much fun seeing the interaction between Em and the other girls.  They were talking up a storm and having their own silly conversations.  It was also fun for me to hang out with some other mamas. 

After Emmalyn's nap we then went to go get our toes done.  I've painted Em's at home, but this was her first time getting it done at the nail salon.  She loved it!  She put her feet in the water, they rubbed lotion on them, and then she chose what color she wanted them...pink of course!!  They also added a flower to her big toe, which she couldn't wait to show daddy and Wes.  After our pedicures we went next door for frozen yogurt.  Em is not much into candy, but when it come to yogurt or ice cream she will always say, YES PLEASE!!  She is just like her brother.  

My little girl is growing up.  There are some days that I wish I could just keep her little, but days like today, I see what a special, silly, independent, sweet little girl she is growing up to be, which bring a smile to my face. 

Happy Birthday Wesley

I know I am so behind in blogging.  I am on spring break, so I am trying to catch up.  Back in December Wesley turned 11 years old.  He decided that he wanted a Game truck/Mindcraft theme party.  We rented a game truck and had over some friends from soccer and school.  The boys had a blast.  Some of the boys also spent the night.  9 boys spending the night...oh my, what was I thinking?!? Here are some picks of the fun and crazy night!

Even Emmalyn got in on the fun

Happy Birthday Wesley!!

We love you!!

Bike Ride at the Beach

New Years Eve we headed down to the beach to go bike riding.  My joined us too :).  We started at sunset Beach and biked to Huntington Beach.  We packed out lunch and then had some ice cream for dessert.  Here are  a few pictures of our trip. 

 Emmalyn's first bike ride

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland a couple weeks ago.  Paul, my mother-in-law, Wesley, and Emmalyn went.  It was Emmalyn's first visit.  She was so excited.  She knows who all the characters are since she loves to watch Disney Jr.  We took Wes out of school, so that was a treat for him too.  We got there right when it opened and stayed till it closed.  It was a perfect day, the weather was beautiful and it was not crowded.  Wes was able to get on all the BIG kid rides and Emmalyn enjoyed all of her rides too.

Happy 2nd Birthday Emmalyn!!

I can't believe my baby girl is 2!!  I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday.  I love that her birthday falls on New Year's Day.  Not only do we get to celebrate Emmalyn's birthday, but we also get to start a new year! I love spending time with my silly girl.  Even though I am not able to spend the days with her, I know she is in good hands.  She continues to be watched my her grandmas, but 2 days a week she also goes to preschool.  She loves school!  She loves having friends!  She can name all of their names and her teachers names.  I love the relationship that her and Wesley have developed.  They love each other so much.  She loves to play soccer with him, watch T.V. with him, and loves when he reads to her.

I am trying to add pictures, but Blogger is not allowing me to :(.
