Mom's night out...

~ Fork and Screen~
~Cinema Suites~

So tonight, me and a girlfriend went out just the two of us because we both had very long, hard, emotional days. The kids were not behaving! Are ya with me?! Anyone?! Anyway, we decided to go to the movies and we saw 'Duplicity' with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. It was a little confusing so I think I will rent it when it comes out but it was funny and entertaining. We decided to go to the show that was playing in the FORK AND SCREEN. A place where you can eat dinner, have drinks and relax. We were so excited. When we got to the movie theater, we found out the same movie was playing at the same time in the CINEMA SUITES. What's that you ask? Well....let me tell ya! Leather chair that reclines all the way back with a push of a button, complimentary popcorn in a mini silver bucket, a call button, a swivel table in front of you, a great movie and NO screaming kids misbehaving!! It was pure bliss. I told her all we needed was an oriental man scrubbing and painting our toe nails! That is our new favorite place!

Tulips!

I planted tulips in the fall and here they are...right on time! I can't wait to see them when they bloom!!

Emmy Walking!!

Here are some of Emmerson's first few steps on her own! We are so excited for her and she is pretty proud of herself!

Where we live, it gets pretty windy. Not because we live in a windy city but because we have a huge open field to the south and west of us. The wind comes over the hill and it makes it very easy to fly a kite. This is the first time Bella has done it by herself. She had so much fun and I think I got a pretty awesome picture of of the deal!!
Here is my hot mama!! She is so stinkin' cute! Emmy was feeling really crafty one day!

She got this toy box for her birthday and her sister taught her how she could get in it! She thought it was pretty cool!

Good Little Mommy

Today I was picking up a few things around the house and Bella was playing with her shopping cart and one of her babies. She put Nicole, her baby, in the cart and looked at her straight in the eye and said, "You stay in your seat or else we are going to go home. We don't get up. Is that understood?" Hmmmmm, wonder where she's heard that before??

Happy Birthday Princess Emmerson!

I am a few days behind! Our sweet Princess Emmerson turned 1 on March 14th! I cannot believe it! Where has the year gone?! She rang in her first birthday with an ear infection and now we have an appointment with an ENT to see about getting tubes in her ears! She was a trooper, though! She got a lot of great gifts and I think her favorite part was the cake! She wasted no time digging into it. I will post pictures of the party soon!

Emmerson, from the first day I held you I knew you were going to be my easy baby! I was right! You are such a sweet girl and I love how much you are a momma's girl. You are so close to walking and when you figure out that you can do it, there will be no stopping you. You are a cautious little lady and I know that is why you haven't taken off quite yet. Being cautious is a trait that will be good to have as you get older. You will take more time to think about what you are going to do instead of just going for it head on. You are so very smart and I look forward to watching your little personality blossom even more over the next year! I love you my little honey! Happy First Birthday!!

My New Favorite Thing!

I am sure most of you have heard of Method cleaning products. I am a HUGE fan! Well, I bought the Tub 'n' Tile to use for the....tub and tile and the counters. OH MY! The smell is so amazing! Sheldon loves it too. It says it "smells like a spa" and they weren't lying. It has this eucalyptus/minty smell and it is soooo refreshing! It makes the bathroom smell wonderful!

I have been trying extremely hard to go "green" in our house and I would love to say mainly because of the environment but I'd be lying. It is mainly for my family. Method makes it easy to do that! I have used the wood floor cleaner, stainless steel cleaner, numerous hand soaps, non-scrub shower cleaner and now the Tub 'n' Tile! The cheapest place I have found this stuff is at my favorite place.....TARGET! Try it out! You won't be disappointed!!

Happy Birthday to our sweet Bella!

Today our sweet princess turned 3! It has been a bit challenging at times but we are so blessed to have her in our lives. She puts a smile on everyone's face that comes into contact with her. She has a heart of gold and is so sensitive to others. I cannot wait until the day I will be able to call her friend, because I know she will be the best!

Isabella, you are a strong, independent young girl and I know that will carry you through some great things God has for you later on in this life of yours. You are also very beautiful. Not only on the outside but on the inside; that is what counts the most. Your sweet spirit will always lead you doing the things you know are right. We love you and look forward to the many joys, tears and love we will share with you as you keep growing into a young lady. You are our little angel girl! XOXO

Isabella's 3rd Birthday Party!!
