Emerson's Birthday party!


 Emerson was 4 on May 13th...but his birthday party was last Saturday, June 1.  It was a warm day...92 degrees and fairly humid...
 When we first got there, Emerson was hanging out in the shade with his buddy, Wyatt.  Wyatt told me he was 6 years old....and Emerson let us know he was "...almost 6.  4-5-6!"
 William was getting antsy so I took him to swing for a while.  I thought he'd fall asleep...no!


 Emerson was playing HARD...running and running and running around with all his buddies.  Remember it was 92 degrees..thus the red face and chugging some water!


 There was also some delicious watermelon.  Emerson showed me his train erasers...
 Emerson's cousin...Natalie?
Benjamin and I rode the train...


 Back at the party, Emily passed out popsicles to our hot little guys...
 You can see here how hot and sweaty Emerson was....

 William was climbing around on his daddy...

 Papa was the barbeque king...


 Emily was snapping some pictures of her baby turning 4 years old...

 The two Papas of Emerson...
Emerson got to open a few presents there....he was excited about his legos!
 Cousins...hard to believe these little guys are 4 years old now!
 There was a jump house...That's Emerson with his back to the camera...


 This little girl is Eleana...(I have no idea if I spelled that correctly).  She and Emerson have been in day care together since they were babies.  Emerson told me she was only 3 years old.
 Eleana wanted to ride the merry go round...but Emerson didn't. Emerson wanted to ride the train, but Eleana didn't.  So..she watched him ride the train...


Look who was waiting to ride the train as Emerson and I pulled into the station!
 Emerson then watched Eleana ride the merry go round.  Every time she'd come around, he'd wave and call her name...

 There goes Benjamin and his daddy on the train....

 Emerson was still waving at Eleana...
 It was time to head back to party central...because it was time for birthday cake!





 How fun is it to have everyone sing "happy birthday' to you? 
 Time for yummy cake!!!
 Poor Gabe...he has been sick for nearly 3 weeks....it just keeps going from one sickness to another...and miraculously, Emerson has never gotten it!
 What a friend!  Christian was comforting his sick buddy, Gabe!




 When one of Emily's friends was leaving, they let Emerson open his gift from her...




 and then she even read it to him....

 See!  I told you Emily was snapping pictures of her 4 year old!

 Oh boy!  Emerson definitely loved his new souped up car!
 William was trying to sneak in for the car-grab without his cousin knowing...

 Oops...what did you put in your mouth? 

 There goes Benjamin and his Mama...
 There goes Emerson...playing hard...

 After most of his friends said goodbye and took off, Emerson saw someone with snowcone...
 and he wanted one, too. 
 It was time from Greg and Bestamor to take off....
 Emerson, Benjamin, and Blake (Emerson's cousin on his mom's side) were hanging out in the shade after we finished packing everything in the cars...



 Gabe gave his boy a hug and kiss...


 Benjamin did the same thing...

Then Emerson went to tell his youngest cousin thank you...

What a fun day this was!
