Post 101

Well I totally messed up! I was going to do something grand for my 100th post but alas I wasn't paying attention so Emie in Charge was my 100th entry! So I guess I will hold off on my grand idea until my 150th post or maybe the 200th!

Here is what has been happening lately.

On Wednesday morning all the kids went to the dentist to get their teeth checked and cleaned. All the kids even Emie sat in the chair for the Dentist, they all did great not a single cavity to be seen! On Wednesday night Emie was playing with a ball on the trampoline when she decided to push it through the springs. When the ball finally fell through she fell too and hit her mouth on the trampoline bar! The perfect trip to the dentist was marred by this fall because she hit her mouth so hard it cut through her gums and possibly damaged her permanent tooth. Off to the dentist again...Thursday afternoon. The dentist took X-rays of her front tooth to see if there was any damage to the tooth or root...YEA nothing is wrong everything should turn out just fine. She will just have some discoloration of the baby tooth.

That isn't the best picture but she didn't want me doing that in the first place!

So Thursday was full of errands and dentist visits but the most exciting thing that happened was we got a new garage door. The old one was so broken and so with this years tax return we decided to go ahead and get a new door! Here are the before and after pictures! The before one is the one with Emie!

Just one more home improvement made, Check! We didn't want windows again for a couple of reasons...1st because the windows made the old door break in the first place, ask Justin to explain if you HAVE to know why. 2nd the windows make it easy for a robber to break the glass pull the cord and lift the door open. 3rd Because I can park the car in the garage and no one will be able to tell if I am there or not...the Schwan's man, or a solicitor.

Then while waiting for the door to be installed Emie decided to put on this Buzz Lightyear costume.

The thing about this costume is that it is made for Parker's Build-a-Bear. Yea she thought it looked fun and put it on. I was thinking if she doesn't grow at all during the year she could wear it for Halloween! Just kidding, I just thought it was pretty funny though!

Emie in Charge...

Of our days and our nights!

Here is Emie waiting so patiently for the kids to come back to me at the pool.

She was ready to go home and take a nap, and didn't like all the waiting. She is so funny, when she wants to call someone she pinches her cheeks instead of making a megaphone with her hands and when she is looking for someone and it is bright she puts her little hand to her forehead like she has a huge headache. Emie is such a saving grace I am so happy to have her!

It's Official!

Well today was my last official day of being in the Relief Society Presidency!
Yep after just 11 months of serving as the R.S. 2nd Counselor I was released. We got a new bishopric a few Sunday's ago and the new bishop happened to be the R.S. Presidents husband so by direction of the 1st presidency he needed to release her and the existing presidency! So here I am with no commitments and summer vacation before me. I am already buggin Justin as to what to do now! If I didn't feel like crap I would say lets go camping tonight with my sister and her family but I don't feel like getting sicker if I go camping! Anyway the new R.S. left some holes in other organizations so someone said to me today not to get to lazy...yea right I am not going to church for a month and I will then avoid any callings that would come my way!
So as my last official act as 2nd counselor I have a meeting on tuesday morning where I give all the good stuff away and fill and emtpy corner of my house with junk!

Michelle's Piano Recital

Last Saturday afternoon Michelle had her 2nd piano recital. She did a great job, I however didn't check the amount of room left on the camera card so I only got about a minute of her song! I hope that you get the jist of her performance!

Very Discouraged

So I was looking at my blog today and the layout was hurting my eyes...I think it was just to ugly to have anymore so I went for something a little more easy on the eyes:) Anyway I also put a little piece of encouragement for my own piece of mind here on my blog! I hope it helps me know what my importance on this earth is. This weekend was a huge challenge for me and Justin with our kiddo's and I need a few positive affirmations in my life...I hope I start thinking more lovingly about my kids! Here's to a new week and only 2 weeks until school is out!
OH by the way...Blue October's new CD "Approaching Normal" is excellent. Justin got me this CD for Mother's Day along with a new shirt and skirt. It has been a great day filled with breakfast in bed, gifts, church, naps, Sabrina the Teenage Witch (don't make fun I loved that series), and Dinner! Thanks family for the great Mother's Day!

P.S. I did get the clean version of the CD!

Emie...

Emie cracks me up everyday and a lot, so here are a few pictures of Emie that got me laughing!

She got herself dressed this morning...Notice the shoes and she put her own dress(nightgown) on!

This Sunday Morning she let us put her arms into her tights, and Loved it!

Who couldn't laugh at this face!

Tooth brushing hobo?

Monica posted this pic awhile ago but I thought I would get it on my own blog. Again she dressed herself!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

SO the last few week Justin and I have been really busy trying to get our ugly little brown house looking better...So here are a couple of pictures...one before and a couple of not so finished products! We went through so many paint colors finally Justin said we are not going to buy anymore samples the next color we get will be in the five gallons! Yikes so we went back to H.D. and the guy talked us into one more sample so we wouldn't ruin a 5 gallon bucket of $100 paint! We got home painted it on and loved it...back to H.D. we go and this was what we got!

Now we have the rest of the house to do at least the front is almost done...these pictures were taken before Justin finished most of the trim! Like I said we have been busy!

P.S. I didn't put the before picture up I gotta find it...maybe later!
