Getting a Christmas Tree

Emmerson wanted to have her picture taken alone.

Our decorated tree!!

Emmerson screamed everytime she opened an ornament. She was so excited!

We picked out our perfect tree in about 42 seconds!

On the hay ride to find the tree.

ARF!

Presley had her first grade music program in November. She was Alphie Aphgan in the play. I had to google the Aphgan dog and it looked quite interesting. Presley was embarrassed because she was wearing BOYS thermal underwear as part of her costume. We were so proud of her during the performance!

Painting My Belly

We decided to decorate my belly about a week or two before Bayla was born. The girls had a great time painting my stomach. They ended up with just as much paint on their hands and faces as they did on my stomach!

Happy Halloween from the Harbert Girls

My mama's mama made Emmerson her clown costume for the pageant Emmerson was in. She is in her 90's, so it took her awhile to make it. My mama decided to make Presley and Billie's costume, so that they could all be clowns for Halloween.

Carving Pumpkins

Emmerson likes to carry around "her" little baby pumpkin.

Billie wanted to eat the inside of the pumpkin.

Presley and I trying to get the stencil on the pumpkin.

Posing with the pumpkins.

The Pumpkin Patch

We couldn't get Billie to cooperate and be in this picture with Emmerson and Presley.


Presley was the only one willing to pose for a picture.

Emmerson is seeing how tall she is!

Billie is a little nervous about standing near the pumpkin.

Presley is getting tall!

SC State Fair

Presley had a special day at the fair with only her parents. We took Emmerson and Billie to daycare, so that Presley could have some important alone time with us. She rode a ton of rides. We watched a magic show and Presley volunteered to be part of it. The show focused on agriculture and Presley was the "pig" on the farm. We had a wonderful day together!

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!

Presley's First Day of First Grade

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!!

Beach Trip

Daddy had fun playing in sand with Presley and Emmerson while Mom chilled out and took pictures!

Emmerson taking a break for some snacks.

Sweet Sisters!

We fed the birds some BBQ potato chips.

Building sand castles and digging holes...

Presley at the Isle of Palms

Presley enjoyed playing in the water and trying to surf.

Laying in the sand and water.

Chillin...

Go Presley!!!!!

Presley had a blast at the beach. She made a few friends on the beach and played so well with Emmerson. She even saw a bunch of starfish on the last day we were there.

Going to Church

Billie was worn out after church.
