emmett-isms - february

**I've seen multiple friends do this, and I think it's time I start recording Emmett's hilarious lines. I will add them throughout the month and publish it at the end. I haven't been very good at keeping them, so this is a compilation of the past few months, but i intend to publish one each month :) They might only be funny to me, so I apologize - but I want to keep record of these cute little thoughts.

At dinner tonight Emmett pointed at the sour cream container that was was spotted in cow print and said "'zat come from cows?" and I said "yes actually that does come from cows. Cool huh?". Then he glanced around the table and spotted the tub of Country Crock margerine (exact same size but beige) and said, "'zat come from brown cows?" 

Emmett came running into the house one morning yelling "Dad's car on fire!!" He seemed pretty adamant about it so I told Jared he better go check it out. Turns out it was his exhaust, visible in the cold morning air :) When Jared went out to leave for school Emmett yelled, "GET INSIDE right now!! There's a fire! GET. IN. SIDE!!!

Emmett was watching Daniel Tiger and a scene came on where all the kids were happily swinging on a swingset. Emmett all the sudden yells "They're so happy!!!! Yay!!! Yay for you kids!!!"


C (Me): Emmett come snuggle with me
E: I can't. I'm busy right now


E: Mom, can we watch Mickey Mouse?
C: Sure love, we can watch whatever you want.
E: (gets a calculating look)  Can we watch a bad show?


C: (Pours too many flakes into the fish's bowl) Oh shoot! Henry's gonna die!
E: Why he's gonna die mom? Why he's going die?!?


C: Oh Emmers, I adore you
E: (Incredulously) Me, Spiderman?? You adore me, spiderman? (He's calling himself spiderman, not me. These days he rotates identities of Fireman Sam, Iron Man, Hulk, and Spiderman :)


Aunt Kirsten: (While Jared is gone at basketball) Do you play basketball?
E: My Daddy plays backet-ball
K: But have you ever played?
E: Never a-fore

snow-a-palooza

Every time it snows, Emmett yells "Santa came!!!". It doesn't matter if it's December, February, or June - snow =  Santa :)

Here's a summarized glance of our fun in the snow the past couple months:

The day after Christmas we were all excited to get out and play in the fluffy white powder. Emmett experienced sledding for the first time and was fearless, of course.

He also made his first snow angel!

Cutest thing ever!

We went sledding down a hill on BYU Campus with Daddy one evening. Emmett got really brave and insisted on going down by himself (which he did! and loved it of course). He even wanted to tug the sled up all by himself. Are you seeing the pattern?

Late the other night a big snow storm came in, and Em threw on all his gear and was excited to check it out. He and that firefighter get-up are inseperable these days.

And by the next morning, our front yard looked like THIS

So we suited up once again and went to work.

No snow is too much for this guy to handle! He's a shoveling machine!!

While we've been having a great time playing in this winter wonderland, we are ready for our beloved sunshine!! Punxatawney Phil you better be right about this early spring business!

happy valentines day!!
