Princess and the Pea

It's princess time at the Roark house. Emily loves dressing up and this day it was a combination of Snow White and Tinker Bell. I still hold the title of Queen Bee, but I definitely have a little princess who is giving me a run for my money!


Can you say...."attitude"?


That's better!

Bathing Beauty

We have been taking advantage of the hot weather by "sunbathing" by the pool. I use the term "pool" very loosely since it is the $8 plastic pool from Walmart. It serves the purpose though. Emily is becoming a regular little swimming fish. Most of the time is spent splashing me and taking the water from inside the pool and relocating it to the outside of the pool. I do have to say that she is just like her mother.....she loves to soak up the rays.

Red, White and Blue

We had a great time at the Fourth on Broadway parade. Emily's favorite was the tractor float and the frozen lemonade. She also had fun riding the "train". That evening we had hot dogs and listened to the concert in the park. Emily got her first sip of Sprite and thought she was hot stuff. Thanks to Daddy and Uncle Jeffrey for the delicious hot dogs. Happy Fourth of July!

I Love a Parade

Emily's school had a fourth of July parade today. All of the kids from newborn to preschool pranced around the fellowship hall in their American gear. Emily enjoyed waving her flag and showing off. But of course, her favorite part was the picnic lunch and ice cream. Can you blame her?
