A beautiful day...

Happy Birthday Emilie!

We celebrated Emilie's 2nd birthday yesterday with all of our family!  Emilie's Aunt Ashley, Uncle Clint, and cousins Tyler, Andrew, and Jackson made the trip from St. Louis.  Emme's Great Grandma, Grandma, Papa, Grammie and Pops joined the party as well!  We grilled burgers with all of the fixings and had cupcakes and ice cream for dessert, of course!  ;)  It was so nice to have all of our family at our house to celebrate Em turning 2!

Celebrating Emilie's 2nd Birthday!

We are celebrating Emilie's 2nd Birthday this weekend while family is in town.  Her actual birthday is on May 12th, but we are having the party a little early so that all of our family can help us celebrate!  It is so hard to believe that our baby girl is turning 2!

Stepping Stones...

Ainslie and Emilie's Great Aunt gave our family these stepping stone kits when we moved into our new house.  We finally got around to making them this morning!  I think that they turned out super cute, and they were so easy to make!  They are going to go right into our garden!

The girls picking out their colorful stones to decorate their stepping stones!

Beautiful Blooms!

Water Wow!

The girls love to paint with their Water Wow! kit.  You just add water with a paint brush or sponge and the pictures come to life with color!  The pictures are reusable once they dry, so the girls can paint them over and over.  So much fun!
