Emma's 9th birthday

This is the pirate ship cake Grandma JR came all the way from California to deliver.

Very nice, huh?!

The party girls. The boys didn't sit still long enough to have their picture taken.

Caitlyn and Emma met Taylor Swift, the new country singer, after a tree lighting at the outlet mall. On the way home Emma told me, "Mom, this was the the best birthday ever!" http://www.taylorswift.com

The Honor Roll!

Check out Emma's first report card from 4th grade. Three As and two B+s. Not only that, but she's "a wonderful person to have in this class." Can you see my pleased parent glow from there?!

Party of 20

We spent Saturday in Prescott where the Hartungs and Knowltons traveled from So Cal for a visit. Amy & Al hosted a visit to the Hertiage Zoo, tours of Embry Riddle campus and downtown Prescott, and a great program at church featuring their oldest, Caitlyn. Twenty people out to dinner even went well (Golden Corral buffet restaurant was yummy)! One of the coolest things of their visit was meeting the recently RM Lance's fiancee, Jessica. Welcome to the family!
