Happy Birthday Emma Kate!

I can't believe it, but Emma Kate turned two yesterday. The last two years have passed so quickly! We had a great birthday party and Emma Kate loved having her friends over to celebrate. This morning when she got up she kept singing "happy birthday to me". We had such a fun time with all of our friends and missed those that couldn't make it. I am going to post some pictures of the party and also of the fun week we have had with Gran Gran and Daddy Steve. Matt's parents came last Sunday and left today. One of the main reasons they came was to help us out after Matt had hernia surgery. His surgery went well and we were really happy to have Gran Gran and Daddy Steve here to help us. The week flew by with lots of activities. We miss them already and can't wait until we get to see them again soon. Gigi and Daddy Mac got Emma Kate this picnic table for her birthday. It is perfect and we couldn't have had the party without it!
We had butterfly and flower cupcakes. They were great and I didn't have to make them! Yay!

We are so excited to have Ali and Mikey back in town!


Dan and Ethan have a relaxed time at the party
What a great family picture!

Mason thought he was such a big boy in this car. Anytime it would stop he would try and stand up and rock back and forth trying to get it to move again.


Gran Gran made this cute dress for Emma Kate. She loved it and didn't want to take it off!

We haven't been doing a whole lot of new or exciting things. The kids are growing up so fast and we have progressed into a good routine of eating and naps. We also have our playgroups and lunchdates that keep us busy. Ela came to play for a few days last week and ever since then Emma Kate asks me multiple times throughout the day if "Ena goes my house?"
Mason is sitting up pretty well and eating A LOT! He loves food and is most always a bottomless pit. Emma Kate is into everything and very preoccupied with the potty. She is showing interest in the potty and we have made several attempts but she isn't quite ready to go full steam ahead. She is very independent and I am sure, as with everything else, she will tell me when she is ready.

I can't believe that Emma Kate will be turning two at the end of the month. It just doesn't seem possible. I am going to post pictures now because I think that nap time is coming to an end!
