I don't know if anyone even looks at this, but if I do have anyone who likes to keep up with me here... I'm thinking about switching things up...
I've been trying to decide for a while whether I wanted to go private or not. I'm still not totally decided but I thought maybe if I did, it would give me a little more incentive to keep going on the blog train, since sometimes I procrastinate and I think it may be subconsciously because I don't know what I want out for the world to read or see.
So I'm trying something new, I'm going to switch to private and see if that spurs anything inside of me to keep it up. I like having stories and pictures to go back to since my journal is basically non existent and I feel like I need some place to document the sweet memories I want to remember from my kids. I just really actually need to document them.
So I'm switching to private. If anyone cares or would like to follow my hopefully growing blog, leave me your email. Thanks a bunch!

Snow Surprise
Owen's reaction to waking up to snow on the ground...
We woke up and opened the blinds and he saw the snow outside. The first words out of his mouth, with no enthusiasm, were, "Where my grass go?" When I told him, it was under the snow the next thing he said was, "Who did this? Mommy do this, Daddy do this?" I had to laugh and explain that no one did it and it was so cold outside that the rain turned into snow. His next response, "Owie ski?"
This kids cracks me up. He is very particular and doesn't really like change. Anytime we change something up or it's different than he's used to. He asks "Who did this? Mommy do this? Daddy do this?" Like he's sizing up who he's gonna get after.
All I can say is after the day we had yesterday, this was exactly the way I needed to start out our day today, having this boy put a smile on my face.

Emme - In One Word...
SWEET
Emme is the most good natured, easy going, happy, sweet baby. Everyday, I'm in awe at this little face and how her smile just lights up my whole life. She is the biggest blessing because dealing with a stubborn two year old is challenging and days when I'm going to lose it, I hold her and can't help but be humbled and have my heart melt all over again. I adore her so much.
She is 7 months old now and I'm sick that I haven't documented better. I guess it's a lot harder to stay on top of this blog thing with 2 kids and not much time to myself. I'm so grateful to get to spend my days with my two kids. Owen and Emme have a sweet relationship as well. He can sure get her to laugh which is so much fun. Every morning when he wakes up the first thing he says is "check on baby." Basically telling me that's what he's going to do. Then he goes and climbs up on her crib rails and that's how we start our day. If I want her to stay asleep undisturbed, it's best if I put her in my bed. So Owen doesn't know where she is to make his grand entrance.
At 7 months she rolls everywhere... She really knows how to get around and gets stuck in corners sometimes. But she really knows how to get whatever she's after. Two days ago, she started sitting on her own. She claps and music gets her excited. (Mostly the music from Owen's favorite TV shows). She is super loving and loves to give me the best kisses. She'll cuddle into me and lay on my shoulder (something Owen would never do).
Some fun facts:
LOVES:
It's so funny to see how she has developed some of the same mannerisms as Owen. And seeing pictures of her doing the same things he did at the same stages. She is an absolute blessing and delight. She brings the sweetest spirit into our home and truly helps to tame my frustrations with the "terrible twos." Every second I have with this little angel is filled with so much love.
Emme, I love you and am truly grateful everyday that I get to be your mama...

Some fun facts:
LOVES:
- to eat: loves mush, most baby food, cheerio puffs, Watermelon (is a big hit), and cookies just came into her life this last weekend and I've never seen her so aggressive with her food.
- her jumper (she is so good at it and will stay in there for hours)
- her feet (she can actually put her toes in her mouth, I figure there the one toy that she never loses and doesn't have to worry about her older brother stealing).
- her blanket
- her mama (she gets so sad if she see's me and I don't come over to pick her up or if she see's me walk past her). Is there a better feeling in the world than being that person to a little angel like Emme?

- baths (she puts her hands behind her head, just like Owen did when she lays down in the tub and just relaxes. She just barely started spending some time sitting up and splashing.)
