We love the park!

Emily is absolutely in love with the park these days. Everyday she lets us know she wants to go by picking up her sparkly grey stride rites and bringing them over to me and Brian shouting "Eh, eh!" Emily code for, "Put these on me!" And if one of us is putting our shoes or coat on she thinks for sure we are going and does a little happy dance and pats her tummy in excitement. Feel bad for her when all we are doing is running out to take out the garbage!

She loves the swings and watching the other kids play and run around. She did love the slide until one of her rubber soles got stuck and she ended up going head first the rest of the way down. Darn shoes! Brian and I love to watch her run around and observe her curious little ways.

We like to get in on the action too!

Emily's 1st Birthday Party

We celebrated Emily's 1st birthday this month with a pink and pink party! Yes, I'm so good at creative themes... It was perfect having Brian back home to celebrate and help with all the party prep and clean up. Here are some photo highlights from Emily's 1st birthday. A big thank you to Brian's sister Meghan for being the photographer!

Emily's birthday cake from Sweet Mandy B's.

Reaching for the cake!

Emily's cupcake, not so sure about this...

Spoiled rotten with lots of gifts from everyone!

Enjoying her new radio flyer tricycle, happy girl! 

Easter

This post is a little late and to be honest I've been really bad about posts these past few months. Going to try and get better here!

Brian was able to come home the day before Easter which really made this holiday so much fun. He was such a trooper and despite the 10 hour time difference and jet leg made it through the whole day.

Here are some fun photo highlights of our day!

Emily checking out the goods from the Easter bunny.

Having lots of fun with bubbles!

Family photo, apparently Brian is the only one paying attention while Emily and I goof off. 

Our Easter princess with a silver spoon in her mouth. Typical. 

Happy Easter from our little bunny!
