Nine Year Old Nemmers

I can't believe my Nemmers is 9.  Her birthday was really close to Easter so she got to have her cake at the Wilford's house as a part of Easter dinner.  In light of that fact, she designed this Easter Birthday cake.  We filled the cake with Sixlets and then covered the hole with a nest made from chocolate dipped pretzels and filled the nest with mini eggs.  The Peeps were a nice touch as well.  The candy hidden in the middle was a hit with all the cousins.

She loved her stuffed sloth and her Ginny Weasley wand made by Scott Salisbury.

Our Emmy brings such joy and fun to our house.  I feel lucky to be her mom.  Right now she really loves her cat.  She carries Perdita around the house like a baby and pets her anytime she sees her.

Emmy had a blast playing soccer this year - especially trying her hand at goalie.

The day after her birthday she had a field trip to the Birds of Prey Center so I had to go along.  It was such fun to see her love for animals come out.

Love Love my Emily girl!

My Natali Is So OLD!

Natali turned 17 this year!  So hard to believe she will be a Senior next year.  She is such a joy.  She is a great big sister, helps me out a ton, and finds ways to lift and cheer everyone around her.  Not ready to send her to college yet, not cause she's not ready, but because we will miss her too much.

 She competed at State Solo again and finished in 5th place; so proud of her.

 Prom with Kyle was a lot of fun - she looked beautiful.  Last minute (literally) she decided her dress should be hemmed.  I seriously finished hemming it 5 minutes before she left the house.  Glad that worked out but next time we will talk through things a little sooner.  Love this girl!

Kate is 12!!!

Kate enjoyed her Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake for her birthday and we got her see her artwork displayed at school.

 She also showed her orchestra skills at Art Night.

She had a blast at FX Dance camp.  Can you see her in the front row in the yellow shirt on the left side?

Love this girl who is growing up far too fast.  I can't believe she is 12 already.
