Day to day

 Emily is part cat. photo proof. But her personality matches. She will like you if she wants to.

I finally broke down and accepted a new kindle the kids got me for my birthday, and made sure it was encased in sparkly purple!

 More hair the girls really liked.

 Chance, in his older years is so well behaved in pubic. He's a million times easier than Emily at this stage! At the vet, she looks like the  animal!

 What happens when you sneeze after applying mascara.

 Our girls at their Primary Program. They all did a great job singing and saying their part. (Jane didn't speak this year cause our Primary is huge!) I just love these girls and their love of the Gospel. They truly love learning about Jesus.
 Emily is so temperamental! She goes from screaming and throwing a fit to cute and happy. Of course eating M&M's makes me happy too, so that could be part of the her smile. 

Finishing October

 My birthday was happening! Jon helped plan a surprise girls night at one of my friend's houses. He provided a cake, large enough to feed an army--and super adorable of him! I came home from my party to this sight--the girls had asked Jon to have a sleepover with them on the toy room floor, and of course he gave in! It was adorable seeing them all crashed out together! 

 We did lots of hair. (Ok that happens every month! But this time I documented some.) Jane had me 'invent' Panda Hair (As she calls it). And Kate experimented with mine. I really should have gone to beauty school-it would have come in handy with 4 daughters!

 Kate found her first go at Mac and Cheese tricky. It practically disintegrated! She is a pro a grilled cheese, and I have no doubt her next go at mac will be successful!

Then Jane- she is always keeping us laughing. After throwing trash in the can with no bag (a big no at our house) she had to get it out. But somehow watching her do it was hysterical. The can ended up on the ground and the crawled in. Goofy girl.

Halloween 2019

 Halloween 2019 was a true test of my Mom skills! I got all kids ready for trick or treating at the park by myself. We had 2 characters from Disney's Descendants, Uma and Audrey. Then Jane was Woody, and Emily a 101 dalmatian. We walked the park trail for goodies. Then we did the ward Trick or treating, where this year we decorated classroom doors due to rain. My girls had enough candy to last till next October. I loved watching my oldest two girls feeling beautiful. And their wigs made it comical---scratching them and moving them around to look wonky. Jane was possibly the most hilarious with her talk of Woody's. She would tell everyone who gave her candy that she was Woody.

SCHOOL PICTURES

4th grade, 2nd grade, and PreK! 

Fall is my favorite

 Mom firsts- blow drying the school's library book that was attacked by a leaky water bottle.

Then Kate started labeling food in the fridge like a college student.

 We spent lots of time playing piano Kate and Abby are both working really hard to learn this skill.

 I took a sad amount of cold medicine to stay alive!

 We we to an outdoor showing of Hocus Pocus, and our girls fell in love with the movie! I mostly loved the sunset!

 For my birthday I got spoiled!! I got TREES!! 5 pretty color changing leafy trees, and 2 baby apple trees. Jon even planted them in the rain for me. I can't wait to watch them grow!

Emily loves to cuddle with Chance-- and any tablet she can get her hands on. And her next favorite is daddy. She just adores her Dad.

Simply September

 Emily has started 'helping' unload the dishwasher. She lines it all up on the counters.

 Family favorite outing, dinner and ice cream at Zestos. Always a sticky, sprinkled, fun mess!

 Movie night with my construction sisters! Love being close to these 2!! Pretty sure this was for Downton Abbey movie.

 Emily is a fierce dog lover, eater, and mess maker.


I also started each girl's baby box. Hopefully I can keep track of it!!!!! And their scrapbooks--that's another work in progress! It's so hard to keep track of!

Summery September

 Jon worked hard to edge and fill the playground with mulch. And he got a new truck, his last one sadly died. It was a tragic smoky engine death. But to ease our pain the girls and I took the new truck out for a joy ride.

 So my fit bit was found smeared with ice cream--ultimate fat kid problem. I'm working on being healthier, but it is slow going. But I did get out and run a funny 5k, it was full of bouncy obstacles.

 Jon making one of the girls favorite funny faces. And I was gifted the best hat!

 The infamous green chair from my Great Grandma was finally replaced. It was with us for years, since before we even had kids!! But it was getting super worn and smelly. So we got a new one!

 Abby and I both had a great day!!! She got a 100 on her spelling test! So proud of her hard work. And I found purple M&M's!
 The dogs are butt heads....haha. I really like the 2 of them when they sleep. And poor Chance, is looking so old.

 Emily's favorite place to play. She removes all the shoes and sits in the box. She thinks she super cute.

A sick Jane fell asleep on me. I didn't want to wake her---poor thing really needed the sleep, but man my leg fell asleep...and keeping still was excruciating!!
