Easter 2011

By
So this Easter I failed miserably!  I didn't even get a picture of Emmi and Jack together in their easter clothes. In fact Jack never stepped foot in his outfit.  We did manage to get a picture of Emmi in her adorble dress that Grammy Jill found her.  Our church is at 1:00 and by that hour Jack had completely gone ape, along with all of us.  Brian stayed home to nap Jack and Emmi and I got ready and went.  We did it and enjoyed the spiritual uplift to be reminded of our Savior and his life!









We did manage to dye easter eggs the night before and to have a hunt when the kids woke up.  Before the kids went to bed Emmi put lettuce leaves down the front sidewalk to lure the easter bunny in.  When they woke up they had easter baskets filled with toys and candy hidden for a hunt.  Emmi was in heaven.  It is her favorite game to go and find hidden things.  She reminds me of me when I was her age.  All my friends could attest that I "made" them hide my minatures in my room so I could find them. No wonder why my friends hated coming to my house to play.  They were forced to play the "hide and seek" game.  Oh poor Emmi!  Too much like her Mama!

Family Pics!!!

By
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!

By
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"

By
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
