BEST deal ever... honestly.

So- we bought some gorgeous leather couches- you might be asking "why? you don't even have a house?"

(this is a horrible picture-- but it shows the couch, loveseat and ottoman)

the answer to the above question is that we are going to be renting somewhere not furnished for 72 weeks once J takes the step- for that reason alone- they are a good idea- AND I love leather- kids can spill on them and it doesn't really matter and the REAL reason is that we got all three for $50.00 total- yes folks- $50.

We bought them and then looked them up online (the tag is under the cushion) and the couch was $1000.00- the loveseat was $997.00 and we didn't look at the cost of the ottoman- but I think that for $50.00 we got a steal! I love stuff like that.

Disney with Auntie Amber!!!

Emmy is getting VERY brave with characters :)

Amber ran the Disney marathon- whoot whoot! Emmy wore her Cinderella jogging suit in honor of Amber's success.

Here we are as our little family of three- with Mickey and Minnie!

Emmy LOVES both Minnie and Mickey- it's so cute.

Emmy and Ellie waiting to see the famous mouse...

Emmy was soooo excited to be back to Disney- she was literally jumping up and down chanting Mickey or Disney or Princess- such a fun time :)

Which will she be??? 37.5 weeks...

Here we are! 37.5 weeks- at this point with Emmy we were already delivered and home and jaundice free...

Things I am loving:
my belly- it is still cute (almost too big- almost)
how busy she still is- CRAZY!
not throwing up- yes- it disappeared about a month ago!
the LACK of water weight this time
that everything is pretty much ready for Penelope Jane to make her appearance!

Things that I am NOT loving:
how big I think she is going to be
not knowing what she looks like yet
Emmy not being the only girl for much longer
my back hurting
the vericose vein on my leg ;(

A lot of my friends have the new baby bring a present for the older sibling- I think this is a splendid idea- we thought it would be cute to give Emmy and "Ellie" so that she can feed, change, and put to sleep her "Ellie" while I do the same with the real one- so for the after Christmas sale- these babies were $5.00- yes $5.00- and I got two- (I can out one away for a future present...) the question now is which will Penelope look more like??? I can't wait to find out! yellow or pink- who knows! Emmy was a wild card with blonde curls and blue eyes at birth- so now I feel like Penelope could be anything... so excited!

injury- or as Ems says- "owie owie!"

Emmy got a scrape on top of her foot when we were hiking the other day- it was very serious (according to her) so we needed to medicate and bandage it up- :)

Weirdy Wednesday~

Of course Emmy has her headband AND necklace on in the tubby :)

Emmy even needed to do a wardrobe change halfway through her bath-

Love this face.

and this one too-

Emmy is such a girlie girl- I love it!

Mickey Mouse!!!

Josh bought this costume- Emmy then took it and said "thank you Joshie!"

I could die it is so cute!

I think that Ems is the perfect Mickey!

Adorable :)

the longest park post ever...

peek a boo!

Emmy loved the slide-

and the swing with Jett!

I love the determined look on her face :)

Emmy and Londyn had a fab time playing.

And so did Emmy and Jordy!

and so did Londyn and Jordan...

Abi had fun being sweet.

TT and her cute boys :)

Little Londy Lou Lou.

Emmy loves swings~

But she loves the swings with Daddy even more!

and the slide with Daddy and Jett- couldn't have been better :)

I love Jordy and Emmy's faces in these- with friends- they are so brave!

Jordy was the bravest alone though.

Jett was brave with his mommy :)

More Utah fun times- so much to catch up on!

Like mother- like daughter- both of us have weirdy smiles ;)

Christmas lights are so much prettier in person- but I thought this was a great a pic!

We got to do a lot of fun things- one of them was puching Abi around-

Another was playing in the Christmas Decor...

and holding hands with Daddy- and playing with everyone...and just spending time with Jason- not studying- ahhhh it was so nice to not have tests, class, mini rotations, etc.

Londyn wanted the large candy canes to be real- and ate them in her high hopes- then Jordy saw how we were all laughing at Londyn and wanted to join in the fun- Emmy- again, just observed everything- of course she did.
