Preschool year #2

Our little Emma girl started her second year of preschool. This little girl was geared up and all ready for another year. She misses the deadline by a few days and so she wasn't able to start kindergarten this year. She is SO ready for kindergarten. We have been trying to study it out of what our options are. She has been ready to read since last school year. So we tried finding a school that could give her more of a challenge and start her on her reading while she's pumped to do it. Her teacher from "My Smart World" in May after the Preschool program told me that Emma is advanced and will probably be bored with another year of preschool but to supplement her. I try doing that but we felt like she still needs a good school that could give her challenge, especially since baby #3 is on his/her way in December, I knew my hands would be tied.  We chose "Kids Village" and so far she is LOVING it. She brings home a new book every week and is so quick to pass it off. They have fun workshops like cooking, art, science, and music classes along with her core class. She can't get enough of it. We are so happy and proud of her. 

 Here she is with her new teacher Miss Kathleen.

Good luck with another school year sweet Emma.

Thomas Jumping!

By request, here's Thomas jumping down the stairs with Emma.

1, 2, 3 and he's OFF!!!!!!!

Everyday I will hear Thomas' cute voice say to himself, "one, two, threeeee" (sometimes he'll count to ten:) then he'll FLLLLLLY through the air off the stairs. This boy sure loves to jump everywhere he goes.

 Then he adds his somersaults to end with a sly finish! :) Love this little guy!

Emma's decorating skills

 Emma cracks us up with her decorating skills around our household. Above is a candy necklace in one clothes pin and a paper doily and mini word book in another. Just hanging on our stair well.

These beauties were found hanging on her bedroom door. Crayons, her nauvoo necklace, and a plastic bracelet. So pretty :)

 (Having a hard time with blogger today. It's not letting me put the curser where I want. Sorry it's all scattered.)

 

 Emma has also added her doily to the front porch railing to go along with our patriotic banner. 

She has also decked out her room, toys, and furniture with all her hair bows...every. single. one. of her hair bows. She cracks us up!

Bun in the Oven

We are very excited to announce...

Frazier Baby #3 is on his/her way! 

I am 15 weeks along and baby is due this Christmas season!

and there are hard days..

It was a hard day for me the other day and my family knew it. Derek took Emma to go run errands and came home with these flowers. While at the store she told Derek, "Daddy, I want to buy some flowers for Mommy." With her own money that she always brings anytime we go to stores might I add.  She picked out these beauties and brought them home to me. Oh how I love her. I have such a beautiful daughter who loves me and is so quick to show her love for me even when Mommy has very hard days. Thank you Emma. Thank you for being you.

Our little Swan

Emma had her first ballet performance. It was the Utah Regional Ballet production of Swan Lake. We were so proud of Emma. The week before her rehearsals and performance, a bench fell on her big toe. It was in pretty bad condition. I took her to a couple doctors. The first doctor drained her toe because there was so much blood built up under the toe, hoping it would relieve some pressure. Then her pediatrician told us how to care for it in preparation for the toe nail to fall off. He felt confident she could dance in her performance. I was SO stressed that whole week. But after all was said and done, she made it! She danced her little heart out and did beautiful! It was very entertaining watching her and her cute class. 

The last night of her last performance they let us take pictures of the dancers at the finale. Look at these pictures. Emma was SO ECSTATIC to find us in the front row. She really felt like a star! :)

Here she is with one of her dance friends, Sophia.

She was so thrilled to find her loved ones there to support her. Here she is with Oma and Uncle Dylan.

Auntie Kimmy

She looks so serious in this picture.

She was so excited to go get a treat after the show. We took her to Iceberg and got some shakes and fries. She was a happy camper. Sure proud of you Emma girl. WAY TO GO!
