Old and New Friends

It's my last official weekend before I start back 5 days a week at work (BOOOOO) on a new project so we decided to do it right this weekend! We decided we'd hang out with some friends. We started by taking a trip down to Lauren's house to FINALLY meet the beautiful Andie Lynn!
I wish I would've gotten a picture of her feet because I fell in LOVE! For being the product of two small people she is a chunky monkey, and a CUTE one! Lauren, Ryan, and Andie live on a large piece of land with lots of dogs. From the minute Emmy got out of the car, all she could say was "BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG DOG!, big dog, big dog, big dog." She spent the entire time we were there figuring out ways to get back outside to see the big dog. She kept wanting to "pat pat" her. I think Jandy the Great Dane was KIND of excited when we got in the car to go home. We started off today with Brayden's second birthday party. His mommy Shannon is super creative and she didn't disappoint this year, next year is going to be hard though =) It was a construction theme and they put their new big backyard to good use. It was a "construction site" with plenty of fun activites. There was the dirt pit (a fan favorite) ....
The kids could "build a city on the fence". They could also build a truck, do parachutes and balls.
All of this fun stuff and you know what Emmy wanted to do.. that's right.. Slide.. and slide, and slide, and slide, and slide. Unless she saw a big on the slide and then this is what she did until I removed the bug. (Sidenote: We have a bit of a Bug issue right now. A fly landed on her face for a few seconds not too long ago and it has caused MAJOR emotional trauma. All bugs are bad and she tells them shoooo! See, I've already screwed her up!) You know there had to be dirt cake, Brayden's was in the dump truck. Everything was adorable! But the party was over for Emmy when she got this orange sucker out of the pinata. At this point, she started chucling to herself, saying "num num" and went and sat on the stairs inside by herself and ate the sucker. All that fun stuff, orther kids, and chocolate, and she ate the sucker... by herself. We had a fun time with friends, partying, and eating orange suckers! What a good way to start our weekend!
