Emma's 5!!!!

Well, today my little Emmabird turns 5. She is growing up so fast (too fast if you ask me). Her present from me and Daddy was getting her ears pierced. She was a big girl and didn't cry one bit. They put the dots on her ears, shot the earrings in and all she did was cover up her ears after to make sure they weren't going to touch her again. She picked out some pretty CZ flower earrings.


Emma,
On your birthday I just want you to know how much Mommy and Daddy love you. You are a very sweet and kind girl. You are constantly cracking us up. We love watching you grow into such a beautiful and special girl. You will always be our little Emmabird...no matter how big you get! We love you and hope you have a very happy 5th birthday!

Hallelujah!

Ok, so pre-school has started and regular school started awhile ago. YAY! Everyone is getting back into our normal flow-which is sooo nice. I look forward to preschool for 2 reasons (well, maybe 3).
1. My kids get to see their old friends and make new ones
2. I get to teach some cute kiddos (which I love!)
3. I get to see other adults that I can talk to about anything
(and they are all good, christian women)

I know what you're thinking-How can you like teaching all those crying, screaming little kids? The answer is simple- They're not mine. While my own kids drive me crazy with the yelling and whining, these kids go home at the end of the day and do that to their own parents. Their parents get a break, I get a break and I get to teach some kids (that may not get any of the stuff I have to offer them anywhere else). They learn life skills and many other things from me that I'm sure their parents teach/try to teach them, but if they're like my kids they won't listen to their parents. So, I LOVE SCHOOL!

Pot Brownies-Soooo Funny!

Check out this dummy. You need your volume all the way up.

Wow....

It has been an eventful few weeks here at the Fancher house. Here's the list of events-
1. we got home from our week off and our a/c was out, so we got a few more hotel days since it was so hot here (it was 105 the day we got back). We are now recommending Pearson Mechanical for anyone that needs a/c stuff. They are awesome!
2. Jarrod makes the announcement that he will no longer be a chiropractor. So, we spent a week telling patients the sad news.(we pretty much told our second family good bye...it was hard)
3. Emma is now on the gymnastics team.
4. Our car died and needed $700 worth of repairs.(we did get a really cool rental-a dodge ram...we were sad to see it go)
5. Right before team practice E decides to fall off the couch&chair she was playing on and smash her front tooth. Tooth went back&root came out. We had to do an emergency dentist trip to get it pulled and they even had to take off some gum. (I know, thank goodness we never let her see what it looked like before they pulled it)

So, now we are trying to figure out what the next step is. Pray for us.....for our health, life, stability, clarity, everything.

I attached some pics of Emma's tooth

Gymnast

Emma has been doing gymnastics for almost a year and they just asked her to be on the team. She was so excited! I am so proud of her. She will get to do meets and she gets a cool team leo and competition gear. She also had a team sleepover yesterday. They started at 8, she called around 9:30 sad so I went up there, but she was ok and she told me to go home. When she got picked up we found out she stayed up all night and played with the big kids. The other little ones fell asleep.

Hello Dolly!

Well, the rain and wind have been crazy. But, now the sun is shining a little bit. So, Jarrod, Natalie, Poppie and the girls have all gone to walk on the beach. Looks like we're out of the woods so far. Just some rain and some wind.

Dolly's Comin'

Well, we haven't been up that long (or atleast I haven't). The wind howled all night, but when I got up it was just sprinkling and thundering, but by the time I got downsatirs it was pouring. Kaitlyn and Jarrod just left to go down to the boardwalk and see how high the water was today. Yesterday I got a pic of it hitting about 3 feet off the end of he boardwalk. Yesterday half the people at the condos checked out and left. There are about 10 cars in the parking lot. I'll post more later today.
The little white specs in the pic are Kaitlyn and Jarrod. They just got back-it started pouring and they are soaked.
