Weekend Fun

We've had a great weekend.  Linda (Bert's mom) flew up on Thursday morning and my parents drove up late Friday night for a quick trip.  It's been a busy, fun weekend. 

Emily is very talkative these days.  I'm going to be posting a list of all her favorite words soon, so look for that.  She loves telling people "HEY!"  She's so excited when she says it, it almost comes out as a yell.  I can't tell you how many times she told her Grandmama "hey" over the last few days.  Every time she would walk into a room she would say "HEY" like she was SO excited Grandmama was still there to play!:) 

We all went to a medical fundraiser for a girl in Katherine and Brett's youth group on Saturday night.  They had a silent auction, live auction, great food, play things for the kids, and the weather could not have been more perfect.  We had a great time!  Here Emily is jumping with her Daddy.  She definitely needed a little help.  We caught it at a time when no one else was in there, but as soon as some big kids came to jump Emmy had to get out.  

Linda was so sweet to bid on a couple items for her kids at the silent auction...and she WON both items!:)  She gave me a manicure and Alison and Stephen an oil change.  Thanks Linda!:) 

Taking a walk with Uncle Stephen and Daddy.  Emily's still not very good at saying Stephen.  She has said it for us once or twice, but most of the time she won't try.  Stephen's a good sport about it, and she'll get it soon enough.:) 

Drinking some milk with Grandmama.  Emily loves looking at pictures.  She likes to tell us who is in the picture.  Grandmama even let her walk around with her camera some this weekend.  That's definitely a privilege that she only gets while Gradmama is here.  We don't let her near ours right now.:)  

 We went over to Katherine and Brett's to watch the GA game after we got back from the fundraiser.  The game started at 4:30, but they Tivo'd it so we just watched it a little later than everyone else.  I love watching my husband watch Georgia football games.  He'll be so excited and then so frustrated all within what seems like 2 minutes.:)  Love him!!!  I asked Linda to take a picture for us and just as she was snapping the picture Bert looked away b/c something happened in the game that he "needed" to see.:) 

Take two...I love this man!:)  

Emily and Grandmama reading books and looking at pictures.  

Emily probably says "Up, please!" about a million times a day.  If you are sitting on the floor with her she'll still say "up, please!"  She means that she just wants you to hold her.  She'll usually let you hold her for about 2.5 seconds and then she's off to the next activity.  Silly girl.:)  

We had a birthday celebration for Linda and Stephen last night.  Linda's birthday was Sept 6th and Stephen's is Sept 15th.  Alison made them an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. cake!!  I must get the recipe! 

Happy Birthday Linda and Stephen! We're so thankful for y'all!
