Rhino Returns!

Remember THIS post from last October?

Well...since then Rhino has been out of commission. Emmie still tried to play with him but she was so sad that he didn't work anymore so The other night Matt decided to perform surgery.

Unfortunately the surgery was unsuccessful...sad...

When we told my dad about the surgery and he found out that there was no more rhino in the Coleman household he got on Ebay, put in a bid...and a few days later a new...more durable Rhino arrived. Thanks Dadoo!

We've been having a good time with him!

FHE Week 3 & 4

Week 3

Week 3 was really lame for us - Matt was spending his first week of his last semester sick as a dog with and upper respiratory infection (yuck!) and Emmie wasn't feeling good either and was down with an ear infection (for a few days I wasn't the only one up in the middle of the night tossing and turning!) BUT we did end up doing a mini FHE during dinner. I had just taught Sharing Time in Primary so I had a jar full of our Primary kids responses to "how does Heavenly Father show his love to you?" so we read those during dinner and called it good for that week! One of my personal favorite responses, "He gives me pizza." classic.

Week 4

We had a lesson on being kind to animals. We had a good time making animal noises and giving all the animals in Emmie's zoo box hugs and kisses. Yet again, we sang The Wheels on the Bus. (I tried to sing an animal song but Emmie wouldn't have it) we said a prayer and ate some ice cream. It was a fun time!

Only 10 more to go!

I hit my 30 week mark today! unbelievable.

Matt was looking at this family genealogy book with my mom today and they were finding all kinds of names that Matt was actually interested in (YEAH!...up until now whenever I suggest a name it's..."yah, that one's okay") so we'll see if we get some more options going!

Emmie's not going to know what hit her when we bring home a baby brother...I keep telling her that baby brother is in mommy's tummy and she really seems to care less...or at least not understand at all. Sometimes she'll look at her baby doll - then look at my tummy and give me this look like, "yah right mom...like there could really be a baby doll in there!"

To her credit though, there has been a sweet moment or two when she'll gently rub my tummy, give it a kiss, and say something I don't understand to it. Sweet girl.

And this picture is just because she's so dang cute! Enjoy!

Emmie gave me my camera and just stood there saying "cheese" until I snapped this picture...ha! Do you love the arm band or what?

Cleaning Out

So I'm in nesting mode and there are some things that just got to go! If you would like one or all of these things they are yours just come and get 'em! I'll also throw in a few cans of Krogger Turkey Gravy!!! (don't ask).

These boards have just been sitting in the closet for 2 years because part of me has been thinking that eventually I would turn them into something...and now there is another part of me that is saying: GET THEM OUT OF THE CLOSET!!!! and Matt see's no point in keeping the racket since he hasn't hit the court in a long time....

If no one wants them...it's all good Matt is itching to drop some things off at Goodwill! (Matt's idea of a productive Saturday end with a sizable drop off to Goodwill. My idea of a productive Saturday is going to Goodwill...dropping 5-10 dollars and coming home with an arm full of treasures!

Preschool Moment

On the playground today:

4 year old boy: Mrs. Comen, did you see that awesome move?
Me: I did, it was pretty rad.
4 year old Boy: Yah, I know Kung Food!

FHE week 2

Okay...2 weeks in (and honestly I almost forgot about it) but yeah - we did it!

Emmie spent the majority of the time like this:

rolling all over the floor, taking her arm in and out of her shirt.

Finally she settled down and we talked about Jesus in the Ensign pictures (which turned into pointing out all of the noses we could find in the Ensign...she's 2...).

We ended with singing the Wheels on the Bus (Emmie's choice), a prayer, and then a treat (which she got to eat this time since she ate her dinner (yeah!).

Happy Sabbath!

My favorite moment:

Matt: Emmie do you know what that is called?
Emmie: huh?
Matt: It's called a Mullet.
