Having fun at the park


Enjoying the horse ride

I can't believe Audrey is now a 3rd grader. Today was her last day of school. I wish I would have remembered to get a picture of her with her teacher, Mr. Severson. I went to have lunch with her....they ate outside today and had an extra long recess. She says Mr. Severson has been her favorite teacher so far because he is so funny!!! She is hoping for a male 3rd grade teacher. It's so hard to believe she only has a year left at the Elementary school!!!!!!Soooo bittersweet!!!

Color Me Mine

Since I worked on Mother's Day, the girls and I had a "date night" the Friday night before. We went to Color me Mine and they each picked pottery to paint. Em painted this box with a dragonfly on top and Audrey a dolphin. I need to take after pictures as they look much different.
This was our first time there and it was a lot of fun. There are so many things there I would love to make!!!


Audrey with dolphin....

Working hard

We ended the night by going to Skydragon, Audreys choice....Chinese Buffet. We had a fun "girls night"

Wrigley

Already starting to climb. He was wanting Emerysns food!!!


Loving the park and so lucky to have great big sisters to help him!!!

Wrigley loves to be outside and often screams and points meaning he wants to go out. When we come home from places also he gets mad that we have to go in the house.

Helping mama clean!!!

I like his crazy hair in this picture!!!

Soccer

A few soccer pics, although there are only 2 games left of the season. Audrey once again has really liked playing. This is a pic taking a break!!!!


Audrey is on the left, her friend Marie that is our neighbor is next to her

I think Audrey looks so grown up in this picture

JFK Spring Show

The girls had their Spring JFK Show about a month ago and now they are done for this year. None of the pictures at the actual show turned out well...they are too dark.
So here is one before going into the gym.

A shot before leaving the house

Emersyn's 5th Bday party

Emersyn had 4 little girls over to my house for her party along with her best little boyfriend Ben. They all had a great time, or at least seemed to

Audrey was the one who actually broke the pinata



Our standard muscical chairs game the girls always like to do at their parties

Where did the Time Go???

A couple pics of Emersyn I came across. It's hard to believe how fast they grow up. I think she was around 2 1/2 in these.

I don't have any baby pics on the computer, guess that was before digital cameras!!!!

Emersyn turns 5!!!!

Emersyns Bday was the 13th, the day after Easter...so her first Bday celebration was on Easter day....

Cousins

We finally got to meet little Katie...she is such a happy, fun little girl. Audrey and Emersyn talked about her for days....


Keegan and Emerysn playing with the treadmill...why buy toys???

Easter 2009 in Galesburg

The kids and I traveled to my parents for Easter. We were able to have a long weekend there which was great. I just don't seem to find the time to blog lately...I can't believe how much I have to catch up on!!!



The Saturday before Easter we spent some time and Grandma and Grandpa Bradbury's. The first Easter Egg hunt was there with cousins Keegan and Katie.

Wrigley with my cousin's husband, Brian. All my kids love both of them and I am so glad they were able to come with us. They were a huge help and I doubt I could have done it without them.

Em with her friend Ben. They happened to come to MOA yesterday too and we met up so they could do a few rides together. Ben and Emerysn both LOVE each other and even talk about marrying each other. It is pretty funny!!!

American Girl

The girls each had quite a bit of money to spend from their Birthdays, but all they chose to do was pierce the dolls ears. You can't see in this picture. They both said they wanted to save the rest of their money. I was in disbelief, but am glad if they chose to be savers!!!! Well, actually now that we got home they have both thought of things they should have got their dolls, so we may place an order online today while there is free shipping.
Emersyn with Kit and Audrey with Mia after they got their ears pierced. The lady just took the dolls in the backroom to do it. I am sure they just poke something like a needle in and they don't want you to see it!!!!



I promised the girls for their Birthdays we would go to MOA to the American Girl Store and to eat at the Bistro. We had to reschedule as when we were supposed to go last Friday, Wrigley and I had the flu. This is at the Bistro...they even brought lemonade out for the dolls.

Audrey and Emersyn with Am. Girl dolls at the bistro.

Chuckie Cheese

We finished off our trip to LaCrosse at Chuckie Cheese. This is Em in the Monster Truck.
