Jesus Loves Me

Emma takes choir on Wednesday evenings. Her class sang Jesus Loves Me for the entire fellowship hall this past Wednesday. It happened to be St. Patty's Day. Here they are in all their green glory:

Family Night #5: Bunny Night

We started off the evening going to a local pet shop that featured a petting zoo.

Emma instantly fell in love with this fuzzy yellow chick. Notice her hands in the following photos...

The 45 lb bunny. Probably doesn't do too much hoppin'.

The cutest lamb ever...

Emma wanted to bring that chick home with us.

We came home and did some Bunny crafts, door-sign, dot-to-dots, coloring pages....

Then, we ate Bunny Dinner. What do bunnies have for dinner, you may be asking yourself....

These bunnies ate salad and carrot soup. Bunny cupcakes for dessert.

The most exciting event by far was the flashlight Easter egg hunt. The event starts at sunset and the children bring flashlights. They only allow a set number of participants and they hid the eggs (as opposed to scattering them over a baseball field). Emma was delighted.


At the end of the night, a newspaper photographer asked if he could take Emma's picture. When he walked away, Emma said, Mommy, was that a paparazzi? I told her that he sure was. She smiled and said, Wow, I can't believe a paparazzi just took my picture. Wonder if there are any more?

HA!

Emma's 4 Year Stats

Emma had a 4 year old well check today. See stats below:

Weight: 40.4 lbs - 85 percentile
Height: 40 inches - 57 percentile

Vision Perfect
Hearing Perfect

She also had to receive 4 shots (Tetanus, MMR, Polio, and Chicken Pox Vaccines). The nurse demonstrated how to give Emma a "special hug" during the shots, aka death hold, so as I was gripping Emma, who was screaming, I asked the nurse "How many?" indicating that I wanted to know how many shots she had already given. Miss Emma thought that I was asking her to count the shots aloud, so she agonizingly yelled 'One, Two, Three, Four' as they were going in. Poor sweet angel baby. I hate shots too!

Emma's Fourth Birthday

Emma and her cousins - Nathan and Kayla

Emma's 4th birthday party was at her gym where she takes gymnastics. We almost didn't have the party because it snowed a ton on Friday. But thankfully, most of the roads were clear and we went ahead with the party as scheduled. Everyone made it except for one.



This is Emma and her boyfriend Luke. They are so stinking cute!



This was called the 'Moon Bounce'......



But it was more like a human slingshot.


Make a wish baby girl~

Ten minute car ride --- OUT!

Happy Hedgehog Day

I picked Emma up from school today and she proudly announced:

Mommy, we watched the CUTEST little hedgehog on Miss Tracy's computer. He was so furry and cute!
