I completely laugh over the fact that my phone has about 50 (or more) selfies of Emily. Seriously. She knows how to use the camera and isn't afraid of using it. My life is pretty awesome. Who wouldn't want to constantly finding these on the phone?!

 She let me in for a few :)

Angela got a "how-to-draw princesses" book this week when we went to the Library. Tonight while Andrew was at the Priesthood Leadership Stake Training, Angela and I pulled out the book and had some serious fun with drawing. Look at our pretty pictures! :) Thanks Ang!

I love that my good friend, Brindi, and I switch off babysitting so we can go to the temple during the day. It was my turn to babysit and I love that it fell on a day off of school. They have 3 girls...all the same ages.

 Carolyn and Mayci have this card exchange thing going on. I am not allowed to read the cards (as Carolyn tells me) but do know they have started some clubs together.

Emily dancing! When the music stops, she goes to a picture she wants to talk about with me. The testimony of a child is so beautiful. I love hearing Emily's pure and heartfelt testimony of her Savior. There is no doubt she has a Father in Heaven. That He loves her. That she has a Savior. I love that. M

Emily's Preschool

I got to be a teacher for Preschool today. I had so much fun preparing for it and being able to see Emily with her friends. It was so fun. And look sat Emily's gorgeous hair flowing around as they played a dancing game. I love that I get to be with her all of the time.

 She did it!! Her first play! It was intense. One week her practices were daily until after 9 PM and lots of practices during the week. It took a lot and Carolyn did great! AMAZING play. The cast was incredible and it was so exciting that Carolyn was a part of it. The director went out of her way two times to express to Andrew and me how Carolyn has done amazingly. The director (Toni) said Carolyn was better focused and acted better than some of her older cast members. The Riewarts (in our ward and big acting family) were impressed and explained Carolyn as a "ham" after watching the performance. :) It was so fun that lots of people saw it. Many from the ward...cousins Anna and Katie came one night...her teacher, Ms. Ellis even came.  Carolyn just loves her cast friends. The munchkins had to sit backstage for hours and entertain themselves during the performances. It was funny hearing what they would come up with to keep each other entertained. YAY for Carolyn!

I love how my girls can start the night off in their own beds but often end up snuggled in one! :) Look at Carolyn's arm around Emily :) Sisters are the best and I love my girls!
