Fun Time



Well, I finally got my pictures to post, So here is what we have been up to lately.
I made some great friends at work from my 1st training class, and we decided to get together outside of work and go bowling. We brought our families and all. It was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from Bowling and also some other pictures of EmmaLynn and her silly self. She is such a character these days!




Above are the 2 other kids that came bowling (Liz's Kids) and EmmaLynn They just loved her!
Here are all the girls that came.. I never did get a picture of all the guys... there were only 3 of them too... 
Here we are before we left for the bowling ally.

Here is Daddy and EmmaLynn She got one of the little girls play camera and loved it!





Here is another silly picture of EmmaLynn and her bucket head.. She has this thing with putting the bucket on her head! It's hillarious... she also loves playing in boxes. we keep the ones we get from Costco.

Here she is with all the jewelry.. bracelet and all.. She thought it was so great! love the look on her face there!


Here she was just sitting at the table to eat.. and thought it would be funny to put her foot up to her face... what a goof... 

This was what I saw today when I looked over from picking up in the kitchen.. she had climbed on the box with one of her books and was looking at it! sooo cute! except after I took the picture she was trying to get down and fell over on her head... she kinda got trapped in the toys! she has figured out how to climb and get up on what ever she wants to... 
Here we are a few Sunday's ago, In a pretty new dress we got her. She has been growing like crazy since we got here.. must be the sun!? J/K
Another really cute face! love it!
Here she is with the bucket again.. pushing her cart... 
She loves to copy mommy and clean the floor.. so we shortened the swiffer and let her play with it.... she pretended to clean the floor! when I vaccume she follows me with the little baby stroller! 
This is my favorite picture of all... Her wide eyed kissy face!! I am so glad I captured this one! It is one of my favorites!  It is getting harder to capture her doing something cause as soon as I pull the camera out she wants to look at pictures!

I still have yet to get the video of her saying her cute little things... it will come soon! Hope everyone is doing well!

Computers are starting to drive me crazy!

So, I have some extremely cute pictures and a very cute video of EmmaLynn that I have been trying to post for a while now... I just got internet hooked up here at our apartment...  (YAY ME) so now I can pay bills on time... and not have to worry about dragging EmmaLynn all the way over to the club house to pick up internet.... 
So for now all I have is the boring text and hopefully if anyone knows how to fix it.. I would love to know.. it just never uploads the pictures.... Till then, I will leave you with a cute story..

This afternoon we were getting ready to walk out the door and go down to the volleyball court to play volleyball with some of the guys from Dan's work. Dan was saying " come on hunny lets go" and the next thing we know EmmaLynn says " C'mon hunny" lol... she is starting to copy everything she possibly can from us... Her vocabulary is growing everyday! Love it! can't wait for you to see the videos!

Memory Game

1. Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together.  It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember.


2. Next, re-post these instructions on you blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assumer you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. I can't wait to see what people remember about me!

This is how you play you put 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 Goals, 3 current obsessions/collections and 3 random surprises about yourself.
3 joys
- My Daughter, She is a joy everyday, even if she is throwing a fit.. she still makes me smile and feel so much love for her!
- My Family, This is including my husband of course, but also my sisters including inlaws. Jenny, and Brooke Eleasha and Sariah are the ones I talk to the most.. Miss you all so much!
-The Gospel, It brings so much joy and hope and assurance into my life!
3 Fears
- People thinking I am mean or people being mean to me....
- loosing someone in my family like my daughter or husband or sisters.. it is too early for them right now and would miss them terribly... 
- and Spiders! YUCK! they are super creepy and fast little buggers!
3 Goals
- Pay off all our Debt so I can be a stay at home Mom
-Finish school someday
-Travel to another country
3 current obsessions/collections
- So when I moved to Florida my neighbors wife started the Twilight series and passed them on to me... I read them all in a week... and I am waiting for when the new book comes out.. Also can't wait for the movie!
- tortilla chips and Hummus a great snack
- headbands, due to lack of time to do anything else but flip and put a headband in my hair in the mornings.... I need a hair cut soon.. it is getting too long! 
3 Random Surprises 
- Living in Florida and working at a call center with floridians I have learned some different lingo! hehe.. I have a few reps who help me out... "she's from Idaho" they all get a laugh and explain what it means.. I am learning fast though! Also I don't think I have ever seen so much cleavage in public in my life! :) 

- I have learned how much patience I do have, over the last few weeks at work and how not strict I am .. I got to train a class on the t-mobile stuff, and I am not quite as shy in that type of environment... I actually wasn't even really that nervous... I have another one coming up next week. 
- I like cooking for company, but not for ourselves... Every sunday we have some of the guys over from Dan's group and I make dinner and we play games.... It is much more fun to cook for company these days.. The meals are much better somehow! :) 


I am Tagging Everyone on my friends list who hasn't already done it!

Times are changing.

Well I have finally had a minute, and somehow have picked up someone elses internet in my apartment! WOO HOO! I love not having to pay for internet! It isn't a very strong signal however it will do. So lately we have been doing a whole lot of working of course and EmmaLynn has done a whole lot of growing! I can't believe how big she is getting and the words she is saying! This is such a fun stage for me!

The other day I was reading her a Sesame Street Book, voices and all, and I said to her in a kinda Grover voice " Hi my name is Grover what is your name?" To which she said "emmlmn" is the best I can try to tell you in writing... I will have to get a video of it.. it is soo cute... She says apple and just today she started saying "oh man" in her cute little voice! She says turtle, and juice and please in sign mostly. I just can't believe how much she understands... It is so fun! She knows and will point to her Eyes, nose, mouth, ears, head, toes, and hands. oh and says all of them besides hands and mouth... when we say " where is your mouth" she says " ahhh" and opens her mouth and sticks out her tounge! So fun! In the grocery stores when ever someone looks at her she says HI.... and when we get to the checker she says hi then bye when we are leaving... they love it! hehe. So we have had so much fun.... I am trying to teach her all sorts of words.. I love to see her face when I talk cause she watches how I say it and she tries to copy everything I say even if she can't really say it! I know I have said it before but it is sooo fun and I love this part of being a mom!

Dan has been working really hard at work trying to get those security systems installed. I think he is getting a little better. We don't get a chance to see a lot of each other unless he happens to get off work early. He usually ends up working about 45 min to 1 hr away from home and they knock doors till 9:00 or so at night. I have to get up at 6 am every morning during the week so I can't stay up past 10:30 without being completely useless the next day.
This last weekend 4th of July he got off early Friday and Saturday! So we got to use a gift certificate to the Olive Garden my boss gave me and we even watched fireworks at the mall... Definitely miss fireworks over the lake though... We really had a great weekend!

Work is going well so far, and I got my raise that I wanted... I think I might have put that in here before. Still miss being full time mom though! Hope all is well with everyone and I will try to get some more pictures and a video of EmmaLynn up.
