the new guy in town

 

 oh these three amigos they make my heart happy.

henry at 9 weeks, camden at 3 weeks, rhett at 3 days

a little of this and that

 

 

This one will be two weeks tomorrow.

Time sure does fly when you aren't getting enough sleep.

 

I had a little too much fun today dressing him up and taking pictures.  Not great pictures, but the subject in them is adorable so it makes them okay and i ordered some birth announcement cards too.

 

 

On a different note.

Amelia is officially potty trained.

yay for big sister and only having one kid in diapers.

 

Things are going good.

the girls are acting out more now though and i'm hoping they will stop soon cause they are driving me crazy.

but other than that, things are good.

 

 

Another note.

my birthday is sunday.

i'll be 26

yeah im an oldie

kidding, not old yet

i'm hoping to be able to get out of the house and do something,

but might be hard to do this year.

maybe i'll celebrate in a month or so.

giving up life for a newborn.

ah motherhood. :)

 



we got cereal?

i guess its about time for some sort of update. i think i've made everyone wait long enough.

 

right now i only have the few pics that i took on Christmas eve.

 

the christmas pics are on my husbands camera which is with him in idaho right now.

yeah.

christmas eve

 

making sugar cookies for santa

 

 

 

most of the cousins were able to get together at my parents house and make some cookies.

the first batch the kids made whatever they wanted.

 

it was pretty funny.

 

my parents give the grandkids either pajamas or slippers every christmas eve.

this year was pajamas!

 

 

"we got cereal??"

i think mia was actually a litte diappointed

because she LOVES that chex cereal.

 

inside were their jammies

 

 

 

angry birds for evelyn

princesses for amelia

 

they love them!

 

as soon as chris gets back from idaho

i'll get the christmas pics on here.

we had a great christmas.

the girls love all the things they recieved this year.

its crazy to think that it has been 3 years since this little nugget came to our family and added a whole new spice to it. she is a total nut case and we love her for it. seriously sometimes i worry about her level of crazy. but really she just has so much love for life! it is so much fun being able to live life with her and her excitement about everything!

awwwwwww my little nugget!

this was the day after she was born.

 

if you are interested to read her being born story you can HERE.

it is told through the eyes of my husband. its pretty funny. :)

three's company

what are all he words to that song. three's company.

come and knock on my door. we'll be waiting for you...and...the thing and the thing...three's company too.

hahaha i love that friends episode. i tried to find a clip but alas i didn't. so it's probably not as funny to you if you haven't seen it.

well we found a new home for our sweet little puppy. it was needed. my girls were not very nice to him and got in his face alot and i could tell that he didn't really like to be around them anymore. so i knew i needed to get him in a place that wouldn't annoy him so much.  i nice lady came and picked him up on Wednesday night.  the girls were a upset. okay they were really upset but they knew he wasn't going to stay i think they just didn't think that he would actually go. actually amelia didn't really care, it was evelyn who really had the fit. 

i felt bad that it didn't work out for our family but we learned that a dog for the girls is not something that can happen now.  so we decided that when all the kids are at least 5. so when evelyn is 10 we'll think about it again.

we'll have plenty of distractions to keep the girls mind off of puppy.  evelyn every morning asks if my tummy is going to pop today and every morning i tell her nope not yet. after you turn 5 then it will be almost time for mommy to pop.

weird conversation....or not

the girls fought over who could "hold" baby for the picture so they each got there own shot with baby.

they are both so excited to be sisters again and are even more obsessed with babies since i told them. evelyn is holding a baby magazine that i got from the doctors office.

they are so in love already and it makes me so happy. 

we are so excited!

ps: when i say spring i mean early march.

"due date" technically is feb 28th.

 doc changed it to march 2nd

i told him to change it again to march 7th

 just for good measure. :)

so it's really DUE WEEK!

copy cat

so no much has been going on this last little bit.

we still have the pup.  he is fitting in quite nice with the family.

evelyn has developed something extreamly annoying...copying everything i say. heaven help me! she did it for the first time the other day when a couple of friends were over visting. good thing for evelyn they were there cause i kept my cool.  hahaha. 

sure isn't the best thing in the world, but i'm working my way around it. if she decides to start copying, i say freakishly long sentences and do it really fast so she gets confused and laughs then walks away. i know she'll figure out that soon and i'll have to come up with something else.

joys of litte children and their ways to mess with momma.

 

amelia has been giving me more and more attitude lately.telling me no, hitting, screaming, throwing tantrums. its so hard to stay mad cause she turns on her cute and i just melt. she know how to work her way onto people. she is just good.

i love my girls they bring my life so much love and meaning. they drive me totally crazy some days but i couldn't imagine my life with out them.  they have taught me so much about love and especially patience and i am continully learning and growing.  i am far from being a perfect mother but i'm trying my best and i hope my children know that i would do anything for them. they are my world.
