i am so freaking tired

yes i am. emmett this week has been awful when it comes to sleeping. he is teething again and it is going to kill me. last night was the worst. i was getting ready for bed and everyone in the house was asleep. ya and he woke up. i nursed him thinking he would go to bed right away. ya not even close. so i went to the living room and we rocked and we rocked for an hour. still not asleep. instead wide awake. he played on the living room floor till 1 yes 1 am. finally nursed and fell asleep after that. i went to bed. he was up again at 4. corey was mad cuz i did not get up fast enough so i got mad at him and told how my night went. dont remember finishing nursing emmett or corey leaving for work. 730 rolls around and get kids out the door. screaming headache and shot. i just hope i make it the rest of the day. emmett and the kids are happy and i am living on advil and dr. pepper. i cant wait for bedtime cuz ya u guessed it I AM TIRED.... plus awnry and pms's..not a good combo.. wish me luck.. i need it...A-

8 months old

emmett is now 8 months old and getting bigger and smarter everyday. his new thing now is to crawl along with knocking down block towers that i and his siblings make for him. he is also clicking his tongue and trying to make car noises with his mouth. he is also waving too. he is getting to the point where he wants to feed him self and no longer wants baby food. he is a happy baby and is loving being able to go and get to what he wants. this is a fun stage and am enjoying every minute that i can..

bitter sweet

so yesterday i gave my baby car seat and my saucer/bouncer away. it was a bitter sweet thing to happen. the saucer i have had for 10 years. well i got it when wyatt was born and all of my kids have played in it. i was glad to know that someone else could use it but sad that it was gone. ok well kinda sad. to know that you are done with that part of your ife (ie no more babies) is a bitter sweet thing but exciting as well to see what the next 10 years are going to bring. teenagers, braces, missions. who knows how it is going to go but i am ready for the next stage in life and ready to take it head on. hopefully i am prepared and can do what my children need me to do for them or need from me.

he is crawling

emmett has now figured out that he can crawl. he can now get to anything he wants too. good or bad? not sure yet. but he is having fun. it is cute to watch too.

i made these bags for the kids to carry there things to and from church. i had seen a few other kids at church that had them and thought it was a great idea. what ya think? i made them out of levi/denim..

new year

so today was the offical start of the new year. back to reality after having a week and a half of just being a family and being with family. it was so nice to see my brother and a few of my sisters. it was esp nice to see my mom and dad. it was sad when they all had to leave. i also saw and hung out with a ton of my extended family. good times. i know this is always a time to start goals and to keep them. i am not doing that this year. i have just decided that i am going to do my best and what ever it is that i am doing. if it is trying to say prayers or read scriptures, or just even trying to play with my kids more or being more patient. nothing specific but do my best. i figure that is all i can ask of myself is to do my best. i hope everyone had a great holiday and i hope and pray everyone has a great year.
