Happy 1st Birthday Emma

Well,Miss Emma actually got two birthday celebrations. We had a small party for her on her actual birthday and she had cookie cake and presents. Our parents and siblings and my dad's sisters and my grandpa came to my parents house for dinner and a small party. Then Easter weekend we had a big party to celebrate her 1st birthday. I did an Easter egg hunt for all 11 little kids and they had a blast. Then, to our surprise, Emma dug into her cake. She doesn't usually like cake or icing, which is why I got her a cookie cake on her actual birthday, but at her party she had it everywhere. Thank you to everyone that helped with the party. We had a great turn-out and I think everyone enjoyed celebrating Emma's 1st birthday! We love you (as Brady calls her) "cheeky little girlie!"

Spring Break 2011

Well, we made a last minute decision to go to the beach for spring break this year. Jason went the Kansas City to watch our good friend, Nate Adcock, play and then he had a baseball tournament at the end of the week. So, the kids and I went to Florida with my parents, Kelly, Joseph and Melissa. We had great weather and the kids loved the beach. Brady always loves going to the beach but Emma was too little to know what was going on last time so this time she really enjoyed the sand and the water. We are really glad that we went, but the kids and I really missed Jason. Can't wait for our next trip to the beach!!

Baseball & Soccer Practice

These are a few pictures of Brady's first soccer and baseball practice. I can't believe he is already big enough to play sports. We have not had any games yet, but just watching 3 and 4 year old practice any sport is hilarious. Most of them have no idea what they are supposed to be doing, which is what makes it so funny. We have had sooooo much rain that our games keep getting canceled, but we are looking forward to playing soon. Brady's weiner league baseball team is the Marlins and his soccer team picked their mascot and name so they are snakes, the black mambas. I'll post more pics of his first games, if we ever get to play.
