Busy Bees!

I fell like we have been so busy lately and I have not blogged about any of them! As usual Emmy is growing as fast as can be! She is getting the funniest personality. She loves to put on my boots (that go all the way up her legs) and run around saying " I so funny mommy!" She loves going and looking at lights and always gasps "Oh my gooness!" And her latest thing is when I get her out of bed in the mornings she says " Hi honey!" She is so sweet and amazing! I am overwhelmed when I think of the love I have for her. I cant imagine life without her. It is too sad to think about.

I love this time of year. I love the music. I love the decorations and I love the time I have with my family.I decided to set Christmas up about 5 days early this year. I am so glad I did! Matt did a wonderful job on the lights and my trees turned out really well! For the first year we have 2 trees. One in the family room and one in Matt's office. Matt also got me some plates for our plate holder. They are so adorable!

Last week Matt and I decided to go to the Savior of the World. It was fun to get out and do something a little different. I always have so much fun with him!

Thanksgiving was busy busy! I woke up and went to the 11:00 showing of Twilight with my 2 sisters. The movie was great except for Bella who was the worst actress I have ever seen! We went to Matt's parents house for dinner and got ready for our 3:30am shopping adventure the next morning.

I quit my job at Taipan! We learned the hard way that it is better for me to stay at home and just be the best mom I can be. Matt did a great job at watching Emmy but things were just not the same.

Saturday night I helped sister-in-laws get ready for Matt's brothers 40th surprise birthday party. We had Thai food and played the Celestial Marriage game. We came in a tie for second!!! Great party Eve!

Last night we went and saw Christmas Utah by my moms house. Matt and Emmy we so amazed! They are so fun to be with and I love them both more everyday. Thank you Matt for everything you are to me! Christmas time so far this year has been the most amazing one yet!

Be expecting another long post for this week! We are going to Temple Square tonight. Wednesday we are going to the Jazz game. Thursday we are going to The Festival of Trees and Friday we have Matt's office party. We are Busy bees!

Thinking About Things Too Much

I feel like I am in a rut. I seem to do the same thing over and over. I just keep hoping for one thing and am thinking about it too much. I wish I could stop thinking about it because once I do that is when it will come. I am sorry Matt and Emmy. I have not been myself and have been too emotional. Today is a new day. It is going to be a good day. It is ok that things are not happening as we planned. Everything will be ok! Everything happens for a reason and things happen in time. Now I am going to go get my Emmy who is yelling "mommy mommy daders daders" get out of her crib and have a good day!

Happy Place

My mom always told me that " your laundry room needs to be a happy place if you want your laundry to get done". I hate laundry for the life of me! I am a clean freak and dont mind doing any chores except laundry. About a month ago I walked into my bedroom and wanted to cry after seeing 5 loads of laundry sitting on the floor. That was when i went and got myself the grass fabric softener. I was so good at doing laundry and stayed on top of it for a total of a week.

Yesterday I went to hobby lobby just to get out of the house. As I was looking around I found the perfect sign. "Inquire within. Moms laundry. Help wanted" It was just what I needed. I called Matt said " honey the laundry room is getting a makeover, it does not count as money from my budget and your going to be happy even if you don't like it" He was fine with it. I bought a few little things and repainted my magnet board. I am fully confident that my laundry room is going to be my "happy place" and that I will be able to keep up on my laundry. The only thing left is to paint. We are going to attempt doing the laundry room, family room, den, master bedroom and bathroom this weekend. Wish us luck!

October Fun!

This has been such a fun week! It has been so fun getting ready for Halloween. Last Wednesday we all went to the pumpkin patch. Emmy loved picking out the pumpkins and kept saying " Tis is da punkn I want mommy" She is growing so fast and saying so many words. She is so much fun! On Thursday we had a party for the kids at playgroup and Emmy enjoyed herself. Halloween was a blast. We hung out at our house and Emmy we Trick or Treating. She loved it! I was a little upset with her costume this year. I had such high hopes for it but it did not turn out how I wanted it to. She was still adorable. I hope everyone had a GREAT Halloween!

8 people slept in my house!

Yesterday my brother-in-law and his 4 kids came to visit us and spend the night. It was so fun to see them and it is amazing how fast kids grow. Emmy had a blast with Lissa and Bethany. She was so sad when they left. The boys mostly played the X Box.I hope they had fun! Having them here made me want more kids so bad! Sometimes I feel like Emmy gets bored with me. It was so fun to see all of them playing together.

I cant believe my house slept 8 people! We had 3 in our spare bedroom. 2 in the office on the air mattress. 2 in my bed (Matt and I) and Emmy in her crib.

Thanks for visiting! Eve, I hope things get better! I will see you soon I am sure!

Emmy's New Do

Everyone who has ever met or seen my child knows she has curly curly hair. She gets this from Matt. I think it is adorable but it can get out of control. When she wakes up in the morning she can sometimes look a little homeless :) (she still is the most adorable thing in this world). Today when we were getting ready for church I decided to try and straighten it. I wish it were a little longer and a little more shaped but it is cute for a change!
