Happy Birthday Emmie!

Dear Emerson (Ems, Emmie, Zoom, Zoomie, Little Zoom),

You are something else!!  You make us laugh every day.  You are so funny and also super strong willed!  Makes for quite the combination.  You are going to school at Edison Park this year and you are with Charlie and a bunch of new friends.  Ella and Brynley are your best friends.  You love to dance and sing and take after Maddie in many ways.  You two are super close sisters and you play well together.  You absolutely ADORE baby Mack!  You can't get enough of him and think he is the cutest baby ever.  You also love your baby dolls and are a good "mommy" to them.  You enjoy taking long baths and play with your Barbies in the bath.  You tell me that you want to be a mommy when you grow up.  In some ways you are older than your age because you want to keep up with Maddie and Dane.  You watch what they watch and want to do what they do.  You do enjoy Team Umi Zoomi and Barbie movies and will pick out those DVD's to watch in the car.  In other ways, you want to stay the baby and love being held.  You've learned to ride a bike without training wheels and you are quite coordinated.  You love books and enjoy picking them out from the library.  You are into Pete the Cat books, Disney books and are starting to get into Fancy Nancy.  You are great at coloring and love making pictures.  You are getting great at your letters and we are working on reading.  You also enjoy cooking and baking with me and like to help out most of the time.  You are good about getting rid of things that you don't play with anymore and you don't like when your room gets messy.  You often tell Maddie that she is the messiest (and that's correct)!  You are a very loving girl and you love to cuddle.  We are very proud of you Miss Emmie!!!!

Happy 8th Birthday Dane

Dear Dane (Train, The Train, Bro, D-Train),

Happy birthday to my determined, caring, creative,  kind, mature, silly, intelligent boy.  You are loving 2nd grade and are with a bunch of new friends.  You are into reading books about sports and are naturally good at math.  Flag football is new to you this year and you absolutely love it.  You are on Team Alabama with Coach Eli.  You've spent many recesses playing football with your friends, so you were so ready to get out there and play.  You have good hands and love being QB.  You are a kind brother to your sisters although you and Emmie can get into it in both fun and funny ways.    You like to create things and you get ideas that are totally original.  You sport your pink shoes in basketball and everyone takes notice of you and you own it.  This year you spent your birthday in St. Louis on our way to Big Cedar Lodge/Table Rock Lake/Branson.  You loved having time with your buddy, Conlin.  You wanted a football party for your birthday, so that is what we had!  You had many great ideas, split the teams and it was super fun!  All the boys came back for Papa Johns Pizza and long john donuts from Dunkin Donuts - your choice of course!

We could not be more proud of you for so many reasons.  We love you so so much Dane Train!!!!!!
