Few More beach pics

Beach Trip

So, I think I am finally caught up. We went to the beach in June . Dave could not get off to go, so we went with my mom, Trina and her kids, and Aunt Brenda. Aunt Brenda is my mom's best friend and the girls just call her Aunt Brenda. We had a blast. The girls loved having Mason and Lexi there to play with. I loved all the help. Emery Claire loved jumping waves with Mason and Ella liked playing in the pool.

Putt- Putt

This summer since my cousins Tyler and Katie have been staying with us we have been able to do lots of fun things in the evenings. Tyler and Katie have been a huge help for us. One night a few weeks ago we went to play putt-putt. My mom had some of her teachers to the lake house so my dad stayed with us and joined in the fun.

4th of July

We spent the 4th at the lake with my family. As always we had a blast. My girls and Olivia are at such a good age and play so well together. I love spending time with my whole family all together.

An Awesome Day and one Big Girl

Yesterday we went to the lake with my family. While Dave, Emery Claire, and I were tubing behind the boat she prayed to receive Christ as her Savior. She had been asking lots of question lately about it, but we did not want to push her. So, out in the middle of the river Dave and I talked in depth with her and she told us that she was ready. She prayed in the middle of the Tennessee River for Christ to come in her heart. We question her understanding when she first started asking questions, but it was clear to us yesterday that she fully understood what she was doing. This morning she walked to the front of the church and by herself told our pastor what she had done. We are very proud of her. She will be getting baptized in the next week or two. Dave and I are over joyed with her decision.

New Pics

We have not had a family pic since Ella was 2 months old,so it was long over due. I finally talked Dave into it and my friend Julie went with us downtown and took some pics of the family. Emery Claire loves having her picture made and is such a little model. We had a great time and the pics are really cute.

All about Ella

I am super silly lately and love to make people laugh. I am my mommy's girl and like to be with her a lot. When mommy is not around I want my Mim. I have a sweet spirit and I am very kind hearted. I am becoming a very big girl. I am fully potty trained and i have given up my paci. I love all thing girly. I am really into the Disney Princesses and talk a lot about having a princess birthday party even though it is several months away. I will start taking dance in August and can't wait. I love to dance around everywhere I go. I will also start to preschool 3 mornings a week. I am very social so I look forward to this. I adore my sister and want to do everything she does, but we also fight some. My cousin Olivia is my best friend and i love to play with her and cry for her when I do not get to see her. My nickname is monkey and I pretty much live up to it. I am full of life and give a 100% to everything I do.

All about Emery Claire

I am now 5 years old but act 15. I am a very deep thinker. Lately I have been asking lots of questions about being a Christian. I will start to kindergarten in 2weeks. I am very excited because I love to learn. I am already reading some things and want to learn to read more. I am very cautious about new things, but have become very independent lately. My mom says 5 has been good for me so far. I am a leader and am very strong willed. I have lots of friends and love spending time with them. I am a little mother to my sister and other smaller kids that I am close too. My two older cousins Tyler and Katie have been staying with us this summer and I love being around them. I have learned to swim very well this summer and swim every day. I love visiting Mim and Doe's lake house and riding the tub with Katie and Kate. We went to the beach with friends this summer and jumping waves is one of my new favorite hobbies. This is just a little about me lately.

A little behind

I know it is has been a long time since I blogged. We are having a great summer. The girls and I have been able to do so many fun things. I am going to take the next couple of days to try to catch up on all of our summer activities. We have all had a great time the last month and are trying to fit as much fun into our days as we can before school starts. So, keep checking in as I attempt to catch up.
