Emma's 11 year-old Interview


Several months ago I posted an interview I did with Heidi and decided that I would do it for each of my girls around their birthday to see how their answers change over the years. Here is Emma's.

What is your favorite TV show? Total Drama Island

What is your favorite movie? "Catch That Kid"

What is your favorite color? Lilac Remember me saying that my girls choose very specific colors?

What is your favorite food? Ice cream cake

What is your favorite thing to do with mom? Go on vacation

What is your favorite thing to do with dad? Snowboarding

What is your favorite thing to do with your sisters? sled

What do you want to be when you grow up? An author

Do you have a favorite friend? Miranda and Allie and Lauren

What is your favorite thing to do when you are not at home? Visit family and snowboard

What is your favorite toy or thing? The Wii

What is your favorite book? Basically all the books I've read but if i had to choose it would be between "The Lighting Thief" and the "Battle of the Labyrinth".

What is your favorite animal? White tiger

Do you want to go on a mission? Yes

Do you want kids? Yes

What's hard to do? Chores

What's have you learned from your primary teacher this year? We've been learning about Joseph Smith. Moroni kept telling him to wait, and wait and wait until he could get the plates.

What do you love to do? Play with friends


Thanks Emma for the interview. You are growing up so fast and you are so beautiful. I can't believe that you will be in middle school next year. I'm not sure what this next year holds for you but I'm sure that it will be amazing. Your Irish Dancing is improving so much and I love that you dive head first into everything you do in order to be the best. I see a lot of myself in you and it gives me a smile. A headache too sometimes but mostly smiles.

Great photo! :)

I agree with the craziness of her being in Middle school next year! WOW!

Melissa said...

I was so impressed with their specific answers to the family questionnaire and my favorite part? They not only had specific color choices but they actually typed that color in the color they chose! That's just fantastic!

Grace said...

that's really a great idea. I wish i had thought of doing something like that with my kids when they were younger. it's amazing how their thoughts and opinions can change so quickly..and you think you will remember every little thing 10 years down the road about each child but you just don't.

This is such a great idea! I LOVE that she wants to be an author when she grows up...VERY cool :)

Bridget said...

Thanks for the inspiration! My Emma just turned 10. I always pride myself on having one of the first Emma's of the century (pre-Rachel from Friends) but you beat me.

I love it! She's adorable, and her answers are great. I agree with her:chores are hard!

I'm totally stealing this on my kids birthdays.

Melissa-Mc said...

I love that you do interviews with your children. I hope she has a great year.

Elizabeth Dimit said...

Oh, my goodness! I love that idea. I need to do that for the kids each year around their birthday. Emma is so cute...she looks a lot like Makenzie!

Tonya said...

Love the interview idea! And for you all to be able to go back and read their answers in the future will be so much fun. Is Emma applying to ACMA?

Darilyn said...

Emma's first choice is ISB. What about Riley, did she apply at ACMA?
