Emily's new haircut

Emily hasn't had bangs since she got her first haircut at two. She has been asking for bangs lately like her cousin Amanda has. Well, last night mom took her to Great Clips and we cut off about 3 inches on the bottom and gave her some bangs. She looks more grown up now and mom and dad aren't sure they like that quite yet.
She looks cute and she loves it. I guess that's worth it.

Student of the Month

Here is Emily receiving her student of the month award at her school assembly. We are very proud of her in working hard at school. She was awarded the "best friend award" for the month of September. Her teacher said that Emily is very kind to others and if someone gets hurt she always goes over and comforts and helps those in her class. Keep up the good work Eme.

Our cute little vampire!

Emily lost both her front teeth in the middle of August and we call her our little vampire now.
Uncle Steve pulled out the first one at Lake Powell and Emily pulled out the second by herself. Doesn't she look adorable. She is a true first grader now. Unfortunately, they are growing in fast. Thank goodness for pictures.

A Date with Daddy

Tonight Eric had a Daddy/Daughter Date with Emily. He thought about it and planned it himself and I think it is so cute. Emily has been so excited for it all week and has counted down the "sleeps" she had until Friday night. They are having dinner at her favorite restaurant, Wingers, and going to see the movie, Horton Hears a Who. I feel so grateful to have a husband that is a wonderful daddy to his daughter. It is so important for her to have such a relationship with him and I know it will create a bond with them. I also know how lucky Emily is to have such a cute daddy. Every girl longs to have a King for a daddy who teaches them how to be a princess. What a happy night!
