Big Girl Room

This week we transitioned Emory into her new big girl room. We had been waiting on the bed I ordered to come in (over 2 months.....) so, we were glad to finally get to start on her new room. My Mom and Dad came over to help me move out the old and move in the new. They are such a great help to me.

I will say there are several emotions tied up in changing over rooms. That room has been a "baby" room for over 5 years now....so to see it change and no we won't ever have another baby room again is a little sad, but exciting at the same time.

Emory LOVEs her new bed. This is a pic of her jumping around and yelling "my big girl bed" over and over. She did great the first night, now let's see how the weekend goes!

This Week from Work

Here are a couple of my favorite things I made this week for Sugar Britches.....

Grandparents

We had my parents over for dinner this week just to catch up and to spend some time together. We so enjoy them being in the same town. I love that Emory loves to go to her grandparents house (she asks every day!). Here is a sweet picture of Em snuggling with Dad.

Baby Love

Emory and I were so blessed this week to get to play half a day with one of our favorite babies....Baby Will. I am always amazed how sweet Emory is with the little ones. She loves on them, holds them (with my help of course) and LOVES to read to them. She, however, doesn't like it when they cry! Me neither! No sad babies around here. Will was the perfect baby and had lots of fun with my little one. I am so thankful for them time I was able to spend one on one with him! Thanks Aunt Sarah!

Circus Smircus

Sweet Granpa provided tickets to the Circus for me, Jody and little Em. With much anticipation, the Circus daily finally arrived. We started off the morning with our Saturday Cinnamon Rolls and dressed in our cutest outfits (Emory's new Halloween shirt) and off we went.

I should stop here and say that little Em started to come down with allergies yesterday and this morning the best of it hit. We were so sad, because she was not her normal self and we don't feel like she really got to enjoy the circus (her first circus).

Jody gave her a ride on his shoulders from the parking lot. You can see she held on to his head between her two sippy cups....

We saw many crazy and amazing things during the first half. This is the face Em made the whole time.....yep, she is sick. Poor baby. Why does it always happen when we are going to do something fun and out of the ordinary? Ug!

She did clap a few times and ask to see the elephants again. I jumped at the chance to take her on an elephant ride....I think I enjoyed it more than her! And then, we left. We decided to leave when she laid her head on our shoulders and asked to go home......so we missed the second half. Oh well.

We did fulfill her request for fries and a cheesy burger on the way home by stopping in at Kincaids (yummy). She began to feel much better after we ate and on the way home, right now she is sleeping (going on 3 hours....yep she definatly doesn't feel good! Silly allergies!).

Hopefully next year, she can really enjoy the Circus all the more.

Canton

Finally.....our much needed girl weekend arrived last weekend. We have been planning this for over a year! I have much to write about, so I will come back a little later to finish this post.

Paw Fever

I have had a few friends encourage me to post some of the new makings from my embroidery business. So here I go. This is one of my favorites from this past week of working. It is a shirt with the name on the front and the little bear paw on the back bottom left of the shirt. It is for a client's little girl and her friends that are on the Bear Cats team. I LOVE my job!

God's Latest Creation

In Bible Class one of Emory's favorite songs is about creation...day one..day two...etc.

Here is a conversations she had with Jody this week:

"Daddy, you know what God created yesterday?"
"What?"
"Hairclips"

Granpa Joe or Granpa Gorilla?

Emory's great-granpa Joe was in town for a couple of weeks after escaping Hurrican Ike. They had to evacuate so they came up to live with Mike and Marsha for a couple of weeks. We had several opportunities to spend some time with them. My favorite.....Gorilla time.

Granpa Joe kept Emory entertained with "Granpa Gorilla" during lunch at Jalepeno Tree and then again one night while watching the Cowboy game. He makes a great Monkey face (as seen above), then beats his chest and flails his arms like a gorilla. Emory in turn had to give him her rendition of "Monkey Face".....and then tried to make Granpa (Mike) join in on the fun. Yes, you missed out.

That evening as we were heading home, Jody turned on the Cowboy game and then quickly turned it off when he realized what was going on......sweet little Em was singing her Bible songs in a soft sweet whisper....we listened to our own concert all the way home......My favorite "Oh How I love Jesus"...makes me cry with her sweet little voice. Anyway, her concerts are much better than a game any day.....and you know I like games!
