Emery's 4th Birthday!

My crazy Emery turned 4 yrs old on Sunday. We are very proud of Emery and her recent accomplishments of potty training which I feared would never happen. Also, she has been better about being more independent and being more helpful. Emery is quite the character and has an infectious laugh and smile. Emery loves all things pink and purple and nearly always insists on having the pink/purple plate, cup, utensil, etc. She loves music and dancing and singing, as you can probably tell from the previous post. She is a good sister usually, when she's not teasing or taking away toys, she's getting better about that as well. Some of Emery's favorite things to do right now are ride her bike, jump on the trampoline, and play with her siblings. Emery has also been a big fan of play dates where we have been able to go swimming at least once a week at friends' houses over the summer. Emery is also enjoying preschool learning lots of new things , riding the bus, and making new friends. She keeps telling me she has a friend named "Sochee", I still don't know if that's really her name, Emery is saying it wrong, or if she made it up, because it sounds like one of her made up names. When Emery gets in trouble, she is quick to reply with a compliment for you. An example of this is..."I like your shirt, Mom!", as if this is going to keep her out of trouble. Emery is a very sweet and funny little girl who surely keeps us on our toes. We love you Emery and we hope you had a very Happy Birthday!

For Emery's birthday we took her out to eat at Cici's Pizza on Saturday since her birthday fell on a Sunday this year. Emery got a cool "monster" birthday card with birthday money from Grandma and Grandpa Fox, Rapunzel from Mom and Dad, birthday card and money from Great Grandma Black, and silly bands, books, and princess toy from Grandma and Grandpa Beebe.

Emery spent most of the time drinking her soda.
Modeling with her pizza.
I'm not sure what that face is, but she loved her Rapunzel doll with Maximus the horse. We let her open her present from Mom and Dad early since Chase would be at work on her birthday.
Silly bands and books.
Princess carriage with people and accessories.
Instead of a birthday cake, we made birthday cupcakes. This is our school of fish :)
