Birthday Month

Well, it's that time of year again.  Yes, the best time of year- my birthday month.  Oh, and Emma's, and my sister Kayla's and my niece Sadies, and my Grandpa's... at least 2 of my cousins.... Yea, it's a big month for birthday's.  But lets not forget the most important one- mine.  Just kidding.  Kinda.  Well, I'm going to dedicate this post to Emma and her birthday.  Randy can do mine.  Hint hint.
First, I wanted to show you this picture of Kenadi sleeping in the closet.  She decided that she wanted to sleep there one night and we said yes, because we figured she would move to her bed since it was so uncomfortable.  But, no, she slept there all night.  Amongst the shoes.

 Emma LOVES trains, cars, trucks, princess things, dressing up, etc.  So, I took her to the Thomas when he came through town.  She was so excited to see Thomas.


 Emma loves Mya and Kenadi.  She is a good big sister to Mya.  A little overwhelming, but all with good intentions.  =)  Most of the time.
 Emma loves dancing.  She watches Kenadi in her dance class, and can't wait until she's old enough to go too.  They dance around the house together, it is so cute.
 For her birthday we took her to the zoo to go ride the train and see the animals.  The girls love the zoo.

This is our happy Emma and Kenadi, on the zoo train.  She loved it. 
 I decided to try fondant this year.  It was my first time making it and using it, so I didn't expect it to be perfect, and it wasn't.
 Emma loved her cake so much that she had me set it on the table close to her so that she could watch/guard it all day.  I had to give up worrying about it because it was A) her cake after all, and B) she drove the cars around on top, stuck her finger in the side (right where I covered it up with lots of green grass), and it made her so happy to mess with it.  No one was eating it but us anyway, so I let her play with it for the rest of the day.
 Happy 3rd birthday Emma!

Happy Birthday month to everyone! I have your present in my freezer and I have to tell you it took great restraint yesterday not to eat it.
But then I knew I would feel so guilty if I ate it, so you can still have it. I will have to drop it off sometime this week!

Happy Birthday to everyone! I like that you love your birthday so much (I spend half of my energy hoping everyone will forget mine so I do not really enjoy it. I should change my attitude, I bet I'd have more fun that way!). Emma is stinking cute and her hair is so long. I love that she likes trucks and trains, she sounds just like my girls.

Cute pictures, as always. And the cake turned out pretty good if you ask me. Especially in contrast to Barrett's cake I made him recently! LOL Not a beautiful cake, but it tasted good.

Hope you all have a nice Birthday!

Awe, you are such a good mom! To let her sleep in the closet with her shoes and play with her cake! I'm serious...it takes a special mom with a laid back attitude to not freak out about those things! Much love, and Happy Birthday Month! ~josie~
