3 am Prayer

This week has been rough for our family. We've all been sick with bad sore throats and coughs and it seems like there's no end in sight. Add on that it's quarter end (Marty's busy season), and we've been barely surviving. I think I'd be horrified if I added up the total time Emi and I have sat watching shows this week. Yesterday, I finally thought Emi and I were on the up and up and then she had two hysterical crying fits during her nap. It was so sad. At night, we put her down for bed, and she slept great the first hour or two before Marty and I went to bed. As Marty and I were going to bed I told him I was close to my breaking point. (He's been the one who's been sickest and been working lots of hours...so he should be the one complaining but I was telling him I was instead. haha.) Anyway, just a little bit after we went to bed Emi started crying again. Marty went in and helped her and she was able to go down for a little bit but then she just kept get...

Emi's Phrases

Just have to document some cute Emi phrases from recently! Me: *praying over our lunch* "Please bless the food" Emi: "and the girls" Me: "What girls?" Emi: "The young women girls." She adores all of the girls in young womens and they adore her too. It's so sweet. Emi loves talking and asking questions about baby sister. She always refers to her as "my baby." "Will my baby play with me?" Instead of saying things are huggable she say's they're "hugl-y." It's so cute! Emi's been really into pretend play recently. She loves pretending that she's going to school on the school bus. She also loves pretending to be a chef. Yesterday she kept saying "And so...(and then would say what we were going to do)" over and over. She's adorable! "Red Minnie" is Emi's absolute favorite stuffy.

Las Vegas

Emi went pee in the potty at the airport, but some of it got on her pants. I forgot to bring an extra pair of pants for her, so we improvised! Thank goodness I had a jacket. Emi went on a morning walk with Grammy and Papa. I am in love with all these cousins! My dream is for our kids to be close with their cousins. Emi, Rach, and Isaac at Spring Preserve. This is such a great place to go with kiddos in Vegas. You could spend several days here and still have things to see/do. Little strawberry girls. Marty's such a fun uncle. The kids LOVE him. The kids were very excited when Aunt Bubs showed up. In Emi's words "I yike Aunt Bubs" Red rocks with the fam. Soaking in all the warm!! The fam! Just missing Jackie and Nate. We celebrated Bubs' birthday with PB Trifle. Bubs has always been obsessed with anything PB. Everyone making their trifle cups. My parents watched the kids for an evening so the rest of us could go out on the strip! They were miracle workers. We left a...

Baby #2

 And baby #2 is a... GIRL! Bring on the pink. Marty's not a huge fan of gender reveals...but I thought it'd be fun to do a little something. I ended up bringing pink donuts to YWs and surprising the girls. The girls gave me all the reactions I had hoped for ;)

Hawaii

Some Hawaii prep! We made it! Just chillin' Ice cream is always a good idea. Marty and I got engaged here 5 years ago! Emi and her grandparents. Molokini Snorkel trip Something I love about both sets of Emi's grandparents are they are so involved. And fun! Capturing Emi with grammy. Checking out the lu'au out side our villa. Going on a walk while the boys (+ Lucy) golfed. Emi LOVED the ocean and beach this year. It made sitting on the beach so fun! Cheeesee Another cheeesee This year's Hawaii crew! Missing Courtney and Michael + Nick! Lucky girl. She's so loved! Mmmmm. Feeding the fish with Grammy. Grammy and Papa watched Emi multiple times this trip so Marty and I could get some time away. Thank you!! The sand toys this year were a big hit. Sea Kayaking.
