Time For Tea!!!!

Today was an exciting day for us! It was Alli and Emery's first time to go to a Tea Room. My brothers wife (aunt Lindsay) is in town from Colorado and wanted to take the girls to Inspiration's Tea Room. We met Lindsay, Kristen(Lindsay's twin) and Kelly (Lindsay's mom). It was lots of fun and the Girls had a great time!!! I took lots of pictures!!!

Sister Love!!!! I love it!

The Girls are all dressed and ready to go!

Here we are!!!


Alli wanted to take a pic of me and Emery! I was trying to contain her so she would not break all the Tea sets! HA!!

Alli with Aunt Lindsay. Alli misses her sooo much and has been really excited to see her!




These cute little(yummy) heart shape scones were on the table when sat down!

Emery could not wait to try it out!!

Obviously she LOOOVED it!

The group shot!

Alli got the "princess Ashley" lunch!

It was the cutest thing ever!!!

This was my yummy lunch! This tea room is Christian owned so every meal comes with a Bible verse card on it! It is so great!!!

What is better than a pink cupcake?!!!

Alli was sitting on Kristin's lap. I think she came down off her sugar high!!

Emery wanted to hold this doll that was as big as she was!!

Me and my girlies!!!

Me and my funny little Alli who is such a girly girl!

I always dreamed of the day when I would be able to take my girls to do stuff like this! It is even better than I imagined! I am one BLESSED Mommy.

Alli Ballerina and the Bag Lady!!!

Today was a big day in the life of Alli Cristina! She had her first DANCE CLASS!!! She was so excited......she has been waiting for this day a long time. She is in the same class with her cousin Lauren and three of her best buddies from church. They were so cute when they saw each other. It was really precious!!! Alli had fun even though she said "it was such hard work!"

These pictures below are of my little bag lady! She seriously walked around the house for 30 minutes carrying all these bags and purses. (I think she is already like her mama...she likes to accessorize!) Emery just started walking and thinks she is soooo big.

Emery also likes to wrinkle her nose when I take a picture. It cracks me up!!

Still walking!!!

The girls and I played outside for a while before nap time today. I just had to get a couple pics!!!

I am going to try my best to blog a lot more. I have strict orders from Aunt Lindsay! My brother and his wife just moved to Colorado. They still want to keep up with what the kids are doing so I really am going to try to be better about it!!!

Off to Preschool!!!!!

This week was our first week back to preschool! When I say "0ur", I mean ME and the Girls! Last year I took the year off teaching music since Emery was a newborn. This year I started at a new Preschool that is 2 days instead of 3. It is just perfect! Even better is the fact that I teach half day and then I have a little alone time while Alli and Emery finish their day at school. We had a great first week and the girls LOVE their teachers! Emery did not even look back when I dropped her off. To tell you the truth she wasn't even all that excited when I picked her up! I guess she is miss independent!!! Miss busy body even slept on her nap mat! ( I am very impressed with her teachers for that one. She is only 13 months and has always slept in a crib!!) We are looking forward to a fun year. Here are some pics of the first day.

My Baby Boy is in Kindergarten!

Last Thursday was my baby boy's first day of kindergarten! I cannot believe how big he is. It seems like it was just the other day that he was born. I am so proud of Hunter! He is such a sweet boy. Alli, Emery and I miss him while he is gone all day but I know he is having a great time and learning so much. He is loving the cafeteria and really loving recess!!

This is Hunter at "meet the teacher!"

He wanted to show Alli the cafeteria!

It sure is early to be waking up!!!

Hunter is all ready to go!

Posing with his sisters before we leave!

Just one last hug!!!

Hunter and his wonderful teacher, Mrs. Autrey

Already hard at work!

Emery is still sleepy but it time to pick brother up!

I found Hunter happy as can be!

Alli is glad to be taking him home!

As sad as it is to see your first baby grow up, I guess it just has to happen! I have been so blessed to be at home with him the first 5 years of his life and now it is time to let go!(at least a little bit, even if it is just to Kindergarten!)

I Can't Believe She is ONE!!!

I really cannot believe our sweet baby girl is ONE! This past year has gone by way to fast! Emery has been a delight since the day she was born. Everyone in this house is CRAZY about her!!! This past Saturday we celebrated Emery Blair Stewart's first Birthday. We had a wonderful time with family and friends!! We had the party Saturday morning so we had brunch type foods. We had breakfast casserole, sausage roll ups, fruit, coffee punch, fruit punch, strawberry cupcakes, and the yummiest chocolate chip cake ever!!!! Emery is petite but loves herself some food!!! She ate soooo much that day! Here are some pics from her party!!!
