We have been busy having fun and enjoying the beautiful weather down here in Tennessee. Baby Paige is getting bigger every day and we are having lots of fun playing together. A few times this week we have spent playing in our rec room downstairs with the toys we don’t see too often. One night daddy helped me build a fort, it is so cool, Mommy even let me eat my lunch in it the other day!
Mommy has been getting back into the swing of things after being away on vacation for 5 days! I kept begging her to take us to the park so finally on thursday we got to go and it was a beautiful day we had lots of fun! Here I am driving a fire truck at the park, so cool!!!
Look at us big girls, sitting on a swing together…I like that Paige and I can sort of play with one another, the bigger she gets the better it gets! Mommy even tried to take a picture of all three of us, she made a good attempt…
Check out the cool pics mommy took of me on the slide, I think this is one of my favorite slides at the park. Look at my crazy hair, it is standing on end due to something mommy calls “static electricity”, sure!
This past Sunday was the start of the 2010-2011 college football season and along with that comes the football party’s. Mommy rummaged through our clothes to find something orange in colour for Paige and I to wear and we went over to the Green’s house to watch the Tennessee Vols first game, they won 50 to 0, not bad!!! I must say that I didn’t watch too much of the game but I did have fun playing with all of my friends and with the Battel Families duck, yes a duck…they got it at the fair.
Look at Paige and her boyfriend Grant, just hanging out together, so cute!
Jason spent the past two weeks redoing his garage, he decided to go all the way and paint it in the Tennessee Vols colours – Orange and White. It looked really nice he did a great job!
Check out one of the twins, I think it is Sophia but I am not too sure, I still can’t tell them apart. They were both dressed as cheerleaders! Paige even got into the football spirit and put on my Tennessee Vols pyjamas that I got when I was her age, she looked adorable in them!
Now last night we did something I have never done before…we went to the Drive-In. We saw the movie Despicable Me and I loved it. I enjoyed the whole experience, I can’t believe we got to sit outside and in the back of our minivan and watch a movie, so neat!
I definitely want to go to the drive in again and I think baby Paige also enjoyed it. She stayed awake for the whole movie and didn’t even cry!
This morning when we woke up we decided it was such a beautiful day that we should go on a family hike. Daddy got on his iPad and starting looking up places to go, we ended up going to the Cherokee National Forest’s Watagua Dam. It was gorgeous….we hiked, Mommy and I swam in the lake (something else I have never done before) and we found a geocache. It was a very fun day!
I told Mommy and Daddy that I would really like to find a turtle on this hike like we did last time and within just a few minutes we came across a turtle, it may not have been real but it was a turtle!!! Looks like someone lost their floatie…
We may not have seen a real life turtle but we did end up seeing a duck and it swam right over to us. I think it was because I was quacking at it and trying to say Hello!
When we finished our hike and swimming we went on our geocache treasure hunt. This time I got two dice that are clear and blue in colour and I left behind one of my little stuffed dog toys from McDonald’s. I really like going on these geocache treasure hunts!
Last but not least here are a few pics of Paige and I in the bath, we both love taking baths and we now get to take them together since Paige is a little bigger.
Well I better get to bed because tomorrow is my first day back at pre-school and I can’t wait. I have a new teacher, her name is Mrs. Rita and she is really nice. I also have lots of new classmates including the twins Ava and Sophia, I think we are going to have lots of fun this year.
Love y’all,
Emmie and Paige
