So Cute!

I know it's hard to believe....but yes, she really is that cute!

Back to Normal!!

I am loving that Kaylee is back in school, so I can get back on my normal schedule. Only problem is, Emma! She wasn't part of our "normal" schedule. We are having to re-write the book on "normalcy" here, and it's taking time.

For starters... laundry, laundry and more laundry! I didn't know adding one more tiny little human could add to the amount of time I spend huddled on the floor folding clothes. It's insane!

Then there are naps... or the lack of scheduled naps. We have yet to get Emma into the routine of naps, and Crew is on his way out of them! Mom could use a nap every once and awhile too you know!

Don't forget about exercising! Trying to get rid of the baby weight with three kids is almost impossible! (Almost). With Chris working out of town, I can't sneak off in the early morning for a stress free jog. I am forced to do workout videos in the living room and try really hard not to step on Crew who is also trying to do workout videos. Plus I have to stop frequently to calm Emma down if she's not having a good time watching.

Last thing I'll say is- dinner. It seems as soon as I have dinner hot and ready to go Emma pipes up and wants to be fed too. So everyone else eats a nice dinner while I feed her and then I get the cold leftovers. We are still working on the timing of this obviously.

Yup, we are far from a schedule around here, but everything feels good. I'm sure things will fall into place soon enough and we will be back to "normal."

Christmas Blessings

I know it's already in the new year and my Christmas post is late, but I just wanted to share some pictures.

We had a great Christmas this year. We had family over to our new house on Christmas Eve for a Mexican Fiesta... it just might become a new tradition! Santa made it to our house late in the evening and left the kids some fun new toys.




Kaylee got a new bike which she wasn't too sure about at first (she couldn't reach the ground), but she has learned to ride like a champ and she loves it.





Crew got a new race track set which is constantly going here, so we are pretty sure he likes it.





Emma got a new bunny toy and a soft cuddly blanket. I got a new glider/rocker, but I think Emma was my Christmas present! Chris got a new game for his XBox, and we haven't seen him since! (jk)



2009 was a great year for us. We had our struggles and trials, but we are so blessed to also have the good times. We have grown so much, and we are learning new things every day.



To ring in the New Year we invited Chris' family and my family to the blessings of Kaylee, Crew and Emma. Kaylee and Crew never received their baby blessings, but it's never too late! We did all of them on Jan. 3rd, and it was so wonderful. The children did great and you could feel the spirit so strongly. It was such a blessing to have so much love and support for our little family. Thank you to all who came, and those who couldn't... we really missed you, but felt you in our hearts.

We are looking forward to 2010. I know I have set alot of goals for this year, and I can't wait to see what I can accomplish.
