Total Girl

I've adjusted my work schedule for a few weeks, I'm working 7am-3:30pm so I can take Emma on outings after nap.

Yesterday we spent about an hour at KMart and we didnt buy a thing!

-First we tried on shoes for about 25mins. She LOVES putting on other peoples' shoes.
-Then we explored the 4 isles of toys.
-Then we found a twirling sunglass stand full of kid sunglasses. She spent a good 20mins just trying on glasses and looking at herself in the mirror.
-And finally, the jewelry section. We tried on all kinds of bracelets and necklaces.

She's only 2 and already likes to shop like her mama.


P.S. While holding baby Mo yesterday(or should I say baby Peter), he had a little spit-up... then he coughed and it all went in my mouth.

Happy Birthday Mo-Mo

Phil and I have had a fun full last 4days. We had Emmers for 3nights while mama and dada were a tiny bit busy giving birth to Mo...

Emma is a silly silly girl that LOVES Beyonce. Hard to get her to sing it full out. We prettymuch have the music video on replay all day.

Emma is talking so much. When she says a word wrong I have a hard time correcting her because its so darn cute.

Every time Emma comes over she ALWAYS wants to call Betsy.

Big Girl Emma loves her new princess boots and Nu-Nu's fake glasses.

Mo was very thoughtful and thought he would come in the early afternoon on Sunday. Perfect timing for Emma's nap. We got to wait in the waiting room with Bumpa, Bill, baby Elly, Uncle Branen, Ki-Ki and Ruby.
We were so so EXCITED! It was a good day.
Ruby took Emma so Phil and I could visit P&J in the delivery room. Emma would have gotten confused and sad to see mama in a bed. When it was my turn to hold mr. man I couldnt hold back the tears. I had to take a min. ha ha ha

Our new baby friend! We love love him!
I'm excited for Mo to wrestle Jericho and go on a dump truck ride with Bill... you know, boy things!Nu-Nu needs to buy more boy toys! I've been surrounded by girls!!!

Le plat du jour

You might have read on Ruby's blog, click here, that she has been inspired by Julie & Julia and received 2 Julia Child cookbooks for Christmas. Monday she cooked an amazing tuna in a tomato white wine sauce and last night she made the BEST roast chicken with scalloped potatoes and mushroom port sauce. THE BEST. The chicken was moist and succulent...for some reason I hate the word "moist", ha ha ha! She had to baste that sucker every 10mins, seriously! She was cooking for HOURS yesterday.

Our house and our friends are blessed by Ruby's inspiration! I'm so thankful to be her taste tester! Praise God for Julia Child and Ruby! click here

Je vous remercie beaucoup, vous êtes très gentil et vous êtes très jolie.

Hey, I took 3 years of french in high school and I dont remember a darn thing!

Exciting News on the Kelley/Kiker Farm

We're off to the State Fair!

Happy Birthday Jenny!

For Christmas Lauren (laurenhurtphotography.com) and I organized a maternity photo shoot forBeautiful Pregnant Jenn.

The Photo Shoot happened to fall on the day of her birthday and Casey Hurt's last show. Big fun day.

Peter took Emma out while we pampered Jenn.
We had Coffee Culture americanos, virgin memosas, a fruit&cheese tray and floweres to set the mood.

I hired a professional to come do Jenn's makeup. Thanks for coming on such short notice Caylan!
After the shoot Emma saw ALL the makeup and wanted to play. Lucky me!
She loves being girly!

We took a few hours to relax then headed to a special bday Dinner for Jenn. Our accountability group took her out to Bar 101 for a delicious dinner! Their new 'spoon bread' is so so good. Go try it, especially if you love bacon!

After dinner Jenn went to bed and the rest of us went to Cloud 9 for Casey Hurt's last show.

I'm going to miss the heck out of these humans but I'm so excited for their new Hollywood Adventures!

Best of Luck Mr. & Mrs. Hurt!
