what a three year old looks like.

Emrie had a wonderful birthday !!! she celebrated with all her family and friends at the purcell lake. the theme was "horses." here she is after eating aunt Mac's delicious cupcakes.

her is the end result. Thanks aunt mac
her favorite big girl cousin Kagan with the birthday girl.
my precious sweet baby, who is not such a baby anymore. 3 is harder for me then 2. see when she is 2 she is still very needy, and dependent, and babyish. but 3 is independence and opinionated.

she loves her "Prince daddy" and laughs just like him. they are quite the pair while watching funny cartoons. she is very into "ice age" right now and her daddy loves that squirrel.

i hate to admit it but i have a little mini me on my hands. she loves to be with me and do whatever it is i am doing. she frequents the beauty shop and people are always amazed at how she dose everything just like me. she colors,cuts, shampoos, dry, and starts all over again.

she is so blessed to be able to stay with my nana lue while i work, and i hope she remembers all these special moments she shares with nana. my nana thinks she hung the moon and she tells me all the time, how she lives to take care of her babies.

we have been living with mom and gary while we build our house, and i think they secretly love waking up to Em. granna and papa think she is pretty special. she gives them both strict instructions, sometimes and they usually bite rigt into her plan.

we usually spend sunday afternoons at popper's house. she loves to go and eat his fried okra, and mac and cheese. i hope she takes a sense of family tradition from doing this. my great mamal always cooked sunday lunch while i was growing up, and i will always treasure those memories.

grandma and aunt leah watch em for us too, and she loves to spend time at grandmas house. she gets to have free rain over her house. last time i picked her up they had the whole living room set up like a picnic. she has so many fun toys to play with not to mention her grandma's hair to doo.

her aunts also take hand in make=ing her life so great. they love n her every chance they get. aunt mac seems to always have a surprise for her special girl, and she gave us the best gift of all the day tucker was born, emrie loves that baby boy so much, and i love watching them develope a bond with every visit. i am not going to lie taht tucker man loves his crazy big cousy too.

aunt chels and em have a special connection, see chelsie is a lot like me, and so emrie naturally feels loved by her. i cannot wait to see chelsie become a momma, i know from watching her love my baby it will come seamlessly to her.

with all that being said i think my little miss is one lucky and loved little girl. i hope she learns and grows into her very own shoes. taking and learning from each one of these special people.

thank you all for loving Emrie to the deepest part of the ocean.
Emrie- always know that wherever life takes you, we will be proud to be your momma and daddy prince.
