6 years already?!

6 years ago today our first baby girl, Emma Marie, was born at 3:20pm, weighing 7lb 7oz and 19 1/2 in long! Here she is in our birthday princess hat, every year each girl gets a picture with the hat (including me).I usually do a huge slide show, but many of you have seen all the pictures!!! I can't believe she's that old, but then again I can't remember life without her? My parents always made sure we felt special on our birthdays...we woke up to the "Happy Birthday" sign, presents and balloons and we've done the same for our kids! Jody had to leave for work before she woke up so she had to wait to open her presents until after he got home, but this is what she woke up to...
A handmade sign by her daddy and we hung up balloons! Thank you to everyone that called and sang Happy Birthday to her this morning, she loved it! Tonight we are getting together with family to celebrate by going out to dinner and Saturday she is having a few friends over for a fairy princess party! Oh, and this is what she picked out for breakfast, she asked Jody for breakfast in bed too...she's so funny!!! She got some money for her birthday too. I asked her what she wanted to buy and of course she said she wanted to go to Target to see what they had. My mom and I have taught her to spot the red tags at target because they mean clearance and it means we are spending our money more wisely, so she did just that. Here is a picture of what she bought with her money and here's the breakdown:
Jeans: $8.99 (orig $17.99)
Black Shoes: $4.24 (orig $16.99)
Gold Sparkly Shoes: $4.98 (orig $19.99)
Black Dress Shoes: $3.74 (orig $14.99)
Brown HSM t-shirt: $2.24 (orig $9.99)
Grand Total: $25.88 vs. Original Total: $85.55, a savings of $59.67!!!
Almost everything she picked up was 75% off, she is quite my bargain shopper!!!

Sunday our fellow AWANA workers threw Jack a baby shower! It was so much fun! We ate yummy food, played games and the girls were able to help open all of Jack's gifts! We received so many nice BOY things! We are very thankful for all that we received. Thank you to everyone who helped coordinate, plan and attended the shower! Here is a slide show of the event...

Girls in Shades


I met my mom, Matt, Diana...can't forget Ashtyn...for a late lunch yesterday at the mall. While we were there "Wanka" bought all the girls sunglasses, they were so cute we had to snap some pictures!!! Here's a picture of Anna, Ashtyn & Emma...
Lizzy was in our stroller...Jack was too small for sunglasses!!!

This is a conversation I had with Lizzy last night when we got home from church...

Sarah: "What did you learn tonight at Puggles?"
Lizzy: "DO NOT HIT!"
Sarah: "Lizzy, did you hit someone tonight?"
Lizzy: "Yes, Miss Hannah...and Anna"
Sarah: "Did you tell them you were sorry?"
Lizzy: "Yes, sorry Hannah and Anna for hitting" (Anna was asleep & Hannah was at her house)

After we got her jammies on I decided to ask again...
Sarah: "What did you learn tonight at Puggles?"
Lizzy: "DO NOT SCRATCH!"
Sarah: "Lizzy...did you scratch someone tonight?"
Lizzy: "Yes, Miss Hannah"
Sarah: "Did you tell them you were sorry?"
Lizzy: "NO!"

I decided not to ask again what she learned in Puggles!

Don't worry she will be punished if she did hit and scratch...we'll find out the truth from her teacher Ms. Linda! Believe it or not Lizzy gets in trouble quite often for pushing, hitting, scratching and just being mean to her sisters...you wouldn't know it from her angelic face!!!
