Phones, Pictures & Pirates

Yesterday Brian and I finally joined the rest of the world and got smart phones =)  It's a huge change from our old phones, and I can tell you so far i'm loving it!  And I can honestly say that I have not  been on it constantly checking my facebook. 

Before I start about our day, I have to add that I *Dislike* the new blogger.  I want the old one back.  This one just seems more confusing and not as user friendly as the old one.  There i'm done with my short rant.  haha =)

So today Brian got up and brought Emma to school.  And I woke up at....11:30 this morning!  I was super tired, and worked until 2:00 this morning, so it felt soooo good to wake up late.  I did wake up around 7:15 because I heard Emma screaching from the bathroom.  Brian was trying to comb her hair and it must have been super tangled.  Her hair was getting way long and needed to be trimmed badly.  I picked Em up from school and then we headed to the salon to get a trim!

 

 

 

 

She looks so grown up in the last picture!  They did a great job with her hair, and it's much less tangly now =)  Since I now have a smartphone, I had to give the Instagram a try, so these photos are instragams =)  Not sure I love the instagram, but I wanted to try it =)

 

I haven't gone out and taken photos of Emma in a long time, so I wanted to go the gardens at the Univeristy and take some.  So we headed home after the haircut and changed quickly and then headed out for a mini photoshoot =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I pretty much love the one above and below =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I pretty much {heart} all of the pictures.  I can't wait to get some printed and hang them up =)

 

This evening one of the local restaurants in our town was having kids night, and the theme was "Pirates"  and 99 cent kids meals!  We went up there with my sister in law, my 2 nieces and a couple of friends and their daughter.  The kids had a lot of fun.  They had a pirate walking around making balloon animals.  Emma chose a parrot.  And then they got to make pirate hats and eye patches.  And after they ate their dinner they got to decorate their own brownies! 

 

 

 

Tomorrow Emma has another full day of school and then gymnastics!  And then it's the weekend, but my weekend to work.  Happy Friday everyone! =)

Tea Time!

On Sunday, my little Miss Emma turned 6 years old.  I cannot believe it.  We had an amazingly beautiful day for a "Tea Party!"  That's the theme that Emma chose for her birthday this year.  So we'll start out with her Birthday invitations.  I ordered them off Etsy, and I thought they came out super cute!

 

 

I pretty much ran around like a mad woman the morning of her party getting ready for everything.  I headed to the store to pick up all the balloons I ordered, and when I got there none of them were done.  They had put them in the folder for next week.  But thankfully they were able to get them done pretty quickly!

 

 

 

The Birthday girl getting ready for her party!  She was writing out a birthday card for her best friend, who's birthday is the following day!

 

 

 

The tea party all set up waiting for Emma's guests =) 

 

 

 

 

Getting ready to open some gifts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emma got a telescope from Nana & BeeBee!  She was pretty excited about this!! =)

 

 

 

 

 

After opening gifts it was time for "Tea"  Emma was so excited to have a tea party with all

her friends =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was soooo happy as to how her cake, cupcakes & cookies turned out!!  I ordered them from a local bakery, and I would definately order from them again =)

 

 

 

 

 

Brian set up a little photo booth type thing in our backyard, so after their tea & sweets we headed out there for some pictures!

 

 

 

I am in *Love* with this picture!  I think it is just absolutely hilarious!!!

 

 

 

 

 

And of course Brian and I had to get in on it as well! =) 

 

So that is the end of Emma's birthday party.  It was a lot of work getting ready for it, but it was worth it because not only did Emma have a great time, everyone did!  =)
