My sweet Angie...

I love my sweet Angie. Today she brought me to tears when she gave me my Christmas present. Here's why: I had my eye on this skirt at JCP, but of course, $ 17.00 was way too much for me to spend on myself. When DeArley, her & I were driving to Kara's baby shower, we were telling her about the Christmas buttons at JCP and how we kept getting free gift cards from them and how I had found this super cute skirt with a cool print, but $ 17.00 was too much for me to spend. Today when I went over to hang out, Ang gave me my present. Inside was my skirt! The amazing thing was- she didn't even know what it looked like! She literally went in, walked around until she found " a cool print" and the price tag said $ 17.00. When she saw it, she knew it had to be the one, and sure enough it was! Seriously, you know you're good friends when you can go in a huge department store and walk out with the skirt your friend barley described! I love you Angie, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Lazy mornings...

The other day we were having a super lazy morning, nothing better than Pop Tarts to make a girl happy!

Random Roman...

Here's a few of Roman from the other day!

Ward Christmas Party...

We had our ward Christmas party a few nights ago and it was great! The kids all dressed up, the choir sang, we had a room set up displaying approx 40 nativity sets, had a wonderful musical #, super yummy treats and a program put on by the YW. It was a great night and like most big events, glad to have that one done!

Our first day of snow...

We woke up the other morning to snow! The kids were thrilled, I was not. Luckily it was nothing and melted 3 seconds later. It was great to have wet socks, gloves, scarves, hats and coats littering my living room again. Thanks Winter!

Yeah, I forgot my baby...

Friday after running some errands, I stopped at Albertson's to grab a few veggies and stamps. I needed stamps really bad and told the girl's a hundred times: "Don't let me forget the stamps!" I was chatting with DeAnna, the checker, trying to keep the girls from twirling the conveyor belt, and trying to get my stuff in the cart. I checked out, was in the middle of talking to Grace when I walked away and got in the Customer Service line to get my stamps. Josie came and tickled Willow and we stood waiting in line for a minute or two. Josie came back over with my cart, baby and diaper bag and said: " Emily, did you forget something?"  I looked over and  died laughing. "Uh, yeah, only my child!" I said. We had a good laugh and it was a good thing I was at Albertson's were everyone knows us by name. DeAnna, Josie and Catherine were all right there watching him, but I had honestly forgotten everything. I joked about it a few times after and then today when I went in for some milk, I was joking with DeAnna again about how funny that was. She said, "Yeah,the woman behind you thought you were the worst Mother and said she would have slapped you!" Well, that was a little harsh, but then she said, "Don't worry, I told her you were a very good Mother." I thanked her for her nice words and laughed it off saying, "Yeah, I bet she was the perfect Mother too and never did anything wrong." I just thought it was nice that she stood up for me. (Honestly, the Customer Service line was probably 20 feet away so it wasn't like Roman was in any danger with 3 woman loving all over him! It's just good to be reminded how imperfect I am and that mean ladies want to slap me!

They should join the circus!

Our house is a whirwind of girls bouncing, jumping, twirling, balancing & doing headstands. It's mostly Grace, but Willow decided to join in the fun last night!

Roman...

Sorry, but when you are baby # 5, you kind of get deposited wherever Mom was last. At least Roman likes his bouncy swing!

Our little cross dresser...

The girls are always doing silly things to Roman when I am out of the room or gone for 2 minutes. You know, just your normal: cotton balls taped to his head, stamps stamped all over his body, dressing him up in nightgowns and dresses and adding headbands or flowers to his head. The poor thing has no clue what is going on either- he just smiles and smiles at you. I laughed yesterday when I came out to find this little number!

Two of my favorite things...

I have to say, Roman & coupons happen to be 2 of my favorite things in the world! The other night while I was pulling my expired ones, Roman was hanging out next to me waiting for his next milk induced coma. I guess I took too long to feed him because he started munching on the coupons instead. He does love those fingers too!
