Answers to Jami and Abbi's Questions

"Are you going to be in ballet this fall? Are you still singing?"

I am not singing anymore except for at home, in the shower haha, in the car, when I listen to my iPod, up in my room, in Frankie's room (but he says there is no singing aloud in his room, haha)and with Mommy. But I was going try out for Outloud (a singing group of kids at my church) but I was too young but now that I’m old enough they will not be having tryouts for it. I feel very upset about that. But I mite be doing ballet this fall my mom is trying to get me in a good ballet class called Dixon Dance it only takes 9 kids. If I can’t get in I will go back to the rec center.

That’s how much I know for now thanks for asking.

By the way I got a new Chihuahua (that's hard to spell).

Uh Oh!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION AGAIN! We accidentally erased some stuff! OOPS!!

Telling You

Last Thursday I found out that I have thyroid cancer and that I have to have surgery. When my mom and dad told me I felt scared. I know that some cancers can mean that you're sick. Some cancer means that you’re sick in a bad way. But my kind of cancer is a good cancer. When I think about my surgery during the day I feel scared and nervous because I never stayed in a hospitol before except for when I was born. My mom is going to stay in the hospitol with me the whole time though.that helps me to feel better.

Since I found out I have cancer mom and dad have been telling people that I am sick and I have cancer so they will pray for me. Hundreds of people are praying for me. Last night daddy's basketball team laid their hands on me and prayed for me.

Since I had cancer pepole are making cards for me it makes me feel speshel. I got one big huge giant one from the out loud team it made me feel happy and I got 3 in the mail 1 is from my teacher in promisland (its like Sunday school) and 1 is from miss Erin she is the prinsubull in promisland and 1 from great grandma mickey it made me feel good.

These are some of the emails I got………

This one is from my grandma carrie.

May your troubles be less, your blessings more, and nothing but happiness comes through your door!

This one is from Donna..........

"Hi Emily,My name is Mrs. Stanger. I am Mark's Mom. He says we have something in common. Thyroid surgery. I had part of my thyroid removed in December. I expected it to hurt a lot, but I was surprised afterward that it really did not hurt too much. Plus, they gave me pain medicine to help the pain go away too. I thought I would have trouble talking, but I was able to talk normally afterwards. I was able to eat too, and I like to eat. So, a lot of the things that I was concerned about didn't happen. I was in the hospital about three days. If I needed any thing there was this button to push and they would answer and tell me that someone would come soon to help me.They did put a drain tube in my neck which they took out in a couple days. It helped keep the swelling down, and they put strips of tape over my incision so I didn't even have to have stitches. I can still see my scar, but it seems to fade away more each day.The best part is knowing Jesus. He promises us to always be with us through good times and bad times. He loves us and is concerned about us. He is the Great physician and we can pray to Him and he helps us to be calm when we feel afraid. He gives us strength when we feel weak, He comforts us when we feel lonely. The Bible says, "I can do all things through Him, who strengthens me". in Phillipians 4:13 So, we know we won't be alone through the surgery and afterwards.I will pray for you and am sure many others will be doing so, and it is a great privilege to pray for one another. I pray that you will soon be feeling as good as ever.

May God bless you real good,
Donna Stanger "

I thought is was nice that she had the same surgery as me and it made me feel better.

These are from my cusin Sydney (she is my pen pal)..............


"Hi Emily, I hope you feel better soon. I'm praying for you and caring for you alot. We, as in, my mommy and I are really hoping you feel better. Happy Valentine's Day!!!! Love, Sydney "

"Hi Emily, I hope you are doing good and I wish you didn't have cancer because I love you even though I hardly DO know you, but I really hope you are doing great. I'm definitely praying for you every night. I love you so much and that picture U guys sent us was beautiful. Well, I gota'get doing my homework. Sydney. "
Love, emily

a message from mom...

Hey everyone, Emily was supposed to write a few sentences about how she thought America was beautiful. She didn't do that, instead all on her own, she wrote these beautiful thoughts about God. Also because we get asked a lot I wanted to clarify that Emily wrote this on her own and I neither added nor took away anything. She is also going to type it all out on her own. Also she knows that the last sentence isn't a complete sentence but we decided to leave it just how she wrote it the first time.

God
By Emily

I like to worship God. He loves me. He is kind to me. I love God and I do it right. My favorite time of the year is Christmas. I love God do you? Because He loves you.

Silly me and Pippy

Last night my cat Pippy was climbing in our Christmas tree and it was really funny. So I took some pictures of her and I want to show them to you.

Isn't Pippy so cute!! She's a cutie itty kitty!!

One day I was at my Grandma's house and my daddy was reading the newspaper. When he was finished reading the paper he put in on the table. I was sitting at that table and I noticed a beautiful pink tree staring back at me. I really, really, REALLY wanted this for my room. I was so excited I called my daddy back to the table and showed him the tree and asked him if he could get it for me and he said maybe! I felt scared because I thought he never ever get it.

So he looked at a few different stores to try and find it for me but he could not find one. I didn’t even know that until my Mommy told me just now.

Yesterday Mom, Maddie, and I went to Target and my mom found the very tree that I wanted. It was 50% off and the very last one. So we called Daddy and asked him if we could get it, and can you guess what he said????? He said YES!!!

Thank you Daddy for my beautiful pink tree!

I'm so silly!

Great Ornaments!

This is my favorite ornament because it has our names on it and I will remember it forever.

This is another favorite ornament of mine, my Grandpa, Papa Bill, gave it to me.

This is an ornament that I bought for my Dad because he loves Beauty and the Beast. I love this ornament because my Daddy likes it!

This ornament is one that my Mama Sue got for me when I was just an itty bitty baby.

This one is another ornament I like. I made this one at Church, it is a bell.

This is my Christmas tree; I asked my Mom if I could have it for my bedroom and she said yes. I decorated with my own Hello Kitty ornaments! My Daddy might buy me a 2 foot pink tree for my room.

Bird Nest

Hello everybody, I just wanted to say that a few days ago I found a bird nest in a tree in my back yard. There were not any eggs in it so I brought it in to show my mommy. Here are some pictures.

For school I had to write a story about a pet show and I wanted to share it with you.

Fun Time
by Emily Mae Kunze

I went to a pet show. I saw the most beautiful cats and dogs and the most unusual spiders. I saw the most obedient fish and gerbils and the most faithful rabbits and birds. It was the best day ever.
