Emily was invited to Abby’s “Tea & Toes” 4th BD party yesterday afternoon.  Here she is running to the door totally excited!

Happy Birthday Abby!!! 

Emily chose a green dinosaur to be painted on her face

Instead of dipping her toes in the water prior to her pedicure, she preferred to just stand in the container

She really enjoyed this part!!

She was wearing her simple new black Janie & Jack dress with a pretty white bow

She kept saying, “Hee.  Hee.”

Emily chose a pretty purple color

This was her very first pedicure at 3 years old

She remained still & was very patient through the whole process

Cute butterfly tatoos were added at the end

Then came the beautifully decorated pink cupcakes

WOW!  These were some gorgeous cupcakes!

Happy 4th Birthday, Abby!

Christian, Cameron & Max hanging out & having fun yesterday

Emily received her Green Ribbon at her swim lesson on Tuesday afternoon!  She has progressed from Rainbow to Green!   Next level is Blue.  Max & Christian are “Blues” currently.

A Green Ribbon is awarded when a child is able to hold their breath, submerge (face down) and swim a short distance comfortably and happily using dog paddle and kicks!

She was very happy about receiving her Green Ribbon!  Congratulations Emily!!

These are some drawings that Emily made for Kathy (a.k.a. “Christian’s Mom”).  Emily loves Kathy!  When she names her friends she always mentions “Kathy”. 

Max had a Lemonade Social today at his new school, Almaden Country School (ACS)

Tomorrow will be his first day of Junior Kindergarten

Max & Luke playing with the classroom pet

Sweet calico “Patches” hides for a reprieve from all the kids wanting to pet her

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend at Disneyland & California Adventure

The Sheraton Shuttle to Disneyland was pretty exciting for the kids, but …

meeting Bouncy Tigger was even better!

Emily got to meet & talk to Ariel for a few minutes. 

She was able to ask her some questions so she asked her about her Daddy.  Emily remembers Triton from the book.  It was very sweet!  Emily asked Ariel, “Where’s Your Daddy?” 

She also got to meet the beautiful princess from Princess & The Frog … Princess Tiana.

And … Jasmine!  Emily didn’t know Jasmine so she was a bit shy in meeting her.

Enjoying her time at Disneyland

Jumping around and having fun in the park

Wallace carrying Max through the park.  Great abs, Max! 

Very content hanging upside down

Max helping Emily cross a rope bridge in California Adventure

Emily got to meet some very friendly bears

Emily also got to meet Woody!  She was very “into” meeting the characters.

We wanted to take them back on Monday morning (Labor Day), but they were totally exhausted!  We stayed at the park until 11:00pm the night before.  Wallace & I wore them out!  It was great to see Disney through their eyes.  Looking forward to taking them again soon!

Emily’s 1st day back @ Little Oak Preschool as a Green Frog.  She is going two 1/2 mornings per week.

Max gives Emily a hug

Welcome Green Frogs!  Emily will be following in Max’s footsteps as a Green Frog (one of the 3 year old classrooms).

The cute green frog on the front door

There are 3 Emily’s in The Green Frog classroom so they have to differentiate therefore Emily C.

The class pet … a turtle!

Her name is Princess Shelly

Emily points to Princess Shelly.  She is a snapping turtle therefore the tape on the top of the cage.  Not the greatest pet choice!    LOL!
