So Cute!

We just took our family pictures yesterday.
I love, love, love this picture.
I have the best kids ever! I am such a lucky mom!

One day, when my work slows down a bit, I will post some more pictures...

Blood Shot

The stomach flu has spread through our family over the last two weeks.  Everyone has had some sort of this flu except me and Jursey...and I plan to keep it that way.
Jay had it the worst.  He threw up so hard that he broke blood vessels in both of his eyes.  Poor guy!  The worst part was, he was home sick with all 5 kids by himself while I was running errands...he truely must know how a stay at home sick mother must feel.

The funnest part of this story is that Jay wanted me to post this picture and story about him on our blog and I accidentally posted it on my Thoughts in Vinyl blog...OOPS!  Oh, well...I am sure all my customers know I have a family and that we can get sick.  It just wasn't the picture I would like to have them see of my husband or the image I would like a stranger to associate with my crafts! 

Emy's Blessing Miracle {and a Birthday}

My sweet little Em was born with a hole in her heart.  It was just something that the doctor monitored each visit and we saw a cardiologist from UT every year for check ups.  Last year the cardiologist found that she also had a narrow heart valve. 
We have always loved how tall Emy was for her age (she is taller than kids her age and taller than most kids that are 1 or 2  years older than her), because we knew it was a good sign that the hole in her heart wasn't getting bigger.  In the back of our minds we knew it was possible that she might have to have heart surgery in her future.
Six weeks ago I took her to her well child check up and her doctor listened to her heart and he said it sounded the same it always had.  To us this was perfectly good news...it wasn't getting any worse, so the same was great...the same meant no surgery.
Last night for FHE we talked about preisthood blessings with the kids and the purpose of them and the miracle that can happen.  Jay gave Emy a blessing in preperation for her appointment today with the cardiologist. 
To our surprise a miracle happened...The hole in her heart is gone and the narrow heart valve is healing on it's own!  It was an awesome doctor appointment.  She will still have to see the cardiologist each year to make sure the heart valve isn't getting worse, but the doctor thinks it will continue to heal on its own. 
I told Bridger when he got home from school today and he was so excited.  He had to run and tell Macie our good news. 

As another side note, Emy turned 4 last month!
This little note is to her

Dear Em,
I am so glad to be your mom.  I love spending each day with you and watching you play.  You can entertain your self for hours with a single toy...it continues to amaze me and dad!  You are such a sweet little girl and always so willing to share.  When ever you are eatting a treat you will break it in  half to share with me or one of your siblings.  It is so cute and it makes me smile every time.  You some times do this with your food at the dinner table too.   After you share you say "there you go, your welcome".  
The other day I watched you cross the street and a car had to stop in the road.  I tried teaching you that you need to stop if you see cars, and you thought really hard and said "or I can just run really fast, okay".  How about this next year we work on crossing the street...okay? 
You are a wonderful little girl and I couldn't imagine not being your mom.  I hope you had a great birthday.  I can't wait to see what this year will bring.
Love,
Mom

Craziness in 5 seconds flat!

Yesterday morning I woke up with what I am assuming is a cold.  My voice sounds awful and my nose is a little runny.  I learned today that not having much of a voice is not a good thing.  Bridger, Macie and Emy were all playing outside and Jursey began to cry to be fed.  While I was making her a bottle Paisley was standing on the edge of her bassinet...probably trying to give her a binky...she is such a little mommy.  Well just as I got to Jursey with her bottle, Paisley sneezed.  She bonked her nose on the edge of the bassinet and began to cry.  I was just sitting down to feed Jursey when I looked up to say "its okay", and blood was pouring out of her nose.  I attempted to yell for kids to help me and they didn't come.  I laid Jursey down on the floor...she was screaming at this point because she had gotten just a swallow of milk and then I took it away and set her down.  I opened the front door to find all three of the big kids in the middle of the road talking with their cousins.  I attempeted to yell for Bridger and he couldn't hear me -- Stupid Cold!  I finally got their attention and they all came back home to see what I needed. 

I laid Paisley down in the bathtub, and had to change her diaper...I realized I should have done that several minutes ago when the kids told me she stunk...I then turned on the water and started washing her hands and face off and she was coughing a lot and blood was coming out of her mouth.  Jursey was screaming in the living room and then the kids said someone is at the door.  I was hoping it was Robin coming to visit for a minute, but no such luck.  It was a stranger here to pick up some vinyl.  Luckily I had spoken with her earlier that day and told her I would set it outside in the milk box in case we weren't home.  She gave Bridger her money and took her vinyl and left.  I can only imagine what was going through her head.  I had two kids screaming from opposite ends of the house.  Three kids wondering out loud how Paisley got a bloody face.  And a mom no where to be seen.  Awesome!

Now I need to go email that stranger and let her know that had she been here 5 minutes earlier or 5 minutes later my house would have seemed normal.

(I love this picture of Paisley.  This is what she does when you tell her to smile.)

(this is my sweet baby when she is content and has a full belly)

Happy 10th Baby!

Today is our 10 year anniversary.  It is amazing how fast the  years have gone and all the things we have done and places we have lived.  Probably shouldn't say places...but houses  (we have built and sold several homes, but all but 1 have been in the same area).

For Jay's present I had a great idea several weeks ago to make him a book (from http://www.blurb.com/) and fill it with 10 reasons why I love him.  I spent several hours working on it and loved every minute of it.  I was so excited to get it and new that when I gave it to him I wanted the kids to be in bed, so they wouldn't attack him trying to see the book too.  Well, I got it last Friday and that night we stayed up late talking in bed and I decided it was the perfect time to give him his present...and it worked out great because we got to show it to our families on Sunday when they came over for lunch after Jursey's baby blessing.

He loved it and was surprised that I did something that thoughtful.  I always have good intentions, but I never seem to get them all pulled together.  So I was excited that I thought of this well enough in advance and was able to find the time to get it all done.

That is a picture of the book, it looks perfect sitting in our entertainment center.  We all love looking through the pages at all the fun pictures and stories and reading about the 10 reasons why I love my hubby.

Last night Jay and I were both in the office working at our computers and he got up and left the room.  I heard him say to Bridger "go give this to mom".  Bridger came in the office and handed me and envelope with this inside

It was a check from Jay with a hand written note on it.  He is so sweet.  Then I noticed what he had typed on the check before he printed it...

It says

"Happy Anniversary!!!!  Buy yourself a new bra"

I have been saying for a good year or more that I need a new bra, so I think he was saying it in a kind way...

Now I just need to let him in on the fact that I don't want to take 5 kids bra shopping.

I could just picture the look on Bridger's face if I took him in Victoria's Secret! 

Last night I used some of my bra $$ and we went out for dinner.  It was a quick date, but very nice to be able to visit with each other without competing for a chance to talk (Bridger loves to ask questions while Jay and I are in the middle of a conversation....I remember doing that to my parents too...sorry Mom and Dad)

Bed Time

We love summer at our house.

Generally at bed time we can be found in the back yard doing things like this

and this

and posing for a cute picture like this

or this

{I love how Emy is looking up at her daddy...so cute!!}

or we can be found helping Daddy screw in some screws on the back steps 

{did you notice his awesome tan lines...nope those aren't socks!}

I love summer nights and I am already getting bummed out that school is going to start this month. 

What are we going to do when we have to start enforcing bed time again?

Jursey's Blessing Day

Sunday was Jursey's baby blessing.  Jay did a great job with her blessing and we had lots of family and friends there to share the day with us.  Sacrament went reasonably well with all the kids.  They tend to be very intertained when cousins are there and it actually helps them be better...weird I know. 

(this isn't the greatest picture of Jay, but Jursey was smiling so I had to post it!)

I had a bit of a surprise in sacrament meeting too.  They did some sustainings for new callings and redid a bunch of people in the Young Women.  I went to church thinking I was the young woman secratary, but they called and sustained someone else into that calling.  I knew in my head that a change was coming, but they forgot to let me know.  They actually forgot to release me too.  I was taken off gaurd, but I honestly knew it was coming.  I cried for a while, not because of how it happened, just because I had been in that calling for so long (almost 3 years).  Now it is totally fine and I think it is actually funny how it happened.
(Just last night the whole bishopbric stopped by to applogize.  We all had a good laugh about it.  I have an awesome bishopric and ward to go with it!)

Before church Vangie showed up with a salad for our luncheon so we had her take a couple of pictures of our whole family.  They turned out pretty cute.  Thanks Vang!  It was perfect timing.

I even had a few hours earlier in the week to make Macie and Em matching skirts and I made Paisley a cute little dress to match their outfits.  They turned out so cute!  I think I actually might sew up a bunch of these skirts and sell them at the craft fair this year with all my other stuff.

This went a lot better in his head

Friday while I was feeding Jursey I could hear Bridger yelling for Macie to go get Mom.  She kept telling him "no, you go get her".  Then he began screaming at her to go get Mom, he sounded a little paniced, so I peeked out the window and this is what I found.

We are building a play house in the back yard (it is a work in progress) and he decided to make a slide with some extra wood.  I was laughing so hard when I found him out there, but I had to turn back around and go get the camera to take some pictures before I could get him down.  I just thought it was too funny to pass up, and this will be a good way to remember how funny it was.

This was our conversation when I got out there:

Me:  Haven't we told you not to do that before?

Bridger: (With a smirk on his face and hanging his head down) Yea

Me:  Now do you know why we told you not to do that?

Bridger: (Still hanging his head down, but starting to laugh) Yea

Me: Will you listen next time?

Bridger: Yea

Lesson Learned?

Probably Not...as you can tell he isn't the greatest at listening to us.

Oh well though...He is great at keeping us entertained!

Just what sisters are for...or not

Today I was taking some pictures of Paisley and Jursey while all the other kids were gone playing at friends houses. 

Paisley decided to do this

unfortunately this is common for her to do. 

If we get after her and tell her no, then she gets the saddest face you have ever seen--with her bottom lip all pouty and it breaks my heart.

Then she proceeded to do this

I laughed so hard and of course Paisley thought she was adorable. 

Jursey, on the other hand, didn't find it too funny.

Macie's Missing Tooth

Macie has had a slightly loose tooth for a few months.  She started complaining that it was hurting really bad and I would look in her mouth to comfort her every time.  Then just last week I noticed her adult tooth was trying to peek through just behind her baby tooth, so off to the dentist we went.  She was so excited to go too...he has a phone there with makeup in it in his toy chest--she was so excited to pick that out this time.   Bridger kept asking me if he could PLEASE tell her what the dentist was going to do and I would nicely and quickly stop him every time.
We got there and the dentist said he could pull it or we could try to get her to wiggle her tooth out (remember it was only barely loose) so we opted to have him pull it.  She wasn't scared one bit and even told me I could leave the room she was in, so I decided to go since I had all the other kids there with me.  Bridger was in the waiting room with Emy and Paisley and I figured that wasn't going to turn out too good if I didn't hurry right back.
She came back out just a few minutes later with gauze in her mouth and a huge smile on her face holding her make up phone.  If only everything was that simple.  Unfortunately Emy cried for the next 45 minutes because in her words she "didn't get nothin' ".  It was awesome!

Macie just before we left for the Dentist

Macie's new smile, missing tooth and all

Jursey...what a blessing!

Jursey is such a sweet little baby and we still feel so blessed to have her here with us.  Prolapsed cords can be so dangerous, and I never knew how dangerous it could be until I  finally asked one of the nurses what would have happened had we not found out about the cord.   She said that if I was home and my water broke, then the baby would have died.  If I was at the hospital when my water broke, then they would have had to jump up on my bed and basically place their hand in side my uterus {that hurts just to think about} and attempt to lift the baby off of the cord and rush me back to have an emergency c-section and hopefully the baby would have lived.  When the cord comes out first after the water breaks the baby drops down on top of the cord resulting in the blood supply and oxygen being cut off to the baby. 

We feel so blessed and so thankful that Heavenly Father was watching over her and made sure that she had a safe arrival.  She is doing great and is such a sweet little baby. 

On Sunday we turned our bedroom into the photo studio and took a bunch of newborn pictures of Jursey.

We realized the other night, that she was born on the anniversary of the day Jay proposed to me exactly 10 years ago, so of course we had to take one of these pictures.

And since she is so adorable we had to take a bunch of these pictures too

And then just to show how big our family is getting {and just how messy our floors can get} we had to take one of these pictures

I love being a mom and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  I love being married to such a wonderful person who honors his priesthood and can bless our family when we need it.  My heart is so full and I am so grateful for everything...including all the friends and family who helped watch our kids last week and brought us yummy dinners, it was a great help and very appreciated.

She is here...3 weeks early!

I had a doctor appointment on Tuesday and I was questioning the doctor if I could go to my family reunion this weekend in Bear Lake.  He thought I was crazy, but he was toying with the idea of letting me go.  I asked if he could check to see if I was dialated, and I was dialated to a 3.  I have never been dialated that early, so I was excited, but then he told me he didn't think it was a good idea to go camping with my family this weekend.  (Jay was very relieved, because he has been worried about that camping trip for months thinking that he might have to deliver a baby in our tent).

I also told the doctor that I thought the baby might be breech, so he had me get an ultrasound, he told me if the baby was breech then for sure he didn't want us going out of town.  We had the ulrasound and it confirmed that the baby was breech, and we would be staying home for the weekend.  Then he scheduled me to have a version done (where they attempt to turn the baby).  It was scheduled to be done yesterday morning, but right before we were getting ready to leave to go to the hospital to have the version done, they called and said that they couldn't get me in and they would call later on and let me know the new day and time they would try to turn the baby.
At 1:00, the hospital called and said they could get me in in 1 hour, so I called Jay and he came home from work and we arranged to send the kids to Grandmas and Aunt Robin's house.   We got to the hosipital and the nurse began to tell me how painful a version is and that she has never seen someone get one done without crying.  I assured her that if I cried it wouldn't be from pain, but it would be pregnancy hormones (atleast this is what I was telling myself).  Then the ultrasound tech came in and started checking to see where the baby was positioned and then minutes later the doctor came in and the ultrasound tech let him know that the umbilical cord was positioned in my cervix opening.  Dr. Robison decided to still try to turn the baby to see if the cord would move, but he didn't have success turning the baby or moving the cord.  I did have success though...I didn't cry!  I was very proud of myself and the nurse was impressed too.  It did hurt really bad though, and I was greatful when the doctor stopped trying to turn the baby.  It was so painful!!!
Dr. Robison, then let me know that since the cord was positioned the way it was, he didn't want me to leave the hospital for fear that if my water broke while at home, the cord would come out and the baby could die.  He said he was going to think about doing the C-section for a few hours as he headed back to work, but that he would probably end up doing it later that day.  He was just worried that the baby's lungs might not be quite developed because I still had 3 weeks to go.  Then about 10 minutes later they admitted me to the hospital as an in-patient, and informed me that he decided that he would just do a C-section that night.
Then I broke down in tears, from the craziness of the whole thing.  I knew it was such a blessing that they realized where the cord was positioned, but I wasn't ready at all for a baby.  I was ready to see her, but didn't have any baby things ready at home.  Paisley is still in the infant car seat, no baby clothes were washed, the bassinet wasn't set up, and on and on.
The C-section was scheduled to happen in about an hour and half so I sent Jay home to wash the baby clothes, and pack an overnight bag for me and get the camera. 
They got me all ready for the surgery, and then my blood pressure dropped dramatically from the epidural it was only 72 over 44.  This is a common thing, but I got really sick to my stomach and thought I was going to throw up.  The nurse put something in my IV to help my blood pressure and within about 60 seconds I felt fine again.  The problem was the medicine she gave me had a side effect of making me really tired!  I kept nodding off and on as they wheeled me back to the operating room and continued to doze in and out during the whole C-section...not the best timing to want to take a nap!
As soon as they cut me open and the fluid came gushing out, Dr. Robison said that the majority of the umbilical cord dropped into my cervix opening, so he again was so grateful that we found out I had a prolasped cord and that he did the C-section that day. 
Then at 5:42 pm Jursey Lyla Anderson was born exactly 3 weeks early.  She weighs 5 lbs 14 oz and is 19 1/4 long.  Her lungs were perfect and she is healthy as can be.  She is so cute and quiet.  I think she is going to be really well natured like Paisley is. 
All day yesterday any time a new nurse came in our room they just kept saying how lucky we were with the whole situation and how it was a blessing that the baby was breech, otherwise it was very possible they never would have known there was a prolapsed cord until it was too late.  Jay and I feel very blessed and know that Heavenly Father was watching over our sweet little girl and made sure that she arrived here safely.   I am so thankful everything worked out the way it did.

The hardest part is my parents and my siblings all left to go out of town for the family reunion  (they said they would stay home, but I insisted that they still go) and Jay didn't get any work done on Thursday, so he had to work all day today and he has to work tomorrow too.  So I have been lonley at the hospital by myself all day.  It is okay though because I keep falling asleep, but I would still like to have Jay here with me even for an hour or so.  Hopefully I will get to go home tomorrow night though.  I think they want me to stay until Sunday, but I am ready to see all my other kids and be in the comfort of my own house. 

We are so grateful for all the people that have watched or offered to watch the kids while Jay is at work and yesterday while we were both at the hospital, it is so wonderful to have such great friends, neighbors, ward and family.

I am typing this from the hospital and Jay has already taken the camera home, so I will have to post some more pictures of her later.

Bridger's 8th Birthday

(you got a bike for your present)

Dear Bridger,
You are such a good boy and a great helper.  You are a little bit out numbered with so many little sisters but you never complain about it.  You let Macie go just about any where with you and you (generally) are more than happy to let her come along.
You love to tell stories, and we are working on reminding you to start your story with "What if this happened..." instead of  "Do you know what just happened..."  You have such a big imagination and I love to hear your stories.
You love going to work with your dad, and he loves having you there too.  He can't wait until you are bigger and he can really put you to work! 
You are so good at reminding me all the things I need to do, because unfortunately I am so forgetful!  Any time I need to remember to do something I tell you, and sure enough you always remember to let me know in time. 
You are love the idea of becoming a boy scout and so far have loved everything that you have attended...I think you like getting out of our house of girls! 
I miss you when you are gone because you are fun to talk to and are such a good help to me. 
Just a few months ago you asked me to read part of my journal to you and you sat with me in the chair and I read to you all about how daddy and I started dating and got married and about all of you kids.  You sat with me for a good hour while I cried reading to you the most wonderful things that have happened to us as a family, and you sat there with your hand in mine and soaked up every minute of it and kept asking me if I was doing okay as I was reading with tears streaming down my face.  I loved that day and still get teary eyed when I think of how special it was for me to know that you wanted to hear all those stories. 
I love how all day long when ever you walk past me you say "I love you".  I seriously think you say this a good 20 times a day and I love that.  I hope you will still say this all the time when you are bigger...it is okay if you don't want to do it when your friends are over, but I still hope you will say to me all the time. 
I love you so much and I am so glad that all my sweet little girls have such a good big brother to look up to and protect them.  I had two brothers that looked after me and protected me and I am so glad that my little girls have you.
Happy Birtdhday Bud!  I love you!!

As a side note:

I am so proud of you that you made the decision to be baptized.  You were baptized by your dad on June 5th. 

Honey Do List

Jay is such a great helper.  He really will do just about anything {including occassionaly cleaning the toilets}.  He is so wonderful and I love all his help and I love working with him doing different projects.  He really is my best friend and I want to be with him all the time.

The other day we were planting some flowers and I got a crazy idea that I needed a rock moved in our flower bed.  It is a big rock too.  Jay picked up the rock and moved it back closer to the house and stood it upright like I wanted.   In the picture you can get an idea of how big the rock is and where it was at before he moved it.

Well in the process of moving the rock, he managed to mash his finger between the brick on the house and the big massive rock that his wife {me} thought needed moved back about 2 feet.

His finger now looks like this:

He mashed it so bad that it blew the blood out the backside of his finger.  Now (several days later) his finger tip -- not just his finger nail -- is black and blue down to his fist nuckel.

He agrees with me that the rock does look better where he moved it though...but I don't know if he thinks it is worth it quite yet.  I will have to ask that after his finger nail has grown back and he has forgotten about the constant pain in his hand.

Love you honey!  Thanks again for your help!!

My sweet little Emy

Last night I was helping Emy get ready for bed, and she was being her silly self.  This was our conversation.

Me:  "You have such a cute personality"

Emy: "Persa-what?"

Me: "Personality"

Emy:  "Oh, who's she?"

Jay and I had a good laugh!  She is the sweetest little girl and so silly.

Macie's Special Day

Macie's preschool class has been taking turns each week spotlighting one of the students. This week it is Macie's turn. She has been talking about it for weeks...
What will she wear (she is very obsessed with clothes)?
How will she have me fix her hair?
What treat should she take to share with the other kids?
and the big one...
What will we put on her poster?

We planned to make her poster today because she was out of school. We printed out several pictures and tapped them to her poster. Then we told a little bit about her and I asked her what she liked to do and wrote those things around the pictures.
She told me she liked to:
jump on her bunk bed,
play with her brother,
ride her bike,
swim,
and lots of other cute little things.

But maybe the most important thing she told me was that she liked to draw. I got her posters all done (we made two just out of file folders so they would fit in her backpack), and she insisted on me allowing her to draw a picture on it. I hesitated thinking it would ruin my beautiful posters (terrible--I know), but I told myself that it was her posters and it was for "her special day" so if she wanted to draw on it then it would be fine.

She drew on it for a good 30 minutes while I did dishes and picked up the kitchen. Several hours later when Bridger got home from school she ran on got her "drawing" to show him (I still hadn't even seen it yet),

and said,  "Look Bridger, you are blind!"



She laughed and laughed and then I saw the picture and I had a good laugh too!

Not only did she scribble out Bridger's face so he can no longer see, but she gave me a mustache and Jay a toupee.

Now I am debating if I should reprint all the pictures and make a new poster...I can't let all the 5 year olds think I have a mustache and Jay has horrible hair!

Really...Is that all?!

I don't know if I should be happy or a little bit scared...but there is only 98 days left until my due date.  I refused to post the countdown ticker on our blog until I had less than 100 days to go.  Yesterday morning I thought I could probably post the ticker soon, but I didn't check until today and was surprised at how few days were left.  The last time I checked {just out of curiosity} I still had over 160 days to go.  I had learned with Paisley that watching the little ticker countdown the months and days made the pregnancy seem really long. 

This pregnancy has gone fairly quick and neither Jay or I can believe that in three months we will have our fifth child.  Hopefully she will stay put until close to her due date because we have a family reunion about 19 days before she is due.  Really...who am I kiding...I won't go into labor early!  I should be saying hopefully she isn't late!

{now my goal is too appear to look more pregnant than chubby!}

Markers and babies don't mix

Note to self:
Even though you can see your children doesn't mean they aren't getting into trouble.

The other day I was working on some vinyl stuff in the office and I could see Paisley about 15 feet away playing contently with the kids coloring stuff.  Needless to say I didn't know she could take the lids off of the markers. 

Sew Fun

One of my good friends brought me over some of her scrap material {super cute scrap material too!} a few weeks ago, and after a trip to the fabric store to buy some more material to add to what she had given me I found a pattern on Etsy and made these darling dresses for my darling little girls.

I love sewing and this was a good napping alternative...I had been wanting (or taking) a nap every day--stinkin' pregnancy-- and this helped keep me awake and give me something to look foward to doing for a couple of days.

I have lots more fabric left...now I just need to find the time away from vinyl to sew!

It's a...

GIRL!

I was pretty sure it was a boy, but I have thought that with the last three girls.  When we found out both Jay and I just laughed, and Jay said, "well I guess we aren't done yet".  I just have a feeling that I am suppossed to have another boy.  Who knows maybe it will be in the after life, because after this baby we can only fit one more kid in the car so we will have to be done!  I don't want to drive a passanger van!!

We are due on July 8th...still seems forever away...especially with snow on the ground right now.  I am feeling great -- just super tired all the time, but I would take that over feeling sick any day.

Right vs. White

This morning Bridger and Macie were arguing over if Paisley could eat a cookie.  Bridger was saying it was too big and Macie was saying it would be just fine to give it to her.  Bridger was standing by me and said that it was too big, and don't give it too her, and then I tapped Bridger and said, "you are right".  So he yelled out to Macie, "Mom said don't give it too her, and I'm white". 

I just giggled, and said, "no, you are right" and he said (as he is touching the skin on his arm) "I am too white"

Funny kids!  They make me smile every day.

The other day while Emy and Macie were taking a bath, I asked them what color their hands were.  They held them out and said brown.  I asked them what color my hands were and they both said peach.  Then I told them to turn their hands over (palm side up) and tell me what color they are.  As they were turning them over they both yelled out brown, and I said nope, look again.  Emy got the cutest look on her face and said, "they are peach just like yours!"  Then I showed them the bottoms of their feet, and that they are like mine too.  Emy has been facinated by this ever since.  I catch her looking at her hands and turning them over and over, with a cute little smile on her face...like she is magic! 

Priceless!

On another good note, as you can tell by the picture, my sweet little Emy is potty trained!!!  Yeah!    She has been for about 5 weeks, it is so nice!   But before too long I will have two in diapers again, I will enjoy it until then though.

And these are my other two loves...

Silly Kids

I braided Macie's hair in two french braids and then she wanted a flower in it. So I twisted one of Paisley's headbands up (really tight) at the back of her head, so all that was showing was the cute flower. Then I sent her to school. Thinking she looked so cute...

This was how she came home...still a cute little girl...but not so much a cute hairdo.



On another note:

Last night as we were sitting down to read scriptures, Jay started to talk to Bridger about faith.  Briefly explaining was faith was, and how we haven't seen Heavenly Father but we have faith in him and believe in him. 
Bridger then proceeded to tell Jay that we believe in Fatan too.  Jay said do you mean fate?  Bridger said "no, that one guy with horns---we believe he is real too." 
We had a good laugh and let him know that he meant to say Satan, and yes he is real, but we don't believe what he teaches.
