Pizza Night

Since it was like the third or fourth night in a row that Daddy wasn't home for dinner (who counts anymore?) we went for a super easy frozen pizza and carrots. It was a hit.

They had a big fight over the back pack right before dinner. Bails was upset because the zipper on hers broke, so she wanted Hazel. Hazel was not about to give it up and thus refused to take it off the remainder of the night (except when she wanted to put something in it or take something out).

And Bails has chapped lips. She wont stop licking them. So intermittently through dinner she would let out a loud shriek and then cry because her mouth hurt. I am surprised my ear drums still work after all the screaming that goes on in our house.

Morning Snack

Who would have thought pirate booty could make two people so happy? They cheered when I brought them their bowls.

Animal Party...

Little Girls

Hazel came out in her glasses, looking like an old grandma, which made me laugh. 

 Then Bails ran over and told me to watch her dance.

Goof Balls!

Baby Miko's Blessing Day!

Today we decided to bless our little Emiko Jane. After church we all gathered in our living room and blessed her. It was so nice to be at home. Sam did such a good job. He didn't change her name last minute, despite the constant teasing since I filled out the paperwork in the hospital. Hazel got sent to the back room with Aunt Eden and Issac so we could have some peace and quiet. Too bad we didn't send Bails too. As soon as Sam started she turned to me and kept saying "Mom, Mom." As soon as I would shoosh her she would immediately tell me to stop shooshing her so I missed a solid portion of what was actually said. I made Sam write down what he could remember. He did his best, but I guess this will just be a video I have to go back and watch in heaven.

Grandma Pam was nice enough to make the trip down from Boise.

 And Honey, Papa & Rachel postponed their trip back to California so they could stay. Miko is very lucky to have such great grandparents.

 

 I attempted to find her cute white head band bow so she could at least wear it for the pictures. But like everything else in this house, it never presents itself when you need it. The next day Hazel was caught playing dress up with it, which means it was probably in some little nook hiding place she discovered. Oh well, such is the life of the third child.

 

 Bails needed to get in on the action; Cheetos face and all. I guess the hygiene of the first two goes out the window a little bit as well once the children outnumber the parents.

 And the lowly middle child is left crying because once again she didn't get what she wanted; the expensive digital camera. Wah wah.

Happy blessing day Miko. You are loved so much by your family. You are a blessing to us all. Thanks so much to all the family who came: Grandma Pam, Honey, Papa, Rachel, Robby, Aleesha, Quinn, Eden and baby Isaac.

A Cookie and A Hockey Game

Saturday we all headed to lunch at my Mom's cousin's sandwich shop. It was so yummy. The sugar cookie was a big hit.

Bails gobbled her half and only left a few crumbs scattered across her face. Hazel was a different story...

Then there was some more sitting around till Daddy got home.

Then everyone except Miko and I headed out to the arcade and hockey game.

 They had a fun time while Miko and I had more funny watching TV and smiling at each other; my perfect kind of night.

Her little giggles are the best.

Black Friday

The perks of having family in town? I had a babysitter all weekend and just went shopping to my hearts content. And when Sam actually got home from the hospital he could tag along with me. Shopping in peace is my new favorite thing.

Dana, David and my Dad pretty much lived in this front room all weekend playing with way too many toys.

 Cute little chubbers.

The girls were in heaven being the center of attention. Thanks for watching them all weekend everyone.
