happy birthday Emma




Emma's birthday was nov 9th. we celebrated it a little early as i needed to go home and pack the house.

so we picked out a special Tinkerbell cake. Bought tinkerbell the movie. and had sphaghetti (her favorite) lol . when daddie got home we opened up the tinkerbell tattoos and everyone had to put one on ( even the boys) Then she put on her tinkerbell costume and away we went to neverland lol. She had a blast and loved all her tinkerbell barbies we got (all the new ones from the new movie)

Dad didnt love that his tinkerbell tattoo didnt come off for a couple days lol..i asked if he showed all the guys lol.

I cant believe Emma is 5 now!! she is getting so big. she is such a drama queen. lol in fact her middle name should be drama. it fits perfect hehe.

She was sad she didnt have all her friends from preschool there ( she asked how they were al going to come to her birthday especially gabe and i didnt have anything to say to that...it was very sad) but of course daddy being there made it the best

things we love about emma

She loves to help clean. she will clean anything u ask ( unless its to pick up toys lol)

She has the most contagious laugh. the minute its out its loud and clear.

She loves her daddy to death..would do anything for him

She loves her best friend gabe. she talks about him all the time

She hates her belly showing, we have to have shirts long enough cause nothing can touch the" budda" lol

She loves to color, and play with little things, she is a collector..at any one time she can take a bag and fill it with anything she gets her hands on (usually paper that she has torn in pieces) she then carries it around all week.

She loves to watch movies and sing, she knows the words to any number of songs which she will sing full blast at any given time :)

we love her and so glad she is part of our family

happy birthday emma

my best freind


Wanted everyone to meet my best friend melissa. ive been thinking alot about her as im out here in my trailer all alone lol. Yesterday i had a bad day and all i could think of is if i was home i would have gone over to melissa's and we would have let the kids run crazy and talked grown up talk (rare indeed) lol about our crazy lives and husbands and kids and in the end feel better!!

Melissa and I met many years ago, before i even lived in corinne. we took foster training classes together in brigham city. we hit it off right from the start. we told each other after the classes wed stay in contact. so we called each other now and then as she adopted a little boy named gabe..and we adopted emma. then we moved to corinne. and she lives in honeyville so i gave her a call and we started to do things together. lets just say we could talk for hours and hours...we would get together and let the kids run, watch movies, go out to eat, or just sit and talk. we always said we evened each other out..as she is high energetic out going , and im more laid back and slow paced. she would always get on me for letting people walk all over me, and champion whatever cause i was on lol. and i would bring her back to earth ( she knows what im talking about lol)

And the strange thing? our kids emma and gabe became best friends too. its like they knew each other from the start. and even now since we moved they talk about each other and say how they miss each other.

I told melissa i think we were friends in the pre-exsitance lol we finally found each other and i told her no matter the space between us we will always be friends forever!!

So i wanted to dedicate this blog to my best friend melissa. i miss u, and im so glad you are my friend. You will always be a part of my life, and heart. and i pray we will always stay close ( cause im coming to crash ur house as i wont have one soon lol)

And even in the future, we will kick butt playing wow, talking movies...or just talking adult talk( y that rare stuff) i am so lucky to found a friend like you. you are like a sister to me and always will be!! love ya tons. and wish you the best always!!

dont forget me when u become a famous aurthur !! i better at least have one book dedicated to me hehe.

And i hope everyone else takes a minute to think of a special friend in there lives..and remeber how much we need friends!! to brighten our days and make them better!!

halloween!





Halloween !! these are my two scary kids lol. Wade wanted to be a clone trooper, and emma a pink pirate. we started the day out with the parade at wade's school. then me and emma went did some errands where everyone thought she was the cutest pirate they had ever seen lol. (thank goodness for walmart heh) then we took the kids to walmart for a candy costume parade. which turned out quite fun. they led the kids all around walmart by little signs on the floor, and each department decorated a candy bowl. lots of fun. the best was the craft dept. who built a haunted castle that you had to put ur hand in to get the candy. emma stuck hers in and the person behind touched her with something fuzzy, she jumped about a mile high!! lol then after that we waited for dad to come home and went good old fashioned trick or treating up around the schools in a cute little neighborhood. the kids loved it, and dad had a blast taking candy "tax" from each of the kids lol. then we got kfc chicken and came home and ate. all in all it was a great night. and the kids got plenty of candy for me to hide for a year! lol
