Happy Birthday Emma

Yesterday we celebrated Emma's 5th birthday! It's so hard to believe that she's 5 already! The time has gone by so fast! Emma is a great little girl. We love having her as a part of our family. I couldn't imagine our family of girls without her. So, Happy Birthday Emma. We love you so much!

Daddy and his girls

I just had to add this picture to our blog. The girls were having so much fun with daddy. They all layed down together and watched "Holly Hobby" (gotta be one of Marc's most favorite movies - just kidding). They popped some popcorn and had a great time together. Marc really loves his girls!

7 Years and Counting...

Well, it's hard to believe, but Marc and I have been married for seven wonderful years now! We celebrated our anniversary yesterday. Didn't do a whole lot especially since we weren't able to find a sitter for the girls, but it was still a nice day. It's hard to think that we've been married for this long already. It seems like only yesterday....well, you know the rest. I thank God every day for giving me Marc as a husband. He is a wonderful man who is so good to me and is a GREAT father to our girls. He's a good provider and takes very good care of us. Thank you, God, for sending Marc my way! I'm looking forward to spending the next 50+ years with him!

Dress Up

The girls really enjoy playing dress-up. Just had to take a few shots of them. Check Lily out. She's got that pose down pat! Watch out world - here they come!!

Fun in the Sun

We've had some insanely warm days out here lately. So, on one of those hot days, we decided to go and play outside in the octopus sprinkler. Emma's really the only one that enjoys getting wet with a sprinkler. The other two really don't like it a whole lot. I don't know if it's just because of the unexpectedness of the water or if it's because it's so cold. Anyway, here are just a few pics to show the fun that they had.

Emma enjoying getting cooled off!

Lily did get a little wet that day, but not a whole lot.

And she's off!!!

This is Emma with her neighbor friend, Sarah. They are really good friends and I like to watch them play together. They really enjoy being around each other. I hope they stay friends for a very long time!
