Emmie the princess

Emmie is a princess. Everything she received from Christmas was PINK and fit for a Princess. In fact, all she talks about is her PINK PRINCESS party that she is having for her Birthday. She won't even let anyone that is having a birthday before her have a birthday. It is her birthday and no one elses!!! She is going to have a pink princess party with a castle, a king and a princess!!!! We are so excited for her birthday in March. I certainly have my work cut out for myself this year. OUCH!!!! To be continued!!!

My Aunt Jo Jo and My little Pony

Emmie is still so little and learning everday. The things she says and thinks are still so literal to how she learns. We asked her if her aunt Jodi who we call Jo Jo was her Aunt and she replied. NOOOOOO, She is not an ANT she is Jo JO!!! I love it.....
She received her first "MY LITTLE PONY" and when I said to her look it is "MY LITTLE PONY" she replied, NO!! IT IS MINE!!! It took a while to try and get this through but I am still not sure she gets it...

Getting Caught up!!

We have been BUSY, BUSY, BUSY since our last post... We went to Hawaii for our friends wedding in Maui over Halloween and had the time of our lives. It was the off season. The weather was perfect and not a lot of visitors. I highly recommend this time of year. I am already planning next years visit. Our favorite thing was definetely the Molikini trip on the sail boat. We spent the day on a sailboat, snorkling at Molikini and Turtle Town with the turtles!! AMAZING!!! I especailly loved watching the sunsets on the beach... I wish I could stay forever....

I want my $10.00

Today Gabe came home from school and immediately said he was bored. I asked him to go make his bed. He came back down and asked me if he could help by taking out the garbage. I said yes, that would be great Gabe!!! While taking out the garbage Gabe asked me if he could have $10.00 for taking out the garbage. WOW!!! $10.00 that is a hefty price to pay for taking out the garbage. We agreed to $1.00. We are working on the negotiating skills. Stay tuned for the Real Estate Apprentice...... LOL!!!!

Witch with long legs

Emmie somehow thinks that stockings, hose, nylons etc. whatever you want to call them means long legs. It took me a while to figure it out. She has been telling me for a few weeks that she is going to be a witch with long legs for Halloween.... Not sure where this came from. I think a conversation between her and her grandma Dee. So the other day I put a pair of stretch pants on her with a cute long top and she said to me "Mommy, I am a princess". I said yes Emmie you are and she said with long legs!!!!! I laughed so hard I cried....

With Daddy's help

On Thursday Todd was working from home and helped me get Emmie ready for school while I was doing work stuff in the office. He got her in the bath tub and before I knew it she was ready for school. I asked if he brushed her teeth? Yes, he said. Get her dressed? yes, he said. What is she wearing?I asked concerned. Her little 70's outfit thing he said. I had no idea what this was and interested to see... What about her hair? Did you do her hair? Yes, he said. You can imagine what I must have been thinking... I had to get a picture.. And I realized at that moment that it did not matter what she was wearing or how her hair was done but that dad did it and did a great job. I don't always have to do everything even though I think I do.....

We are very lucky to have such a wonderful Daddy and husband......

My Sweet Boy

Gabe is so thoughtful... While we were at Bear River Lodge last weekend Gabe took a stroll over to the little store there to see what he could find. One of several trips to look at any possible toys to buy...

On Sunday before we left he took his final trip to see what he could find.. I think he is definetely my son.

When he came back he had bought me a bracelet. He saw the jewelry on his first visit and told his dad that he wanted to buy his mom a present cause he knew she really liked jewelry. Well, he managed to tell every single family memeber that he saw a bracelet that he was going to buy and surprise his mom with and kept it a secret from me the whole weekend. What a sweet boy!!!!

He even put the worms on my hook for me and reminded me how to cast. It has been a long time...
