Its so hard being a 'poser'...

Last week at Leigh's wedding, one of the Bridemaids asked if she could use Ava as a 'model', as she is trying to get into the photography business.  She wants to build up her portfolio, and we were more than willing to assist :)  I was beyond thrilled to see just how amazing they turned out!  Kari was awesome to work with, and got Ava's personality perfectly!

(this one above is going to be used for her birthday! )

i think the one above is my favorite!

Wedding weekend...

We celebrated Leigh & Billy's wedding this past weekend at the Belo in Dallas! A beautiful, relaxing, fun day/night! I was a bridesmaid, and Leigh was the most laid back bride I've ever met! Here are just a few snapshots of the Emerson clan, and some of us ((bridesmaids)) mugging for the camera!

Halloween in July...

I know I'm biased, but I think she might be the.cutest.clown.EVER.







Can I also just say how wonderful Ava's school is? They do such fun things--and it makes it just a little easier taking her everyday:-). I'm so glad that she will continue @ Whistle Stop even after she starts kindergarten in August (( we are keeping her at Whistle Stop for afterschool/holidays/summers )). Happy Thursday!

Michael Cohen Marshall...

thoughts and prayers to Megan, Brent and Mighty Cohen along with their family today.

wordless wednesday...

My view from here...

We've been busy. Not busy busy----just life busy. Work busy. Family busy. Friends busy. Busy. And to be honest I just haven't had any strong urge to blog, because even though we've been busy, I'm not sure it's even blog worthy! So I'm going to post my random photos as an attempt to let you know I'm still here! I've been reading all your blogs, but haven't been the best at commenting {sigh}. I'm going to try and get better at that! Here is what we've been up to, courtesy of iPhone pictures :-)



We've been growing! I feel like A has gotten so BIG in the last few weeks!






We've been practicing 'driving'.... Just call us B. Spears :) {don't worry, this is only in the parking lot at our apartments!}







We've been swimming! So thankful for a pool on these super hot Texas days!
















We've been baby lovin'






And Ava lovin' :-)
I hope y'all are enjoying life and the beginning if summer as much as we are!
