ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Hope everyone is enjoying the first offical weekend of "College Football". I got a few snaps of EG modeling her Alabama dress. She told her daddy this morning "She was going to say War Eagle" like her Aunt Tonya. Funny.. We used to torture Tonya and Micheal by getting their kids to say "Roll Tide". I guess it's true..what comes around, goes around! Anyway, Roll Tide!

Dance and Dress Up!

Emma Grace started her new dance class today. She goes by herself and takes ballet and tap. She did great. When we went to the dance shop last week she picked out this new blue dance attire. She said it was like "Cinderella".




Playing dress up. One of her favorite things to do. Mrs. Amy got her this cute purple crown headband the other day and she loves it! It matched her purple dress so well.

Beach Pics

Since I didn't get any photos of Emma Grace on Destin Beach this year, Randy and I took her to Wrightsville last night to take a few shots before letting her play. She wasn't very cooperative, said she came to the beach to swim!! Anyway, here are the few I got. I miss my friends so much but I love living close to the beach.

Baby Colton

Emma Grace and Baby Colton. She loves him. Thinks he is so cute and fun to chase - no matter where we are!! She doesn't understand why he will not hold her hand while walking like Ollie always would. We are so happy to be able to spend time with Amy and Colt. Amy has been so kind to introduce me to all the baby boutique stores in town. With 2 house payments still, I can't say I have been buying but lots of shopping. Thanks Amy for making my move a little easier.

Thank you God!

Ok, well I don't have a picture of this but I don't want to ever forget this moment. My baby girl is growing up so fast and with another little one soon to arrive, I just want to treasure these sweet moments as long as I can. So, this was EG's bedtime prayer on Friday night:

Thank you God for this day AMEN
and
Thank you God for baby sister named Allie Sophia!

Ok, she has thanked God numerous times for baby sister but never put a name at the end. We have been talking a lot about names since our return from Florida in hopes of picking one, and EG is still consistent with Allie Sophia. We haven't made a definite decision but I can't imagine we can call her anything but. Randy and I keep probing with other names but she keeps saying no, Allie Sophia. Well, when we make a final decision I'll let you all know.

Florida Vacation

Emma Grace and I flew to Flordia last week for the family vacation. It was great to see my family. The weather wasn't great which was probably the best for me. The heat and pregnancy didn't mix well. Emma Grace enjoyed playing with my nieces and boy does she miss them now we're back home! She got to do a lot of things that normally she doesn't. Eat junk, drink Dr. Pepper, skip naps, Big Kahunas water park and the Track. I think we went to the track something like 5 nights in a row. She told Randy she liked the lazy river at the Big Kahunas b/c it made her feel dizzy being lazy!!! She did great on the plane ride. When we got back to Wilmington Monday night, Randy said that Chad Micheal Murray had just deplaned and walked by. We stepped outside and sure enough it was him. One Tree Hill is filmed here so guess we might see them all from time to time. Of course, I called Alison, 16 year old niece, and she went crazy. I am quite surprised Randy even knew who he was. Enjoy the pics.

Emma Grace riding the rides at the Track


Dancing like "Cinderella"
Trying to ride the waves like her cousins! Shortly after she took a fall off the board and didn't get back on!
Even Ninee made the trip and Emma Grace carefully placed him in the seatbelt with her on the plane ride home.
Big Kahuna's Waterpark. This was her in the kiddie section going down the froggy slide. Each year my dad takes all the kids, EG normally doesn't go but this year she insisted, so guess who got to go as well ... Mommy. Daddy owes me next year.

Playing in the sand.
Emily, Alison, Abbie and EG
EG playing polly pocket princesses!
On the plane ride to Florida EG watched Cinderella and sang as LOUD as possible!
