Two today, Three tomorrow

It's hard to believe that THREE is here!  I'm just not ready!  

Emery Ashlyn you are ready and you are "growing so big" just like you tell me each day you discover something that you can do all by yourself.

It was just yesterday that I was anxiously awaiting your arrival and then your daddy and I got to meet your sweet face. Tiny and precious, I was hoping you'd always stay this way.  

But today your two and tomorrow you'll be THREE!

You are so sweet, caring and gracious.  You are independent and daring with a little bit

a lot of sass.  You are a wonderful little sister, a good friend and still the most precious daughter.

You tell your mommy "You're my beary best friend" and you love to cuddle.

You're girly and playful and you always have a smile on your face.

You love anything Minnie Mouse and can't get enough of the many Disney Princesses.  You tell me about your day at school and share things with mommy like who you played with and what you colored.

You are mommy's little helper and daddy's little princess.

You are THREE!

Enjoy your special day daughter, we love you!

 Happy 3rd Birthday Emery!

Disney on Ice

"Surprise!!  We are going to Disney on Ice!"  This is what we got to say to the girls as we walked into the US Airways Center yesterday.  I think they were speechless and so excited of course.  Every year my parents used to take me to Disney on Ice; I still remember today how much I loved it!  I was so excited to start the tradition with our girls!

These faces say it all!!  And those snow cones were a huge hit!

Daddy and his girls!  He was super excited too, can't you tell?!

 All of our favorites were there, even Mickey and Minnie!

It was a great afternoon and the girls were blown away!  Can't wait to do it again next year!

Happy Day

Someone's 'Happy Day' (as Emery likes to refer to birthdays) is coming up so we had a little craft corner tonight at home.  Emery is so into coloring these days…in the tub, on the driveway with chalk, pens, pencil, markers!  You name it, she wants to color with it!

She get's very into her work as you can see…

Circles are lady bugs, lines are Emmy and the rest is just "Pretty Momma?"

It's all about lots of colors and boy does she have quite a selection!

I remember having one of these towers with crayons when I was little that my Gram gave me.  It made coloring even more fun!!

And the finished product...

We hope Grandpa likes it!

Play Dates and Park Dates

Last weekend was pretty low key for us.  We slept in (till 8:30), had some friends over for pizza and a play date and also spent some time at the park.  So here's some pictures we wanted to share…

Our Park Date

It's been such beautiful weather here I just want to be outside all the time!!  I love walking around the outdoor malls and window shopping, Emery loves the play centers and water fountains so we're often going in different directions.  But one thing is for sure, it's SPRING in Arizona!
