Wednesday Schmensday

Emmie: I don't like boys!
Me: Why? Boys are fun! They like to run, jump and play!
Emmie: No! I do not like boys.
Me: Well, daddy is a boy...
Emmie silent
Me: Do you like boys now?
Emmie thinking...: I don't like little boys...I only like big boys.


I've had to hear all day long about how she does NOT like boys. They scare her at the playground. lol

Conversations with a 3 year old are interesting...and frustrating lol.

Me: I love daddy

Emmie: NO! HE'S MINE! HE'S MY DADDY!

Me: Yes, he is your daddy...he is also MY husband

Emmie: NO! He's mine!

Me: Emmie...he's your daddy and my husband...like Papa is your grandpa and he's MY daddy

Emmie: NO! Papa is MY papa!

Me: Yes, he's your papa and my daddy.

Emmie: no.

Me: Daddy is your dad, and my husband...Papa is my daddy and your grandpa

Emmie:......Daddy is mine and Papa can be your husband

Me: Emmie...it doesn't work that way...just nevermind. Yes daddy is yours.

-.-

Let's not forget about little sayings or misuse of words they come up with

Emmie's nose was dripping so I asked her to go wipe it....

Emmie " no, it's ok mom, I'll just sneeze it in"

I don't know what I prefer....the frustrating, crazy conversations with a 3 year old...or the 10 month old that can pretty much only say NO! :P

But how can you get frustrated with that face? Even if she is digging in your garden pots.

SO what's up with us lately? NOTHING. :)

Alex is buried in schoolwork. Finals week is coming up and I think he's taken up a new residence at campus.  Can't wait for the 6 week break...although we all know the schoolwork will be traded with workwork.

As for me...I'm in the process of applying back to school...just waiting on my ecclesiastical endorsement. I'm still wondering if I'm GOING to do it, but making sure I get everything in order because I more than likely will bite the bullet and just do it. Luckily, BYU-I offers fully online degrees now, so I can still stay home 100% with the girlie girls.

Guess I'll go ahead and just be brave and blog about me for real. I've been pretty down about my appearance. I get going really good at dieting and working out and then after a week or two my husband brings in junk and I fail. I know I could pick it up and keep going, but for some reason that mess up just brings back all the sugar cravings and what not. It's awful.

Anyways...I'm about 10-15lbs over where I want to be and 20lbs over pre-kids weight. I don't expect to ever be pre-kiddo weight, I was super little and could've used a little weight on me. Anyways, so here is where I'm at. You can see I have the front belly sag, and I think my hand is hiding my love handles :P My love handles are the worst, but most my weight went into my thighs. That's where I've been losing most of it over the past 10 months

Ignore the mess. The girls dumped out their bath foam pieces while I was getting ready.

Let's see...Emmie is a firecracker. That kid is an explosive waiting to go off. She's is so much fun, but she's giving me a run for my money lately. Anyone know how to keep a 3 yr old from shrieking and whining all the time? If you have a secret, let me in on it! LOL She's obsessed with Jake and the Neverland Pirates...almost to an unbearable and embarrassing level. It's ALL she talks about. She tells EVERYONE her name is Izzy and that she's a pirate princess.

Ryann.... Rysicle is 10 months old now! And a skinny minnie! Despite how much she eats...

She can stand unassisted now, but has pretty much NO interest in learning how to walk. She loves to say "no"...though I'm nearly positive she has no idea what it means LOL. She also says "mama", "dad", "sissa", "dah" [dog], and "Jesus" [as best as she can lol].

We finally hung some family photos and she crawls over and points at them saying "sissa! sissa! sissa!". She doesn't care about anyone else in the photos. :P Glad she loves Emmie despite Emmie being a total bully!

anyways...be on the look out for more posts from me! hopefully :P
