Still no camera

My camera is still missing so I have resorted to using the old one. Here are a few highlights of the last couple months.



This is from Trey's birthday. I can't believe he is 4 years old. However, he refused to be 4 until we sang Happy Birthday and he blew out the candles on his cake. Funny kid!

These are a few pictures I took on Easter Sunday. Keith was already at work when the kids got ready for church. So these were for his benefit.




My sweet Emma.



Trey insisted on holding the basketball he got in his Easter basket.


Of course there is slober on Trent's shirt! He even had a bib on until just before I took the pictures.

Trey's trip to the Emergency Room

Last week we were at Keith's Mom and Dad's trying to plan our trip to Rudd's wedding with Alice and Trey was running around as usual. He was barefoot and slipped on the tile and did a Superman dive into the leg of the barstool. He of course cried, I picked him up and I thought everything was okay until he moved his hand away from his eye and he had a gaping wound over his eyebrow that immediately started gushing blood. Alice's nursing instincts took over and we got pressure on it long enough to slow the bleeding and Keith and I left Emma and the baby with Alice so we could take Trey to get it stitched up. I wasn't looking forward to that, but I lucked out and they were able to glue the wound shut with Dermabond. It is awesome!! I guess I need to get used to it. It's my understanding that boys are pretty rough and this kind of thing is bound to happen again. Trey took this picture of himself. I thought it was funny, but it showed his cut pretty well.

Kudos to Emma!!

Emma has excelled in her new school this year and I am so proud of her. First of all, Emma competed in a district wide writing contest. The students were given a choice of 2 topics and then they were given 2 hours to write a story. Emma recieved 4th place for her age level in the entire district. Pretty awesome for a girl who complained and cried everytime she was given a writing assignment!

And Emma is going to have a poem she and a couple of other classmates wrote, published in a book this year. Their poem was sent in by the school and was selected by the publication to have their poem included. What an awesome opportunity for her!

I am so glad to have a daughter! I Love You Emma!
