Snow

I know, what a strange title for someone living in Arizona! Well guess what world? No matter where I go, snow always follows. Yesterday after coming home from a YSA (Young Single Adult) activity where Elder Callister of the Seventy came to speak to us about typical YSA things, marriage, missions, families, the gospel etc. We heard from Brice's mom that it was snowing. Brooke's mom was having a SNOWBALL fight in her backyard. I have pictures to prove it even! I was so excited, I had really been missing the snow we have up in Canada.  So here's to snow!

More exciting news my Aunt Steph is 4 month Pregnant! super excited the due date is May I think... I'll have to double check for you all. So here is a picture of what baby #3  looks like at 4 months.

Oh and another amazing thing I'm home in 2 weeks!!! SUPER excited about that. I miss everyone so very much. 13 days and I'm homeward bound! xoxo Emma

American Thanksgiving 2011

American Thanksgiving was such a blast. It was the same as Canadian Thanksgiving although there was deffinetly more food. We as in my uncle Dave's family and I were able to go to the Porters for Thanksgiving it was so nice to see them outside of church. We had turkey, mash potatoes, stuffing, green bean cassorole, buns, zuqinnie bread, peacan pie, pumpkin pie and french vanilla ice cream. So delicious!! We played games and talked for hours. It was awsome. the earlier part of Thanksgiving was spent taking family photo's I was the designated photographer. It was such fun. Aunt Steph did take a few of me and the kids, so that was nice to be included in the pictures. Enjoy our Thanksgiving day.

 This is the beautiful family I get to send all my time with. I adore all of them very much. We're quite a pair that's for sure! Linnea (3) Steph and Liam (21months)

Happy Thanksgiving all! xoxo all my love Emma

Celebrations

BIRTHDAYS! I just love birthdays. This month I've had the chance to celebrate three. Two of the birthdays I celebrated come from back home in London. The first was the my old Bishops wife who has always been like a second mother to me. Happiest Birthday Cassandra! And the second is another wonderful women in my life Sherry Hall. She is amazing inspiration to all! Happy Birthday Sherry! Last but not least was one of my new friend Brice we had a blast partying around Peoria Arizona. Happy Birthday Brice.

I realize that as I'm talking about birthday I've never posted anything about my birthdays. In September I turned 18, YAY! I had the opportunity two days before to take a photo shoot. The year before that as well I had a photo shoot done. I want to show you the wonderful pictures of my Birthdays!  Photo Cred to Vanessa Skinner and Christine Nelson.

These are some of my fondest memories! The first 3 or 4 are from London when I turned 17 an the rest are from my 18th birthday! I hope to be getting more profess. shots from now on since Christine needs a model and I love professional pictures we've worked out a deal. Till I write again. xoxo All my love Emma
