Spring is HERE!

Yesterday we enjoyed a fun time at the park with Miss Emersyn. I had hoped to get some cute pictures of her sitting in the grass but every time we sat her down in the grass, she FREAKED out!! I think the grass was kind of cold on her bare chubby legs. I think she was getting tired too so that never helps.

I love this little bonnet!

Taking a snooze after a long day of playing and having fun!

Last night we had some family friends over for dinner. I made a BBQ Chicken Salad that is really delicious, I copied the recipe from Cheesecake Factory. Not officially or anything, just observed what was in the salad and then duplicated it. I have written out my recipe below.

Emersyn's Tio and Tia

Tia Julie is going to give Emersyn some swimming lessons in their pool this summer so that Emers will be all ready for Hawaii. I can't wait!! How cute will Emersyn be in a little swimsuit!?!?

My mom is still here for a couple more days. I will be sad to say goodbye but the good news is, she will be back in June!

Use as little or as much of ingredients as you like, you can't go wrong!
