one jam-packed post!

I feel like summer has officially started... School's out and we have already been to the pool! I just finished my last "work" project and so now hopefully I will be able to be a more "frequent" blogger! I love this time of year- birthday parties galore, big vacation plans, and just so much to look forward too!!! Not sure how I managed to put this picture first. I like seeing Emery playing with some more "boy" toys. Ha, I just want to make sure that she's well rounded!!

Happy 1st birthday to sweet cousin Bennett!!

Okay, so I left my camera the last day of school and asked Miss Laura to take a few pictures. Do you notice anything funny in this one? the helmet?? Poor Cole- he was the only little guy in the class this year. I feel sure that he got in touch with his senstive side some!


Emery loves, loves Miss Laura. Miss Laura made this year so wonderful!








I guess I would have to say that these are Emery's best school friends. I find it so cute that even at 2 1/2 and 3, girls know to put their arms around each other.






Right after Emery's last day of school, we jumped in the car and headed to Knoxville. My brother was a part of a fellows program this last year as well as recently getting his masters. We stayed in a hotel and boy was that fun!!! Merrill was, well... perfect. Emery changed beds 4 times and rolled out of bed twice! I wish we had it on video tape. Also, anyone see something in the above picture that would bother a "person overly concerned" about germs? (emery is laying right on top of that nasty comforter!!! I had to just not think about it!)





My brother (khaki suit) and his friends. Please note girls are once again holding onto each other!
Okay.... Warning to all of you who hate pink or only see blue in your house! The below pictures will make you sick to your stomach! They are all pink and green. The ironic thing is that neither one of these colors are my favorite- much less Jim's. We call this area of our house the pink and green wing. Please laugh at the "wing" part- our house is not large!!



My sewing projects....















Emery's big girl room. I'm working on a chandlier that I'm really excited about. I'll post pictures once we're done. (note- to replace the college dorm looking one in the picture)













the nursery is still my favorite room of the house. IF, (please read IF again, jim!) we were to have a third child, and that third child was a girl, I don't believe I would change anything in here again!




Did not mean to post it twice. I mean I like it, but not THAT much!





And below are my favorite things in the girls' rooms. All of them were made by a friend or family member....




Merrill's pillow- http://www.jnjsgifts.blogspot.com/- my cousin's sell this cute stuff!! Do you see where Merrill had just spit up?nice, huh?

Everything looks so cute! We are in the process of a "big girl" room. I'm trying to get that done before I start on the nursery, but I have been getting sick of pink and green too and am going to incorporate a little bit of yellow into the baby's room.
I love your outfits too!

Is that Laura Gibson? I did not know that she taught at Crieve Hall. I knew that little Clayton was in class with Emma Cate. I went to school with Laura. I love Emery's room...it looks great!
