Giddy up, Cowgirl Emerald!

I know these are the same 2 pictures, but the tears in the second picture reminded me of "it's my party" I can't believe she is already turning 3!

Calvin thought we were celebrating him. He is such a ham for the camera (unlike his sister).

Ella, Jessie, and Emerald had a good time.

Brian is such a good sport.

Nolan, you make a good cowboy!

Reese and Lon look like they are used to smiling for the camera.

We celebrated Emerald's 3rd birthday this weekend. We had a house full of people and smiles all around. Emerald was in heaven playing with her friends. Calvin also enjoyed his time with Reese and Noah. It was funny how he thought we got the balloons for him. Emerald showed her friends her new house and how to drop the snake in the boot. Her cake was "DEEEEEEEEElicious" (thanks again Aunt Heidi)! We feel fortunate to have such wonderful friends and family in our lives. Thanks for helping celebrate with us. Sorry to post so many pictures, but I could't decide which ones I liked best.

This weekend we had Nana & Pop Pop here, then Grandma came for the week. Grandpa comes Thursday and Nana will come back next weekend. Pop Pop is here for the week, too, helping with Jeff's roof, and then helping us with our fence. It is a house full and we love it! It is finally warming up outside. That fence will be up just in time to let the kids and dog outside to play in the beautiful weather.
