Emerson Elizabeth is 7!

 How is this little girl....

 this big already??

 It is crazy how fast time flies.  A concept I never really understood until I got older! :)  Our little lady is 7 years old already.  She is a creative, artsy, spunky sweetheart who loves to help in the kitchen.  She loves Youtube, watching cooking shows, and creating everything (which usually ends up in a big mess!).  She loves to play with her brother and speaks her mind.  We are so blessed by our little girl.

 She wanted a baking theme this year.

She and her friends each decorated an apron for a party favor

hot dog bar, fruit and veggie trays, chips, potato salad, lemonade, homemade sugar cookies, and chocolate lasagna for lunch

 So thankful for friends and family to help celebrate

Emerson has learned a lot about reading this year in Mr. Anglemyer's 1st grade

new bike from Uncle Steven, Aunt Kristina, and us

Allie, Sami, Leah, Em, and Kenna

We had a gorgeous day to celebrate Em.  Looking forward to many more birthdays together!

May fun

The month of May always flies by so fast in our house.  It's usually the end of the school year, which is always busy, Mother's Day, baseball starts, and Emmy's birthday.
Here are some pictures from our month:

 Landon moved up to the minors this year with the pitching machine.  He is on the Mariners.  He's getting better at batting and got his first hit last game.  It takes some getting used to.  He LOVES baseball and is constantly practicing, watching, or playing the video game!

 Mother's Day

Kids always want to take a silly picture

We had lunch over at Steven and Kristina's new house

The next day, Matt and I took a personal day to go with the kids on their field trip to the zoo.  It was freezing and a little rainy, but we had a fun day!
