A book club member!!

Emersen belongs to her first book club! It is called the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and she has already received 4 new books. This program sends a new book each month to children for the first five years of their life. It is so neat!! These are pictures of her enjoying the newest book: Mine-o-saur.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Emersen and I had a girl's weekend since Trevor was in Chicago with the women's basketball team for the NCAA tournament. The day started off a little rainy so of course we had to jump in the puddles.

Finally after our nap the sun came out and we headed to the playgrounds~yes, we went to 3 in one day~ and even saw the Martin St. Patrick's Day parade.

I was pleasantly pleased with the parade, well let's be honest; I mean with Emersen's reaction to the parade. It began loud with the police cars/sirens, but then there were really like 5 other things: motorcycles, people with dogs, golf carts, the Boy Scouts, and some miscellaneous people with babies in strollers. All in all, it was rather funny but definitely gave us something to do on a Saturday.

Oh, I forgot to mention that there was also a leprechaun and what kind of parade would a small town have without a tractor??? Hope you wore your green and had a great St. Patrick's Day!

Random shots

Just some random shots that I thought you might enjoy...

So I guess we're not really into skirts; instead, we are obsessed with our jeans...so much that Eme had a terrible time getting into the bathtub without them on. Oh, and she loves the pockets too!

Elmo is still her buddy :)

The tower of groceries she built one Saturday after going shopping with me...

Emersen's favorite seat in the house is on top of the couch cushions with an extra pillow underneath her. As you can tell, she really likes this seat :)

Stickers, stickers we love stickers!

Spur of the moment trip

Emersen and I decided to take a spur of the moment trip and head up to Indiana for President's Day weekend. We figured it was a great weekend to get out of Martin and it was a plus that this weekend fell between my mom's and Megan's birthdays. The girls had such a blast playing together as you can see from the pictures I posted. : )

Hmmm...not sure if this is cousin 'initiation' or not...but they had a lot of fun, even if Emersen was always the patient.

Dress up time!! At home, Emersen will have pretty much nothing to do with a skirt, let alone a tutu skirt, so I found this rather interesting.

Cooking with Nina!!

Relaxing with Aunt Megan (Zoe and Logan were really into Finding Nemo; Emersen, not so much).

Home again!! Emersen is sporting the headband that she borrowed from Logan and Zoe...it rarely comes off of her head :)

We had a great trip, even if it did end with us in an urgent care clinic Monday morning. Emersen woke up in a lot of ear pain and had a bad ear infection. I really can't complain since it is her first one since she had tubes put in back in June. Needless to say, it was a long drive home for us but we made it back safely. After a week on antibiotics and ear drops, I think she is feeling better. Let's hope so!!
