9 Year Letters to Emma

Emma,

Happy Birthday to my big 9-year-old!!! I’m so proud to be your dad. You are such a blessing. I love your huge personality. You are such a compassionate and caring girl. You make me very proud. Your Mom and I love your passion for life, soccer, family, and friends. You are such a unique girl and I don’t want you to ever change! Make sure to keep being the awesome person that I know you are because it will take you so far in life. I love you and Happy Birthday.

Love,

Dad

Dear Emma,

My girl, you just keep getting busier and more fun.  You make me proud every day, for many different reasons.  Here are a few: your kindness and empathy for all, your determination and grit, your confidence and persistence, your sense of humor and silliness, your love for your family, your never ending support and encouragement for your sisters, your quick and smart mind, your dance moves, your never ending energy, your effort and leadership on the soccer field.  That is just a few.  You are sunshine and light.  You bring a smile and a hug to everyone at school.   I love to watch you grow and mature, but I also wish you could stay the same.  Keep making me proud and making the world a brighter place.  WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Love,
Mommy

Emma's 9th Birthday Party

Emma is all soccer these days and she wanted a soccer birthday party with all of her soccer team mates!  So, that is just what she got.  Aunt Rocks made her awesome cake and her entire soccer team came to celebrate with her.

Awesome cake and Emma holding a replica of herself!

Fun times at Pump It Up!

Big sis had fun, too!

So did little sis.

The Emma even had a top knot!

Great group of kids! Emma had a blast!

Date Night with Ryan

Ryan has had a major growth spurt!  She has shot up in height and her feet have grown.  She has been asking for some new running shoes so we made plans to go out for dinner together and shoe shopping.  She chose La Madeline where we had caesar salads and coffees to go!  We found her a great pair of shoes to finish out running club in. It was a fun evening together.  I love my one on one time with her.

Broken Bow

Our small group took our annual trip to Broken Bow, OK.  Chris went down Friday with Ryan, Jenna and Polly.  Emma and I came Saturday after our basketball game.  We had a blast all together.  

All the kids!

The moms!

Chris and Bigfoot

Polly did a 4 mile hike!!!!!

Erin carried Polly for a little bit.

Quick trip for me!
I came late Saturday and left Sunday evening.
