Happy 2nd Birthday Emma!!

Because we were moving to Flagstaff before Emma's birthday, we decided to throw Emma a birthday party in Phoenix a few weeks early so that her friends could come. I decided to do a beach theme because Emma loves "boc-bocs" (flip-flops). I handed out a few goodies, had a few events, and then everyone dove into cupcakes...Emma literally. Thanks again for everyone who came! Emma sure does miss you all!

On Emma's real birthday (June 16), we had a mini party with the 3 of us and a lot of ice cream. I attempted to make Emma a sand castle out of the ice cream. It fell apart and melted once the candles were blown out, but whatever.

Emma and I flew up to Salt Lake for Kimball's missionary homecoming. While there, Emma had birthday party #3 with all of Ammon's family. Thanks again guys...I'm glad you got to be a part of it!

...but not of the cupcake


Enjoying opening the gifts! If you wonder why Ammon and other men are in the background of the pics, if at all...it's because the Suns game was on. :) She was definitely spoiled, so here are only a couple pics. Thanks to everyone for being so generous!!



Just let me eat my ice cream...

I've definitely learned my lesson...probably not having 3 parties next year! I LOVE birthday parties, but one is good enough for me! :)

Love you Emma! I'm so proud of the crazy little toddler you've become!
