Ella's Fairy Birthday Party

I have a very bad problem with going overboard when it comes to my children. I simply CAN NOT help it. Ella's birthday parties have always ended up being over the top and this year, I was determined that we would have a simple party here at home. This is what she wanted:

A fairy party
Only girls
A party at home

Ok, I thought....I can do this....
I ordered a cake from Publix, ordered some invites from Etsy, then, I started "Pinteresting," and the planning started spiraling out of control... It really doesn't matter though, because she thanked me at least 25 times for having her the best party ever....and then started talking about her 6th birthday party....

One thing is for sure, this girl is growing up way too fast, and it breaks this mama's heart...

Emory got into the mood!

We love this girl so much....she amazes us everyday in someway. We love you to the moon and back Ella Coleman Craker.

Exciting News

We always said we wanted three children... three is a perfect number.....right? I came from a family of three.... It looks like Baby Craker will be here in March of 2014. We are very excited, and I am very sick.... I will be so glad to get through this first trimester...I was sick will Ella, but in a different kind of way. With Emory, I was never sick at all. With this one, I think the best thing for me to do is go to bed and wake up in a few weeks when I start feeling better.....

The girls are very happy there is going to be another baby......Well, Ella is! Emory, depending on her mood, sometimes is and sometimes isn't. Sometimes she says, "NO BABAY, I DA BABAY!" and sometimes she says, "Babay dirl in momma belly..." Ella wants the baby to be a boy, Emory wants a girl....I guess someone is going to be disappointed.

4th of July

We had a great visit to Aliceville....my brother and sister in law came down from Tennessee and spending time with them was wonderful, as always. I treasure the time with my family. I miss them so much, and I hate being so far way from them. Luckily, it won't be long until we are all together again.
