She's 3

* She loves dress up and wears her sisters old ballet costumes 90% of the time...including plastic high heels, usually not matching (on purpose-and in public as well! :)
* She HAS to have slippers on her feet and therefore is constantly bringing me mine...we bond over slippers :)
* She LOVES listening to Hannah Montana really loud in the car and her favorite song is "Everybody Makes Mistakes" and she makes me play that song first every time even though it is track #2-she knows almost all the words to the whole CD!!
* She tells me she loves me a million times every day (and I love it)
* She wants to go to school like her sisters soooo bad
* She wants to be in ballet really bad too!
* She brings down at least 20 hair pretties after her bath so I can put her hair in braids...every night.
* She fills purses, bags, and backpacks with random stuff (and alot of it) and insists on bringing it with her every where she goes.
* She LOVES going to church because she thinks Sunday school is "her class"
Her favorite color is pink but she calls it red
* She is my only girl who will play all on her own (but has to check up on me frequently so she knows where I am)
* She will come into my office randomly throughout the day and kiss me on my hand and my arm and then leave without saying a word.
* She begs for a Webkinz every time we go somewhere but doesnt even know how to play with them on the computer yet...she just knows they are really cool because her sisters all want them too!
* She eats almost anything I fix for her without complaining (amazing!)
* She loves coloring and doing crafts.
* She got a digital camera for her birthday and hasnt stopped taking pictures since.
* She asks for hot cocoa every morning after we drop off the older girls at school.
* She's growing up waaaaaay too fast for me and I wish it would slow down already.

Happy Birthday my little Rylee girl! I love you soo much!!!

A moment...

that I never want to forget. Natalee and Karlee both has pictures and dress rehearsal for ballet and it can be a little crazy. This time was not so bad and actually enjoyable but my favorite was a moment, a short, brief little moment when Natalee practiced her dance and was all finished and sat down...I was snapping pictures (I know, you are totally suprised now right??) and I took this one and right after that Nats whispered to me that she wanted to give me a hug (so sweet) and so of course I told her to come on over and get one!! I didnt really think too much about it after that but later that night she came up to me and asked me to guess what her favorite part of the day was. I guessed that maybe it was wearing her pretty ballet outfit and she says "that hug that you gave me after I danced mom, it felt so good and made me so happy"....wow...just wow. She amazes me with how sensitive she can be but mostly she just amazes me. Its a moment I will never forget. Ever.

Very very random...

So ummmmm, I took a break from blogging apparently and now am so overwhelmed with everything that has gone on in the past two months I dont know where to start!! so today is just randomness:

1. Last week while having lunch with Karl I noticed my name was not programmed in his work phone along with my number....so I gave him a bad time about it. He wanted to know what I wanted it to say and so of course I said "hot mama" and Karlee, Rylee, and our sweet little friend McKenzie have referred to me as "hot mama" ever since..I hear it at random times now.."I love you hot mama" or "hot mama, will you get me a milky cup"...its makes me laugh every time!

2. After picking up Emilee from school the other day we were driving past the jail and she was asking about the people in orange clothes mowing the grass etc. After discussing that for a bit she nonchalantly mentions that her dad had informed her if she "goes to juvy her job will be to clean people's butts"....I was thankful for the rest of the day that I am the one staying home with the girls during the day instead of him. :)
