Photo Shoot

Yesterday I took some pictures of my neice and nephew, Julia and Porter, and also I took the advantage to take some of Emmie. So here are some of the results of the photo shoot. Thank you Kathryn for letting me use your awesome camera. Someday maybe I will be able have one of my own.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year. We went t0 the trunk or treat that our ward was doing and it was so much fun. Dave had to bring the little pony to have Emmie ride in for the parade and then he gave rides to the kids. They loved it. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Tureks house for soup and doughnuts. They were delicious.
Emmie hated to where the hat of her costume so she was a half witch, but she still made a pretty cute witch.
Here is Emmie with her friends Kimmy and Kassidy.

What a Great Halloween and too much CANDY!!!!!!!

Corn Maze

We went down to the corn maze on Monday night and it was so much fun. Dave has his cows and the mini horse down there for the petting zoo. He went on monday to give horse and cart rides. This is him in action giving the rides.

While Dave was busy with the horse, Emmie played everywhere! She love the play house they had there and this awesome horse swing. I want to make one of these and keep it at the Cluff Farm. Emmie loved it and didnt want to get off. Her mean mom made her though.

We took our cousin Bryant with us and our neighbor Cassidy. They were good company.


Then we wondered off into the maze. It was a nice walk and we all had a great time. This picture is funny because the first time we took the picture Dave had it eyes closed so I told him not to close his eyes this time so this is as good as it gets.

And here we are at the corn maze. Dont ya love Daves fanny pack. He was using it to keep the money from the horse and cart rides. I just love it in this picture though. Good ol Taz manian Devil himself.

We all had a great time at the Staheli Family Corn Maze, and Emmie loved to boogie at the music. She is quite the dancer.

Memories

So I was looking at my movies because Emmie loves looking at them and watching people she knows and I came across this fabulous video of Payton and Porter when I used to watch them while Misti worked. Emmie loved this so I had to share it. Oh the crazy stuff we come up with to keep kids occupied and have fun. ENJOY!

Feeding the Ducks

On Wednesday Tiff came over to feed the ducks with us. They had so much fun feeding them bread and popcorn. Those ducks absolutely loved us. It had been a long time since I had gone to feed the ducks.

Here is a little video of feeding the ducks but I forgot that my camera records the other way. I'm a dork!

Also during conference last sunday I braided Emmies hair. One, to keep me awake and second, to help Emmie hold still for a while. Lets just say I probably wont braid her hair like this again for a long while. This is what she looked like on day 2 right before I took the braids out.
This is what it looked like afterward.

State Fair

A couple of weeks ago we went up to SLC to the State Fair. It was fun to go and see what the State Fair was all about. Dave went to show his cows and I went to show my support to my husband. He got a 1st, 2nd, (2) 3rds, (2) 4ths, and a reserved Grand Champion. I say not to shabby. All this time I thought cows were dumb and worth nothing but my attitude is slightly changing, I still have a hard time liking the things but Dave loves it so I am trying hard to like it also. This is Dave showing his cows. I have never been to a cow show, so this was interesting.



And this is what Emmie was doing while at the cow show

I took Emmie around to see what was at the fair and we found this cool place that was for little kids to learn about FFA. So she got to milk a cow, pick some veggies she grew, got wool from the sheep, and all kinds of other things to learn how to grow things for yourself. She had a blast!

This is where Dave spent most of his time... With the cows and talking to all kinds of people about cows and giving out business cards.


I had to borrow Emmie's bows to put in one of the cows hair because people thought she was a bull because of her horns. But Dave wouldnt let those bows last long.


This is what Emmie looked like when we were all done with the fair. I think she had fun by the looks of it. We all were pretty tired by the time we were done and we were so ready to be back home!

Potty Training!

So we have been working on Emmie with potty training. A girl in my ward, Sara Goodman, told me one time that she got her boy to start using the potty very quickly by sticking him in a cold shower every time he had an accident. So I decided that I was going to try this. First of all in the summer, the water doesn't get very cold. Well I have done the cold shower thing and it didn't work. She didn't like it at first but now she loves it. The other day she came in asking me if she could have a cold shower cause she pooped. She really didnt poop but she really wanted a shower. Now when I say lets get in the shower in the mornings she starts crying and saying I dont want a cold shower, I go potty. I dont get it, first she likes it and now she doesnt. I struggle at getting her in the shower now but when she realizes that it is warm she says go away mom, I shower.
I will concer this thing some day. Although all day she didnt have one accident. Yea!!! I think she is about there. Gotta love her!

Fair Time

So tonight my 2 sisters, Tiffani and Misti, and I decided to take the kids to the fair and boy was it fun and expensive! I am sure glad the I only had one kid to pay for and not 3 or4 of them. We went to the bear show and the petting zoo, launched rockets for ever, rode a ride or two, had snow cones, played on the playground, dug for dinosaur bones, and got sweaty and dirty! The fair is fun for all! Here are a few pictures that was taken through the night.
