Safety City

Ethan attended Westerville's Safety City this past 2 weeks.  He absolutely LOVED it!  He learned about fire safety, poisons in the home, gun safety, swimming safety, crossing the street, and of course met many police officers, fire persons, etc.  He came home each day telling me what they learned and sang so many songs.  Last Friday he had a graduation ceremony and they sang songs they learned.  It was a great experience for my little man and I would recommend it to anyone with a child going into kindergarten.  Here are some pics of his wonderful adventure....

Dance Party

Emma wanted to have her 9th birthday party at her dance studio.  Luckily we found a weekend that worked and one of her instructors hosted the party.  There were only 6 girls but they had a lot of fun and let Ethan dance too!  Her Nana Kyre and Ma-Ma & Pa-Pa Turner stopped by to see the fun.  The girls had a hula hoop contest, dance contest, costume contest, limbo contest and even an obstacle course.  Then Miss Caiti led them into the "Cha Cha", " Electric Slide", etc.  She said this was the best birthday ever!  Below are some pictures of the fun event:

Happy 9th Birthday Emma!

This has been a very eventful week and Erik was off of work for some of it!  Monday was Memorial Day and we ran errands and out to eat!  Tuesday, Ethan was not feeling well so took him to the dr and he has a double ear infection.  However we got the ok to take him to Chuck E Cheese for lunch.  Wednesday was Emma's actual birthday so we had our annual birthday pancakes, went to the park and then had a cookout with Grandma and Great Grandma Kyre.  Thursday Erik had to go back to work so I took the kiddos to the zoo which was exhausting but a lot of fun.  Today is Friday but rainy!  Everyone slept in so I think we are going to hang out, maybe do some art projects, it is free donut day at Krispie Kreme and then see what else we can get into! Tomorrow afternoon is Emma's birthday party at her dance studio.  Only 6 girls are coming but she is so excited!  One of her dance instructors will be hosting so it will be lots of fun!  Will post pics of it later!

I remember when Emma was born like it was yesterday.  She is my first born and the most scariest and exciting at the same time.  She was born 8 weeks premature and Erik and I felt so helpless.  My doctor and many specialists could not explain but I guess she wanted out early.  Luckily she was born 4 lbs 5 ozs.  Pretty healthy and was only in the NICU for 2 weeks!  I am so proud of my little girl and so thankful.

Here are some pictures of our week!
