Monique and Levi came up for Emma's birthday party last saturday, which was perfect weekend. We couldn't have asked for better weather. The kids played outside most of the day, sunday as well. Emma got a bubble machine for her birthday, which they really enjoyed playing with on sunday. We also went to the park and let the kids play and they had such a good time. Here are some pictures from last weekend:

Happy Birthday Emma! Emma is now three years old....we were excited for her but sad at the same time. Time goes by so fast we wish we could keep her young, polite, and innocent forever:) There is alot however to look forward to in our future. So, I surprised her yesterday at lunch with Princess balloons and gummy bears. She was really excited and happy. She loves balloons. Then, last night she wanted to wear "a gown"! She wanted pizza for dinner so we invited Nana and Grandma Sheila over to eat. Since I am making a cake for her party on saturday, I decided to have ice cream sandwiches which she dunked in sprinkles..she thought that was fun. Then she opened her present which was a Hannah Montana singing doll and microphone. She loved it. She liked it even more when she opened a present from Grandma and Grandpa Burns which was a Miley Doll and another microphone:) We think alike mom:) So, she got to play for awhile and then we left to watch dad play basketball. She took her new hannah and miley dolls with her. The downside...we didn't get to watch Steven play much because she found a class of people who were taking Flamenco dancing and had to watch....she really loves to dance. On our way home she fell asleep in the car...needless to say, she had a good day.

Emma is Growing Fast



Here are some new pictures of Emma (and me). Lindsey does a great job of keeping Emma busy with creative activities that she really enjoys. The second is just Emma being cute and the third is her and I excercising together. I set both of our "carbon fiber race bikes" up so we could get a workout as we watched Noggin together. She can participate in anything she wants to as she gets older but I hope Lindsey and I are doing a good job of setting a good example for her to be fit, healthy, creative and artistic. That being said, I really think she is going to make a helluva triathlete.

SIERRA GRANDE LODGE AND SPA

Lindsey and I had our second visit here recently. It's such a neat place with a very relaxing atmosphere. It was a nice way to end the Christmas Break and get us ready for the second half of the school year. It's all downhill from here :)
