HULA GIRL!!

We've had a great couple of weeks with lots of swimming and visiting the family! It has been CRAZY BUSY and I will def. post later about all of our adventures, but for now I will leave you with a couple of pictures of my HULA GIRL!!!

A whirlwind of a trip!

We took a quick trip to Rhode Island to visit with Justin's family and I am still tired! Justin's father suffered a stroke a couple of years back and he isn't doing well so Justin wanted to go visit him while we could. Emma had a blast playing with ALL of her cousins and Gus! (Gus was our dog before Emma came along, and we sent him to live in Rhode Island with all the kids.) We had such a great time and I got some really good pics of Emma while we were there!

All of Justin's family laughs at me because I always have bows in Emma's hair, or frilly outfits on her. They say she is def. from the South! So when I broke out the tutu, I thought they were going to fall over laughing! Please remember Justin and his family in your prayers. His father has never really had a good relationship with any of his kids, but it is still hard for them to see him like this. He did come to life when he saw Emma running around. I think I even saw a smile out of him....and Justin too!

I have plenty more to write about, but I hear a little girl calling for her Mommy in the next room!! Can't turn down that voice!! :-) Hope you are all having a blessed summer!

With Love,

Kelli

TuTu CUTE!!! HA

This is another one of my tutu's! As you can tell, Emma

loves playing in them. She wore one to church last Sunday!

I am hoping to get some more pics up soon.

My computer is acting up and I am having a hard time getting the pics

uploaded! UUGGHH....Technology!!

Let me know if you would like a tutu!

I can do any colors you want and any size!

The name of the business is TUTU CUTE!

HA! You gotta love it!

A-Day Game and Quality Time

So we went to the A-Day Game back in April and Emma loved it!

Emma wore her Alabama Tutu that I made her and it was a hit!

Everyone was clapping and yelling for her.

She even did a few twirls for them when they clapped!

She loved looking for Big Al and sitting in Papa's lap eating snacks!

She is definitely a Bama Fan!
Roll Tide!!!!

We also got to spend some quality time with the Grandparents!

Emma spent time at the park with Nana and Papa and I

got to spend time with my grandmother as well!

As you can tell from the pictures....

SHE LOVES THEM!!!!!

She had a blast and still talks about the slide and asks for Nana and Papa!

We had a great time and can't wait to do it again!!

What a month!

I apologize for the month of no posts! It has been a little hectic around here and there has been plenty of things to post about, but honestly, I haven't caught my breath yet! We have had hospital stays, Mother's Day, tutu making, and end of school activities....all which are fantastic stories! Today's post will just be about the hospital stay so I can keep it short! :-)

A couple of weeks ago Emma was just not feeling well at all, and then....the fever! So I took "priss" to the Dr. and he did blood work and gave her a good once over (enter lot's of screaming) and said everything looked fine. Well that was until he got the blood results. Her blood work was a little crazy! He said she looked great but her white blood cell count was high so he wanted her to come back in the next morning and do another stick to check her blood again to see if it was any different!

We came back the next morning and it was still high. She had to get blood drawn from the lab...FUN!!! and it was STILL high! Because this was a FRIDAY he decided he wanted to keep her close and monitor her....so that meant a weekend in the hospital. WOOHOO!!!!

We started our stay with nurses sticking Emma and blowing veins because she was so dehydrated, Emma screaming and crying because she is terrified of all things medical, and VERY uncomfortable furniture to sit/sleep on! We were there from 8:30 Friday morning until 8:30 Sunday night! It was a very long weekend that ended with questions of what was wrong with her NOT being answered, and Emma literally banging on the windows screaming...."OUT....OUT!!"

When we left Sunday night her blood count was back up and she wasn't running a fever! We left with Boo Boo's in our arms and feet from tries for the IV's that we are still hearing about from Emma! But we are home and we are HAPPY to be here!!!

Thank you to all of you for your thoughts and prayers! I will hopefully have more posts soon!

Proof Positive!!!

So I have proof that yes, I do wear something other than jeans and a t-shirt, and I have proof that my husband does exist, and I do have proof that my child, although rather bossy right now, is adorable! We had a wonderful Easter and here are a few pictures to prove my previous points! I hope you enjoy!!!

Easter Egg Hunting

Last weekend we took a trip to NaNa and PawPaw's for an Easter Egg
Hunt and awesome birthday party for cousin Carter! Emma loved every
minute of the visit. It was awesome and here are a few pictures from the
weekend! I hope you enjoy!


"Eeewww mommy...yuck....dirty!!!" But check out that basket! She found
21 eggs!!! Way to go Emma!!!


The Easter Bunny with Emma and Paw Paw! She wasn't going to sit there
by herself!!! She was terrified. It was the only good picture I got! Love it!!!



Here's cousin Carter with Emma! I wish she could play with him more often!!

My favorite picture of all! She was watching the other

kids ride the ponies. She wasn't going to get on one, but

she sure was enjoying watching everyone else!
