A girl and her dinosaurs
While Kent and I were in D.C. (I promise the rest of our trip will be coming.. eventually) we picked up the boys some dinosaur t-shirts and some dinosaur toys. Their sister got a butterfly t-shirt and a toy giraffe (her favorite animal, currently) and a little pouch type thing that she can put all her "treasures" and other stuff in. Anyway, the boys loved their stuff, as did Zoey. But.. those cute little dinosaurs did their magic on Zoey and she couldn't resist. So, for the past few days (going on a week now) she has been playing and sleeping (!!) with those plastic, prehistoric wonders. What can I say.. she takes after her momma.. she is all tomboy. Flowers and ruffles just aren't enough for her. :)
That was soooo me about 20 something years ago!!! Actually, maybe that's me today, shhhhh. . .don't tell. Love your blog, and the bit in your bio, ARE you sure you wouldn't change it for ALL the cream of wheat in the world. That's pretty tempting, and I'm southern too. But I guess, I wouldn't either, although I loves me some Cream of Wheat.
I'm Emily. I'm a Christian. I'm 30 years old. I'm a wife to my soulmate, Kent. I'm a SAHM to my 3 beautiful children: Jon Kent-9, Zoey-8 and Nathan-5. I'm from a small southern town where we say ain't and y'all. I love my southern roots and wouldn't trade it for all the cream of wheat you've got. We currently hang our hats in South Carolina because of a job promotion my husband was given. So come along for the journey that is my life.
Kent is my wonderful husband of 10 years. In those 10 years he has provided for his family unselfishly. He is a wonderful daddy to our 3 small O'villers. He loves me despite my many flaws and I truly believe he sees me for who I am. I fully intend to spend every last second of my life with him.
Jon Kent is 8 years old. He is a 2nd grader now and I am beyond proud of what a great little boy he is becoming. He loves to learn and figure things out. Jon Kent is an amazing big brother. He is caring and compassionate. He likes to make friends and has really come out of his shell over the past year. Jon Kent loves playing basketball, football and soccer. He is a wonderful, compassionate, kind kid. He is truly a blessing to have as a son.
Zoey is 7 years old. She is my baby girl. My love that only a mother and daughter could have. She is my tomboy who likes sparkly things. Zoey is in 1st grade and she is a social butterfly. She doesn't meet a stranger and the more friends she has the better. Zoey loves to play with bugs, lizards and frogs. She also likes to play with her brothers and tell them what to do. Zoey loves singing and dancing. Anything to make someone smile. This past year she has really gotten into art and I am truly amazed at her ability to draw and color and bring out details that many would leave unnoticed. Zoey is our surprise blessing that I am continually grateful to God for.
Nathan is 5 years old. He is the baby and uses that fact to his advantage. He is a cuddlebug and a wrestler. He adores his big brother and makes it his mission to do everything that Jon Kent does. Nathan is a momma's boy and I wouldn't have it anyother way. His favorite pass times currently are playing with action figures, crewing on his "banket" (blanket) and getting as dirty as possible. Nathan marches to the beat of his own drummer. He is stubborn and strong willed, but doesn't like going to time out. He is a leader and I pray God can use him to lead others to Christ.

Love it!! Ry was obsessed with dinos for a year or so but seems to be over them now and onto more "girly" things.
