On Saturday we (as a family) participated in the American Heart Association Tarrant County Heart Walk. Justin's former boss and mentor, Rob, was co-chair for the event. Justin worked really hard with AHA team to help organize the event. Justin also had a hand in organizing the Lockheed Group. Lockheed had over 1,000 folks walking in the event. Below are some pictures of the event.</div>

I took several pictures of the walk and Emeline decided that she wanted to join in on the picture taking. The photos below were all taken by her. And, these were not taken with a little point and shoot. These were all taken with my DSLR. I think we might have a little photographer on our hands. I just need to find her a camera her size.</div>

The walk was definitely a success. I am so proud of Justin and everyone else involved for all the hard work he put into helping organizing this event. I am sure this is one we will continue to do as a family for years to come. </div>

We used to go all the time growing up. I have so many wonderful memories as a kid there and wanted to share them with Justin and Emeline. So, we conned my parents into going with us to watch Emeline while Justin and I went skiing. Everyone had a blast! Emeline loved the family time and Justin was bit by skiing bug. Below are pictures from the trip in no order.<br />

She had a blast! We walked through the barns and saw the donkeys, cows, horses and pigs. Em loved seeing all the animals! She had no problem with the animals with the exception of the cows. She was fine with them as long as they didn't come up to the front of the stalls. She didn't like them getting too close. When they would get up and start moving towards her she would yell "no walk cows, no walk!" <br />
<br />
Her favorites were the FFA Childrens' Barn, Horse Barns, Petting Zoo and Pony Ride. Everyone was so incredibly nice. Several of the folks opened up their horse stalls to let us come in and pet their horses. Em was so happy!<br />

Riding the pony. She and Scooter had fun. While riding she informed me that she needed a horse. Here is a video of her riding. I can just see in a few years us taking a stab at riding lessons.</div>

All season she hasn't been that big a fan. Usually we have to drag her on the field and watch her cry that the other kids are not sharing. Well last week she did better but, this week she was an ALLSTAR!!! She ran all over that field kicking the ball and even scored a goal! I am sad to say she was a complete ball hog! I think that Aunt Renee and Ga showing up caused Miss Priss to show off.<br />
<br />
After the game we took team photos and received medals!<br />

The other day after going to the Dbat Lakeside grand opening, we stopped by my parents' house to let Em take a nap. Their house is significantly closer to Rowlett than our house. When Em woke up Ga, mommy and Aunt Nae were decorating Ga's Christmas tree. Em had so much fun helping out.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiomvzK75z2r7cRdBhbCsTWU6x5p5a4E1svTFG8Fg-JwaFKNgpjM_hBIcFcLJWK9SZ_MTcZ5PM77rRmgMRsuqo7aW5Cwd8zOWy5nhTbnmsW4duYVeSFdM_nUZlAZ-3ydqUNeD8-m4DJVKdo/s1600/IMG_0658.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" mda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiomvzK75z2r7cRdBhbCsTWU6x5p5a4E1svTFG8Fg-JwaFKNgpjM_hBIcFcLJWK9SZ_MTcZ5PM77rRmgMRsuqo7aW5Cwd8zOWy5nhTbnmsW4duYVeSFdM_nUZlAZ-3ydqUNeD8-m4DJVKdo/s320/IMG_0658.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Some friends of ours from church have a little boy the same age as Em. They told us about a 2-year old soccer league they had signed their son up for. We decided to sign Em up as well. We arrived Saturday not sure how it would go. To our surprise it went very well. She had so much fun running around the field, playing inside the goal and even kicked the ball 3 or 4 times. She was also so excited to see a friend from school playing on the other team. Below are the pictures from The Apple Slices (Em's team) playing The Orange Slices. </div>

We headed over to their house in time for lunch and then Em took a nap and Ga and I ran to a baby shower. We then spent the rest of the evening hanging out and catching up. It had been about a month since we last saw them.<div>
<br /></div><div>The next morning after breakfast Em went outside to join Pawpaw in watering the flowers. From the pictures below you can probably see that she watered herself more than the flowers. Grandparents will let their grandkids get away with anything. I stood there and watched her play and once she was soaked decided to actually take some pictures. </div>

We got their early enough to do the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">pre</span>-show.

I was excited and nervous to take Em to her first day of school. Here are some pictures of the first morning. During the summer she gets to wear whatever we want but, starting on 8/22 she has to wear a uniform. I will post pictures of our first day in uniform when that happens but, in the mean time here is our first day of school.</div><div>

The truth is my laptop stopped working and it took me about 3 months to get it in and repaired. Then, summer hit and we have been busy. Lastly, life has changed for the Dillard's...I have returned to work. After several discussions, a few tears and tons of prayers, I made the decision to return to work. I found a job with a bank doing what I did before. I just finished my second week and I LOVE it. It feels good to be back in the working world. I think I am making the adjustment to being a working mom well...although, I need to figure out when to get the house work done.<div>
<br /></div><div>So many of you are wondering what about Em. We have enrolled her in a christian based daycare and she is doing very well. We still have a few tears every morning when I drop her off but, her reports are that she is doing very well during the day and making friends. She is even taking naps at school; something I was very worried about. I think she is still adjusting to a hour nap versus her 3 hour naps but, she really isn't cranky when she comes home. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>All in all, we are doing well and I promise to be better about updating the blog somewhat regularly.</div>The Dillardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14540809008515400599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271590011784342223.post-23810383679077456462011-02-24T14:58:00.002-06:002011-02-24T15:02:12.152-06:00Update on the Pool<div>We are nearing the finish of the completion of our pool.

Brian (works with Justin), Molly and Madeline and our neighbors James, Lauren and Lindsey. James' wife Jill wasn't feeling well so she didn't make it. While the game was entertaining, most of the fun was upstairs in the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">game room</span>. Emeline found a friend in Lauren.

When I was younger every summer I would take art classes; painting (oils and water color) and ceramics. I haven't done any of this in sometime. With the cold weather and our backyard torn up, I thought we could try finger painting.<div><br /></div><div>A couple of weeks ago I went online, to find some recipes for homemade finger paints. I bought all the goods and then was going to make some. Then, I realized that I had to cook the finger paints. So instead I took some pudding that I had and added food coloring.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ-zu7BdR_A9ZJa64FuCJEOtMxG_7MNXOBsix0G8e73iyoChVk8BeKc8l76rlI4Ptibi-a7L60pgDzGh1DxQFnW0YGJE91UioakK-fkNi5FdBL5nTfy0wFdPDei4TH1iZMIFLfZlIp3lhx/s1600/DSC01445.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ-zu7BdR_A9ZJa64FuCJEOtMxG_7MNXOBsix0G8e73iyoChVk8BeKc8l76rlI4Ptibi-a7L60pgDzGh1DxQFnW0YGJE91UioakK-fkNi5FdBL5nTfy0wFdPDei4TH1iZMIFLfZlIp3lhx/s400/DSC01445.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564769194236447714" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Starting out.

I made her waffle but, to try something different I gave her a little bowl of syrup for her to dip her bites into. She loved it! And to my surprise she didn't make near the mess that I thought she would.<div><br /></div><div>Next, we had our first visitors of the day. The excavation team got here to begin digging our pool! Emeline had so much fun watching them. She kept an eye on them all day. The original plan was that they would be done by lunch time. About 2 hours into digging we got some bad news. They had hit rock. So out came the jackhammer and tons of noise. I felt so bad for our neighbors. Hopefully, most of them were at work. Luckily the rock only caused them a delay of a few hours and we now have a huge hole in our backyard.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwpT7yrbzCVW8AkXqN99HYkXhVcZ-2_WCDQzUWqsVvWmcMyMMk4jF2baxiCfV1s1tr_2-puv3diBDdhqWhi2U7RYK59SHW0OxoFjFiPYseeCJF9w47zmtvVG5UQsUpdgfic4-KO_NyOoFK/s1600/DSC01438.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwpT7yrbzCVW8AkXqN99HYkXhVcZ-2_WCDQzUWqsVvWmcMyMMk4jF2baxiCfV1s1tr_2-puv3diBDdhqWhi2U7RYK59SHW0OxoFjFiPYseeCJF9w47zmtvVG5UQsUpdgfic4-KO_NyOoFK/s400/DSC01438.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563724463416754690" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Emeline keeping a watchful eye.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5dqYsAxf2d4JD1N-iXRi7lzYfgkFx51KVQIyMPsBuPUnvHtZLJv8j30QvVRnK08sCzeAayELFMQTdIttoS7_N5PD0iX5vW4ElCVvGGWOdumU8aFs-E3xHK0Jzq5bOLVA4mOhph8pTSyaF/s1600/DSC01442.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5dqYsAxf2d4JD1N-iXRi7lzYfgkFx51KVQIyMPsBuPUnvHtZLJv8j30QvVRnK08sCzeAayELFMQTdIttoS7_N5PD0iX5vW4ElCVvGGWOdumU8aFs-E3xHK0Jzq5bOLVA4mOhph8pTSyaF/s400/DSC01442.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563724446806651234" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The finished product!

She gets that from her daddy. She can't stand to have doors open and things out their place. </li><li>She can climb up and down her new stairs but, only with an adult.</li><li>She loves exploring and coloring.</li><li>If she could spend every minute outside she would. This kiddo loves the outdoors regardless of temperature.</li><li>She loves her dogs and giving them hugs. Rosie pretty much avoids Em and Daisy has been so good with Em.</li><li>Em also loves music and dancing and reading books. I have to sing Ring Around the Rosie at least 10 times per day.</li><li>She has also developed such a distinct personality. She is very independent and opinionated. Has the sweetest smile and gives the best kissers.</li><li>She loves playing telephone. She will take my cell phone, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">tv</span> remote, or her hand and pretend to talk.

We tried to give some what of a normal Christmas to Em by spending Christmas Eve at my parents. <div><br /></div><div>Christmas morning was amazing!!! I brought Em down for breakfast and Gram was in the kitchen making breakfast. Thinking that she would go straight to Gram I put Em down. She took one look at Gram and one look at what Santa had brought and made a dash for Santa's goodies. We were all caught off guard. Justin was still upstairs, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">PawPaw</span> was in his office. All Mom and I could do was scream hurry up!!! Em loved all her gifts. Justin and I loved that she enjoyed it all. This was Em's first Christmas where she actually enjoyed Santa and opening gifts; as opposed to the previous year when she slept through it all.</div><div><br /></div><div>We kept Christmas going by heading down to Houston Christmas Day and spending time with Justin's family. We had Christmas dinner with Pops, Uncle Drew and Aunt Erin. Then on the 26<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span> we headed to Grandma's house (Justin's Grandma) for a family lunch.</div><div><br /></div><div>You are probably wondering where all the pictures are. Well, I didn't take any. I will the mom of the year award. I attribute the lack of pictures due to the fact that Em still needed help opening presents and I was busy. I know that the grandparents took lots of pictures so hopefully they will share.</div><div><br /></div><div>After we returned from Houston, we have spent the past couple of weeks trying to put the house together. It is still a work in progress but, we are getting close. It has been an adjustment. The house is amazing and it is so nice to have so much room. Oh, and it is so nice for Justin's commute to only be 20-30 minutes. He gets home in time to play with Em while I cook dinner. We are still working on finding a church home and learning where to eat and shop. It will take time but, we will get it all figured out. </div><div><br /></div><div>I think things are starting to settle down and hopefully, I will get better at posting again.</div>The Dillardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14540809008515400599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271590011784342223.post-58378496465200293622010-12-08T13:11:00.004-06:002010-12-08T13:30:00.185-06:00The House is Complete...AlmostLast night we had our walk through with the builder.

Although towards the end she was pulling tape off of the walls.<br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548393684313309250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoZ51H0IB3VMmqLPGOBg1e6ZuLQ0qxmDmm-herrt6uJ0iw5FdRtHZpyPZGN7-zh4fA6NVWBDcBiqpTU3AxdbqmuJt_3smgCAcLGqnh59cEpVNRp4EBgt4XV6_VWP4Gnhlb38DvFJOfanYJ/s400/DSC01391.JPG" /></p><p align="center">Living Room<br /></p><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjX_umWk17cWVOHVQbN_YuM_ddRHtTeORy-nHxCS10w0XFIeKE10ea9chy_WZXuxZiSY_SeCAbkNNnUs193l5RIvKMtboR6vcsObjP2plKEHcI55TsM7tq1vJ862GwdHMmkwbJukPJwdJb/s1600/DSC01389.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548392917309950706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjX_umWk17cWVOHVQbN_YuM_ddRHtTeORy-nHxCS10w0XFIeKE10ea9chy_WZXuxZiSY_SeCAbkNNnUs193l5RIvKMtboR6vcsObjP2plKEHcI55TsM7tq1vJ862GwdHMmkwbJukPJwdJb/s400/DSC01389.JPG" /></a> My Kitchen!!!
