All About Emma Claire: Spring Break!

I know y'all have been dying to see our spring break pictures! ;) Well, here they are!

Out to eat at Chili's after church on Sunday, March 11th (the preschool department had "Pajama Day" since it was daylight savings day)!

Trying out "The Choc'late Mousse Pie Bar" in Lubbock for the first time! It's sooo good! You pick out a crust and filling, and the put it in fun cups! I picked out chocolate graham cracker crust with chocolate mousse filling, and they topped it with their homemade whipped cream! mmmm! Emma was very interested in trying it :) (but we didn't let her, of course!)

On Monday the 12th, the first day of spring break, Emma & I went & picked up Colton from work & took him to lunch! Of course Colton had to take her around his office to show her off a bit on our way though :) On the left she was all ready to go, and on the right, she had fallen asleep at lunch (she wore herself out being veryyy friendly at Colton's office--she wanted everyone to hold her)!

Colton took us out to dinner that night at Olive Garden because we were leaving for Abilene & wouldn't see him for a few days!

She is such a cutie pie! :)

Emma is doing very well with eating "solid" foods! She is now eating rice cereal for breakfast and vegetables for dinner. We are going to start fruits in the next few days!

Here's her first taste of peas!

This is what Emma likes to do when I try to make her sleep in her crib! Goober!

Speaking of goober...haha! This was while we were watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

Sleepy baby all snuggled up in her swing!

My Mom (MiMi) and Will came to Lubbock on Tuesday the 13th, and then took Emma & me back with them to Abilene on Wednesday. We had a very busy week helping my Mom plan my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary party. MiMi & I hauled her all over town, and she was such a good sport about it! This was Emma all ready to head to Abilene for the rest of the week (notice Sophie's nose towards the bottom right corner...)!

We made it to Abilene! Pops (my Dad) was trying to get Emma to eat, but she wanted to watch Mickey Mouse! This was her solution!

She tried sweet potatoes for the first time while we were there! And she loved them!

Here's the video clip of her first taste of sweet potatoes:

This was our family on St. Patrick's Day!

On Sunday afternoon, March 18th, we had my Memaw & Papaw's (my Dad's parents', Dot & C.M.) 60th anniversary reception at their church!

My family with Memaw & Papaw

Memaw & Papaw and 8 of their 10 grandkids (plus 2 spouses on either end)

Memaw & Papaw and the entire family (minus a few that couldn't make it)

Papaw, MiMi, Pops, & Emma

Emma got very tired of meeting people and posing for pictures!

My Dad hired a friend from work who does photography on the side to take pictures at the reception for us so we didn't have to worry about it. He took us outside to get some pictures of Emma as long as we were there! He got some really good ones!

Daddy & Emma

All 3 of us! It was super windy, so my hair kept messing up all the pictures! We finally gave up on me being in them!

Pops & Emma

Uncle Will & Emma (he should have taken off his sunglasses)!

Here's some great ones of just Emma

We were all a bit tired by the end of the reception...Colton & Emma fell asleep while we were cleaning up!

Whitney (my cousin) brought Emma a bunch of cute outfits! Emma is modeling one here (except we had already put her bow bag in the car, so her head is naked!!).
