You gotta see this

Watch this - I was crying so hard by the end!  I HEART HAITI!:)

If I had a quarter for every time Emery said something funny, I'd be rich!

Just a few minutes ago Emery ran up to the bathroom and she called down to me:

"Mom! What color are toots?"

A little crude, but hillarious!:)

My Problem

Conversation with Emery while getting ready for bed the other night:

Emery:  "Mom, I don't want to wear pull-ups to bed anymore."

Me:  "Well, we just changed your sheets yesterday 'cause you had an accident wearing underwear to bed.  I think you should wear pull-ups for a few more days and show me that you can keep them dry.  Then we can try underwear again."

Emery: (with a scowl and a scolding pointed finger) "No.  This is your problem Mom. Not mine!"

Interesting...:)

New Favorites

 

 

Jane discovered a new place to play – I’m sure you can imagine how gracefully she gets in and out…need to catch it on tape sometime!

 

 

 

 

These pictures are from my last Boutique last Friday – It was my best one yet!  There were so many fun items – I was glad I made a little money so I could justify my few little purchases :)

Valentine Craft Show

 I am thrilled to be a part of this “All Handmade”  art and gift show in Sugar House next weekend.  Come for some unique gifts and ideas! Click the image below to see it bigger,

I Know…

It’s time to be shocked – I’m actually posting something of worth (at least I think it’s worthy:)  Here’s a quick picture log of our Holidays.  Hope yours were great too!

Emery as Mary in the Nativity at my parents’  house.  It was amazing how still she sat for the whole time…she loved it!

You’re probably wondering why her hair is wet…and why Jane is naked in the next picture…  We found all three of the cousins playing in the toilet upstairs so we stuck them all in the bathtub.  They had a great time and played hard.  I got Jane out and put her in her new Christmas Eve jammies, got Emery out and in hers, unplugged the tub water, turned around to pick up the towels and SPLASH!  There went Jane in the 1 inch of remaining bath water.  UGH – no new jammies on Christmas morning this year for her!:)

The girls and Santa – (I think Kevin secretly wanted to sit on his lap too:)

Me and the girls with clothes from their Grandma Klea

This is Emery on Christmas morning after she opened a new book of Princess stories from Santa…notice all the presents still to open?  It took 5 minutes before we could get her to stop reading and open some more…

AND for NEW YEAR’S EVE we decided to insulate the living room along with the attic.  I’m sure the Christmas tree will be so warm and cozy now… 

We had a little accident with the insulation blower machine. The pipe came apart in the Living Room and blew pink fiber glass insulation all over!  It was a fast and easy way to get a flocked tree:)  We spent a few hours cleaning and vacuuming every ornament and stem of the tree. 

The happy part: We have a more insulated attic (tax rebates and lower heat bill will more than pay for our efforts) and we got In-n-Out to reward our hard work:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was our Lundgreen Family How to Host a Murder Party for New Year’s Eve.  Everyone got all into costume and we had a blast!  Darn that John Silver --- he did it!!:)

Christmas Boutique

I have not been a very good blogger lately, but between ward parties, boutiques, christmas parties, shopping, cards, neighbor gifts and concerts, there simply is not enough time! 

Just wanted to let you know of another boutique I'm in this weekend.  I have a couple new things like pincushions and hot mug cozies.  Get some more shopping done for everyone on your list - there will be a ton of cool stuff!  And most is not too expensive...I know the word "boutique" often means pricey. :)  Here's the info:
