My gramma and grampa moved here a month and a half ago from Arizona. It's really cool having them live here. Now I just need to get my other Nana out here.

My brother is 5 months old now.

My favorite babysitter, Claire, came to visit me. She goes to college in Boston. I miss her. She is so fun! She brought me and my brothers Christmas ornaments.

My mom's little girl that she used to nanny moved here to stay with us for 2 weeks. Her name is Elisa. I like her. She's nice. Here is her blog.

My Dad and I just went to Washington, DC. It was super duper fun! We went to the Smithsonian. We saw the "Hope" diamond. I think it was kind of puny. My dad thought it was big. In the Smithsonian there were butterflies in this one room and you get to go inside and they, like, fly on you.

Um, and we saw the Washington Monument. We went to the top. Half of it is white and half is yellow.

We saw the White House. There was a fountain in the back.

We also saw the Lincoln Memorial.

We swam at our hotel.

And, that's what I did in Washington.

My dad had some work for Compassion International in Washington, DC, so I went along with him. We went to this one church and I ate a bunch of cream puffs. The whole church sponsored the moms and babies in my dad's program.

My mom and Ryan stayed home. I don't really know what they did.

That's it.

Bye.

Arrrrrr Matey!

A few days ago was Halloween.

Did you get lots of candy?

What were you for Halloween?

I was a pirate.

I got like, at least 5 lbs of candy.

How much did you guys get?

I donated half of my candy to the gingerbread house my mom and I are making soon. You'll have to come back and see what we're doing this year.

Christmas is my favorite holiday. What is yours?

I wanted a red-headed wig so badly. I couldn't stop thinking about it. My mom bought me a wig. And guess what?! It was itchy and hot! It was fun! My Auntie Tonja went Trick or Treating with me. So did my mom and dad and baby brother. He was a bear. We also went to a party down the street at my friend's house. They had spider webs on their house. I asked my mom and dad if we could have spider webs but they just like pumpkins for Halloween decorations. My mom hates spiders.

That's all.

BABY

Oh, did I mention that my mom had a baby 4 weeks ago. His name is Ryan. He's really cute. He makes the funniest facial expressions.

This girl sent us a picture of him yawning. She sent it as a joke, he's the one who keeps you up at night.

Sometimes when he cries he gives us "the lip". He has a really cute outfit that has a dog on the buns.

He has brown hair and blue eyes. He looks like me except I have blonde hair (well really light brown).

Did I tell you I got a baby puppy named lady. She is 6 months old. She's black and has brown eyes. She weighs only 4 pounds.

And I'm also doing home-school. It's really fun.

BYE!

I went to the Dominican Republic or DR with my daddy.

We stayed at a pretty house with a lot of other people. There was a pool there and me and my dad went swimming. And then we went snorkeling and I inhaled salt water. That did not taste good. We saw some really pretty fish. I held two really big starfish that were spiky.

We saw what my dad does. He works at Compassion International and helps kids in need. We saw this girl. At first her spine was wavy kinda like somebody's wavy hair, but then she got nails in it and it straightened it out. I thought it would hurt but she said it didn't.

We went to a hospital that helps kids. It's called CURE International. We had lunch there and met kids.

I came home with 53 mosquito bites.

Now I'm going to camp. Have a good week!

This is a picture of me skydiving. I hope you like it.

I know this is random but I want to put a picture of my cute little Abraham. He is my cousin. He is so, so cute! I hope you like him.

I already lost my tooth, but I want to put a picture of my wiggly tooth. I am sorry if you are grossed out, but what's it to ya? It's just a wiggly tooth!

I am also putting a picture of my gramps and me. Can you believe it? He is almost 93! I have two great Great Grandpas.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, my mommy's pregnant but don't read her blog, mine is better. She put a long story about hamsters and how I found out she was pregnant but if you read my blog, it's shorter and easier.

And also, we are going to get a dog. Well, that's all for today. Goodbye.

I was an Egyptian for Halloween. I was Moses' mom, the one that took him out of the river when he was a baby.

I am going to put a picture of my costume.

Yesterday, me and my dad went to the museum. I got, you know, I can't think of the name...geodes. I love the museum! We saw everything! Except one exhibit...they wouldn't let us in. They made people pay extra just to see it, an extra twenty bucks, so my dad said it would take a lot of money to go in, soooo, I decided not to go. I was really bummed, but, my dad said we shouldn't go, so we didn't. It was super fun! You should go to the museum.

Oh, and then the day before that, me and my mom went to the Castle Rock Museum. It's really tiny. It used to be a train depot. There were fake potatoes made out of nylons. That was super duper weird.

I know this is random, but my dad is going to Home Depot right now.

Also, I'm going to put a picture of my grampa doing a silly face. He's really funny! We wrestle together. I like to hide the remote control from him. He's coming soon and I can't wait to play with him!

Oh, just so you know, um, I'm not typing. My mom is. She just said that I'm dictating, whatever that means.

Okay, I'm going to tell two jokes:
Q: What did the boy octopus say to the yellow girl octopus?
A: Yellow.

Q: After telling a joke, what did the one duck say to the other duck?
A: Why aren't you quacking up?

Love, Emily
Bye!

Today

2009-10-27T15:36:00.000-07:00

Hi. Today my mom and I did homeschool. I learned about a guy named Rowland Bingham who went to Africa a long time ago and told people about God's love. He had to work hard to get there. He had to make three trips before he could stay there.

And then, we did a craft. I am going to put a picture up. The craft is making flowers of paint and wire. It is not dry. I have to wait two whole days (man that's a long time) for them to dry! Maybe that's not a long time for you, but it is for me.

Today I wrote a six chapter book. I'm a really fast writer. My mom wants to know why it's taking her almost three years for her book. Maybe it's because she types it on the computer. I write it with pencil and paper, so I am really fast.

My snow girl now looks like an ice cream cone.

Guess what?! I know this is random but I'm going to put a picture of my finger. It is pretty.

I'm going to put a picture of an ape I made at school.

And, I'm going to put a picture of my horse that I made named "Copper". I don't actually have a real horse. I want a real horse.

Bye.

Research Assistant

2009-10-26T16:43:00.000-07:00

Hi. Today I helped my mom. She called me her research assistant. What that meant was we went to the mall, which we called the 'mercantile' (because we were pretending we were Laura Ingalls Wilder and Ma today). She wanted to go to a store called Anthropologie to study their jewelry and get inspired for new ideas for her own jewelry. I did not like that. I had to go in there 3 times. I got really bored.

After that we went in a whole bunch of stores. And after that, I went and saw the most adorable dogs in the pet store. I wanted to keep all those dogs. They were so, so adorable! It made me really sad they are all alone there in the store.

And, after that, we met our friend, Gina, and she bought me a Noah's Ark puzzle. I'm working on the edge of the puzzle right now. We played birthday party at Pottery Barn Kids and I served cake and donuts.

I know this is random but I am going to put a picture of my dad and Drew working out in our dining room, doing Shred. My mommy dared them. They were working for beer and Cheetos. They needed to work out because they were getting chubby.

I know this is random but I am going to put a picture of me on my mom's radio show. I was their guest Thursday. I talked to my pen pal's mom, Carly, on the radio show. She talked Australian. (Can you hear my accent?)

Tonight my mom is making butternut squash soup for dinner. I don't like it. I think it's disgusting. But I love the rest of my mom's food. Kind of.

Love,
Emily

Today I got 3 joke books from the library. I went to an art gallery with my mom. We stayed for 15 minutes.

Then I got home and played with Kaya, my american girl doll. My mom did her hair really nice.

I got to spend time with my dad. I played computer games on the computer. I love home, don't you?

Love Emily

Two Jokes

2009-10-23T15:48:00.000-07:00

Joke #1
One day, there was a woman laying int he hospital. She saw Jesus appear to her side and she said, "why am I dying" and he said, "you have 30 more years to live." So she decided to make the best out of it and she got hair transplant, makeup done, plastic surgery. When she was walking out of the hospital, she got hit by an ambulance. In heaven, she said to Jesus, "I thought I had 30 more years to live." And Jesus says, "I didn't recognize you."

Joke #2
There were 6 cows. One was named Daisey, one was named Sunflower and one was name Brick. One day Daisey asked her mother, "why did you name me Daisey." Her mother said, "because a daisey landed on your head when you were born."

The next day Sunflower asked her mother, "why did you name me Sunflower." Her mother said, "because a sunflower landed on your head when you were born."

And Brick says, "duuuuhhhhh."
