Play-Dough Hawaii

Today, while I was getting Briallen to sleep, I let the girls play with play dough. This is what they created: They said "Look, Mom! It's Hawaii!!"
Natalie made these: A girl laying out in the water, and some coconut trees (it's kinda blurry).

And Emma made these: Some banana trees, a girl laying out in the water, and a car.

I don't think I was ever that creative when I was thier age! They have never even seen Hawaii, but I think they did a pretty good job guessing what it would be like. I love the little things kids do.

And our baby is a.......

GIRL!!!! An adorable, precious, perfect little girl. The ultrasound was the best one I have ever had, and I could see everything about her. I didn't really want to find out, but Randy and all the kids had different ideas, so we did, and I am glad. She is so precious, and we are so excited to bring her into our home full of beautiful little girls!!!

Emma is old enough for school already!!!

I can't believe how fast time flies!! My baby is in school, it's so crazy. It's all a new experience for us, but she absolutely loves her teacher, and the new friends she has made. It has been really good for all of us.

She is such a poser. She had me take so many different poses of her....haha, I love her!

Dirty Laundry

The other day while I was doing some daily cleaning, I walked into the Laundry room, and this is what I saw:

A bunch of dirty little rug rats hangin' out in the laudry baskets. Kids are so stinkin' fun, I tell ya! It's moments like these that help you enjoy being a mother.

Our first "bad" accident....

When we were first moving in here, Katie and Shiree came to help me organize a couple rooms, which was WONDERFUL! We all sat down to visit when we were finished, and Natalie was "gracefully" running around the couch. She tripped over....well, nothing really, and her head landed perfectly on a corner of a wall. I am so glad Shiree and Katie were here, because I have never had to deal with anything like this before. She has a gash in her head that was so deep!! Shiree scooped her up and ran her to the kitchen sink, and Katie kept having to tell me to "Calm down, Hanna!" I hurried and grabbed my purse, and asked one of them to come to the emergency with me. Katie held her the whole way, and stayed with me while Natalie got 8 stitches. AHHHH. Anyway, Natalie was fine, she was so tough, and she didn't cry the whole time. Infact, she was so proud of her stitches! I hope incidents like this are few and far between! First, because I am not very good with situations like them, and second, we got the bill, and it is $308!!! That is so expensive!!!
