Bulldog Proud

This past month we have had so much fun following our Lapel Boys Basketball Team through the tournament, all the way to the State Finals!!! And they WON!!!! Woo-hoo!!! Being back in a small town is so fun :) I think literally everyone in Lapel made it to the Semi-State and State Finals games, it was so neat to be a part of and we are so proud of our team and our little town. Way to go Bulldogs!!!!



How sweet is this? :)

Emmy's Play :)

Not long ago, we were asked if Emmy would be in the high school play, "Into the Woods". They needed a few little ones so Emmy and the Kemerly kids got to be in the play together. We were so excited for the opportunity, knowing she would just love it, and she did. She smiled the whole time she was on stage....literally, from ear to ear, the entire time! She had two parts, a bluebird and a hen, so she even had a costume change! When she was a hen she had to run on stage all by herself, flapping her "wings", it was SO cute! She was such a trooper through the long practices, late nights and dress rehearsals but she loved getting to be with the "big kids" and those high schoolers were so good to her. She had three big shows over the weekend and did so well each night. She even fell once on stage and just popped back up, still smiling. :) After each show, she had people coming up to her wanting to meet her and get their pictures with her, it was awesome! And she had lots of loved ones in the audience, each night, cheering her on. We are so proud of you Emmy Jane, great job on your big performance!!

First Bike Ride

We got Emmy a bike for Christmas and it has finally been warm enough to try it outside! We've done plenty of laps in the house :) but she was so excited to actually take the bike out for a change. Lacy, Melvin, Grayson and Oliver came over and she had so much fun getting to ride bikes with Grayson, and of course play in her car. And considering how crazy windy it was, we couldn't believe she actually stayed up on her bike! But she did awesome! Way to go Emmy!! :)

Birthday Surprise

Last month over my birthday weekend, Josh surprised Emmy and I with a little surprise getaway. Josh and I both love Columbus, OH and over the past few years whenever we needed a little break from the tough stuff, we'd make the quick trip over there. So this time, he decided we should go for a fun reason. My last two birthdays were so hard....we lost a little one within a day or two of my actual birthday. So this year, was the best birthday ever :) Here are a few pictures of our weekend in Columbus, we went to the Science Museum, which was amazing, swam in our hotel pool and went to one of our favorite restaurants. Thank you Josh & Emmy for making this birthday so memorable, I love you both so much!!!
