<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyone else get that panicked feeling <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">after </em>taking family pictures? I start to wonder…did I pick out the right outfits? Was Emmies hair in her face the whole time? Will we even get ONE good Christmas card photo?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I know, I’m crazy…but these are the kinds of questions I ask myself every. single. time.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And that’s where my good friend Tiffany comes in. I swear everything she touches turns to gold. I go from praying that we got at least <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">one</em> good picture–to wondering how on earth I could ever pick a favorite.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I know I say it every time we have our pictures taken…but goodness, I cherish these photos. They’re sweet memories, frozen in time. I can’t wait to look back on these some day. I know I’ll be grinning from ear to ear…</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Can we just talk about how amazing this cotton field is?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ever since I had kids, I feel like I've become less adventurous and hesitant to partake in things I used to jump at... things didn't involve our children, some weird guilt would come over me. I'd always find some excuse for not wanting to leave them with someone...or thinking the money for whatever we were going to do should be spend on something fun for them instead.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last week we had the opportunity to go to a Dave Matthews Band concert, mind you we are both huge fans and have never seen a show. Of course I was iffy....making excuses as usual. Seriously whats wrong with me? Hubs finally convinced me and I had a bit of a hard time leaving the girls so late in the evening plus a big storm was coming so my debbie downer brain started going</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As soon as we got there, of course it started raining....harder and harder. It didn't stop for the entire show...we were cold and drenched by the end of the night but it felt so good and freeing once I let go of the negative thoughts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was a such a great night with my husband & friends....also a much needed reminder that sometimes you just have to remember to dance in rain and put your worries aside.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One day, I'll be able to sleep in as late as I want. I'll be able to plan my entire day from the comfort of my bed and know that my day will go according to plan. One day there will be no hiccups, no chaos, no mess.<br /><br />One day my house will be clean. The laundry will be done and put away. The dishes will never be stacked in the sink for more than a day. The dining room table will be empty and free of sticky spills and crumbs. One day our carpet will be clean.<br /><br />One day my living room will be free of little toys and crayon marks and play-doh. One day I won't have to watch my step as closely. The bathroom in the hall will always be clean, and no longer necessitate the quick spot clean when company comes. It will no longer have hair bows and toothbrushes littering the counter and towels on the floor. One day everything in my bathroom with match, down to the soap dispenser.<br /><br />One day, will be here before I know it. I'll wake up one morning and the dolls will remain on the shelves, their shoes in their designated bins. One morning I'll start making smoothies and coffees and someone will only want orange juice and a single piece of toast. One day, I'll come home to an empty house, free of toys and spills and piles of laundry to fold. And I will miss the chaos terribly.<br /><br />I find that I get wrapped up in the mess and the chaos. Because I'm pulling our clothes out of the clean pile. Because dinner is chicken nuggets again. I get upset when I realize that the light switch in the bathroom has dirty finger prints after our guests have left, that they had to wipe their hands on the discolored towel hanging on the rack. I worry that my kitchen sink smells, that the garbage should have been taken out yesterday, that they just might sit on a couch that is full of cookie crumbs.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />I try to remind myself that this season is so short. That already the spills are less. The crumbs are fewer and farther between. I think that one day I'll miss the smell of chicken nuggets right out of the microwave. I've begun to realize that one day they will let me sleep in. That one day they won't need me to make their breakfast. It's occurred to me that one day, they will be so wrapped in their own lives that sitting down to read a book or color a picture will be a distant memory.<br /><br />One day my house will be so quiet and clean. And I'll wonder why on earth I wanted this so much. Because one day I'll miss every single bit of this life that is so very messy that it is downright beautiful. As my mother in law always reminds us " These are the best days of your lives"</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My Dear Emmie,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> 365 Days of joy & chaos and I wouldn't have it any other way. You're such a sweet thing (as long as you're with me) you say "hi" to everyone you see but you're weary if they get too close. It's been so fun watching you and your big sis interact, you love her fiercely. So much that you run to her bedroom door when you wake up (around 6AM) and bang on her door to wake her. You still do not sleep through the night and I hope that glorious day when you do is coming soon. Even when you were in my belly I already caught a glimpse of your personality and I would say to your daddy "this baby is non stop" and its still true now, you really are nonstop. Not sleeping very much and not sitting still for even a second...There is no such thing as mellow time with you. You spend your 1st Birthday in NY, we took you to the beach which you hated...no sand was to touch your hands or feet. Everyone says you look like your sister or "Exactly" like your mama which is funny because I think you look just like your daddy. You definitely have yourself a little temper already....you cry and throw yourself back when you're told "no" I call you my wild one because this is all new to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
You've taught me a lot about being a mother, tested my limits and proved that every child is different. You are your own person that is for sure!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Love,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Your Mama</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sometimes life can get a little crazy having to share my time with two little girls,</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Sienna has done really well always accepting and loving Emilia.. </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: center;">
but there are times where I know she acts out just for attention...Emilia is a 10 minute napper so its been so hard giving Sienna one on one time without the baby always in my arms. I'm slowly finding myself getting back into the groove of this mom thing and finding a good balance...I felt like I got to a point where I was always scolding her for her sassiness. The words.. "you need to listen" were constantly coming out of my mouth. Lately she's been asking her Daddy not to go to work in the morning which has been killing us! luckily his job is super flexible and tomorrow he's working from home to spend more time with his gals! :)</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We just got back from a little holiday in California with Dan's parents, I used to think traveling with one kid was challenging and boy can I laugh at that now.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The beauty of living where we do in AZ is getting to choose when you want to go see snow, and not have to deal with living in frigid winters. So when we heard Payson { hour and a half} north of us got 10" we knew we had to take a little trip and enjoy it for a day. I think we kicked off 2015 on a very happy note :)</span></div>

We are basking in the afterglow of Christmas... and that translates to . . . stepping around the mess of new toys scattered everywhere, ignoring the piled up dishes, and enjoying the fact that we don’t have to be anywhere but here. Feeling very blessed to have experienced a magical morning yesterday with our little ones.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I currently have 2 sleeping children, dinner made, house semi picked up and a few minutes to myself...boy does it feel nice.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have so many posts in my drafts that I want to finish and post (including Emilia's birth story) can't there be more hours in the day?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We have hit a rough patch with Emilia in pretty much every aspect...sleeping, eating, overall behavior </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(I'll post more about it another time)</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> but we have taken her to the chiropractor and turns out the poor babe has been in pain. Her neck and upper back got pretty beat up during her extremely long and traumatic birth. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sienna is so excited for Halloween, its all she talks about....Friday cant come soon enough. Yesterday she picks up her costume and says "thank you for my costume mommy, its so cool"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm so thankful for good friends & neighbors, the other day I mentioned to my neighbor that I need to get working on Siennas costume but don't know where to even begin as its just a pile of fabric....the next day, she's at my door with her sewing machine in hand....2 hours later....Sienna's mermaid costume is done.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm always amazed when I meet women shorter than me, at 4'11 its quite rare that I get to look down not up when speaking to someone other than a child. Who knew? ;) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have started Christmas shopping this week, I refuse to go when everyone goes & deal with lines...crowds and just pure maddmadnes soo I have been slowing getting it done now. Sienna requested that Santa brings her a doll that "eats and poops" I should just hand her Emilia, thats pretty much all she does these days.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The show "Lost" blows all shows out of the water in my opinion (yeah I know I'm about 10 years late watching it) but we started just last month and are at the last season already...its a good thing I didnt watch when it was new and on TV because I wouldnt be able to handle waiting a week to see what happens next after each episode ends...Thanks to netflix we don't have to and some nights watch till we cant keep our eyes open anymore.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">THREE years ago today we were saying "I Do". </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21.5599994659424px;">Our wedding was a pain in the butt to plan. We had to do everything by email...half of the things were screwed up on the big day, but when it came time to walk down the aisle, none of that stuff mattered to me. Mixed up flowers, wrong color cake, ruined veil. The only important thing was I was marrying my best friend. </span></span></div>

I</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"> love raising babies with you, our dance offs, how you can fix anything, road-tripping with you, how you can never find anything even when its in front of your face :) </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Thank you for this life we share together, for your unconditional support and for being the best husband & Daddy to our girls.</span></span><br />

<div style="line-height: 27px;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It’s so true what they say about time with kids. The days feel long but the weeks and months fly by. This feels like the longest/shortest month ever.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 27px;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 27px;">I’ll be honest, it’s not the newborn that’s exhausting me, it’s her very active 2.5 year old sister. I seriously look at people who work with toddlers for a living and wonder what is in their genetic makeup that I’m missing. Toddlers (well at least my toddler) are on the go constantly. I used to have a second to breath when she took naps but once we transitioned her into a toddler bed....naps went bye-bye along with the crib. I wouldnt complain for a second if she slept in past 7:30 at least....but its almost a joke referring to 7:30 as sleeping in.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 27px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 27px;">Emilia has been a good baby for the most part. She's a very light sleeper and its just really difficult to settle her down, especially at night...it takes a lot of patience for this exhausted mama...she also has reflux, so its a non stop spit up fest around here. I must go through at least 5 shirts a day. Cutting out dairy helps, but lordy is it hard to eliminate it completely.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 27px;">Sienna is handling her role as big sister much better than we anticipated, there is no jealousy at all (sigh of relief)....just sweet lovin on her baby sis all day. If Em is crying and I walk over to her to give her the paci, Sienna runs ahead of me and says "no let me do it mommy" I cant wait for Em to be old enough to love her back.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 27px;">At her 1 month appt she was an ounce shy of 10 lbs</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 27px;">I'm not used to having a chubby baby, her rolls just make me giggle.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 27px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She loves to be worn, held all day, and have her fuzzy head rubbed. Her eyes are looking dark green. She’s been generous with her smiles this week which make my heart happy. She might be cute and tiny, but the she grunts, groans and farts like an old man, it makes Sienna laugh and say things like "that was nasty baby emmie" and of course giggles follow.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 27px;">It’s been almost three weeks since Emilias arrival and we are all learning how to transition to being a family of four. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 27px; text-align: start;">There are so many things about the newborn stage that I have forgotten…mostly how floppy newborns are and how heart wrenching it is to hear a newborn cry when you’re driving and you can’t do anything about it...but </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 27px;">he most difficult thing for me honestly is just when both girls need me at the same time–and newborns nurse pretty much around the clock, so that leaves very little time for me to be with Sienna one on one. She's become even more of a daddys girl ... she'll say things like this to me: </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 27px;">"no mommy I don't want to you help me I want daddy to" or "I dont want you to give me lunch, daddy will give it to me" </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 27px;">(Id be lying if I said it didnt hurt a bit)</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 27px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Em has been a mellow baby so far, she spits up constantly giving me tons of extra laundry but makes up for it sleeping 4-5 hour stretches at night.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since coming home from the hospital this weekend, things have been a little rough. My recovery has been harder this time...even though I usually hear the opposite. The pain is a rollercoaster of highs and lows depending on when I take my medication. I feel like it wasn't as bad the first time around with Sienna, but then again maybe that was just my memory doing me a favor. I didn't really feel ready to come home from the hospital on the 3rd day but I desperately wanted to be home with Sienna and relieve our friends who were staying with her, though they assured us it wasn't a problem and they would stay with her as long as we needed.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I am really sore & still have a lot of pain where my incision was, which makes it so hard to do a lot of things, mostly picking the baby up a million times in the middle of the night, getting in and out of bed...even laughing hurts. Thankfully Dan is able to work from home as long as I need him to. The day after we came home from the hospital, Sienna ran a fever 0f 104 which is the highest she's ever had and it scared the heck out of us...no other symptoms, she ate fine and acted fine but fever is something I dont mess around with, especailly with a newborn in the house... so Dan took her to Urgent Care since Sat night. They couldn't really determine what was wrong, but thankfully it went away the next day.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Despite our unsuccessful breastfeeding experience with Sienna, things are going surprisingly well this time....*knock on wood* I didn't even buy bottles this time, not even letting myself think I may need them....exclusive pumping is no picnic and I don't know if I would have been able to handle doing it again.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sienna at first acted shy when she met her baby sister, and with how much we tried to prepare her prior to her being born about being gentle....she wound up being afraid to even touch her at first which was pretty entertaining I have to say, she would only touch her toes with maybe one finger and was so unsure about holding her.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Something has been happening to my child as shes beeen inching closer to two and a half..slowly but surely, this little two-nager has turned into quite a sassy little thing. Sometimes it's funny, and cute...sometimes it is absolutely shocking (like this past weekend, when she tried to put ME in a timeout, because I raised my voice at her. Yes, my two year old told me to go on timeout, and not to get up until she said I could...really?!?) and sometimes it is just plain exasperating, like when she sasses us if she gets mad or frustrated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her answer to everything shes told she cant have is: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"But I want it" </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(in a whiny voice may I add)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I remember people warned me of this...how girls could be quite a handful...I just thought we had two, or four, or thirteen more years before we had to deal with the sass! I can tell you this...it's a lesson in patience. I always thought I was a pretty patient person...I have now learned that I have a lot to work on in that department. I love her fiery spirit. She reminds me so much of her daddy...that passion and fire was one of the things I fell in love with him for. But just like her daddy, her fiery spirit takes a bit of patience to handle. And I know, once she grows up, I'm going to look back on this time, and realize that this little girl's sass was another life lesson...my lesson in patience.</span><br />
