may babies

May is a fun and busy month in our house!  Big E turned 8, Miss Em turned 3, Mom turns **cough** thirty-something **cough**, and then add on Mothers Day, teacher appreciation week/end of school stuff, and capping it all off with Memorial Day! Whew! 


Here are a few highlights from my growing babies...

BIG E:

  • Loves to dress in black, neon, camo, and sometimes all three.
  • Loves swords, nerf guns, and spy gear. Requested a double-edged sword for this birthday, but settled on a hatchet.
  • Went turkey hunting for the first time (no one was hurt - not even a turkey)
  • Best friend is Kale
  • Aces most spelling tests
  • Super responsible kid and an awesome big brother! He makes me proud every day!

MISS EM:

  • Loves to wear her "cow boots"
  • Rough & tough girl. Walked in one day to find her sparring with a boy from her class.
  • Loves to sing, especially Happy Birthday, ABCs, Old McDonald, and Little Bunny Foo-Foo
  • Wanted scissors and candy for her birthday 
  • Best friend is Sutton aka "Sutt-Sutt". Other buddies include Sibley "Sibby-rose" and Kate.  
  • "Yesterday" means anything from this morning to three years ago (example: "I was at that hospital yesterday when I was a baby."
  • Total daddy's girl, but gives mama plenty of hugs and kisses too. Love our baby girl!

This year the kids had a horse party for their birthdays! If you ask Em which was her favorite: the slower smaller horse, or the bigger faster horse, the answer is of course the big fast one (not pictured)!
