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

here is another tag.. I think this one will be the most fun for me... This is a tag for everyone who reads this..  Have fun!

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.

Finally

Florida times

Here we are on our trip to Disney World

EmmaLynn really liked the Who-ville part of it.. She was so thrilled. We rode the Merry Go Round which she loved hated to get off it. Above here is a picture of her on a surf board! She looks so cute!!

here she is above peaking though the who door... Grandma Johnson was here with us this was after they brought our car here for us... it was so fun! Thank you!

Here is a perfect picture of her face.. this is like what she did when we walked into the who ville!
here is a picture of something she started doing recently.. she puts a bucket on her head and carries her baby around with her... It is quite funny!
We rode the Hulk roller coaster and just behind it is something we also rode on you sit in it then it shoots you up high then you fall back down and do it again.. it is soooo fun!!!!

Dancing to the music again.. she loves dancing.. I will have to put her in some dance classes when she gets older...

Grandma Johnson sent some dress up stuff for EmmaLynn here she is styling it!!!
This is one of her favorite places in our new apartment... we don't have a lot to fill our cupboards so this is where she plays! she puts stuff in here sits in here closes the door and plays peekaboo! It is so fun!
We went to the Florida Aquarium last week here she is in a little snail shell. So cute!!!

Here she is sporting those sunglasses again!
Some of the cool fish she liked
Here she is staring at the big turtle in the aquarium

This is a picture of some of the storms we get here in Florida.. the dark you see is coming toward us.. a few minutes later it was blowing like crazy thundering and lightening and pouring down rain!!!

So, It has been a while since I updated due to the crazy work schedule I have been working. I have been working monday - Saturday, and by the time I get home I just want to play with EmmaLynn and get what I can done at home and go to bed to start again the next day. Work is alright. Somewhat unorganized. I will be Training a new hire class the next 2 weeks. With the way things have been going Dan and I have only had Sunday to spend time together and with EmmaLynn. It should slow down this next week and I should finally get 2 days off in a week... but we will see what happens.. I should be getting a raise on monday.. I am hoping for a big one.. otherwise, I might end up deciding it isn't worth my time away from my daughter.. However I am pretty sure they will give me what I want.. They can't afford to loose me now.. As far as everything else goes.. Well there really hasn't been time for much else... EmmaLynn is talking more and more everyday.. I figured out today that when I ask her to say please she starts to throw a fit... But, when daddy asks her she will sign it for him.... what a stinker right!? oh boy the battles that are to come... she is finally starting to get her 5th tooth and 6th tooth... slowly but surely! That is all for now... Hope everyone else is doing great! Below is a funny video of EmmaLynn watch it till the end! 

Florida Life

Well living here in Florida is quite a different experience, it is hot , humid and fun for the most part.... when it is really hot we go to the pool.. it is pretty much like a big bath tub... but fun nonetheless... 

So I told you about going to an interview for the T-mobile that is launching at the outsourcing call center here in Tampa... Well I went in for my interview on Wednesday... and when they found out that I was a Customer Care rep for T-Mobile and knew everything they didn't know.. they not only offered me the job but immediately offered to have me as a Coach or Supervisor! So it turned out better than I expected it to! They were going to have me start on the 16th, but decided since I knew everything they would start me in the middle of a training class that was already going just as a refresher... So starting Monday I went to training which turned out to be extremely boring cause it didnt' take long for it to all come back considering it has only been 6 months out of the systems I used 5 days a week for the last 2 years ..... Anyway, I am done with training and I start coaching on the floor on monday... I have an early schedule from 8-5  mostly will be 8-4 and Dan is with her all morning till about 12.... then he drops her off with one of the other guys who he works with, julie and she watches her for about 4 hours... She worked as a nanny before though so she is really good with her and EmmaLynn likes her... So it has worked out really well... I am still trying to decide if I like the whole working thing still... cause I did really enjoy being with EmmaLynn all day everyday... I miss being mommy... so we will see how long I last... It will depend on what they decide to pay me and if it is worth the time I miss with EmmaLynn... Dan might just have to pick it up and work really hard... I might only do it for a couple of months... who knows... It is something I am really thinking and praying about. So we will see what happens... 

Dan has been doing alright at work. It is a challenge some days. so we are still trying to get things going... I Still am not sure where I am or where anything is besides grocery store work and home... i have yet to explore... our ward is super tiny, but seems alright for only being there one week so far... 

Oh yea, and while I was here the girl across the hall from me... she is another wife here, gave me the books Twilight to read.... They were pretty much great books!!! love them.. and I am eager for the next one to come out this august!!!! Then of course in December there is a movie about it coming out.... What a good writer!!! So if anyone hasn't read those books yet.. you should!!! 

I have limited access to the internet I have to go all the way to the club house to get free internet... maybe if I stay working we will get it at home sometime... for now my posts are probably going to be much more spread out few and far between. I hope everyone else is having a great summer! can't wait to hear updates... seems I am not the only one who hasn't posted in a while!!!
