Emma's 12th Birthday (that's right 12!!!)

Emma turned 12 on February 10, 2011. She decided to have a hot tub party with all her friends. She has made quite a few friends since we moved to St. Anthony last July. I am not surprised. She is such a wonderful person to be around. Her kindness is wonderful and I know all these girls have felt that. I think the girls all had a terrific time!

Our favorite things about our charming Emma!

1. She is the best Babysitter in the world! I am so grateful for all the hours of babysitting she puts in for us for FREE! She is a lifesaver.

2. She is excelling wonderfully at music, which makes Jake and I so happy. We have a love for music and we are grateful that she is enjoying band and piano. Her band teacher says she is the best 6th grade percussionist (spelling?) he has ever seen! Pretty sweet!

3. Emma has a heart of GOLD! She loves to help out and be of service.

4. She does her own Laundry now! Of course that is more good for me than her ;)

5. Since the day Emma was born she has been fiercely independent. I love this because she is able to do things on her own without being asked! Yay!

Emma is amazing young woman and we are so proud of the choices she is making in her life.








Emma's two closest friends came up from Pocatello to celebrate her birthday. Katelyn and Lacey. Love those girls!
