Back from Twilight!

So I have spent the last 7 days reading the Twilight series! - thanks Ashleigh for letting me borrow them! I never had any interest at all in reading those books but I was babysitting at Shelly Kearley's and her boys go to bed so early....so I started reading Breaking Dawn. Yes, I know its the last one, but its the only one she had out! So I got home around 10pm and headed to Walmart to buy my own.......I can't believe how addicting those books are! Anyways Bill has whined all week about everything I haven't done (I don't dispute that but somehow I couldn't tear myself away until I was finished!!!) anyways so I am back from the Twilight! and now I have to catch up on everything I put aside!!!! ugh!!!!

Amazing Adventures of Emma!!!!!

What a day she has had!!!! I just have to start out with these photos! So I received some new items from Stampin Up! today and so of course I want to try them out! Well Emma loves to play with scrapbooking things too. So she takes a pack of colored brads and dumps them out on the coffee table (see photo 1!) then she "feeds" them to her baby; because the baby is "hungy". In all fairness, she did mention she was doing this but I still don't always understand her language and well I was busy with my new "toys" so she keeps feeding the baby and I keep playing. Then I decide I need to pay attention to her. The first thing I notice is the brads on the coffee table (still photo 1) as I start to pick them all up to put them away I notice she is taking them out and bringing them to where her baby is laying. Then I hear her say "baby, hungy" then I watch, in horror, as she shoves the brad down that baby's throat!!!!! So I try as calmly as possible to say "No! Emma!" "Baby is not hungry". The next thing I know is that I am giving that baby the heimlich.....really all it took was me turning her over and most of the brads just fell out of her mouth and throat! (See photo 2) but I did have to do some shaking and heimliching because that baby is made to eat, pee and poop! Fortunately, I think I was successful in the brad retrieval. But as you can see in photo 3 - Emma was not happy about me taking the food from her baby! Not happy at all!

Someone Help Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, down at the bottom of this blog are pictures....how do I get them to be smaller????????
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back from Denver....

So we came back from Denver on Monday late (around 11:30pm)....Emma and I went right to sleep until the alarm rang (its my phone actually) 8:00am - I have to get Gage to the bus stop by 8:37 am or he will miss it! I was so tired all day - I didn't even bother to un-pack (not a surprise for me!). Emma loved Meghan's wedding. Emma thought Meghan was Giselle from Enchanted. She followed her around all evening and made her hold her too! It was pretty funny, especially when Meghan started singing and talking like Giselle! Emma has been putting toys in the refrigerator at night and then Bill & I find them the next day. I don't know why she is doing this, but it really makes me laugh! She does it on her own....we don't help her in anyway! Yesterday, it was one of her Ariel dolls and today - its her phone! I wanted to take the kids to the Big Red Barn today but Gage said no..............maybe tomorrow! Please excuse my dirty refrigerator!

Old Year's Resolution

So I say "Old" year's resolution because the year is almost over! but last night I was at a meeting for the Young Women (I am a counselor) and anyways I think I am the only one who doesn't keep up a blog - I mean I started one....and my intent was to write in it regularly....but obviously I haven't made the time! So my resolution is to write in my blog more often....so I don't feel left out! hahahahah

So this weekend we are going to Denver to see Meghan Beals get married. We haven't been to Denver since Josh's wedding in March, 2005. We are looking forward to it! We are going to stay with Noah and Chrissy and do a lot of catching up because I am a horrible corresponder (as you can tell by my timely blog posts!).

Gage is in first grade and doing really well with his reading and math skills. Emma is improving on her "bossing" skills and speaking skills and her desire to eliminate me from Bill's attention skills! Bill thinks she is sooooo funny! well actually I do to! anyways I have to go watch Blue's Clues - again!
