Wow! Where has the time gone? It seemed like just a short time ago I was in labor and resisting
Eddie and Mom's urgings that it was time to go to the hospital. Now Emily's a proud first grader who prides herself
on her ability to read and write. Wow!
This year we had Emily's party at Pump It Up, an indoor playground filled with moonwalks. We also
went to a pumpkin patch this weekend ... you can see these pictures on MySpace.

Here comes Emily down the slide! What
you can't tell from this picture is that the
slide is almost almost 2 stories tall ... yikes!
Looks like fun, right? Well ... click on the
link below to see what a horrible job I did
of riding this (don't laugh ... it is a little
scary the first time). Then, consider that
before the party was over, J.T. was sliding
down this thing by himself (and loving
every second of it).

Here are Rachel, Emily and Jillian (and that's
the top of Faith's head behind Rachel).
This is what they did for 1 1/2 hours ... jump,
slide, run through the obstacle course, jump,
slide, run through the obstacle course...
This was a group of tired, sweaty kids when
the party was over.

Here are Emily and J.T. at
the bottom of the slide.

After the jumping & sliding was done, we all
headed towards the party room to enjoy some
pizza & sodas and open presents.
Here's the Birthday Queen on her throne.
Mmmmm ... cake .....
Click on the link below to see everyone
singing Happy Birthday to Emily. (Yup,
that's J.T. crying in the background.)

This is the gift that she was asking about
for months ... a Hannah Montana wig.
Can you tell she loves it?
