Sticker Power

There is something called sticker obsession that is going on in the Birkeland home at the moment. Emmi used to hate anything that stuck to her. She would panic until someone helped her get it off. It all changed on one particular night.

I had all the Young Women over one evening, so Brian took Emmi out on a couple of errands. They went to Office Max and she picked out a package of stickers. She brought them home and soon every girl had a sticker on their forehead or hands. By the end of the night this is how she looked.




Hilarious. I am still picking up stickers in the most random places. All her dolls are plastered with stickers. Our furniture, floors, and clothes have been tagged. I can't complain about the obsession because it entertains her for hours.

She is so cute! Mallory has just started eating stickers. I don't know what that is all about. She comes to me and says "mama, I eat it". It always seems to be stickers that she tries to eat. Emmie is such a doll:)
She looks cute with all those stickers! I love the sticker on your husbands forhead!

I love the look on Brian's face with the sticker on his forehead and Emmi being so obsessed with the stickers she isn't looking at the camera. How cute is that.

P.S. Work was okay but I totally got the "are you new?" vibe that really sucked. I hate how there is no one there anymore so I'm ecstatic that you might be there once in a while. How did your appointment go today???

Oh yeah, I love the sticker obsession phase. Seriously, they work so hard with their little fingers to pull each one off. Grant would concentrate so hard. It's such a good way to keep them busy.
She is so cute...I love that she loves stickers!!!
And I love that her finger nails are painted!
Hey this week is bad but do you want to get together next week for dinner??? Or movie?? or just to talk??

Family Pics!!!

It's that time again for family pictures for the good ol' Christmas card. I always hate doing this, but you know you just got to do it. It took me weeks to get together everyones outfits. I stewed and stewed about where I wanted the shoot and what style I was looking for. I hired this amazing photographer and I am for the first time extremely impressed of how things turned out. Here are a few sneak peeks! Emmi was handing out fake smiles and frowns the entire shoot. I can't tell you how hard it is to get everyone with their smiles on in one photo. I think that our little Jack stole the show. He was by far the cutest in every photo. P.S. Oh yeah..... I completely CHOPPED my hair. It's been a little hard to adjust to, but a good change.

Baby JACK JONES!

We showed them didn't we Jack? As I said in my last post I was going to tell the hospital that Jack wanted to be born on May 20th regardless of what they say. My last post was written on May 20th at about 7:45 p.m. While writing the post I did feel some stronger contractions but since I had been contracting all day I really just ignored it. Until I published my post and started walking around. They immediately started coming 3 minutes apart and I had to breath through them. Brian was putting Emmi down to sleep, but I barged into the room and said we need to go to the hospital fast. I called Eric and Kelley to take Emmi and in no less than 5 minutes we were out the door. Emmi couldn't have been more thrilled. Off for a sleep over with her cousins. Driving to the hospital was the longest drive possible. The contractions were coming so fast. I was a contortionist in the passenger seat while gripping Brian's thigh everytime a contraction hit. Brian dropped me off in the round a...

I have "KIDS"

So, I find myself tripping out at the thought that I now have 2 kids. I was completely freaking out before baby Jack arrived due to the fact that I feel like Emmi is a handful and I can't imagine doubling that work. To get myself to calm down I would just tell myself, "everyone does it, right?" Well, to say the least it hasn't been a breeze so far. I am handling the baby fine. Yeah, some sleep deprivation, but Emmi has been a complete "2 year old" nightmare. I believe she is loving her baby brother, although she thinks that smothering, hitting, poking, jumping near his head, yelling in his ear, and collapsing to the floor everytime she doesn't get her way at that moment seems to be a good way to get attention. YIKES!!! My patience is wearing thin. I would LOVE any advice on handling two kids and most importantly handling a 2 year old with a new sibling. This is innocent Emmi loving her brother at the moment
