BaBy EmErSyn'S ShOWer...

My best friend was home from Ohio over the Christmas break..she was so kind to let me throw her a baby shower...I love making food and decorating for parties..I don't think it was my best work but I waited till school was out to plan it...I think she had fun..she got cute stuff too..I made her this little book to remember the day..I had everyone bring a piece of fabric and I (meaning my sister) is in the process of making her blanket...the little girl in the post is Andie..Paige's niece..I just loved the picture..(Paige is the one in black in the background).

ChRiStMaS...

What a whirlwind of a couple months..I feel like I have been snooping on everyone elses blog but doing nothing with ours...we had a great christmas...Molly was super excited when she saw all the toys and played with everything...we were at my parents..Bart's parents..and of course she was spoiled rotten...I had the tree down ASAP and it was so refreshing to get our house back to it's simple form...Bart slept next to me eight times in Decemeber..there was a lot of overtime out at work so we ate it up...I was super lonely but the paycheck was NICE! So who is excited to start their taxes?? To some it may be a dreaded time but we usually (knock on wood) get a good tax return...we are going to pay off our carpet...so nothing to exciting but a relief to get that bill paid off...I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and was able to see the family that we all so truely LOVE...

To my best friend...

Dear Molly Ann-You are my absolute best friend. When I look at you my heart jumps and I smile. I love when you scrunch your face and start to laugh, I love that you love Cooter so much, I love that you cry when dad teases Cooter, I love that when dad comes home in the morning you won't give him the time of day until your cartoon is over and then you won't leave his side. I love that you kiss me and touch my face, I love when I have a long day at school and come home to find you and dad asleep together. I love that your first word was momma, and the second was 'Coo Coo' (cooter)...I love that you hug any and every doll and give them your binky and bottle. I love that you LOVE the green binky. I often wonder if your dad and I got married the first round what you would be like...you would be almost seven! Can you believe that! I want you to know how much I love your dad and I hope that you will marry someone just like him. In everything that he does he has you and me in mind, he misses you when he is at work and smiles so big when we go to see him, he is so proud of you and always talks about you. I hope that you will grow up to be a lovely, well behaved young girl. I want you to make the best decisions that you know how to and I promise to offer you every opportunity that is in my power. Know that you have many friends and family that love you as much as mom and dad do. Always know that your Heavenly Father loves you and watches you everyday and smiles with every grown up girl step you take. Never forget me or that I love you and am grateful that you in heaven chose me as your mommas.
Love-your mom
