We are officaially for sale! We have scrubbed and cleaned and painted and finally we are showing! We have a great realtor Brian Smith. We have the sign in the yard and the lockbox on the door! We are keeping th ehouse clean and ready to show. The kids have given up most of the toys and are excited to move. Especially ALiya who talks about moving to Idaco (Idaho) every day! Dan and I have prayed hard and have done lots of soul searching and thought long and hard about what we want and need for our now and our future! We have put everything into the Lords hands! We feel great about it but don't know what the future holds which is always scarey!

My sick Emma


I went to bed last night knowing I had a ton of stuff to do today. Emma was the first one to come into my bed last night. Since Dan was out of town I told her to go to the bathroom and then get in. She did and snuggled down and we went back to sleep. Much later Aliya came into bed snuggled in and went to sleep. Around 6:30am Emma woke up telling me her tummy hurt. I started to rub it and she said it was hurting all night. I told her to try and go to the bathroom and see if that would help. She came back saying she felt much better. And we went back to sleep for a little while. Dallin woke up around 7:30 and came and woke emma and aliya up to come and watch tv with him. I rolled over not wanting to get up yet. Next emma came to me telling me she still didn't feel good and was going to take a shower. Surprised that she didn't want help I once again layed back down, only to have emma come back in and say she changed her mind she wanted a bath. Emma and Dallin both know how to start a bath so I slowly got up and went to the bathroom. Dallin ran up the stairs and said Emma was throwing up in the bathtub. I ran down and she was standing up saying she still didin't feel good. I started the shower for her and then ran and got her a towel and also picked up Lilly who was awake now (with a nasty diaper). Emma got out feeling better. Dallin and aliya where yelling at the tv because diego was asking them to repeat what he said. I had to laugh. Lilly inspite of the nasty diaper was excited about life! Emma decided food didn't sound good and went to lay on the couch. Dallin and Aliya and lilly had banana's and cereal for breakfast. I thought it would be easy on the stomach.

Since then Emma has thrown up 3 more times. She knows her body so before she would even say something she was in the bathroom hugging the toilet. she would come out and lay back down. She is very independant though. she went and got herself a throw up bowl and then came and sat back down on the couch. all I could help with was holding her hair while she threw up. She is soooo beautiful evenwhile she is sick. I am amazed as she gets older how she goes from this crazy little baby to my amzingly helpful big girl! She can not tell a lie either! The minute she does something wrong she has to come and tell you! Yesterday she got into my makeup and before she came down the stairs she was saying ," Mom don't be mad!". She is compassionate, loving and works to help others. And She is a talker like no other! She is very stubborn though. But I try and remember that we want that! We want her to not follow the crowd and to be willing to be different and stand up for herself!

She is feeling a little better! Hopefully she can stop throwing up and feel great! I love my Emma and am very thankful I have her!!!!

I love lettuce!!

I never thought this day would come! My girl loves Salad!! Dallin would scream at anything green when he was this age. I would try and make healthy things but hated when it came time to eat because he would always scream! Thankfuly we have gotten over that with much patience and enduring he now eats lots of veggies and fruit and is willing to try almost anything once ( we have realized that after him throwing up every time he tried to eat green beans that they are not worth it!)! But lettuce has never been something he likes. So I never put it on their plates ( I know shame on me). Then one day dan and I had Salad for lunch. Dan went back for more and Aliya saw him eating some and asked if she could have some of it. He said yes and gave her a bowl of lettuce with a little ranch on it. She gobbled down the whole bowl and than asked for MORE!!! I was so happy! Of course I had to take pictures! It turns out she and Emma love lettuce (with ranch) and eat it all the time! I am a veggie lover so watching my kids eat healthy veggies makes a momma proud!!
