The chase is on!!

The kids and I felt well enough to get out of the house today and go to the pool (thank God!). They came in to contact with my friend who found out that she had strep throat. I was telling her how Ethan kept complaining of a tummy ache on Sunday and she told me to check his throat because that is a sign of strep in young children. Low and behold, puss pockets! I called their doctor and he put them both on antibiotics. We did go to the pool late yesterday evening, but didn't stay long. I thought I was coming down with it as well, but I'm feeling pretty good now. Oh, by the way, I know my kids are very dark, but I swear I put tons of sunscreen on them!

I have put one video of Emerson chasing Ethan around the couch. He loves being chased even though he does about 3 laps around her! She also loves pushing him in her car. The faster he goes, the tighter she hangs on!

Playtime after church....

Or some of church rather...Ethan didn't feel well this morning, so we actually ended up leaving church early. He kept saying that his tummy hurt. He seems to be feeling better, although he still hasn't eaten breakfast or lunch. If he thinks he's going to miss playtime with Drew, he miraculously gets better! Emerson's morning nap was messed up since she normally takes her nap in church, so hopefully she'll nap most of the afternoon...not likely!

A morning with the Moore's...

Where's your nose? Ah, forget it.

Even though Ethan looks less than thrilled in these pictures, he is the who wanted me to take them to show his daddy. He got dressed up in silly clothes and his ear muffs from the monster truck show. The video is self explanatory. Of course Emerson would not show us where her nose is, but do they ever when you're trying to video them?

A few more...

I went to Sam's Club on Emerson's birthday to have all of my pictures printed so I could delete my memory card for her party. The pictures in the web album are some that I didn't have a chance to post on here. My sister designed a really cute t-shirt for Emerson to wear on her birthday, so she wore it the first half of the day. I've written captions in some of the other pictures.

Beach Bound!

My mom ended up staying the week with us, which was really nice. The kids pretty much forget that I exist when she's around, which is also nice for a little while!! We went to Holden Beach for the first part of the week (one night), although I didn't take any pictures while we were there. Then on Thursday morning, we went to Myrtle Beach, SC. The weather was very cooperative, thank God. It rained on Saturday as we were leaving. My mom and RT took Ethan miniature golfing and he LOVED it. I had to put Emerson to sleep, so I wasn't able to go with them. I'm sad that Chris and I were not able to watch his first time golfing! We'll have plenty of opportunity for that though!

Happy 1st Birthday Emerson!

My little baby girl celebrated her first birthday on Saturday. We had a cookout at our house. Everything went well. Emerson could have cared less about opening gifts of course, so I was left to open them. All of the other children took turns opening her gifts. There are lots of pictures and one video in the web album.
