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......

Emma and Molly are great friends!

Emma loves to play with her sister. She likes to use moms couches for a jungle gym!

Emma's six year exam

Emma had her six year physical this month. She is a very healthy girl. We have been working out her allergy symptoms one by one. She is no longer restricted from wheat products which is very exciting to mom. She is weighing in at 46lbs 9.6oz, and 3'11" with a body mass of 14.83.
This puts Emma in the 49.79% for stature and 40.22% for weight. the doctor said it does not get much more average than that! Emma is close to the same size as Molly and they are three years apart. I thought it was that Emma was tall for her age but it turns out Molly is growing much slower than average. (Her dad's family grows most in teenage years) Well Emma does not get another physical for two years and she is very thankful. She is not a fan of getting shots. In fact it took mom and two nurses to hold her down for her flu shot this year. She is one tough girl!

The things she says!

During our gospel study at bed time Emma looks over her dads shoulder and says "dad are you reading a blurb?" Molly says "whats that" and Emma replies "it is just a little hint what the story is all about you can usually find them and the start or bottom of a story or the front or the back" When I asked where she learned this she said "library". I am so surprised by her growing vocabulary!

Getting the Mail

Emma loves checking the mail with her dad. She loves it when she gets mail from her father and grandma. This is usually her first stop after school.
