3 1/2 year old!
This little girl is growing up so fast! She is funny, sweet, smart, kind, all balanced out with some strong will! She LOVES school, her sister, her friends, her dog, riding her bike, going to gymnastics, reading books, and doing crafts. She is enjoying learning to write her letters and has most of them mastered. She spends her days and nights pretending to be a teacher, a mom, and anything else that comes to mind. She is the best big sister. She is teaching Claire her colors and letters...though I am not sure Claire realizes that is the goal.
She would play outside (and with her sister) all day if we let her.
She still LOVES her bike!
She still loves a good snuggle...with anyone!
She pretend plays ALL day LONG!
She is kind enough to teach her sister everything...even her funny faces!

A day downtown
One of our favorite things to do is go for walks downtown. The girls love it. There is so much to do and see.
Happy girls!
Claire did stop to touch every flower!
"look at my balance"
Emmerson would walk on these walls all day long!
Did you know that if you put your arms behind you it makes you run really fast?
Most popular seat in the house...
Crazy girl!
Anna's Birthday Celebration
We got to spend the day with Anna to celebrate her birthday. We had so much fun with her!
These two could do crafts all day long!
We love to play together!
Our last play date as two 3 year olds!
We talked cousin Lauren into going to the museum with us!
The girls built a house for Lauren and Claire.
Three little girls in the dog house...
Claire loves the museum too!
We took Lauren on the carousel .
The mirrored room brings out the crazies.
We also got to go to Anna's blue themed birthday party! Emmerson thought it was great that she got to see Anna two days in a row!
The girls in the only blue we could find in our house...
Happy Birthday sweet girl! Thanks for letting us celebrate with you!

Tailgating again!
The Hursh and Bloede clan bring plenty of attention to a college tailgate! Five kids 3 or under! Everyone is very well behaved and the parents can even have fun!
Violet made it to her first tailgate and the big kids turned out to be great babysitters.
Emmerson brings her own potty...everyone is jealous!
The kids keep pretty busy.
Oliver taught Emmerson all kinds of moves.
Claire is very helpful to anyone playing with bean bags.
J and Claire loved the bubbles.
All ready for the football game...or the popcorn!
Go Hoosiers!
Did we mention it was an 8:00 game? or that Claire goes to bed at 7:30.
One happy Daddy!
18 months old
We are not sure how it can be but this little girl is 18 months old. She is all toddler! Into everything, LOVES the word NO, pushes all of her sisters buttons, and is learning more than we can keep track of daily. She says everything and makes her opinion known. She is funny and knows it, which makes it even funnier to us. She loves to dance, play with her babies, color, and take rides in her little car. She still adore her sister and tries her best to keep up with all Emmerson does. She is CRAZY over Bella and dogs in general. She doesn't like being away from Emme and cries for her when she is out of sight. Poor Emmerson usually wakes to the sound of Claire crying at her door. She would prefer that Dad didn't go to work and instead stayed home and played with her. When we describe her it goes something like this, She is so feisty, and ornery, but at the same time the sweetest little girl. She loves to cuddle, give hugs and kisses, be held, and just be with us! At her 18 month appointment she weighed 21 pounds (17%), and was 31 inches (18%).
She is crazy about babies and all things needed to take care of them.
She is the biggest lover, she will cuddle with anyone for as long as they will let her. Emmerson is a good sport.
Silly isn't strong enough to describe this girl!
She LOVES this dog! Bella even lets her cuddle.
This is her favorite car (and passenger). I came outside to find these two squeezed into this tiny car!
This stool is never far from Claire. She carries it everywhere. To get up on the couch, to reach toys, to reach bites of food, and anything else she thinks she needs. Did we mention she isn't tall?
As we know she loves her sister and couldn't have a better big sister. The other day Claire was fussy and wanted me to hold her while I was making dinner. I ask Emme to go play with her. Once it was quiet I peeked in the room and this is what I found. Emmerson, said, "don't worry Mom I am holding her."
While I shower the girls usually play upstairs. Lately they play house. Claire of course always has to be the baby. Emmerson makes her take naps by making a bed on the floor and telling her to lay down. She leaves the room and closes the door. Claire just waits!
