Emery's 8!

The week Emersyn turned 8 years old! She still seems too tiny to be that old, but she is very happy to be 8. This year she had her first friends party and it was a lot of fun. She wanted a monster party... yes that's my girl, monsters not princesses. For a cake she wanted dirt cake, so to blow out candles we put them in a muffin. 

 We noticed one day that she had cards in her hands and when we looked at them they were invites that she made. We had yet to decide when we were doing her party, so she shouldn't have had any. When we read them one of the parts said that they can bring her 1,2 or 3 presents.... I'm so glad we caught them. Even without that she still did get gifts. 

 Her monster dirt cake. 

 They had to reach their hands into a monsters mouth to find a prize. Most of them weren't too excited to do it at first, but loved it later on 

The monster

 They also made body part kabobs.

And had smoking monster blood. 

 They also made a grab bag with cut out pieces and made them look like monsters. 

 It isn't a party without a little bit of Just Dance. They were fun to watch. They all sang along with the music too. 

I think it's about time for me to get used to a girly girl. Emery loves all things girls, but thanks to having 3 brothers she likes things like monsters and other 'boy' things. Jacks is her best friend and they love playing together every day. They play babies and super heroes. Emery loves going to our neighbors house and playing with their kids. She is so outgoing and will say hi to anyone she knows. She still gets everything she wants from her dad, but I don't think that will ever change. Emery loves to read and does really well with it. I'm amazed all the time with how well she does. She knows what she likes. It is impossible for anyone to pick and outfit out that she likes. I have to take her with me anytime I get her clothes because if I don't she wont like them. She's 8 going on 16.... which is going to make the next few years lots of fun. Emery is so excited to be baptized this year. She had fun picking out her scriptures and case. Her teacher at church is great,which makes her so excited to go each week. She loves to give hugs and snuggle and is always there when I need one. She is such a kind spirit.  Her favorite food is pizza. Her favorite subject is painting (they have something called 5th block where they do art projects). Her favorite game or toy is playing tug of war with the puppies.
