New things in life.

Okay so I had this dream that I would blog. It doesn't seem to happen for me. I have had requests to please update my blog so here we go. We'll start back with our Mother and Daughters Tea. Emmaleigh had so much fun getting dressed up and wearing makeup. She really acted like a little lady. I thought the best part was she picked her "Grumpy Bear" to bring because he matched her dress. I was such a proud mommy. I have trained her so well :o)!













She enjoyed grapes. I was totally shocked that she didn't like the Chocolate Dipped Strawberries. She loves strawberries and chocolate but I guess not together. For those who don't know as well Emmaleigh loves hot tea so this was especially fun. I couldn't eat anything at the tea because I had just had my surgery the previous week.

Emmaleigh is still taking Ballet. She will be going to a formal studio come January because although I have enjoyed her teacher at the NHCC Parks and Rec it is just way too unorganized and it doesn't seem to be very strict. It seems that people just come and go and so Emmaleigh never gets to learn anything new because we always have to start at the beginning again whenever a new student is added. I will be enrolling her at the Sacramento Ballet Academy.
Emmaleigh also finished AWANA recently. She received her Cubbie Bear to sew on her vest. She was so sad when it was over. At the awards night the kids sang their Cubbie song and you could hear her above all the other kids. (I haven't decided if this is a good thing or not). She can't wait for AWANA's to start up again. The picture below is Emmaleigh and her "best friend Abi". Unfortunately for Abi her night ended in stitches when her and Emmaleigh ran out of the bathroom Abi tripped and fell head first into a stool. It took 7 stitches and her parent's medical insurance didn't kick in for 2 more weeks. WHAT A BUMMER!

Okay moving on, Emmaleigh starts soccer in the fall she will be playing for the AYSO Rio Linda Division. Unlike, Jeni, we did not have to stand in line and it was smooth signup. Unfortunately Emmaleigh is very disappointed because we couldn't find Green Soccer Cleats. She ended up with Black and Pink. Also we had to buy them too big because it appears that they don't make soccer shoes in anything smaller than a 10 so she will be wearing double the socks.

With all of this talk of Emmaleigh y'all probably think I don't love Koen but I do. He just doesn't do anything to exciting yet besides WALKING!!!! YAY!!! We are so excited for him. Life is very difficult for a little brother to a bossy big sister. He has finally realized if he learns to walk he can escape her nagging and pestering. Besides the fact that he will pull Emmaleigh's hair whenever he pleases. Poor little boy I do feel bad for him some days. He has a massive temper though so I think as he gets older he will present his own challenges.
Right now Koen has 13 teeth. He doesn't say much yet but he does say "mama", "dada", "uh-oh", "she's stuck"(another whole story), and he mimics the sounds of sirens by saying "wow, wow, wow" It is very cute.
I will get back to Father's Day maybe tomorrow. I am tired of blogging now but I will try to do better. Bye y'all.
