My computer died

A couple of weeks ago I loaded an old program of Photoshop on my computer.
A few days later it killed my computer. Apperently windows vista and any program that didn't come with it, are a bad mix. Now Dusty and I have to share. Can you believe it? Of course, I do realize now I spent way too much time on it. I just hope our very generous friend, who is working on it, can fix it.

Emma

A surprise came after first child. It was our Emma Kate. Emma is the second child in our family. She has been an adventure since she came. She loves animals, all animals. She is especially in love with horses. She wrote a little "book" the other day. In it she said she loves animals, nature, trees mountains...It was really cute and just showed her personality. Recently, with growth of our small community, some old trees were cut down. She got really upset and was on the verge of tears, because they cut down "nature" to put up power poles.

She is a very passionate person, and shows it in every aspect of her life.

She likes to ride her bike, and play with friends. We see Emma dancing and singing, with Hannah, on the porch, to the Jonas Brothers. Whom she also saw with Hannah Montana.

She is a little bit of a tomboy. She wrestles with Daddy, and Grandpa Chad.

She likes to sleepover at her grandparents houses, which she has been able to do a lot this year with our surgeries, collect webkinz, and watch the Disney Channel.

Emma likes to do crafts, including: Beading, coloring, drawing, painting, and decorating the walls.

We are so glad to have such a special and unique personality part of our family.

Hannah

Hannah is the oldest child in our family. Nine years old and was born in 1999. One of her goals is to be 101 years old, so she can say she live in three different centuries. She has always been a smart little girl and has not ceased to amaze us since the time she was little. She started fourth grade this year and is learning about Utah history, the dinosaurs, algebra, and anything she can get her hands on to read. She has recently read the first, 3 Harry Potter books, and is on the 3rd book of Fablehaven. (She really likes to read!)

In January she got glasses and much to my surprise, was and is really excited about having glasses. Her cousin just got some too and because Hannah had them, it was ok.

Hannah would like to travel, because it isn't fair she hasn't been out of the state. She has been planning a trip to Disneyland since she was three. Home and Vernal is really as much as she has traveled.

We are so grateful for our Hannah-Banana and can't believe how grown-up she is getting. She is helpful around the house and with the other kids. She likes to help out with the baby I babysit. Some day she would really like her own room so that the other kids don't mess up her stuff. (Which they do quite a bit.)

She really likes Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. We went to her concert about a year ago and that was really fun, despite the fact that we were on the very last row. I think Hannah and Emma will remember it forever.

Hannah likes to talk on the phone, collect webkinz, and play with friends. She can be seen dancing on the porch quite often with her music at obnoxious levels.

This week we got new pictures taken. It was fun.

The kids looked so cute and the lighting was just right!
