Halloween

I think what Emma is saying here is, "I'm smiling! I'm smiling! Take the picture already so I can go get some candy!"

Belle went door to door...

We barely made it down one street before Emma said she was done. When I asked her why she didn't want any more candy she said, "because if I get too much it might make me sick!" Wow. I wish I had that will power! So home we went...

Best Birthday Party Ever!

The jury is still out on whether Emma or Mommy had more fun!

Aunt heather led Emma on Teddy, the sweetest pony!

More birthday at the barn!

Time to test out the hayride!

Uncle Louis gives it his seal of approval.
Jager finally got to meet Doc. I think he likes riding!

Emma's 4th Birthday party

This year Emma wanted to have her birthday party at the barn. Mommy told her that since the barn is far from home most of her friends probably wouldn't come. But she still wanted to celebrate her 4th birthday with Doc. Ummm....Mommy was VERY wrong! Over 20 kids came to help Emma celebrate! Oh, so did this cat!

Emma helped Melvin call in the horses.
Melvin drove the tractor for the hay ride.
