Happy 11th Birthday Emma!

I can't believe she's 11 already.  It sounds so old! This year spring break fell on her birthday so she didn't have to go to school.  She spent the morning with Amelia being "mother's helpers" with our sweet little girls from church.  They even got paid which was really exciting!  For dinner we had Chinese food, sushi, and toffee cupcakes.  There is going to be a sleepover this weekend.  Her favorite gift? A Kindle fire! Pretty soon we won't have to talk to each other at all around here :)

At dinnertime we all said things we love about Emma. Luke loves how she let him into the buddy group. I'm not sure what that means.  Amelia loves how sometimes she's generous and when they talk at night.  I love how she is kind to people who may not have many friends,  and Joel loves how she's helpful calming Luke down sometimes when he's throwing a huge fit.  There are many, many other things we love about her, this is just a short list.

Misc. from November






Amelia's class did a great job leading chapel.


I'm not sure what prompted this.


Or this.



Molly had to make an appearance


Luke lost some teeth


Pretty Mia


Her birthday gift - piggy slippers


Are we having a tea party?  I can't remember.




I went to another concert (Dierks Bentley) with some friends from BSF.  It was so fun!  He's not even close to being as good as Neil, but he is one of my favorite country singers.

More Christmas and Amelia's 9th birthday!

The kids did dress up for the Christmas program at school so I took as many pictures as possible.




I love this one.  I need to enlarge it and frame it.
