Emery turns 5!!

 I have a 5 year old?  How old am I anyway?

This big girl is such a delight to have at our house.  I tell her all the time that I'm so glad she was my 1st baby.  A few of my favorite things about her:

• She's constantly singing!  She has a beautiful voice and has lots of songs memorized, but I love the ones she makes up too. 
• She's thoughtful.  When Van woke up sick this morning she hurried after breakfast to draw him a picture of a "fire tow truck" to make him feel better.  And it did.  She's always taking care of us and of people she doesn't even know. 
• She's fun - She's always coming up with a scheme to do something fun, go somewhere fun, eat something fun.  She's just a fun girl!! 
• She has a tender heart.  Her favorite movie, Spirit, makes her cry, she cries when relatives leave (Grandma, cousin Missy, Aunt Donna).  She's definitely an emotional girl!
• Her Daddy says: She gives great head scratches and how she looks at me with loving eyes and says "I love you, Dad."

And what did she want to do for her birthday day?  Go climbing of course.  That's our girl!! 

On her birthday morning.  She got a horse stable and sparkly pants from mom and dad, baby horses and a cowgirl for her stable from Ma and Pa Wimmer, and a big horse and Brave book from Ma and Pa Wilkinson. 

Love these 3.  Sometimes we sit in the corner and snuggle and watch dad climb.  I love the climbing gym.

Nice tummy dude.

This birthday girl is getting to be quite the little climber

Good climbing Daddy

Her birthday celebration in Las Vegas.  Instead of a party she chose to take Jayne to Bounce U and to lunch with Grandma.  And to get in Pa's hot tub, of course.

Silly Girls!  I love these two.  They really are the cutest friends.
