I Can’t Believe He’s 4!

There are no words.  I get choked up when I think about it, so I will just do pictures.  Enjoy the slideshow of his birthday party at the end!

We couldn’t wait to meet our son! (6-27-05)

 

Carrying on the Moncrief name.

What a hunk at 1 year!

 

Stylin’ at 2!

Hole-in-one on his 3rd birthday! (not kidding!)

Here he is at 4!  The year of the superhero!

What a big boy! Check out his new wheels!

See party pics below!

       

The Princess and the Superhero!

ad nauseam…I know I go a little overboard, but I can’t help it. It’s like Christmas morning when Chera emails them to me. I am attaching a couple of my favorites, but will include the link so you all can look at the rest…only if you want to! Emerson, as usual, stared at the camera, but we did manage to get a couple of her smiling. She is even holding up one finger in one of them.

Just to plug Chera a little…she is so inexpensive and uh-mazing! This whole session cost me $50. She will send me the CD with the original sizes and I can print them myself at Wal-Mart or wherever for pennies.

Also, I uploaded Windows Live Writer (free) to write all my blogs now. LOVE IT! So much more user friendly than the other and you have more font selections…I say this and I haven’t published this post yet, but I bet it will be great!

Okay, I have posted and now I am editing this post to say that Live Writer is fantastic…adding pictures has never been easier.  You don’t have to wait for them to upload and you don’t have to try to reposition them; they go wherever your cursor is!  Same with the paragraphing.  You don’t have to guess if you need to enter once or twice and it posts just like it looks, unlike Blogger!  I am HOOKED!

What's a Goin' On?

Well, I made the daring drive to South Texas all by myself with two kids to surprise the family...they didn't know I was coming..hee hee! I stopped in Austin and stayed the night with my friend Lisa. Campbell and Caden were reunited and they were so cute together. Loved the Mexican Martinis, Lisa!

I showed up on Tuesday to a very happy and surprised Nana and Momo.

As fate would have it, we were able to go to my niece Marleigh's 6th birthday party. Marleigh and Emerson have the same bathing suit and Slayde and Emerson played together.

Aunt Leah found a good source of birth control when she took Marleigh and Campbell to the beach, swimming, and fishing all in one day.

And now we're home...back to our daily routine....

But then I get attitude from this one because he has to clean his playroom. The terrible three's have hit and man does he drive me crazy, but he eventually makes me laugh and I forget why I am upset. Maybe it's the shirt?

However, Emerson is ALWAYS ready and waiting with a smile! Oh how I cherish these times!

I did see my other nieces and nephew (Allyson, Gunner, and Alyssa), but I left my camera in Taft and missed out on pictures. My mom got some, but waiting for her to upload to Snapfish...well, let's just say, it could be a while. Good thing we are going back home in July!
