I love this pic! Emily didnt even realize that he was behind her. This was taken at Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City Utah. We had gone there to Disney On Ice, and Emily always has to go to the zoo too. She loves all the animals and says she is going to be Vet when she is older!

Migraines suck!
I woke up this morning with a killer headache , it felt like someone hit me with a baseball bat, so I spent all day in my darkened cold room and finally around 5 it stopped hurting.
Russell and the kids were so great. The kids got along, Russell made sure I had everything I needed and Emily even came into the room a few times to make sure I was okay and didn't need anything. She is one of the sweetest 4 year olds I know!
I know this sounds sappy, but I really do feel lucky that I met Russell, he spoils me and even tho somedays I wanna strangle him, I know he loves me no matter what , we are best friends and I know that is what counts in the end! I know him and I will be married for the rest of our lives.
Recently the parents of one of Emily's classmates went through a divorce so she has been asking a lot about Divorce, it's sad to think that kids this age and even younger have to worry about this sorta thing. I will always work my hardest to make sure Emily does not have to deal with that. My parents have been married for almost 50 years, and I know they all weren't fun, but they love each other very much and will be together till the end, and I really want that same thing for my child.
Spring Break this week and we are getting snow...grrrr

Grades
Andrew got his report card this weekend. He was a little dissapointed, but I think he did pretty good for moving here half way through the quarter. He got 3 a's 3 b's and one d. The best part was he turned everything in! That's huge for him!
Are you going to celebrate?
Earth Hour 2008 is going to take place in 30 mins. Do you plan to do it? 1 hour without lights, tv and internet. I don't think I can do it.
Earth Hour is an international event that asks households and businesses to turn off their lights and non-essential electrical appliances for one hour on the evening of 29 March at 8 pm local time until 9 pm to promote electricity conservation and thus lower carbon emissions. It may also help reduce light pollution, and in 2008, coincides with the beginning of National Dark Sky Week in the USA.
Can I use the excuse that I have to work? I guess I better do something good for the planet tho huh? So I plan on reading by candlelight, and taking a bath., Maybe they should have Earth Hour everynight so us moms can get a break. Yeah thats a Great idea!!
The k ids are the ones that will probably be driven mad, Oh wait also the
Hubby who is doing his fantasy baseball draft, Yeah, I am sure this is going to go over really well!
Hope you all have a great hour!
The funny things she says
Emily is always coming up with funny things! I love this age so much. She is so into being clean, she does not like to get dirty, and is always brushing her teeth and if your breath smells she will tell you.
On the way to get Russell from work yesterday I hear her say to Andrew, "I hope you brush your teeth before we get married." LOL
He didn't find it as funny as I did!!
Hello!
Hello Everyone! We had a great Easter this year, the weather was great, and Emily finally got into it this year. She sat on the bunny's lap all on her own , and she finally got into dyeing the eggs. Last year she said the dye was evil and did not want to get her hands messy. What can I say she is all girl!!
Russell and I just celebrated our 11th anniversary. Would would have thought huh? I know people made bets at our wedding on how long we would last, and I know we won!
I am now working for the first time since Emily was born, I love bringing in some extra money and using my brain a little more. Scarey thought huh?
We are all looking forward to going out to Seattle this year. Andrew is going with us and he hasn't done a whole lot of traveling so I think he is really excited! We will be done for a little over a week!
Not really a whole lot to update today but I will be posting a lot in here so we will talk to you all soon !
