Emma Jo is 4!!!

Happy 4th Birthday Emma Jo! 

We went over to Uncle Matt and Aunt Jenny's to celebrate Emma's birthday a few days early on June 19th.  It was quite the party!  Uncle Matt was yet again the "Master Griller"!  Aunt Jenny decided to go from helping the kids fill water balloons with the hose to turning it on everyone!  Then Bob and Jenny's brother Nathan (who are really just big kids themselves) decided to have their own water balloon fight!  I think it's safe to say that the kids were the most mature at the party - which made it a ton of fun for the adults!  Before long, everyone was wet and it was swimsuit time!  Emma received lots of great gifts, I lost count of how many pairs of shoes she received after 6!  Ella was close by to start making her list of wanted hand-me-down items from Emma!

Summer Fun!!!

Sunday evening we went over to Uncle Matt and Aunt Jenny's house. Bob helped Matt set up their swimming pool (Ethan and Boomer helped too)! Grammie, Ella and Emma enjoyed playing on the trampoline. Ella and Emma had were wild girls, they decided to have a contest of who could scream the loudest! Our ears are still ringing from the piercing sounds of those two girls.

Rollin' in the Escalade!  Look at these hot chicks!  Emma and Ella decided to take Cousin Kade and Dayne's Escalade for a spin.  I informed Aunt Jenny that this is the one and only time these two girls will be allowed to drive anywhere together!  I cringe when I think of what they will do together as teenagers!  We all went over to Uncle Jeff and Aunt Tanya's house on Sunday to celebrate Dayne's 4th birthday.  Typical me, I didn't even get a picture of the birthday boy!  He looked pretty cool decked out in all his new Iron Man gifts!  Happy Birthday Dayne!

Ella at the pool wearing her adorable white swim cover dress that she received from "Uncle" Gary and "Aunt" Judy for her birthday.  We went swimming last Friday afternoon at the Airport Holiday Inn with Nana, Papa and Grammie.  Nana was leaving the next morning for California to spend some time with Aunt Janet as she recovers from ankle surgery.  We hope you feel better soon Aunt Janet, sending you lots of hugs and kisses!
