Dad you're an ogre

Last Sunday Emmie was in the bathroom with me while I was putting on my makeup. John comes in a shows Emmie his big bugger. Emmie didn't even care to look at him and said, "Dad, you're a ogre."

Emmie the artist

In the last few months Emmie really has developed quite the artistic talent. She could color and draw all day long. I love her little pictures that she likes to draw. Here is a picture of our family.

Draper Temple Open House

Tonight we went to the Draper Temple Open House. Me, John, Will, Emmie, Jason, Grandpa Scott, Grandma Sing, Hillary, and Tyler came with us. The kids were totally awesome. Even with four trips to the bathroom, three for Emmie and one for Will, the whole experience was great. If you ask the kids what part they liked the best they will tell you that the cookies at the end was their favorite part.
While we were walking through John was holding Emmie and she was looking back over his shoulder and said (while pointing) "Look, that big guy has a big tummy." She was being truthful, but the guy hear her because he was only two people behind us. John was embarrassed and we tried hard not to laugh. I guess that it is a good thing she is only three.

Rock'n'roll Girl

Here is a funny viedo of Emmie doing somekind of dance. She really does have some dance talent. Maybe she gets form her dad, because you all know that is not me. Emmie might have a future on the high school drill team. Check it out how she "pulls the rope."

Emmie is so sweet!

Emmie is so sweet especially to her little brother. Jason was crying and she leaned over by his face, patted his back and in the sweetest little voice she said, "Shut-up, baby." She is learning it somewhere.

Could it be She-ra?

When we were out camping this weekend at Willow Park with John's side of the family, Emmie showed us all just how strong she is. This spare tire was leaning part way against another one, but Emmie still pushed it up and over. Yes, Will is just watching while I am taking pictures and no one is helping her. She is really strong. I am sure that she gets it from her mommy.

"Get me chicken..."

Durning breakfast my sweet little Emmiline said to me "Get me chicken, butt hole!" Wow! What did you say? Yeah, she got a long time out. Where did that come from? I don't know. Not from our family. It might have been comical if it was someone elses child, not mine.

Sweet Emmiline!

Emmiline has been so sweet lately. Ever since Will has started preschool Emmie has had a lot more alone time with me. Will goes to preschool Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for two hours. It is great for me and Emmie to be able to spend time together. Jason is usually asleep or just playing on the ground. The last few days Emmie and I get on the Internet to find coloring pages (mostly princess) to color together. Today we went to the store and I had the camera in the diaper bag so I had her cheese it up for a picture. Emmie is so cute, she had to have her backpack too because Will got to take his to preschool. Anyways she didn't want to put her Cheetos in the chart and she insisted that she should carry them. She is talking so much more and is now pretty much potty trained. Wahoo!
Emmiline is so sweet. She has a deep belly laugh that just melts your heart. She is such a girly girl and I love it. Pink this and pink that, pink everything. I love it that all the pink hair elastics are gone because she insists that we use them first. I love it that she thinks she needs Barbie cereal. "I need it!", she told me today. The pink marker in set that we just bought is almost dried up. Emmie likes to clean. She loves to have a wipe or washrag to clean things off. And it is a guarantee that she will try to pick Jason up in the morning to give him a love. One of her favorite things is to feed Jason some little fishies. She is just great and we love her.

Saturday!

If we are home on a Saturday it is a work day and then a play day. I am trying to get my kids to learn that we work before we play. Yesterday, we worked on the basement. John and I finished insulating so it is now ready for sheetrock. We are only finishing the family room and the play room for right now. It costs alot - more than we thought. We will probably sheetrock ourselves and then have some professional mud and tape. Although my husband is a professional in all that he does we just don't have time - I am impatient and want to have a princess party for Emmie downstairs for her birthday. Well we'll see how that turns out. I told John when we get the basement finished then we can get cable. Yes, I know what you are thinking, "holy cow, no cable". Actually it is great. The kids love PBS and there are no commercials.
Emmie picked Jason up and put him in her lab and said "take picture, mom." Emmie is really sweet with Jason; at least she has good intentions. Emmie loves Jason because he will play Barbies with her and Will won't. He actually likes to chew on the squishy barbie legs and eat some of the clothers. Emmie and Jason are 25 months apart.

Emmie wanted to print pages off the Internet and color. After a long day and way past a reasonable nap time I was trying to keep her busy so that she would not fall asleep. Recognize the coloring pages? You might if you were four years old in 1985. Yes, they are She-ra coloring pages. Emmie is fascinated with the "Princess of Power". I have a DVD of a few episodes and the He-man/She-ra cartoon movie and she loves it. It totally fits her personality. Emmie is a sweet little girl most of the time, but then in a moments notice she transforms into this defensive fighter super girl. You don't mess with Emmie when she is not so sweet. Emmie is not afraid to defend her territory or her Will or Jason.

Here is John working hard in the basement. He quite enjoyed himself working and listening to BYU kick some UCLA butt. Thanks John for the hard work. You are the best a gall could have.

Emmie and her cousins

Emmie best friends are her cousins. Here she is with Addie and Hannah. They all play good together. Hannah will be 2 in August, Emmie is 2 1/2, and Addie is 4 1/2.

Emmie with stickers

During conference (Elder Ballard's talk was awesome) Emmie decided to put Mickey Mouse stickers all over herself and then she thought that Jason needed some on his head. Jason was quite enjoying all of the attention, so I let Emmie finish her sicker creation.
