Emma the Softball Player.

Once there was a little girl named Emma. She decided that she was going to play softball. She was so excited about being on a team.. and her grandma was her coach!! She loved her stripey socks and she loved her pretty pink glove.

During Emma's first game, she went onto the field. She put her glove on her left hand....
And then she switched it to the right!


After standing on the field, she decided to go back to her dancing roots.
And she twirled and twirled.

And she got bored.. and decided to go back to the dance studio! But, she was locked in by the fence.. so she decided to climb over!

Not Really. Well, most of this is true. Just not the climbing over the fence part. That was actually in the beginning. And she did it so she could give me a kiss.

Emma the Tap Dancer.

There is a sweet little girl named Emma. She is five years old and she LOVES to dance. And, as much as she loves to dance, she loves to pose for pictures. She always has a variety of expressions to give her biggest fan - her mommy.

Sometimes she gives the one leg kicked out to the side pose.

Sometimes she sticks her chest out proudly as she poses.

Sometimes she just likes to look in the mirror to see how cute she is.

And, then she travels to the stage to perform and dance with her partner, Mallie.



After the performance is over, she calls her agent... AKA Daddy - and tell him she has finished her show.

Being a star is a hard job.

Big Weekend.

It is such a busy time of year... the kids are all playing a sport (or sports, should I say?) of some kind. It is pretty outside, so the days are long, and the feet are dirty at bedtime. Lots of stinky kids in the house.

My super sweet husband got the camera up and rolling this morning, so I should have some kid eye candy in the next couple of days.

Ballet and Tap are over.. the recital ended great.. because it ended! No, seriously, Emma and Mallie did a great job.

Emma sung at Ladies Day at our church - all by herself! It was so cute.

I have a final coming up this week and the bad one is next week. Then, I have a WHOLE MONTH before summer semester starts.

I will post some pictures later.
