Fun at White Water

Emily has visited White Water a few times this summer thanks to Uncle Andy! The first trip was just with Mommy and Daddy, but the second time we brought Miss Jenn and Olivia! Everyone always has a great time there!

 The purple slide - definitely her favorite! 

 Riding the "Bamama" (Bahama) with Daddy!

Sweet Summertime

We have been having so much fun this summer! Time has flown by, and it's almost over. Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks of fun:

Family Pictures

Our friend Holly from Holly Brooke Photography recently did a family photo shoot with us. It was so much fun! We absolutely LOVED the pictures she captured of our sweet girl. Thank you Holly!

Birthdays Galore

Emily loves to go to her friends' birthday parties! She has never turned down a chance to celebrate :-) On this particular weekend, we had a birthday party on both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, we celebrated at the pool with Sienna who turned three. Sienna and her sister Mia lived next door to us and recently moved just a few miles away. I'm so glad that the girls still remained friends! On Sunday, our friend Cela also turned three! She had a garden party in Decatur with Farmer Sean. It was so much fun to interact with the animals and play in the dirt. Of course, I totally disregarded the line in the invitation that said "Dress your kids to get dirty!" and put her in a cute little party dress. Mom of the year!

She's always happy when food is involved :-)

 Gotta love this girl! 

 

Daddy found a ladybug and helped Emily hold it

 

 We visited Teta & Jiddo's garage sale after the party and Emily picked up some new shoes!

Emily's First Braves Game / Father's Day

I decided to celebrate Father's Day on Saturday so that we could take Emily to her very first Braves game with Fouad. Emily and I made Fouad breakfast, then we headed to Emily's soccer practice. Afterward, we all put on our Braves gear and headed to Turner Field! Uncle Andy set us up with some really great seats right behind home plate. Emily LOVED it! I think it's safe to say that Fouad had a wonderful Father's Day!

It was too yummy - she wanted it all for herself!

Perfect Father's Day!

Strawberry Picking with Friends

Emily and I met Jenn and Olivia at Warbington Farms with every intention of picking some strawberries. We got there just in time to do the hayride and storytime, which included all of the fun bounce houses and the petting zoo. By the time we finished with all of that, the girls were ready for lunch, and it was way too hot to pick strawberries. Emily and I shared some homemade strawberry ice cream instead! Here are a few pictures from our morning:

 On the hayride with Olivia - looking for cows

 This girl loves animals!

 

Story time - Emily had to sit right up front

  Olivia wanted to play during story time - here's the negotiation

 

And they're off! At least she still looked to check and see if it was okay :-)
