Anneliese Renae- 3
My favorite girls!
Anneliese- don't you know that a bank will save that nickel for you? You don't need to swallow it!
After hours of waiting (Scott and Anne snuggled and slept while I tried to read), they finally took her in. She threw a kicking and screaming fit from heck but the anesthesiologist was so awesome. He took her right down the hall and calmed her down before she got the laughing gas. She was given a breathing tube, an IV and some meds. They stuck a scope down her throat and fished it out. The surgery itself was all of 4 minutes and a proud doctor walked out with the most expensive nickel I've ever seen!!!
This is Anne right before surgery (and before the fit).
This is the "after" picture. She got her own pink "cast" to keep her from removing her IV. She was so calm and easy-going while the sedation wore off. Everyone told us how cute and easy she had been!
And last but not least... here is the actual nickel itself, pulled from her insides. Pretty crazy!
I had to do a quick shout-out to the most awesome dad in the world. Our little girls love their dad so much and they get so excited to see him and to spend time with him. It's so much fun for me to watch the girls bond with their dad as they get older and start to realize how much more fun he is than mom. 
My friend Brit sent me a link to a really cool hair blog. It is so much fun but it's been terrible because I'm slightly obsessed with it. I printed off a ton of pictures and almost every morning my girls choose how they want their hair done. I have actually learned that it's a great 10 minutes that I get to devote to just that child and I really enjoy that time. I have a lot to learn but here's the first style I tried on Shaersti a few weeks ago.
During the spring the Emett family takes a big break from all other responsibilities and enjoys soccer. This year was really fun because we have been so close to the team. Most of them are great friends of Kolby and Ben and they hang out at my parent's house all of the time. It's fun to see them play together. My mom was also in charge of the snack shack and I ended up helping her with it more often than not. It was a lot of fun.
This was Kolby's senior year and the team did a cute little program to recognize their seniors. Not only is Kolby graduating this week, we expect to get his mission call within the next few days, too. He is at such a fun time of life and he is livin' it up! He is such a great guy and him and Ben are such great examples to so many people, I really look up to them.
