Eight is Great


I can't believe this little one is eight!! Emily is such a sweetheart but has a lot of spunk. Tomorrow is her birthday and she gets to be baptized on the same day. She is beyond excited. She has a sweet testimony and I love when she explains the gospel to Blake or Caleb. She cracks me up and has a quick sense of humor. She and Blake were sitting on my bed tonight and I said , "Well Emily - only a few more hours before you're accountable. What do you want to do?" she turned and punched Blake (not too hard) but she quite enjoyed it! She has a stubborn streak in her, but is tender hearted. When Jon and I went out of town last week, she was the one that cried - which surprised us all. I am so proud of her for getting up in front of the whole school to give her campaign speech (even if she didn't win). Can't wait for your special day tomorrow. LOVE YOU Emily!!An old favorite - Emily at 2 1/2
