Emily's Easter Progam

My big four year old girl.

(tears flowing)

She sang so pretty in all her little songs

best "spinning dress EVER!

Are we done now Mommy?

Temple date

Nathan and I went down to the Columbia temple on Friday for date night

It was so nice to escape the craziness of life and just feel the peace

the temple brings.  

Here are a few I snapped in and around the temple grounds. 

A Swingin' good time!

She's eating her grape....it's a very serious matter.

I coulndn't decide if i liked it in color or b&w better

what do you think?

And here we have Emily's little friends!

couldn't decide between these two of this little guy

Pizza party at the park!

My friend Leslie! She's just chillin with her yellow pinwheel 

(it's her favorite color)

She's such an amazing friend....

How fun will that be! Friend shoots with all they mean to me!

Spring walk

Most of the things i care for everyday

Spring is so pretty in NC

I wish it lasted longer.

popcorn popping on the bradford pear tree!  

puddle jumpin' fool

After the rain let up Emily was dying to get on her rainboots 

and have a good splash or two

She is currently obsessed with her umbrella and playing

in the rain.

Get ready puddle

Here I come!

Sister time

So the whole reason I got Asterid started as I was 

helping Tina find a puppy.  

I found this sweet little face.. (on the left)

Her name is Akira, she's such a pretty girl.

Tina and I have always said we'll be related one day.

Now we are! We have puppy sisters!!

Getting the two to sit still for a picture though was darn near impossible.
