Emma is 11!

I can not believe that Emma is 11. She is such an awesome girl. It is so wonderful to have such a sweet daughter. Poor Emma was really sick the week before her birthday. We were planning a big party but as it grew closer she wasn't really up to it.

Her best friend that moved to the Elko area a year ago came to visit. We had a low key day of shopping, eating and gifts.


The girls at the mall.


Nothing like a cold drink on a cold day.

Taped to the bottom of this box was a message saying that she and a friend would be going to the David Archuleta concert.

The concert was a few days later. We arrived a couple of hours early so Emma finished her homework while we waited in line.


When we found our seats we also found this sign.

We had pretty good seats but I wanted to get closer. I finally convinced Emma to walk down to the floor with me and we got really close. David put on a great show and we have a blast.
