Girl scout horse trip

The girls learned all about horses! They groomed them, saddled them, learned how to ride and care for the gear. It was a great day...perfect weather and everyone had a great time. We finished the day with a picnic by the lake.

Scout night pics

Here is the scout night pictures. Better late than never I suppose. The girls had fun and earned there fire safety patch at our next meeting.

Scout night

The whole family had a great time at the annual scout night at the fire department. The girls learned alot about fire safety and even got to spray the fire hose. They learned how to escape if there was a fire and we got plenty of pictures to post. Emma is really showing signs of maturity when she engages me in insightful questions about fire escape plans and safety issues. I think they liked the fire arson dog the best.

Emma got a solo!!

Emma was really excited to be chosen to do a solo part in her first grade choir concert that they will perform next Tuesday. She practices all day and every member of the house knows her part as it is stuck in our heads because she is singing it so much. She has a very peaceful voice and I love to hear her sing. She has had a love for music since she was very young. I will be sure to post the performance pictures.

Emma over Spring break

Emma loves to read to read to her sissy. She also likes to play " we are going on an adventure," this a game she made up for Maya.

School Conferences

Today was school conferences. Emma's teacher said that she was doing so well we did not need one. Emma really wanted us to go to the free time to see what she is working on so Jeremy took her. Emma was very proud, she is expected at this age to be able to have a fluency of 39 wpm and Emma is at 87 wpm!! That is twice as fast as she should! She did well in all category's and brought home a recent three page test and she got 100%. We are off to celebrate!

As a family we have organized our schedual to accomidate all that we wish to do on a regular basis. Emma loves Monday because she gets her homework packet and it is our family home evening. She likes to pick the song. Thursday is nintindo wii night and is not her favorite but dad and Molly love it. Emma always wins when we all four play mario cart. She places first almost every time. Mom and dad are lucky to get sixth place. Emma says "it is easy, just like driving a real car" Uncle Trevor wanted to know how she would know what driving a real car was like??? Hmmm......
