Mr. Ray

First Lesson....look at Trey's face
Third Lesson: They are so happy!

Emmy took swim lessons in the summer through the City of Huntington Beach. She did not like it at all, but her teacher was the best. After the first week, she decided that she liked it and did much better......she did not cry for the entire lesson. I asked him if he did private lessons so that Emmy could keep up on her skills. Mr. Ray, mind you he is in high school, has been teaching Emmy and Trey for a month and the progress is amazing. Trey calls him "Uncle Ray". Trey cried the entire first lesson, but at the end he was going under water! The pictures say it all....... the first lesson and then after 3 times with Mr. Ray. It is amazing to see the progress and how much they enjoy it.

Disneyland Fun





We went to Disneyland for fun and for Mike's birthday. The girls had so much fun. It was a great day to go because there were some clouds and a little wind. I always wonder when we go there if people work....so many people there on a Wednesday! They were probably wondering the same thing about us! The Halloween decorations were up and so cute. Emmy was able to see her favorite Disney character.....Ariel. Reese loved the teacups and didn't like Pirates because of the dark. Overall, it was a great day at the "Happiest place on Earth"! I can't believe how much everything costs......4.00 for a drink. They make so much money at that place.

Blanket


My girls each have a "security" object. Emmy has pink bear and Reese has a pink silky blanket.
She takes is everywhere and sleeps with it every night. Well................yesterday we were out to lunch with our friends Nicholas and Kindra and we lost the blanket. I had the girls loaded in the car and began looking for it because Reese was calling for it. I began to panic, it was no where to be found. I retraced our steps and called the store we went to. With no luck, we did no find the blanket. I immediately started to panic.......bed time, nap time, crying times, no pink blanket. What were we gong to do. I called stores and my mom looked at 3 stores, no pink silky blankets. They have other colors and styles, but that won't do. I began to look on line, and I found one similar to hers at the Right Start. I wish my girls like pacifiers, they would be so easy to replace! Here is the last picture taken with Reese and her blanket. I hope the new one fills the void, or the Walker family is going to be sad!

Soccer Fun



Trey throwing in the ball Reese walking!
My nephew, Trey, had his first soccer game on Saturday. It was so funny to see a bunch of 4 year olds running after the ball. Some even picked up the ball with their hands and put it where they wanted it and continued to run. Too cute! Emmy and Reese had fun watching, although Emmy wished she could be on the field with the boys. Terence is the coach, and that was also funny to watch........ 6foot 7 inches trying to tell 4 year olds where to be and what to do! Reese also liked to walk all over the field! I even got a picture of it, finally!

First Day of School


Miss Lauren and Emmy

Today was Emmy's first day of school at Joyful Noises (love the name!) Emmy was very excited as we were driving in the car to school. I was the one who was sad, excited, nervous, and shed a few tears. I can't believe how fast my little girl is growing up. Her teachers name is Miss Lauren. She is very caring and nice. Emmy said goodbye and ran off to play with play-doh. I went off to a parent orientation to learn about the rules of the school. I know that I can't be late or it is $1.00 a minute if you are past 12:00! I am excited for her because she is having fun, learning, and making new friends. This new chapter of her life is exciting, even if it is a little sad for us!

GG-Ma


Emmy loves to read books. She will come to anyone sitting down and ask them to read to her. Her great grandma read her a book and I captured the moment. Emmy wanted to read to GG-Ma as well.

First Pig Tails


Reese had her first "pig tails" the other day. She doesn't have much hair, but she sure looked cute!

WHY???


I know that kids love to ask why, but I did not realize how many times a day Emmy would be asking me.
Emmy: Why is the trash, trash? Why do you have green eyes? Who makes food? How do they make food? Why do we have hair and why is it called hair? Why does it rain? Why do you have two rings on your finger and on your toes? Why do you have to work? Why do I have school? How come the moon is not out tonight?
Mommy: Well Emmy................................................. I sometimes just laugh and think how wonderful it is to be a child and wonder "why" about the simplest things! I try to answer her "whys" the best way that I can!

Reese the "Walker"

Wow!!!!!!! Reese is walking! She still crawls, but she is bound and determined to walk. She loves it because her sister is her biggest cheerleader and loves the attention. She walked across the entire living room and kitchen. I tried to get pictures and video, but she would rather crawl when I got them out. We are all so proud of her, as she is with herself. WE LOVE YOU REESE GIRL!~

"Piratecy"

I love kids.....they say the funniest things. Emmy is potty trained now and she had to go to the bathroom. We walked down the hall towards the bathroom and she told me that I needed to leave because she needed her "piratecy". I was explaining to her that when people are in the restroom, the need their privacy! I think piratecy is too cute, just thought I would share!

Little Mommy


Reese loves to play with her dolls. She feeds them, kisses them, rocks them, and hugs them. She is so sweet with her dolls, if she could only be that way to her sister!

Pink Bear


Emmy has had "Pink Bear" since she was born. She does not leave home without it. She sleeps with it every night and it is getting very worn out. We went to Canada this summer and he came along. He even went on a hike to a beautiful waterfall. She was so proud that he came and she wanted to have her picture taken with him. I don't know what we will do when he falls apart!

Sandy Fun!


I just love this picture of Emmy and her cousin Gracie eating lollipops at the beach. They also had some sand with the lollipops. I just love summer, the beach, and cute girls!
