Emrie 911

So, here is the question.  If you live one block from the hospital and your 6 year old daughter is choking, and the heimlich isn't working -- do you go directly to the hospital or wait for the ambulance? Well, we waited for the ambulance and Emrie was okay.  The piece of candy kind of swallowed and she was able to breath okay.  She kept wanting to have the paramedics check her vitals, because she felt like it was still stuck.  Thankfully after a few minutes she threw up the piece of candy and all is now well.

The paramedics and EMT's were great and thankfully we had the comfort of having uncle Todd as one of the EMT's.

Emrie Roars in the Kindergarten Circus

Emrie's Kindargarten class performed a circus.  She was a tight-rope walker.  Her class sang several songs and performed some amazing acts.

Emrie's Big Day, One Less Tooth, No Training Wheels

Emrie had quite a day, this morning the Tooth Fairy left her some coin because she lost one of her big top teeth, and after a few tries with no training wheels, she just took off.  She wanted an early start on our very sunny Sunday, so she went outside in her pajamas and threw on her old Dalmatian coat. While sometimes we miss the old neighborhood, the big parking lot next door was just right for several long solo rides!

Isaac's Leprechaun Trap

For St. Patrick's Day Isaac's class made Leprechaun traps!  Here are some pictures his teacher took of Isaac's contraption.  They will find out Monday if it was successful.

Isaac's Back Flip Dunk

The snow is gone (mostly) and the sun was out so Isaac and Emrie were back on the trampoline.  Right off Isaac experimented with a couple of new dunks.  Last year he worked at a back flip dunk, now he has added a twist!

Last Game

Thanks to Brady Gardner's other Lincoln team, we were able to schedule one last game.  We had one last goal, for everyone to make a basket and . . . mission accomplished.  The boys had a great time and both teams played very well.  It is extra fun when they playing with and against friends.  Here are some pictures, including a team photo the Lincoln Thunder team.
