Emily Claire

Lately this kid has been cracking me up with her firecracker temperament and gumption to be outdoors. On my way back from Las Vegas we stopped in Beaver to fill up with fuel and treats...while I was there I spotted a coon skin cap. She went for about two weeks without taking it off....even putting it in her backpack so she could wear it at recess.
This is Em eating her usual breakfast...Crisp Bean Burritos from Taco Time cut up into bite sized pieces. Served in MY bed. Not the most healthy thing for breakfast but keeps her regular nonetheless.
On veterans day I had to run into WalMart and on my way out I gave a vet sitting at the door a few dollars and in return he gave me a little fake flower with a thank you for donating attached. Em was sitting in the car with Jeff and saw the small exchange take place...Her comment:
"Um..mom? Does he know your married?"
They guy was easily into his 90's.

Every day is filled with adventure..like today....I had to tell her no to charging neighbor kids $0.15 to see her frog...
Maybe I should have let her if she would have agreed to put all earning towards my rest home bill.

New Shoes

These are my new favorite shoes:
they are made out of recycled rice bags...
and to make them even better they are made by Keen.
(Thanks Jessie!)

I have a great post about Emily that is coming soon but before that I wanted to show you all what a lucky girl I am:Yes, that's Flight of the Conchords or FOTC.

I was lucky enough to get tickets and a clean hotel room in Vegas (is that an oxymoron?).

I needed side splitting humor for one night in a bad way and I got it.

I also learned that Wheel of Fortune slot machines are very addictive.

But that's just from watching other people cause Mormons don't bet.
