I told her she had to learn to tie her shoes before they would let her go to first grade. LOL So I showed her once and she got it on the second try. I knew she could do it, she was just stubborn to let me teach her.
She was so excited this morning, we know her teacher and she loves her.
I am so happy!

We did this on a whim. It took me so long to get pictures up cause my phone was being repaired while we got her hair cut. That is why we got it cut cause we were waiting on phone to be repaired. I was just going to get it trimmed, but we asked how long it has to be to donate it to locks of love and they measured her and she qualified, so I asked Emma if that was something she wanted to do. You see ever since the movie Tangled she has not wanted to cut her hair. But when she heard that it would be going to someone who did not have hair because of illness she never hesitated. I love my little girl, she makes me happy!
Father's Day
I am so grateful my children have a wonderful father! The kids made him a frame and we took these pictures to get a picture we could put in it. We chose the one with out the nerf guns & fairy wand but we also got a collage of these two cuties & the above picture was included.
Chile
So I know we have not updated the blog in forever but we have a lot of good reasons. We have been so busy. Steve had a work trip to Santiago, Chile. I was not able to go this time. He was very busy working and only got a few pictures.
While he was gone I was busy watching my brother's 3 boys while he was recovering from major back surgery. We had a fun time together!

Emma dressed up!
Emma had her Kindergarten Graduation today! This is her with her teacher Miss Moore. (Spencer had to get in the picture too!) We could not of asked for a better teacher for her. She told her today, Miss Moore, I love you TOO much. Miss Moore said, you can't love me TOO much. Then she said you will love your 1st grade teacher just a little less than me, ok.
Miss Moore had a slide show for us to watch of the kids over the year and she had each of the kids a picture in a frame of them in a cap & gown. So cute!
She also gave me and the other Room mom a gift. She is so sweet and thoughtful. I feel so blessed that Emma had her as a teacher!
Art Show
Since I use my blog as a journal, I am playing catch up today. Emma's school had a Fine Arts Night and here are some photos from that fun night.
Bike Wreck
So Steve got a bike for his birthday and now we all have bikes. So we have been going on family bike rides and we have had soooo much fun. Last saturday we were gone for 2 or 3 hours and in the last five minutes I was going down this steep hill and my handle bars bolt/screw was loose so I crashed trying to avoid a creek bed. It was very painful and I have more bruises and sores that are not shown in the above pictures.
Update: It has been a week now and I am about 85% healed. Yay for bandaids!
last week
Spencer got to have some friends over last week. They had a blast!
This is one of the skirts I made for Emma
This is another skirt I made for her.
They love each other, even though they fight all the time. LOL
I see a Sea Horse
Emma has a Family project a school where they had to choose an animal that lives in the ocean and make a project and share with the class 3 facts about the animal. So we chose to make a stuffed sea horse and it is going to help her tell her story! We had fun working together on this project!
