Eilers 6: March 2013

My girly girl and her not so girly ways

Emersyn is ALL GIRL! She wears a dress or skirt nearly EVERY DAY. She doesn't like the feel of jeans and hasn't since she has been little so we have tons of dresses for her. She has some accessory to accompany those dresses, like a pearl necklace or tiara or her dress up shoes. Dressing up is also one of her favorite things to do. Now that Elynn is getting older, Emersyn will tell her, "Elynn, do you want me to teach you how to dress up!?" They have become the best of friends and love dressing up together.

On a different note. Emersyn is our most brave one when it comes to BUGS. She loves them and loves to catch them. She is better at it than Ezra! It makes me smile. I love her girly, critter loving ways. I can't imagine what she is going to be like when she gets older. I am so excited to wait and find out!

Elynn is potty trained!

Hallelujah. Elynn is potty trained. She did it shortly after she turned 2 in January. I didn't want to do it because I thought she was too little and it would take a little bit longer to get the hang of it, but she kept telling me when she needed to go (with a diaper on) and wanted to sit on the toilet, so I gave in. Ezra had an early break in February and we bucked down and did it. She did GREAT! She has had MAYBE 2 accidents since, and they were due to me not really wanting to stop to take her potty. She is such a smart, little independent girl. So now, she only wears diapers at night and sometimes at nap. Hopefully soon we will completely be out of the diaper stage. We haven't had that since we had Ezra!! I can see a light at the end of the tunnel! WAHOO!!

February wrap up

We have been so busy that I am so behind in my blogging. So I am going to just post pics and put some captions underneath for your enjoyment and my time! :)

Emersyn's school Valentine party

Pinterest hearts I made for the front door

Ezra's class school trips are once a month trips to the children's Magik Theater. It has been so fun. We have seen a couple plays but our favorite so far has been Cat and The Hat!

A cute valentine from our sweet neighbors

Our garden this year. We have planted tomatoes, peppers and strawberries. This is our first year to try strawberries.

Rodeo Day at Emersyn's school.

Got to meet David Crowder at a benefit dinner

Our girls night out girls with David Crowder

Friends I went to the benefit dinner with

We have been making MANY trips to the zoo with friends. The weather has been great and the kids love going to the zoo.

Ezra was brave enough to feed the birds. The girls wanted nothing to do with it.

My precious loves with crazy hair in the bath. This is one of their favorite things for me to do to their hair.

She is getting TOO BIG!!

San Antonio Rodeo

Every year in February, since Brent and I have been an item, we have always gone the the rodeo. We love it. Since having kids, it is so much fun to add them into the fun. We have taken the kids to the stock-show part of the rodeo since we have had Ezra. It has been something the kids really love and ask about it. They even get to go to the Houston Rodeo with my mom and her husband, for a whole weekend. It is in our blood.
This year was so much fun. All three kiddos are at GREAT ages to do such fun things with. They are somewhat all "independent" and don't need constant attention or being held. They like to do things, explore and have opinions on what they would like to do and see. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE where we are at, in our lives, that is.
So, this year at the rodeo was great. We went on a Tuesday when kids were still in school and the area was pretty much empty. We got to do what we wanted with no lines and crowds. We rode ponies, ate lunch, saw the wild animals, got lots of free samples, went to the petting zoo, watched pigs race and even went into some of the stock-show barns.

Brent and I even went to the real rodeo and concert part with some great friends of ours. We went and saw REO Speedwagon. Who is that, you ask? There songs include, "can't fight this feeling", "keep on loving you", "take it on the run". I know you are singing along now. :) It was a lot of fun.
