They don't call them the terrific two's
Friday, September 4, 2009
We've been struggling a little bit with Emmie lately. Our cute little baby girl is unfortunately acting her age. A two year old terror. Today was exceptionally bad. Here's a rundown of what shed did in about 3 hours:
-She rubbed Gretta's lotion all over our dresser.
-Then she dumped a bottle of baby oil throughout the floors in our house.
-While we were cleaning her up from the baby oil fiasco, she put all the clean towels into the bathtub with her.
-After her bath, Gretta felt bad for yelling at her so much so she got her some juice which she then dumped all over the sofa.
-In between each of these she punched, kicked, and pushed Eva.
We might not have minded so much if today our house hadn't been professionally cleaned (a baby gift from Gretta's friend and visiting teacher Melissa, THANK YOU!). Anyway today was one of those days where we really wanted our little girl Emmie to grow up.
Baby update
Friday, August 28, 2009
I just had a Dr.'s appointment I am almost 36 weeks but the Dr thinks I will be having the baby really really soon. I'm dilated to a 3, 80% effaced, and the baby's head is at -1 station. I'm a little nervous that the baby wants to come so soon hopefully she will be OK.
I really should have listened to anna

Emmie asked to go play outside and like always I said sure. Anna politely remind me that it rained all night and it was really muddy and I most likely would not want my kids to play in it. Being the big sister and (knowing so much more) I did not listen and let them out any way.
and this is what pride got me
I'm defiantly feeling very pregnant these days and bending over is almost impossible but only a few more weeks to go :) 
Anna is flying back home tomorrow we have really enjoyed having her around thanks for all your help sista
The girls having fun with there cousin Lilly
Thursday, July 30, 2009
My sister Anna has been staying with us for a few weeks while her husband Mike is at Officer training for the Navy, to pay for med School. It has been a lot of fun having them around . Emmie thinks Lilly's name is Lilly-bug and will quickly correct us if we call her just Lilly
One draw back about Anna here right now is we are both knocked up and are cravings don't match and we have both made each other sick on more then one occasion
We got a sweet new doggy a few weeks ago he is so nice. He is a black pug named Harold, he is about 6 or 7. I recommend getting a dog instead of a puppy he dosen't chew on anything, he is already potty trained, he knows all of his commands already and he is the sweetest thing to the girls he lets them pull on his tail and lay on him and pat him really hard without a single fuss
Anna has successfully kept Lilly away from sugar most of her life, but her aunt Gretta put an end to that when she introduced her to her first Popsicle
projects to keep my mind off my growing belly

Sorry to any boys that might be reading this post you will most likely find everything in this entry completely boring. I'll have Nate write something fun about sports, camping, hunting, video games or any other cliche boy thing for our next blog
With another girl on the way I needed new hair bow storage
I had three close friends have their babies this month so I've been busy making diaper cakes and diaper wipe containers
With such a large family I was having a lot of picture clutter on my fridge so I made this family tree to put their pictures on, and I was trying to come up with enrichment ideas for Super Saturday and thought this would work for both. Thanks for the pictures to everybody who helped me get them. Sorry for all the nagging, but those enrichment leaders mean business!
Our Fun Filled Fourth
Sunday, July 5, 2009
We had a glorious 4th of July celebration this year. Seriously, it was the tastiest 4th of July BBQ our family has ever seen (no offense to anyone who has hosted us before). You can't go wrong with steak and lobster. In fact the more animals involved the better as Rodizio and Tucano's has taught us (again no offense if you are a vegetarian). Even our garbage smelled great when we were done. 
We also had fun with fireworks. We just bought some sparklers and then drove up the street to see a big firework show. The girls had lots of fun with the sparklers once they were done being scared. Emmie tried to blow them out, and Eva threw them on the ground when she thought they were getting a bit too close to her hand. We also learned that Gretta's purse is in fact not fireproof or fire-resistant.
