"Paper!"

Emma has been learning what it means to color on paper lately. She has been coloring on everything else BUT paper. Her toys, the entertainment center, the walls, the furniture, etc. I know this is something all kids do. But here is the funny part. Emma also knows that she is suppose to draw on paper. And she tells us "color on paper" all the time. "Yes, Emma, Paper". So today, she comes to me and she has pen all over her face. (Daddy left his pen on the floor) I laughed, picked her up and took her into the bathroom to show her what she had done. I turned her into the mirror and pointed to her face and said. "Emma, what is that?" and she positively responded "paper". Tyler and I just laughed, because of course you draw only on paper, so your face must be paper! :)

New Year 2008

So have you noticed I go in spurts with my posts?
I am at a loss for things to say lately. So I am just going to give a little update. Plus, nap time is almost over. Darn!
Tyler is in week three of his new job at Hill Air Force Base and his last semester of school! YEA!
Work is going good. It has been a big adjustment going from the corporate world to the government world. It is a totally different pace and experience. But he is liking it. School is good and he cannot wait for May. For one SPRING and for two to be done with school! He is only taking 12 credit hours this semester and that is nice. He is taking his last Spanish class which is Don Quixote through film, which I think could be very interesting. I told him he had to come home and tell me all about what he is learning.
It has been sooo cold and snowy here in Utah and spring is no where to be found. It's been a long time since we have had a winter like this, and frankly we have been spoiled. My thermostat hasn't been turned up this high in the winter since Emma was born! But we need the water, so we are trying to be grateful. We got another 7 inches of snow on Monday. You should see our little street. The snow is pilled so high you can barley see our driveway. And there is another storm set for this weekend. Ah, the blessings!
Emma is still a sweet little energy ball. I have lots of funny pictures to post. I will get to that, eventually. Her latest thing this week has been wanting to go to "church". She loves nursery and loves playing with the kids. We had a Play group there today and that made her very happy. She is a social little thing and really gets sick of me all day, I think. When Daddy came home yesterday she just ran around so excited!
And Me...well, I started Yoga up again and I love that. I have lots of crafty things I want to be doing, but for some reason my job as a Mother always takes priority. Tyler and I have made lots of goals for this new year and I am excited about the future and accomplishing them. That will be another blog entry also. And the days seem to go by really fast. I am blessed and what else can I say?

HOLY COW!!!

We got 12 inches of snow today in South Ogden! It was crazy! It snowed ALL day long. And it just started snowing again. It is crazy and so welcome! We need the water and what a blessing! We had so much fun playing in it. Emma was in heaven to get to go outside. You can see the snow is to her knees. We sledded with the neighbors later in the afternoon, and she doesn't say "ahh ohh" any more when she sleds, she says, "again!" :) These pictures were taken at 1:00 pm, when there was about 9 inches. By 4:00 there was 12!
