Another Curly Haired Cutie, A Handy Hairdresser, and 2 Magnificent Mommy's!

I know I've blogged about Adi's hair being naturally curly before, but I'm not sure if I showed you all that the bouncing little spirals were passed on to sweet little Emi too. She bathes at night and sleeps on her hair so the next day it's usually just wavy, but here is a glimpse of those sweet little tendrils on that sweet little face that I love so much!(when she's not sick...but that's a different story!)

The girls both got baby dolls and strollers for Christmas because they love being Mommy's SO much! When we got home from Boise on Saturday night Emi wanted to sit on the counter and eat some marshmallows from the Marshmallow Mattie bag. Whatever. I was tired and exhausted, and mostly just happy to see her happy(I'll just say it wasn't a pleasant last 2 days because she was sick...but again, that's a different story, and WAY too long to share here). Anyway, she couldn't eat cereal without sharing with baby, and I just thought it was so cute how she held her little dolly in her arms while she ate. She also fed baby. She likes marshmallows too I suppose.

Last night after bath's right as we were sitting down for scripture study Adelynn sattled up next to me and proceeded to lift up her nightgown. I asked her what she was doing, and she said that baby duck was so hungry she had to feed him. So the entire time we read scriptures Adi fed baby. Then while we were in the middle she lowered her shirt and proceeded to life up the other side. She said "I have to switch sides now." hahah! Then when we knelt down for prayers she said it was baby ducks turn. Since she is his mama she helped him kneel down and then did the prompting. It went like this "Say Dear Heavenly Father....(pause)...Say Dear Heavenly Father....(as if she's waiting for him to respond! hehe) And then she proceeded in helping baby duck give a very nice prayer with sufficient pauses for baby to respond. Aww, what a good mommy she is!
Not this last weekend, but the weekend before I went to Boise, my Mom and Dad came over to pick me up and take me back with them. My diddy-boo helped fix our hot water heater while he was here, and it was my Ma's birthday, so we had an adult only dinner(thanks bec, I love ya!) at the Olive Garden to celebrate! YUM! I know it's boring, but I did the soup salad and breadsticks because they are just too delish! Anyway, that weekend Adi was so excited to see family. She just loves all of our family all around. We are lucky that way. While they were here she put on a show for us. (I didn't take pictures because I was too busy enjoying my time, and I spaced it, but it's good to write down for memory). Anyway, she got all dressed up fancy and got a tall little stool out and sang a great song she made up about giants and fairies and who knows what else, and she danced for me and Gayle and Grandma. We clapped and then she said "goodnight everyone, have a goodnight!" Then she made me get up on the stool and sing "Twinkle Twinkle" for everyone. Then Gayle had to do "I'm a little Teapot" and Grandma had to do "Mary Had a Little Lamb." It was such a hoot watching all of us adults up there dancing and singing for each other. It was pretty cute of her to do. She told us we were all wonderful and beautiful. Too sweet. Then later she wanted to cut me and Gayles hair. I remembered to get pictures of this...hahah! Anyway, after she finished "cutting" our hair, she styled it. Gayle got the best do, so I'll share some of those pics!

(Do you see how cute Adi's new haircut is?!)


Also while my mom was here we did some crafting. I love crafting, and it's especially fun with my sisters and mom. It's not finished, but I got started on this family night board. I did vinyl lettering for the words, a metal plate, and then mod podged some cute paper onto some letters and then attached magnets. Pretty cute, simple, and easy. A perfect project for me. And to go along with this, I'll pass on this site that another friend of mine shared earlier. It's a year's worth of FHE's that go along with the 2010 primary theme. I'm sure a lot of you have seen this, but if not, download it here It's worth it!

(I hope the rest of our kids have 3 letter nicknames:) Oh well, at least there is only 2 more open spaces, not 8 or something!)
