We had Sara’s kids over when she was getting close to having her baby. I had to run Ashley into the school and Emma kept all the kids. When I got home this is what I found;
All the kids had a book and Emma was reading aloud to them. I think they listen better to her then they do to me! Good work Emms!
Emma is a horse lover! Ryan hasn’t had much time to help her ride so she took matters into her own hands!
Happy girl, good horse!
I asked Emma to clean off the top of the freezer so we could be ready to move it out for our new flooring to be put in. She got it really clean, and then two brothers decided it was a good place to hang out!?
Emma painfully endured another basketball season. It is so hard for me to believe that there are people out there (well even in my house in fact) that don’t like basketball!? How is that possible!?? She says she will play next year too, I am happy. I think she secretly must like it a tiny bit?
She only had herself and Serena to play on the fifth/sixth grade team. So they combined with the younger girls and made a team of 7 I think, not many anyway. She doesn’t realize how lucky she is to get to play the entire game. She thinks it’s the worst to not have a sub! Funny girl!
Emma has been loving activity days. She made this cute little bird out of play dough and we got to to to a night all about me. She was excited to show things that she likes.
She keeps reminding me that she goes into young women this year…. She is quite excited!
Emma was in charge of Sunday dinner. Her chicken turned out beautiful and delish! She did a pretty good job! I have figured out if we are going to be on time then the girls are going to have to do some of the things I have always just done on Sunday mornings like, get the dinner in the oven. Plus they are learning how to make a nice meal. They both really like to do it, that could be because the other one has to do pick up or dishes!
We had Ward Conference, it was nice to have the Stake leaders there. The talks and lessons were great. Rett and I wrestled pretty hard through Sacrament meeting, but we didn’t have to leave, I wouldn’t really call it a success though…. He is a wild child!
Emma started her season, much to her dismay. She does not want to play and her mother cant understand why? I cant believe that she doesn’t LOVE basketball! She keeps making deals with me like, if I can put a password on my kindle then I will play. I say DONE! She is a funny kid.
She looks like a giant because she is…. she only had her and her BFF who wanted to play out of the 5th and 6th grade girls so they have to play on the 3rd and 4th grade teams. Its funny when she looks out at the other teams players and says wow, they are tall! I just tell her Emma, you are much taller then all of them, don’t worry about it!
She shot three times at he last game but didn’t make any, maybe this week? Meanwhile I keep hoping she will change her mind and start to love this game!
Emma has wanted a Kindle for quite a while. She saved up her own money to buy one but I told her we would go halves on it (what a smart mom, trick the kids into buying their own presents!) She was so excited to buy her own kindle, she worked hard for it!
Monster High doll.
New outfit!
Pouting little brother….
What a lucky 11 year old girl!
Emma and I had a great date lunch for her birthday. I love that the kids all like me to come to school and see them. It is a treat for me too!
Happy 11th birthday Emma Sue!
Ashley has always been our entertainer, but when it comes to little kids Emma entertains the best! She got her sidekick Jaci to help do experiment after experiment. I cant remember why they were over, that’s what happens when you take a month off from blogging! Oops! Anyway Emma did great keeping the kids busy. I do remember it was a fun day!
We are loving only going to school for 4 days. We are so exhausted by the end of Thursday I don’t think we could go another day! Im sure it has to do with going to school a little extra each day. I try not to go anywhere on Friday but I had to make a trip to town and Emma always volunteers to go shopping! She is her mothers daughter! Ashley is happy to stay home and babysit (occasionally, she likes to shop too)
We had a nice lunch at my favorite place and then shopped!
Fun day with Emma!
She loves them, I don’t. I guess its good to let her try something different. Only the boys noticed any difference at school, funny how that works!?
She is growing way to fast!
