First Car Ride With Three Kids

We loaded all the kids in the car for the first time tonight to go look at Christmas lights. I needed out of the house, its been a week already. We barley left Coto and Harrison was asleep and the conversation with Preston started.

P - I have Bad News....... never mind......well I do have bad news but when I tell you guys you will be upset.

Mom - Its okay, just tell us

P - Its nothing I will be fine.

Mom - Preston just take a deep breath and tell us. I promise we won't be mad. (this went back and forth for a few minutes)

P- okay, I stuck a piece of paper up my nose and now its stuck. But don't worry its only medium sized. Do you think I am going to die?

Mom- I think your going to live but we need to get it out.

Thanks to the handy dandy tweezers in the emergency kit, Jeremy was able to get it out pretty quickly. I doubt he ever sticks anything else in his nose. And he was right it was medium in size.

A New Love - Emma Wray Eynon

Emma Wray Eynon has arrived and is adorable. She has definitely stolen our hearts already.

I started to have some contractions on Thursday night and decided to just go to bed. I woke up at 2:00 and my water broke! Jeremy and I jumped in the shower and packed our bags quickly. Grandpa was able to come over and sit with the boys until they woke up while we headed to the hospital.

She arrived at 7:30am on Friday December 12th!

She weighed in at 6.11 and measured 19 1/2 inches long.

She is a great eater, we can basically set our watch to her eating schedule, every 2 hours and 45 minutes. I LOVE knowing exactly what to expect and when to expect it. We are so blessed and feel so honored to have her join our family. Harrison is a little protective and Preston is completely in love with her. He says he can't wait for us to come home so he can help feed her, play with her, change her diaper and just plain hold and love her.

We love you Emma!

Bring It On

I am 100% ready for Christmas, the lights are hung, the tree is decorated, the annual gingerbread houses are full of frosting and candies and the presents are ready to be wrapped! We enjoyed "Follow the Star" and driving around looking at lights. So now we wait....patiently wait!

The finished product. Do you see the girls face in the lower right hand window? Harrison put here in the exact same spot then all of the sudden he ripped her off and bit her in half. I said Harrison why did you do that? He responded "I don't like girls". I had to laugh.

Dad did a great job making the Christmas trees!

Harrison was more into eating all of the sugar than actually decorating the house.

I prepped the house for Preston to decorate. Can you tell his in love with his mom?

Our Santa experience was excellent this year. Both Preston and Harrison had a good time sitting on Santa's lap. They also enjoyed the donut breakfast and playing with their friends at the park.

Each year the boys get a special ordainment to hang on the tree, something that represents them that year. This year it was Star Wars. I love to look back on the ordainment for the last few years. It reminds me of me and what they were into and the all the memories of that year. Preston now has 6 and Harrison 4.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are the boys ready to eat Thanksgiving Dinner. Their favorite dishes were Turkey and the "Orange Potatoes". Preston had a special performance at school followed by a Thanksgiving Feast. He loves to sing and was extra excited that I was able to help out in the classroom ALL DAY! He decided that he wanted to be an Indian.

Only Harrison

Harrison has no fear of pain and the highest pain threshold I have ever seen. I know that we are going to end up in the emergency room at least 3x a year as he grows older.

I was sewing yesterday, when the phone rang. I had to run upstairs and I specifically told him "DO NOT TOUCH THIS". He quickly replied "OKAY MOM". It was not more than a few minutes I hear a "OH OH OH" quickly followed by screaming. Apparently he thought it would be a good idea to sew his pointer finger right down the middle of his finger nail. If you thought it couldn't get worse it does. The needle was in the down position and in his finger nail so he decided to ripe his finger out of the machine. I had to wrap his finger, scold him for touching when I warned him not to and then change the needle on the sewing machine because it was so bent.

Seriously, do they ever learn.

The Count Down!

We have less than 30 days until our new baby arrives! She is expected to be about 8 pounds, which is nothing new to me. Apparently my babies all grow exactly the same! We are getting excited, prepared and counting the days!

Thanks to everyone that came to my shower! It was a lot of fun and I received so many adorable things. I feel very fortunate to have so many great friends, thanks to Denise and Elizabeth for putting on a great party!

Every time I tell Harrison to go get his PJ's he forgets that HIS closet is now Emma's and he yells back at me "It's all GIRL stuff in here"! We are all adjusting to "the pink".
