Billie's First Birthday


Eating her Elmo cake.

Running to daddy.

Billie wasn't sure what to think when everyone started singing Happy Birthday to her.

Yummy!

Daddy ordered Billie's cake and he wasn't sure about the sizes, so we ended up with a cake that could feed 80 people! We cut it in half and sent half of it to daycare for Billie to share with her friends.



Two Front Teeth



Presley has now lost her two front teeth! It is the cutest thing. She talks funny now. I hope it takes awhile before her "big" teeth come in. She did much better this time with her tooth coming out. It actually fell out during the night. She woke us up at 3:00 in the morning and said that it just fell out in her bed. She was so excited!

Spaghetti





Billie is our best eater right now. She will eat anything you put in front of her. She also wears everything she eats!!


Presley's First Day of First Grade


Presley walking down the first grade hall.

Presley and her teacher, Ms. Rinehart.

She wanted me to take her picture outside, so that I wouldn't embarrass her around her friends. She should have known that I wouldn't stop with one picture!

Water Park






We took the girls to the water park at Fort Jackson again this year. Uncle Preston went with us to hang out with Presley. Billie loved the water! She would crawl around in the sprinkler section and let the water splash her in the face. Emmerson enjoyed the baby slide and the big kid slide. She is brave! Presley was able to go on the biggest slide this year even though she was still a little too short. Uncle Preston talked the worker into allowing her to go down it. We had a wonderful day and can't wait to go back again next year!



Presley Lost Another Tooth



Presley lost her third tooth! It was a very long process because she did not want us to pull the tooth. She was very dramatic with the first two that she lost, so we decided to wait until it just fell out on its own. Presley was upstairs taking a bath while we were bathing Emmerson and Billie downstairs. We heard her screaming and Bill started running towards the stairs. Presley was on her way down with blood all over her chin. She was screaming!! Bill asked her what was wrong and in between screams she said "my tooth". It took awhile to get it to stop bleeding and there was a trail of blood down the stairs! When she finally calmed down she said that she had a washcloth in her mouth and when she took the washcloth out, a string got caught on her tooth and pulled it out. We thought it was funny, but she didn't agree!!
