First Girl with Stitches...

It has happened...Emilee is our first girl with stitches. 12 to be exact!! Of course it is bound to happen, but when you combind Big Brother Tate, Miss Emilee, and a Baseball Bat...it can't be pretty! Of course it was an accident and after it was all said and done, he (Tate) felt terrible and all Emilee could say was, "It's ok Tate, it was just an accident." Talk about a tear jerker moment for a very hormonal mom. Emilee was quick to tell the doctor at the IntaCare that her brother would be making her bed for a VERY long time :) Such a Cutie...

Emilee was such a trooper, so of course Daddy had to get her a special treat after we were all done. Hopefully this is the last set of stitches that we have to deal with, for our girls at least, for a VERY long time!!

Emilee's Cupcake Cake - 4th Birthday

So, here is what I wanted to make for Emilee's 4th Birthday cake...

And here is what I made for her 4th Birthday cake....similiar, but not quite it :)

I had to add a little bit of a TinkerBell Twist into it!!

Girls - N - Curls

Ok...so I thought I got suckered into this curling iron when we were at the mall the other day...BUT, once I used it on the girls...I didn't. It is totally awesome and works great. It took me about 20 minutes or so to do Shaelee's hair and about 15 or less on Emilee's. Then....my sweet Shaelee tells me after I have finished her hair that she want a ponytail. Of course she did not get it :)

5 wonderful children....

Ok...so it finally HIT me this morning that I have 5 children and 4 under the age of 4. YEP...I AM NUTS!! So, at 7:09 this morning they were all still sleeping and I did not have the heart to wake them up, or maybe I was just enjoying the piece and quiet. That was probably it!! I love quiet time. Anyways. We need to leave the house no later than 7:40 - 7:45 in order to get Tate to school on time. Since he brought home his report card and it showed 7 tardies I have been trying to make it a goal to not have so many. So by 7:15 this morning Shaelee wonders out of bed, then finally I decide to wake up Emilee and Tate around 7:20, but they did not want to get out of bed. It was great. Needless to say he was about 10 minutes late to school this morning and I have not yet made it to Costco today...which was at the very top of my to-do list for today. Now, I am going to go after I get Tate from school....with my 5 wonderful children :) WOW...5 kids!! I cannot believe it!! They are all well worth it though (it's a good thing, too :)

Birthday Girl Emilee Turns 3

I cannot believe that my little Emilee is now 3! She is such a sweet little girl who has a personality like none other. SO...since mom was not in the mood to throw a birthday party we decided to go ChukeE Cheese'S. She had a GREAT time. All the kids had fun. It was well worth the 2-1/2 hours that we spent there...even if the pizza is terrible!! After our fun time we headed home to have birthday cake and ice cream....oh yes, and opened presents. It was a very good day :)

Where does the time go???

4th of July Fun...

This was a great 4th of July. We spent it with friends and had great fun and good times.
