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!
Papou daydreamed of living our west.

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.

Clemson football season 2011

There are lots of football pictures on the blog already so here is a quick overview of our 2011 season of fun. By the way, Emma and Tiger are now best friends!

Team work!

Monkeys in the trees at Hampton Park

We're done with the ducks. Now what?

Family picture time.
Thanks for helping me climb this tree, Yiayia.
Another picture. Mommy and Thea used to climb up this very branch when their Papou brought them here as children.

Emma graciously took a quick picture with Mommy

Tradition dictates that whenever we are in Charleston Emma must have a picture taken in the tree that Mommy used to climb when she was little.

Jager wanted in on this!

Beach Day 2

Yiayia and Emma found something interesting.

Emma is learning to write. She left her "E" in the sand.
Swim time!
Yikes! Water shouldn't go there!
