A day at the Farm

Last weekend mommy took me to a pumpkin farm. It was a lot of fun, I loved climbing the hay hill, mommy and I were playing hide and go seek. Then we went on a hayride out to the corn maze and around the farm.

Then I went in this hay maze. Mommy was trying to show me the way to go.

I had a lot of fun at the farm with mommy. Mommy sure missed the cider and donuts!

Going to Dance Class

I started going to dance class in August. I go every Saturday morning to be with my friends and Miss Patty. I love dance class, I have so much fun. I am learning to pliate and to do different ballet moves.

A Day Out With Thomas

Today mommy said that she had a special surprise for me. She told me that she was taking me on a special trip to see someone very special. She told me that the person was blue with a number 1. I said, "Thomas!" Here is a picture of me and baby Emma before we left. We had to give baby Emma a bath and make sure we had her diaper bag.




This is a picture of Thomas. I loved riding on the train and waving at everyone!

I got a hole in one!!!

I love climbing through the tunnels!

I got to sit in the fire truck!

Here is me and Sir Top'em Hat.

There is a train named after me!

I told mommy that my favorite part was riding on the train. I also told mommy that I like special surprises. I just wish that daddy could have gone with us.

Baby Jaguar

We went to a local fair and I became a baby jaguar. I was going around going "rawr, rawr".

Trip to Myrtle Beach

We went to Myrtle Beach over the weekend with Uncle Scott and Janell. We had so much fun. We went to this really neat "parade" Mommy said it wasn't really a parade it was called Broadway at the Beach.

Mommy and I went on the tea cups. I love spinning rides!

Then I went on the pirate ship for little kids. I wanted to go on the big pirate ship but mommy said I was too small.

I loved the motorcycles. I told everyone that I was going fast like David. David is a friend of daddy and mommy, he has a motorcycle.

One night mommy, daddy and I took a walk on the beach. It was so windy. We saw firecrackers and jelly fish. I got my pants wet.

Here is me and my Uncle Scott

I loved playing in the waves. My favorite part was having daddy and Uncle Scott make sandcastles and I would destroy them.

I had so much fun on our trip! I can't wait till next time.

Duke Chapel and Sarah Duke Gardens

We took Uncle Jake, B-Bar and Grammy to the Duke Chapel and the Duke Gardens. I told mommy that "someone made that castle for us". There were bells that were playing, it was very neat. I couldn't believe how big it was. It was also very hot on this day. We trekked through the gardens, mommy was having fun taking pictures. Below is a lily pad that she thought was cool. We saw a lot of turtles enjoying sunning themselves. The puppy that I am holding is my new puppy Luna, someday soon daddy is going to buy mommy and I a real puppy!

Birthday

Here is a birthday greeting from Emily's Cousins, Alexandra & Caleb.

My 3rd birthday

My 3rd birthday was a lot of fun. I received a lot of fun gifts. This is me with my new cowgirl outfit that Grammy made me and my new horse, Horsey. Grammy came to visit me and so did B Bar and Uncle Jake. Daddy and Mommy stayed up late and decorated the dining room and my bedroom.

Here is a video clip of everyone singing happy birthday to me!

Visiting Cousins

Last weekend we visited daddy's Aunt Lois,( I call her Aunt Lewis) and her husband Ron in Morrisville. Daddy's cousin Jamie was up from florida with his wife Lori and their two girls Meghan and Adrienne. I had a lot of fun. Mommy brought my picnic basket and we had a picnic in Aunt Lois's living room because it was too hot outside. Then Aunt Lois and Ron made a turkey dinner out of a can in backyard. It was yummy. Mommy and Lori took us outside and were taking a lot of pictures of us. Then we had cupcakes that Aunt Lois made for us. It was a great day. I am glad that I got to meet and play with Meghan and Adrienne. I hope to see them again soon.
I hope that you enjoyed the pictures. I know that it has been a while. Mommy went back to work a few weeks ago and now she doesn't have as much time to take pictures and download them! Check back after this next weekend because it is my birthday and I know there will be some good pictures. My Grammy and B Bar and Uncle Jake are coming!!!!

This is daddy with his cousin Jamie.

This is Erin and I. Erin is the finance of Ben who is another one of daddy's cousins. I was reading to her.

This is my tousseled, get out of bed look. I know everyone is jealous.

Aren't they cute?

Mommy and Lori were trying really hard to get us all to look at the same time. I was really interested in my stick. Sometimes I get so sick of posing for the camera!

I really liked Aunt Lewis's cupcakes.

This is Meghan, she liked the cupcakes too!

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Sorry there are no pictures. We have been so busy and mommy hasn't had time to take pictures. She did take a video of daddy and I playing soccer but it it too long. Mommy and I started school this week and we have been so busy. I like my new school but I still talk about my old friends all the time. I think that I almost potty trained. That makes mommy and daddy very happy! We are going visiting this weekend so hopefully there will be pictures when we come back.

A Fun Weekend

This weekend our friends, Kari and David came to visit from Illinois. We had so much fun. We went to the ocean on Saturday. Then we went putt putt golfing. It was a lot of fun.

A day at the park

Yesterday daddy, mommy and I went to a park downtown where you can ride a train, go paddleboating, ride a carousel , and rides these little boats. We had so much fun. After the park we went downtown and had lunch at an Irish pub. Then we went across the street and they had a jumping ride and a huge inflatable slide. Mommy and daddy were so proud of me because I climbed all the way to the top and slid down, very fast, I might add!


Daddy took this picture of mommy in the flowers.

This is me on the carousel. My horse's name was Oscar.

I loved riding the boats and ringing the bell.

Daddy took this picture of me with my hands on my hips. Both mommy and daddy said that this is, "So Emily..." I wonder what that means?

We have had a busy week this week. We came home from the ocean on Monday and then daddy's cousin Bryan and his wife Lori came to visit us Wednesday night and they left early yesterday morning. They think that they might want to move down here. So mommy and daddy's other cousin Lori showed them around. We had a big dinner here on Thursday night and I got to meet another one of daddy's cousins, his cousin Ben. He came over with Lori (Loralei as I call her) and his fiance Erin. I liked Erin, she was a lot of fun. I showed her my new bedroom and she pretend painted my toenails. I did hers too!

Today we are hanging out at the pool. I was showing daddy how I can blow bubbles under water. I am getting so good at swimming.

Our Trip to the Ocean

This weekend we went to the ocean with Aunt Ella, Uncle Henry and Jamie. We stayed in their trailer. We had so much fun. We went to the ocean and played in the waves. Daddy had fun body surfing. We took a ferry to Shakleford Banks and found some seashells and walked along the beach. The waves were really big there. I had fun playing in the waves and playing in the trailer.
