Mother's Day photo shoot

 Both girls were sick when I took these pics for their Grandmothers' smileboxes.

 So we got a lot of these...

 and this is how much Emmy loves them~

 and this is how much Elles loves them~

 one looking...

 the other looking...

 and BOTH!-- not the best-- but ok.

 little lovers.

 and finally~ PERFECTION!

 kisses

and more kisses~ Happy Mother's Day to all of the AMAZING women in our lives!

Great Times!

It's just like I used to feed the baby cows as a kid-- the best is they BOTH love it!

sticks are the best props!!

 I told Emmy I would take pictures of her at the park--

 she found this stick-- and the awesomeness began!

injuries!!!

 It's been a busy week for injuries as well~ Elles got this oddly places rug burn falling down our stairs.

Emmy was helping me cook (a constant occurrence) and a drop of bacon grease popped out and hit her eyelid== I'm so thankful her eye was closed!  Both have since healed ;)

Grammy's matchies!

 Poor Elles doesn't get to have a normal nap as often as she would like-- luckily, she sleeps everywhere ;)

 precious!

 pose!

 Grammy sent these cute outfits-- I love them--

and the girls look so pretty in them~ thanks Grammy!

Grammy's package

 We also got a package from Grammy-- yep! what a mail filled week!

 The girls were delighted with some fun presents~

including lip gloss-- Emmy's favorite thing in the world-- and I think Ellie is going to follow in her footsteps!

Caterpillars!

 Booky sent us caterpillars! Emmy waited sooo patiently- she was pretty sure she heard the mailman knocking about 19 times a day for a week- we finally started tracking the package-- she thought it was skype and would yell reassuring things into the computer like "don't worry!! you are coming to me!"

 they made it (finally) and were a little toastly-- in fact they were dead....

 but Ems has declared them to be sleeping~ and we are sending them to the dr. this week ~

Luckily, there is a guarantee and they'll send us new ones~ now for another week of waiting...

The cutest one year old I know!!!

This is her "just woke up" face-- I just could eat her alive!

 Eating something or other that she shouldn't~ see the delight!

The profile that could launch 1000 ships== edible!

the lips!

 Emmy is in LOVE with this one lip gloss I have-- she asks for it daily and looks pretty hot!

She loves it and I finally had to capture her ruby lipped cuteness!

Augusta comings and goings

 Augusta is pretty darn fun! Emmy is constantly riding her scooter~

 The little cuties!

 Collecting pine cones on an adventure.

 We go on a LOT of walks (Daddy often has the car because for us to get it- we have to drop him off at the hospital BEFORE 7:00 am)

 It also is a very matchie matchie state ;)

 AND there are HONEYSUCKLES!!!!

 We have a back patio-- some form of this face is something I often see ;)

 There are tons of creeks~

 Our back patio area-- with Mr. Frog-- he does pretty much everything with us...

 The girls are always happiest outside!

Elle Belle-- this little cutie doll LIVES in this crown-- she loves it- she also is getting her 8th tooth!! look at her go!

I ADORE this girl!
Elles is such a little lover--she is darling and I couldn't enjoy her more-- oh and she just got tooth #7-- I know- over acheiver--

#3 is a HE!!!!

 Just before the big moment!

 Waiting to find out whether pumpkin is a he or a she! We wore the appropriate color of our guess-- Emmy thought that she would have "a sister who was a boy"-- so she has on both.

 The moment the guy typed " it's a boy" (he didn't say it)-- Let's just say that is pure joy on Jason's face!

 To celebrate we had my favorite- a Crispers salad- and Emmy named him Tank.

Elles was delighted too-she can't wait to meet this cute little brother!
I had come up with many positives to either a boy or girl-- now that we know #3 (Tank) is a boy-- I won't dwell on the reasons a girl could have been fun too-- now it's time to bring on the BLUE- along with the swords, fishing poles and dinosaurs-- I'm just happy that Emmy and Ellie will both have a prince to dance with soon- at the moment- Daddy is exhausted from the double duty!

16 weeks with Pumpkin!

I'm LOVING this little boy already!
I was WAY less sick during 0-12 wks from 12 wks-16wks pukey pants.
Other than the sickness when my tummy is empty~ this pregnancy has been GREAT!
Jason says I'm very nasty-- I think my fuse might be a little short ;)
I also cry all of the time-- like if I just think of the movie musical Annie-- I bawl- a lot.
and today someone asked me if it was one or two-- AWESOME!
