Emma turned 8 years old in Dec and she had a birthday party. She had so much fun having her friends over and opening all her presents. She said "this is the best day ever!"Emma you are spunky, smart and loving. You are like no other child I have ever met.

The day after Thanksgiving we loaded up the Pilot and the leftover turkey and made our way to Tyler State park. It was a first for us and so far our best time ever! We explored the land-hiking our way through a few trails, it was beautiful there. We roasted hot dogs and ate smores! We froze our little tushes off at night but it was great weather during the day.

That gave us only an hour and a half to pack since we decided so late.
But we made it into SLC, UT and had a fun night staying with my cousin Allyson and her wonderful family. Since I failed to take any pictures there, I am stealing pictures from Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787720.post-7656821078032436442012-07-06T18:57:00.000-06:002012-07-06T18:59:34.829-06:00Day 1 of Yellowstone

We love sleeping in and going to the pool, playing with friends and having all day to do fun things. We did begin with a routine of sorts. But I am having to be flexible a little because of different activities this summer. We are eating the free lunches at school (when we can). And doing a little bit of school work each day. I try to make it fun though.

Emma did it! She graduated 1st grade! She also got an award for her academics. They still don't get letter grades until next year but she did awesome this year.

Well I know I am way behind here and it is hard for me to get things in order so here is the Easter Egg hunt the Primary put on as a ward activity. Yes I know Easter was a while ago.

Emma and Spencer played soccer this year for the first time. They enjoyed it even though it was hard work. I am not sure when we will do it again. They want to play basketball next. Emma's team was undefeated and she got to rotate in as goalie. Spencer also was a pretty good goalie, he did not like the running part. They are the cutest soccer players I have ever seen.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787720.post-72384205817181651222012-05-08T11:52:00.002-06:002012-05-08T11:55:57.338-06:00MAMA and the windshield wiper, the Coyote, and the orange cream shake!So I have not posted in a while and I am not sure I like how blogger has changed.
Last week end I got to fly up to Minnesota and visit my mother! It was fun, short and full of laughs and funny things.
One awesome story was it started to rain on sat and her windshield wiper was broken and it was raining hard. We had to get it fixed.

Steve made me the jewelry box (above) for our 10 year anniversary which was in January. After the jewelry box was complete we realized there was not a great place in our room to put it.

Or do you savor each word, feeling like you are cheating if you don't give the author your complete and full attention. Or does it just depend on the book?I previously had thought that I was a die hard Savorer (if that is even a word, I am sure it is not). What I mean is that I thought there was no way I could even say I had read a book unless, I completely read it, every single wordUnknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787720.post-69218365926630456612012-01-26T12:34:00.004-06:002012-01-26T12:36:42.234-06:00Emma and Kathy compareIs this funny or what.
