Spring Break!!!

Avery had a whole week off from school for "Spring Break" or "Easter Break" or something like that ... we had tons of fun times together ...

 Emery loving that Avery can do fun things during the week

with her instead of going to boring old school!!!

 There was arts n' crafts Emery and Sora go to 

where Avery and Chiara could come along too ...

... and pool parties during the weekdays ...

 ... and fun times at the mall ...

 ... and hanging out with Avery's class outside of school ...

 ... with long drives to see the ostrich farm ...

 ... and birds that will eat right out of your hand ...

 ... tons and tons of great times with best friends 

(Chiara and Harper)!!!

 Then at the end of the week it was time for an Easter 

Egg hunt at Grandma Wendy & Grandpa Charlie's house ...

 ... Emery amazed herself with her keen egg finding abilities ...

 ... but Avery wasn't really all that impressed!!!

 There were tons of great new toys and books 

from the Easter Bunny and all the Grandparents ...

 ... and as usually, someone had a boo-boo!!!

And at the end of the super fun week together, 

Emery and Avery just wanted some alone time 

before Avery had to go back to school!!!

One Fish, Two Fish, Three Fish, Four ...

Today, Avery and I had a very VERY important task ... to help Mommy find some great fishies!!!

Emery and Mommy heading out to the fish store ...

... so many fishes, so many conflicting opinions,

  so little time for compromise ...

 

... but we did it anyway!!! We use common sense and pure reason 

to come up with the perfect fish tank equilibrium algorithm!!!

And my how well they all get along together ... 

even Buddha still enjoys the peaceful atmosphere ... 

... along with that big bad sucker fish!

They all purely enjoy the pleasant company!!!

Happy Morning To You!!!

Reading Is Super Fun!!!

Emery really loves to read ...

 ... and listen to new stories at story-time with all her friends ...

... especially when she gets to meet her favorite author!!!

The Very Fashionable Emery Lucille ...

 Emery always loves dressing up and posing for pictures, 

no matter if she's on the go out to somewhere ...

 ... or twirling around and around and around ...

 ... or just lounging on huge turtles ...

 ... or playing all over a playground ...

 ... or backpacking out to somewhere ...

 ... or getting her groove on with a good beat ...

... or while having a yummy snack ...

... she just loves loves loves to strike-a-pose and smile smile smile!!!

Rocks-for-sale, Super Cheap Prices!!!

One day while we were playing at Grandma Wendy's house, we realized that there was a huge commodity just lying all around under our feet ... tons and tons of ROCKS everywhere!!! So Avery and I jumped in to action ...

Emery and Avery building up their Rock Store inventory  ...

... and our very first customer was actually someone 

that had a vested interest in out profitability 

(remember we were actually using Grandpa Charlie's rocks) ...

... and then our second customer had a similar vested interest 

in our business model ... Mommy, just GO HOME!!!

Emery and Avery re-evaluating their master business plan, 

when Emery all of the sudden came up with a great idea!!!

Everybody loves music, right?!?!? 

So let's bring in the customers by playing some great music ...

... master piano player Emery tickling the ivories!!!

And as Emery played and played and played, 

the customers came mesmerized from everywhere!!! 

Even our good friends like Joan and Bob made 

their long trek from the far off lands of California!!!

Giddy-up and Go, Go, Go, Sparky!!!

We have been very very busy lately practicing our riding techniques on good-ol' Sparky .... in fact, sometime we ride him so hard that he needs a long break from us for a few weeks! We love him oh so much, but will always ride on anyone else who is gracious enough to let us jump up onto and go for a ride!!!

Avery turning out Sparky's barn-mate, Tucker ...

... all while continuing her constant great riding form!!!

Emery's turn to get up on Mr Tucker and 
get him moving really really REALLY fast!!!

 But even Tucker can't handle all the needs 
of these crazy wild kids!!!

 Avery spending some down time riding 
neat mechanical horses!!!

 But when Sparky is as good as new, 
there is a true bond between him and these kids!!!

Avery all fancy and dressed up

 for a super long ride on Sparky!!!

Emery also likes to find other horses to ride, but 
needs some major help handling Erin's big ol' Mr Beau!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Happy Valentines Day To Everyone!!!

We had the best Valentines Day ever! We decorated the whole house, made presents for everyone we love, and ate the best food with truly great people (Mommy and Daddy). What more can you ask for??? 

Hanging with Hayley ...

Emery and Hayley hanging out and having fun 

while waiting to pick up big sis A!!!

It's always a fashionable "double trouble Blue Steel" 

moment after picking up big bad sister Avery ... 

... and continuing all that momentum forward to a 

picturesque lake-view photo-shoot!!!

Emery again ready the next day to storm the fashion 

world while picking up her big sister!!!
