I like to read blogs. So much that I have neglected my own. I sit down at my computer probably 2 times a day and I have a "Blogs I Follow" favorites folder and I check them out often. I reallly want to keep up with this. I always read about other bloggers children, but not my own and it makes me sad. Emerson, Evan and Easton are growing up so so fast.
Emerson is 8 years old and wants to be so big. She is a very thoughful little lady and enjoys doing things for others. Tonight she decided she'd like to bake a cake for a family in our Ward that just went to the Temple. So we did. She wrote a sweet letter and I drove her over to deliver it. Yesterday morning (we usually tell the kids t let us sleep in) she went to the kitchen and cleaned it up, and boy was it a mess! She did a great job even scrubbing the counters and loading the dishwasher! She enjoys reading... she's been reading the American Girl series and the Spiderwick Chronicles. Her hair is long and very thick. It's beautiful and she still has a great smile with a little dimple in her right cheek. She wants to start taking ballet lessons and I so want her to be able to, but money is so tight. It helped me in so many areas of my life and I know she would benefit too. Her sense of style is great. We have been fortunate enough to have friends with a daughter 1 year older and she gives us most of her clothes and shoes. Outside of socks and undies I rarely have to buy her things. She does love her brothers, but enjoys her own space.
We get her report card this week. Her tough subjects are Science and Math! Just like he mother!  The picture below is of us at our annual Gingerbread House building FHE.
