Pretzels & Sophia

I picked Emma up from school the other day and surprised her by taking her to the mall to get pretzels for a snack. She loves the pretzels and cheese. 

 She loved looking at the water fountain while we ate our snack. Then she threw a few coins into the fountain.

 She has also recently started liking Sophia. She wanted to put her nightgown and necklace on soon after getting home from church today. She takes after me! I am ready to get into some comfy clothes as soon as I can after getting home from work!

My Sweet Girl & My Growing Belly

We went to Atlanta over Spring Break and Emma crashed while we were at the mall after visiting the Aquarium. I sat down with her while Scott ran into Gap. I was 25 weeks pregnant here. 

Then the other day she wanted to wear her Rapunzel dress and lay in my lap while watching TV. I was 27 weeks pregnant in this picture. 

Pretty soon Landon will be poking her in the head while she lays on my lap. He is squirming all around while I am writing this. I can't wait to see her in Big Sister mode!! :)

Camp Out

We came home last night from having Easter at my mom's and Emma wanted her tent. Scott put it up and she laid down on her old crib mattress that we had out getting ready to put it in Landon's nursery. She had it made while watching her movie! 

Easter 2014

We did not get a family picture of us all dressed up this year. :/ Maybe we will do better next year! After church, we went to my mom's house where Scott's dad & family came to eat lunch with all of us. Then we went outside to let Emma hunt Easter eggs. She soon realized NaeNae put coins in some of the eggs and didn't want anything to do with the eggs that didn't make sound when she picked them up. :)

 Emma's friend, Jaxon, came over to play with her and they had so much fun riding the jeep together. Then Emma got brave and drove the jeep for the very first time all by herself. She has had it since Christmas, but has been scared to drive it. She soon realized how much fun it really was to drive!!

Knows Her Daddy's Heart!

This girl knows the way to her daddy's heart! A Braves shirt while also wearing a Red Sox hat is the only way to go!!!! :)

Then the other day, she told Scott she wanted to wear her "B" hat! So of course he put it on her as fast as he could! We have an infant "B" hat for Landon too! :)

Sunglasses & Bag Model

The other morning, Scott sent me these pictures of Emma modeling my tanning bed glasses. I cleaned out my middle console of my car and put them in a bag that I threw on the counter. She found them while Scott was getting her lunch stuff ready. I have not been in a tanning bed since before our wedding in 2008 and have no plans on returning. But I thought these pictures were too cute & funny!

 I have been doing some more monogramming and recently monogrammed some bags for graduation gifts. She was happy to be my bag model so I could send the customer a picture of the finished product!

Easter Bunny

Emma decided on her own this year that she wanted to go visit the Easter Bunny! We have never been able to take her to see Santa or the Easter Bunny because she has been terrified of them. But she kept saying she was ready to go see the Easter Bunny. She had to take Goofy with her for support I guess. :)

We could not take pictures of her with the Easter Bunny, but we did buy a set of prints.

We were so proud of her that she overcame her once fear of them. Just more proof that she is growing up so fast!!

Easter Picnic

Emma & I went to my mom's church for their Easter picnic. The food was so good & a lot of people were creative in their Easter themed food! We met up with our good friends, Iris, and had fun playing with her.

Opening Home Game

Last night was the home opener for the Atlanta Braves. Mom kept Emma so Scott and I could go to the game. Mom got Scott 4 tickets for Christmas so we invited his dad and Susan to go with us. Mom took Emma to dance last night and then they ate their favorite- Mexican food!!

 The Braves did not win, but it was still fun to go and watch them play. 

We got up today and did a little shopping before heading back home!

Georgia Aquarium (& the rest of our trip)

After we left Rock Ranch & ate at Chick-fil-A's dwarf house, we made our way to Atlanta. We did some shopping & ate dinner before heading to our hotel room. Scott & Emma went swimming. It was all fun until Scott cut his foot on the drain at the bottom of the pool. Needless to say, Emma did not want to enter that pool anymore during our trip.

The next morning, we got up and headed to the Georgia Aquarium. She is going to be a map reading girl just like her daddy!!!

We met up with Emma's good friend Jaxon and his family. They enjoyed seeing all of the animals at the aquarium.

They have this huge conveyor belt so you can just stand and look up and all around at the animals swimming over you. Well Emma took that time to 'surf' the entire time we were on the moving belt. She never looked up to see the animals. Haha!!

 We went and did various things around Atlanta after we left the aquarium. The next morning we got ready and checked out of our hotel. We went to Atlantic Station to eat & shop before heading home. Emma was being silly at H&M!!

She wanted to wear my purse just like me as we were leaving! :)

 And it didn't take long before she crashed in the car on the way home!!

It was such a nice getaway!!

Chick-fil-A's Dwarf House

We go out of town and Emma still wants Chick-fil-A! We spent a couple hours at Rock Ranch which is founded by Chick-fil-A, so we told her they probably had their food to eat there. They do serve their food on certain days, but not the particular day we were there. After we left Rock Ranch, we found the Dwarf House and decided to go there after Emma said she wanted their chicken salad. 

She loved going through their little red door!

They serve more food than the normal Chick-fil-A chains at the Dwarf House. Emma got their chicken salad because she loves it so much. Scott just got their chicken sandwich and I got a cheeseburger. It was all good. After our tunnies were full, we were ready to head the rest of the way to Atlanta!

Rock Ranch

We just got back from our Spring Break trip to Atlanta last night. We spent the first part of our trip to Atlanta at Rock Ranch. It is owned by Chick-fil-A owners and it right outside of Thomaston.

Emma rode ponies.

Emma ran all through Tiny Town. It was a town built with a ton of different shops & places to visit on kid level. It was really neat. 

Scott and Emma slid down their 'homemade' slide a bunch of times!

Emma rode in their cow train.

Then we all rested and rode the big train!

We all went on a paddle boat ride.

Then she visit the cow mascot before seeing the petting zoo. 

Then we left and headed further up to Atlanta. We all had so much fun!!
