Advice needed

So I am trying to decide what would be best for Emmie, Dave, and myself. I am needing to decide how long, how often or even if needed to work. I am feeling like I need to be home and be a mom but I love my job, love those that I work with. I cant take Emmie to work any more because she likes to be more social than she needs to. I am wanting opinions not that it is going to make things any different I am just curious. Jill has been my life saver and has been so willing to take Emmie for me. It has been such a huge help, also Shanell Stapley had been helping me to. Thank goodness for great friends.


Here are some great pictures of Emmie in a bucket, falling asleep during lunch, and Emmie and Holdyn siting on the bench trying to catch fish. I am pracitcing my photography skills and trying to take some fun pictures. Man she is a hamm, I just love her!

Life has slipped by so fast!

So I decided that Cinderella has had enough of the glory and I needed to blog again. Life has been great, working and taking Emmie along with me. She does pretty good as long as I have food she is great! We sure miss playing with Payton and Porter Emmie is lost with out them around. We have to find our own fun now days!!
Emmie love to help her mom alot sometime too much! But we still love her. The other day I was letting her watch me do dishes and I went to wipe off a counter and the next thing I knew she was getting in the water. So this is Emmie helping me with the dishes. She did such a wonderful job I told her she was hired but I dont think she took me seriously.
She also loves to play dress up with her necklaces she thinks she is such a pretty princess.

Here is Emmie with her dad feeding the fish in the pond. She loves to feed the fish with her dad. I don't know if it is just because she is with her dad or to see the fish swim by her but she what ever, she loves it!





Emmie also loves to play with her friends across the street, Kassidy and Kimmy. They came over last night and sat with Emmie on her little bench and they wanted a picture so I did.
Dont you just love Emmie with snot running down her nose. As Grandpa Turek would say, " You have a lambs leg hangin' out of your nose!!"


Well Dave has been selling horses left and right and teaching in between. He is having a great school year so far. I hope it will be a great year for him, he deserves it. I think he likes have his nieces take a class from him. I think he gives them crap though, hang in there girls you can handle Mr. Cluff.
Well I shall post again some time hopefully not to wait as long as I had before!

Cinderella

You Are Cinderella!

Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

I always knew I was a princess! I am so happy that I am Cinderella, I always thought she was the prettiest one of them all. I do have to say I have a lot of patience especially waiting for Emmie and now the 3 retarded dogs. I know my dreams will come true now, thanks to Tiffani for letting my take this quiz. Mom and Dad you were right, I am the prettiest princess of the family!!

Fun at the Water Park

**We decided to go to the water park to let some kids run off some energy and have fun at the same time. We had so much fun. Emmie didnt like to go in the water so much. It was fun to be in the water but fun to get out at the same time. These pictures tell a great story of what went on at the water park

This is Payton trying to get his brother Porter wet.

While on the other side this is Porter trying to push the sensor to make his gun work to fight back. Asking questions all day as he goes!!! and keeps asking until you answer it!!!

Payton thought Emmie looked to dry so he helped her out.

She loved it can you tell?

Finally Emmie escapes and rushes over to the bench for saftey!

Payton and Porter are fighting over the guns. Who is going to win?

Check out those legs. ooo da laa lee

Emmie loves her cousins. I dont know what we are going to do when we wont have the Calico boys around to play with all the time.

After a long day at the park this is what happened after ward. Callie loves those boys. I think she should go and live with them at their new house. I think they would love to replace a few things as she lived there. Think about it Misti, the offer is out there. Tempting isn't it?!?!

Aint That a Peach

Emmie has found a new favorite thing. She loves to go out back and pick a peach from the tree or one that has fallen on the ground and eat it. I caught her today sitting and sharing her peach with Callie and Boomer. This is Peach number 3 she had picked and eaten. She loves peaches!!

MMMMM Yummy Peach!!
This is Emmies sad birthday cake. I tried to make it look cute but I am not a cake decorator I have decided! We celebrated her birthday on the 24th because we were gone on her birthday. She wanted to see her cousins and aunts and uncles so we had dinner and cake and ice cream. Here are some pictures that we took that night!Emmie waiting to blow out her candle on her cake

Emmie love cake and she loves to wear it also!

Nauvoo

Emmies First Birthday!

Cutest Pioneer Ever!

Family pack playing in the half hour rain storm

So here is a movie of everything we did out in Nauvoo. It was so much fun! We left on July 11th and thanks to our cousin Jeremy he gave us buddy passes to fly. So we flew out of St. George to Salt Lake, waited there for 6 hours or so then caught a flight out to Kansas City. We then drove all night to get to Grandma and Grandpa Tureks house. We finally arrived there at 3:30 am. It was a long night. Emmie did so good traveling and she slept the whole time on both plane rides. We visited alot of sites and shows. We went to the pagent a couple of times. We learned alot about the pioneers and what they went through. I am sure glad I live in the days now and I wasnt a pioneer. The Lord knew what he was doing when he sent me to earth when he did.
We had a wonderful time visiting with my parents. They are such wonderful people and they did treat us great. I think I gained 5 pounds while out on vacation because of moms wonderful cooking. I have missed my moms homeade cookin'. Well the movie pretty much tells what we did so I wont bore you. The trip home was a kick though. We decided to leave on saturday the 19th instead of Sunday the 20th. The flight looked better on saturday so we risked it. Well Emmie and I got on the plane and had to leave Dave in Kansas all by himself. He had some cousins that lived 1 1/2 hrs. away that came and picked him up and let him stay with them for the night. I got stuck in Salt Lake so I called my sister Trudi to come and save us. She was so kind and let us bombard her house. She also took me to Walmart to get a few things like diapers and formula that was needed. All of our luggage was sent to Saint George so we had nothing. I wore the same clothes for 2 days and man did I stink. luckily Trudi had some clothes for Emmie to where. The next day Dave missed the first flight then the second also, so he just bought a ticket instead. He was tired of sitting and waiting. He wasn't going to get on until Tuesday if he didn't buy a ticket. He arrived in SLC at 5:30 we picked him up and we drove Kory and Tiffani's new car to them. Thank goodness they had a car to take. Nauvoo always has a great ending to it. It somehow ends up costing us a little more than planed and it always ends up at Sundance where my brother Rick works picking up a car to get home. Great memories. We sure know how to have some fun times!!

Adventurous Month

So it had been a very long time since I have bloged so I will try to catch you up as best as I can. I will do another blog about our trip to Nauvoo. I have quite a few cute pictures that I will have to try to fit in. So first of July I had girls camp. It was lots of fun.

Here is a picture of our girls and their cute camo attire.

Then it was the 4th of July. Dave, Emmie and I took Aunt Ada to breakfast at the park and we had a great time. This is Dave and Emmie riding the cow train at the park. She loved to ride that bull. Dave was wishing that it was a real bull.

Then I tried to get Emmie to race. She couldn't really walk that great at that time so I thought she would do great in the crawlers race. Well the horn blew and Emmie just watched the guy that blew that loud obnoxious noise. She didn't want to crawl to her dad at all. So here is a picture of her crying because we thought that if Dave encouraged her to come to him with his cell phone she would come. Well that just made her mad that she couldn't get the phone. She was still cute anyway.

Then on the 5th of July her birth mom, Tiffany, came to visit for the weekend. We were going to be gone on Emmies birthday so she wanted to come and see her before she turned one. It was great to have her visit. Hopefully it wasn't to boring for her.
So here is Tiffany with Emmie!

So that sums it up until Nauvoo. We went Nauvoo on the 11th of July and we had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa Turek. I will blog about that one next which will probably display on my page first which is ok. Anyway let just say this month has been fun and adventurous! This is Emmie at the airport in SLC waiting for any flight that would take us!
