Angel



My Emma girl, in just a few days you will be 7-- Every time I listen to this song..."Angel" I think of you especially the part that says,"she gives me presents, in her presence alone"...... love, love, LOVE you !

You are:
- A momma to us all
- A helper with out asking ( that's the pic  of the over flowing dishwasher-- you decided this day to use dish SOAP instead of dishwashing liquid-- bubbles, bubbles everywhere!:)
-Daddy's pumpkin
                              - A Giver to all
                             - Such a great witness to others
                             - Patient with your brothers
                             - Best friend to your sister
        One of the five best things ( ok 6... daddy's pretty great!) that has ever happened to me!

All in a days work....


Jeremy and I came upstairs a few days ago to see why we didn't hear loud noises and jumping- ya know when it get quiet something is up!!... But we found Mr. Jaxs doing some computer work instead! He has gotten really good at knowing how to navigate the net ( well we have Noggin and Starfall- btw LOVE these for school!- under favorites, but he knows how to get to them- I am just know getting to know how to work a computer! lol). He usually plays in Emm'as room but I guess he needed some peace adn quiet fr the rest of the gang?!!

See I DOOOOoo take pics of my other kiddos too- next week its all about mommy Emma since her bday is next week!!

Funny things Jaxs says......
In car I had told Daddy he had a nose hair ( sorry J :(!) and we hear Jaxs blurt out from the back-- "I NEVER want to get old...just to Emma's age thats it!"
"Why, Jaxs"?
" Cuz I don't want all that hair and a mushstash like Daddy"!
still calls popcorn= popporn!
and marshmallow= marshpillow
He has so many other funny sayings but I forget them so quick...need to keep a journal nearby to write em all down!

someday


While making lunch today and thinking just how many sandwiches I have made over the past few years this thought came to mind.....


Someday...... I will have grown children that can fix their own sandwiches and they may not care if its just a jelly or Pb and J, cut in a triangle ( Cash), crustless(all but mostly Emma!), or any animal shape ( can u guess...Jaxs!)

Someday... I will have only 2 people to do laundry for ( YESSSSsssss! as of today I have already done 3 loads plus diapers and can't wait to fold it all-- Ha ha that is a joke btw!),but I will miss it someday

Someday.... I may never change or wipe a dirty bootie again and yes I may be a little sad:)


Someday.... I will be on time

Someday.... I will have a more adult conversation other than Cashie's 20 min story about his new pink house ( ??-- he has been on this kick for a month now- too cute- ask him about next time u see him!) and all the animals that live there and all the food he cooks there!


Someday.... I may not forget to say goodnight to my hardworkin hubby as I immediately fall asleep as soon as baby is down and my head hits the pillow! that should be soon honey-- Briggs is waking up only 2 times a night now so I am at least getting a good 4 hour stretch for the first one:)


Someday.... This lil guy may be a fireman like his Paw-Paw Ken was..... I couldn't resist taking this shot- was with a friend taking some shots for her and since Briggs was there-- well I just had too!lol

Say it isnt so...







Briggs is 1 MONTH OLD!!! Today 4 weeks ago he arrived on his own time and what an awesome day that was! Now off to cry as my baby is getting to old ( LOL)!!
I am not sure how big he is but getting chubby for sure- he has grown out of his NB cloth diapers ( a whole other post-- but LOVING them!!) so I am thinking around 10 lbs or so- tomorrow we go see the doc:)..... I know so many of my posts are of him but I can't help it! Babies are the best and this is something I can honestly say I have never thought or felt before (shhh don't tell the other kiddos I got!) -- I have been telling everyone how great he is - such a sweet lil guy and how he might look just like his biggest bro Jaxs but acts WAY different - this part is tru not to knock Jaxs as baby, we did have a lot going on at the time of his birth, but I am beginning to think it may just have been me back then. Having 5 has truly changed me ( yeah I bet u say- UR CRAZY!!lol) no really, I never thought I would ever have this many children or could handle it-- some days it is crazy and I have help two days a week from 10-2pm through July so I may just be in la la land but I don't not want to miss one thing- Yes I wear him constantly ( have 3 fav slings now and luv those too!) and hold him, nurse him whenever he wants and after his first nighttime feeding he usually sneaks in bed with us..... and I LOVE it thank u very much! O yeah-- I am also LATE LATE LATE ( more than usual ) and hopefully all will understand.... There is so much that is different this go around but a beautiful different and as always God new exactly what He was doing ( I may just get this one day ya think?! *wink!):) xo






ps- Yes.....I do think babies smile already at 4 weeks- and not just while sleeping-- I have proof!! lol
