It gets harder and harder with each kid to find the time to blog! Once again, I want to thank our favorite photographer, Kaity Fisher, for capturing these sweet moments. You'll see that I had a hard time choosing favorites to post ;)<br />

The night before Charlie was born, I was up for several hours with painful, consistent contractions. They went on about every 10-15 minutes for over 3 hours and then they stopped completely. That morning, Wednesday, October 25th, I went to the doctor for my 39 week appointment (I was 39 weeks, 2 days). My blood pressure was high at my appointment. They checked it 3 times with 3 different people and each time it was high. My doctor asked where my kids and husband were and then said, "let's have a baby today." She sent me next door to the hospital and I called Grant to meet me there and my mom to tell her she'd be keeping the girls! Thankfully, I already had my hospital bag in the car and my mom had the girls' overnight bag just in case. It was a little bittersweet this time because we were at a different hospital. Our other girls were not only born in the same hospital, but in the same room at that hospital! My doctor's office was relocated, so this time I got to deliver at a brand new hospital that just opened this year. It was really nice! We got everything situated and by 10:45 they started me on the pitocin.<br />

This pregnancy, while still pretty easy comparatively, was the most difficult for me of the 3 so far, so I don't know why I expected the delivery to go just like the other two. It was definitely my hardest delivery! With my first two girls, other than the way I went into labor, the actual labor itself followed pretty much the exact same pattern. Usually I wait a while to get the epidural, so that's what I planned to do this time. Unfortunately, things progressed a lot faster this time, so by the time I was able to ask for the epidural and then wait to get it, I was in A LOT of pain and the contractions were coming very close together. I got the epidural around 1:40. We waited about 20 minutes for it to kick in and then the nurse inserted the catheter and measured me. While it was not painful, I could feel the catheter (TMI?), so I knew the epidural wasn't fully in effect yet. The nurse said I was 7 cm dilated. She turned to call my doctor to inform her and I started to feel an intense amount of pressure and an urge to push. I had never felt that with my other 2 because of the epidural. I told the nurse and she checked me again and said, "you're complete!" She rushed the nurses in and my doctor ran over. The doctor barely had time to get her robe on once she got there! Charlotte was born at 2:12 pm. I could feel everything that was happening during the delivery, but thankfully the epidural had kicked in enough that it was not too painful! I think next time we'll get the epidural right away ;) The nurse said I barely missed the mark of having a precipitous labor, which is labor under 3 hours.<br />

We had an hour of skin to skin time and then my parents brought the girls up to meet her. They were so excited! Emily told my parents on the way up that she was so happy she could cry, and then when she was holding Charlotte for the first time she teared up. It was such a precious moment that I'll never forget! Addie has done so much better than I expected. I was worried she would be angry about losing some mommy attention, but she's actually done the opposite and has become more independent (though she's still good for mommy snuggles pretty often).<br />

The recovery was a lot harder for me this time around. We also had a bit of an adjustment getting used to 3 kids and getting to know Charlotte and her wants and needs, but we are so grateful that she's here! I already don't know how we ever lived without her! We are all so in love with this precious girl!<br />

Two weeks ago, our Emily turned FIVE and I still can't believe it. For some reason five has always been the daunting number for me. Those with older kids might think it sounds silly, but for me five was the age where they stopped being little and turned into a big kid. Now that I have a five year old I know that she still is little comparatively, and she hasn't even started elementary school yet, but I still can't believe how fast time is going and I wish it would SLOW DOWN!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year Emily requested a princess party. I was a little surprised because she never wants to watch any of the princess movies (except Mulan sometimes), but she does like playing with her disney princess barbie dolls and doing dress up, so maybe that's where it came from. At the last minute (two days before her party), we threw together this adorable princess photoshoot. Thanks to my sister-in-law, Shianne, for doing the girls' hair, and to our fabulous photographer Kaity, who is always so willing to help us and turn out a magical shoot, even last minute!! I am SO glad we did this and I think the girls will love having these cute pictures as they grow up!</div>

Our Emily is a girly girl to the core. She will still tell you that her favorite colors are "pink, purple, and sparkle," and she LOVES dancing and singing! Her new thing is gymnastics, which she loves, but she still wants to try "all the sports" someday, so we'll see what's in store next. She also loves dress up, makeup, painting nails, craft projects, and is currently obsessed with all things My Little Pony. We can't wait to see the movie this weekend!!</div>

Emily is very friendly and very bright. She still surprises me with her courage because I was so shy at her age and she has no problem doing many things that would've given me anxiety! She is pretty fearless when it comes to trying new things (unless it's food related). If you ask her what she's scared of, she will say that she's "brave of everything." She learns things pretty easily and sometimes surprises me with her quick math skills. Our main focus with her in PreK is getting her to pay attention!! She's lucky that she's so smart. I will be watching her and it doesn't seem like she's focusing, but then when I ask her about it later, she almost always knows the answer! </div>

Emily is a loving daughter and sister. She's always willing to give snuggles when asked and says the sweetest things. She is such a good sister to Addie and loves teaching her new things (though they still have their fair share of fighting). She LOVES babies so I can't wait to see how she interacts with our new little one. She's become very helpful lately. She likes to get herself dressed and sometimes will get Addie dressed as well. This usually means that Addie ends up in Emily's clothes because she can't reach the things in Addie's closet, but it's the thought that counts, right? She can also buckle and unbuckle herself from her car seat now and will sometimes unbuckle Addie to be helpful. I'm so grateful for her and her sweet spirit!</div>

She is still itty bitty! At her 5 year checkup, she was in the 5th percentile for height and 3rd for weight!! The doctor said she's still following her curve, though, so she's not worried. I don't think it will be too long before Addie catches up to her. Emily keeps telling Addie "I will always be bigger than you," and we have to remind her of the difference between older and bigger. But for as small as she is, she has a BIG personality and doesn't let her petite stature hold her back from anything!</div>

We started with a short trip to Oklahoma for a family reunion with my mom's side of the family. Grant wasn't able to make it, so the girls and I rode up with my parents. We had a great time with family!<br />

Addie was potty trained in August and she did awesome! She got a family ice cream date for filling out her potty chart and she's now been upgraded to a "big girl" (toddler) bed. It's been so nice for me to have a break from diapers before the new baby comes! Emily didn't potty train until after Addie was born so we had 2 in diapers for a while.</div>

I've already mentioned about Grant's birthday, but my brother, Danny, also turned 30 at the beginning of September. We decided to have a joint little party for the 2 of them midway through the month. It was complete with all of their favorite snacks and treats from growing up.</div>

The month ended with hurricane harvey hitting. Thankfully we all stayed safe and dry. We did stay at my parents' house for several days just because we wanted to make sure we didn't get stuck with no power if we were to lose it. My siblings all stayed there too so we had everyone under one roof for awhile. It was a nice way to ride out the storm.</div>

July 1st was on a Saturday this year, so our month started out with a trip to Home Depot for their project of the month. It was a bug catcher and Emily loved it!</div>

June was more of a laid back month, but we did have a fun trip to San Antonio at the end. Here's some of what we were up to in June:<br />
<br />
-My oldest sister's two youngest kids came to visit for a few weeks while she and her husband went to pick up my oldest nephew from his mission in Germany. The girls had fun playing with their cousins!<br />

-We went with my parents and most of my siblings' families on a trip to San Antonio. We hit up the riverwalk, alamo, and sea world (and some of the adults went to six flags one day). We stayed at one of my favorite resorts that I remember going to growing up. It has an awesome lazy river that we spent a lot of time in, as well as a big water slide that Emily loved! They also have s'mores each night and a movie on the lawn. We had such a great time and wish we could go back already!</div>

I need to preface the pictures by saying we had a little mishap with the actual reveal. We accidentally threw the ball a little too far away so the big burst didn't make it into the pictures. And the dog ran in right as it happened! It is what it is ;) Scroll through the pics to find out what we're having!<br />

I looked back and realized that I have FOUR holidays that I have not blogged about! Not to mention all of the other stuff in between. But that will have to wait until another day because for now I'm just getting the holiday stuff up here ;)<br />

VALENTINE'S DAY<br />
<br />
The girls woke up to the traditional heart attacks on their doors and valentine's buckets. We had a special breakfast, a valentine party at preschool, and heart shaped pizza for dinner.<br />

ST PATRICK'S DAY</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We didn't go all out for St. Patrick's Day this year, even though it's one of my favorites. It was over spring break, so we did a little bit of a celebration at preschool the week before. We did make some themed treats on the actual day, but I only got pictures of one of them. I had a festive dinner planned, but we decided to go out to eat and get ice cream instead ;) It was just as fun!</div>

EASTER</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We LOVE Easter!! I'm so glad it was later this year so we could spend more time celebrating it! We decorated eggs, had two Easter egg hunts (one was a friend's birthday party and the other was just the cousins on Easter Sunday), made lots of Easter treats, and spent a lot of time learning about Christ and His atonement and resurrection. Emily seems to get it a little more each year and enjoyed teaching Addie all about it!</div>

^this was a really fun tradition we started this year. It's called The Easter Story Egg. It's a nesting egg that you start on Palm Sunday and every day you open another egg and read a poem that goes along with it. We loved it! The girls really looked forward to opening the egg each day.</div>

*I would also recommend the Easter creche. I didn't get a picture this year, but it's basically like a nativity for Easter. We love having some Easter decor that isn't all bunny-themed and reminds the girls why we celebrate Easter!</div>

I had a fabulous Mother's Day! Grant and the girls spoiled me with breakfast in bed and I didn't have to lift a finger all day! I'm one lucky momma! These girls can definitely make life crazy sometimes, but man am I glad that I get to be their mom. There's nothing better!</div>

She has 2 1/2 year old twin boys and is expecting a GIRL at the end of this month! Fleming LOVES the color purple and has always looked forward to having a girl that she can deck out in purple. You should see her cute purple nursery ;) So when it came time to throw her baby shower, it was obvious what the theme would be! We had a great time with lots of friends!<div>

We were able to go to our neighborhood center again this year to see Santa. It's my favorite because the Santa there is so sweet and tender, and we don't have to pay anything to make our kids cry!! Emily actually did really well this year. She was cautious, but willing to go through it. Addie was terrified :( Beforehand, Emily was nervous and I asked her how Santa would know what to get her if she didn't go and she said, "I'll just let Santa get me whatever he thinks would be good." Such a sweetie!</div>

Lastly, we had a fun New Year's Eve celebration, complete with fondue, bubbly, and fireworks! Emily was actually brave enough to watch them from outside this year! She had an internal struggle when it came time to do sparklers, though... she wanted to do them so badly, but she was so terrified! When she finally mustered up the courage to do it, she was laughing through tears!</div>

His sister, Amanda, and her family were kind enough to host and it was wonderful! Some of his other family members were able to come out as well, so we were happy to get to spend some time with the Zinns!<br />

-We did A LOT of trick-or-treating this year! First, we went to my dad's office and got candy from all of his coworkers. It was so cute-- they really did an awesome job making it fun for the kids! Then our church had a trunk-or-treat with a chili cook-off that was a lot of fun. And of course we went trick-or-treating again on Halloween night. We had different costumes for each event and the girls had a blast!</div>

About halfway through, Addie decided she didn't want to take pictures without me. I wasn't planning on taking pictures with the girls, but now that I did, I'm so grateful to have these shots of me and my girls together!</div>

I love it! It started back at the beginning of the year when she first watched The Incredibles and then we were watching either that or Big Hero 6 every day for weeks! I kind of encouraged her passion to continue because I knew a girly superhero party would be adorable! And it was ;)<br />
<br />
Now, I have to brag on our photographer really quick before I show all the awesome pictures. Kaity Fisher (who takes all our family photos) offered to take pictures of the party a couple months beforehand. Her due date was a week before so I didn't expect that it would actually work out. She still hadn't had her baby when the party came so she came and took pictures for us when she was 41 weeks pregnant! She had her beautiful baby girl 2 days later ;) We're so grateful to her for these awesome shots! Mine would not have turned out nearly as cute!<br />

We invited all of Emily's preschool friends to the party (and they all happen to be girls this year, so we were able to make it extra girly). As the girls came in, they each got a cape (made by my mom) and a chance to go in the telephone booth. Then they all made their own masks while they waited for everyone to arrive.</div>

Then we headed outside for an obstacle course (or "superhero training"). Emily put Grant in charge of the obstacle course and he definitely delivered! At the end, they did a punch board, where they drew a number corresponding with a bag. Each bag had a little superhero doll in it for the girls to keep :)</div>

This year, there was a definite difference between summer and the start of the school year. We now have things in our plans almost every morning from preschool to dance classes to music classes, etc. We're so busy! But we're having a lot of fun too! We love getting out and doing fun things with our friends :)<br />
<br />
The first to start up was ballet. Emily is loving it! They get to wear a different princess tutu each week and it just kills me seeing them dance around in them! So cute!<br />

Our ward had a fun party where we raced goldfish in rain gutters. Our fish unfortunately didn't make it past the first heat, but Emily really enjoyed watching the races. Addie was content to just sit and eat watermelon the whole time.</div>

She, on the other hand, couldn't be more excited. She thinks she can do anything now that she's four. She keeps saying, "this is pretty hard, but I can do it because I'm 4 now." I love her new found confidence ;) And we're milking it for all it's worth. We remind her, "now that you're 4, you should be able to try everything on your plate," etc. Ha!<br />
<br />
Now about this 4 year old... She's sweet, silly, sassy, spunky, smart, and spirited! She loves everything having to do with superheroes and princesses, loves to dance, play with dolls, dress ups, and stickers, and would probably watch kids youtube all day if I let her (don't worry... she only gets it for a few minutes each morning)! She does not like fire, eating foods that are even a little bit hot (or eating most foods in general), getting her face wet, or shots. She is incredibly thoughtful and loving toward her sister and is usually very patient with her. She's going through a pretty whiny phase right now, but other than that she's an all around sweetheart and totally fun to be around! We love her to death!<br />

Last Tuesday, Emily woke up to breakfast in bed, 4 balloons, and presents! We had preschool on her birthday so we got to celebrate with treats there and then I took her for a surprise mommy/daughter date to get manicures and pedicures. She LOVED it and asked if we could go back for her next birthday. I see a new tradition in the future! For her birthday dinner she chose chick-fil-a, her favorite! It was a perfect day!</div>

We've been in our home for almost 4 years and we've been gradually working on projects along the way. There's still a lot we'd like to do in the future (our back patio is next on our list!), but we've had a lot of fun with some recent DIYs :)<br />
<br />
Last summer (2015) we tackled our kitchen. Our kitchen was very dark with black granite and brown cabinets. While I would've loved to have changed both, we settled on painting the cabinets white. The project took way longer than we anticipated, but I'm very happy with how it's lightened up our kitchen. I still hope to change the backsplash someday, too ;)<br />
<br />
Here's the before:<br />

Onto the next project... Some of you may remember last year, when I helped my mom do a wood treatment on her HUGE living room wall. It turned out amazing!</div>

So, as "payment" for helping her with this big project, my mom gave us the leftover wood that she had. Our wall was much smaller, so it took a lot less wood and work to get it done. We installed our wood wall in our study this spring. It's one of my favorite things we've done to this house so far! I love it!!</div>

My big project of the summer was getting everything ready to teach preschool this fall. With that, it meant converting our playroom to a preschool room. I was a little heartbroken when we had to say goodbye to our love sac and couch, but I knew we needed the space. And they're hanging out safely at my parents' house, so maybe we'll have them back someday :) After a few ikea trips, our preschool/playroom combo was ready! The preschool kids are all loving it!</div>

So, once again, I have a ton of photos to dump onto the blog ;)<br />
We had an awesome summer full of playing, relaxing, and swimming at least 3 times a week ;) It was perfect!<br />
<br />
When we got back from our trip to Fort Wayne, Emily started in swim lessons. I thought she would love it because she swims all the time and does so well with her puddle jumper... I was wrong :( She was so excited the first day, but as soon as she found out she would have to actually go under water her attitude changed. She cried day 2 through day 5 through the entire lesson! It was only an 8 day class, so she cried for most of it! I was proud of her though, because she never fought the teacher and never ran out of the pool to me. She just kept saying, "I don't want to go under water today!" But she still did it and for the last 3 days she got up her courage to get through it without crying! It was one of the hardest things I've had to do as a parent so far-- seeing her go through something that was so scary for her, but I really am so proud of her for never giving up! And thanks to Ms. Lori for being so patient with her!!<br />

Midway through the summer, my oldest sister came into town with her family. Her youngest daughter is only 2 years older than Emily so they have fun playing together. The kids decorated cupcakes, went on a trip to build-a-bear and had a lot of fun playing in the rain!</div>

We rarely get to go out with just the adults in the family because someone's always babysitting the kids. We made an exception while Wicked was in town and all went out together. We went to eat at Brennan's and then they took us by bus to the theater. We were the first ones on the bus, and we found that it was a party bus! My brothers had some fun practicing their pole dancing moves before more people arrived. It's the hardest I've laughed in a long time!! We had so much fun going out all together!</div>

On the last week of summer we had a vacation bible school with our church. This year it was Egypt themed, and I got to help run one of the shops. Emily was also old enough to participate in one of the families this year and she had a blast! I thought she might be worn out by the last day, but she loved every second of it! She was so sad that it wasn't going to continue after the week was over!</div>

Last month, we had a great trip to visit Grant's family in Fort Wayne. Most of Grant's siblings and their families met up at his mom's house for a little reunion. The men were able to tackle some projects around the house while the ladies assisted and entertained the kiddos. The little ones had so much fun getting to be with their cousins!</div>

We were able to meet up with my cousin at a cracker barrel one evening. We haven't seen each other in 15-20 years, but she happens to live in Fort Wayne so it was fun to be able to have a little reunion. Our kids are close in age (Addie and her twin boys are 1 day apart!) so it was a lot of fun for them too!</div>

On our last day we visited the Fort Wayne Zoo and had a fondue party after dinner. We had such a great trip and can't wait to see everyone again soon! Emily is always asking me if we can go to Grandma Barb's house again someday!</div>

She's growing up so fast! I felt like time went by so quickly with Emily, but it's going even faster with Addie! She's talking A LOT more than her sister was at her age. I think it's because she has an older sibling to keep up with ;) She can mimic most words that we say and is saying more words without prompting each day. It's so fun!<br />
Addie is still the snuggliest kid I've ever met. She always has to cuddle right after waking up and will come to me very frequently throughout the day to get in her snuggle fix. I will really be heartbroken when this stage ends :(<br />

While Addie still needs to get snuggles, she is pretty independent in many other ways. She sometimes likes to be held, but refuses to hold hands while walking. And she still loves to feed herself. She has a major sweet tooth and will be instant friends with anyone who offers her candy!</div>

I know I've mentioned her love of dress-up before, but she is really developing an OBSESSION with jewelry!! She loads on the bracelets and necklaces and wants to wear them all day. If you're wearing a necklace, she might try to take it from you. And like her sister before her, she doesn't like to leave the house without a headband and shoes ;)</div>

This summer, we've been living in the water! We go swimming several times a week and Addie is a huge fan! When I ask her if she wants to go swimming, she starts trying to take off her shirt and says, "off!" Then she leads me to where her swimsuit is so she can get ready. She loves playing on the big step at Nana's house and likes when she's in a float or someone's holding her to lay her head back in the water so she can listen to what it sounds like underwater.</div>

While Addie is still my sweet angel for the most part, she definitely knows how to get herself into trouble! She's always climbing on things and making messes! She's recently discovered how to pull hair and bite :( She doesn't do it because she's mad, but because she thinks it's hilarious. She'll come to me with huge wads of Emily's hair, while Emily's sitting behind her in tears. Poor thing! I need to discover how to put an end to it! </div>

My cousin got married in Springfield, so we all decided to go up together and make a vacation out of it. We stayed in Branson for the week and every day was jam packed with fun activities!<br />
<br />
We drove up on Saturday and Sunday, stopping in Oklahoma on Saturday night to visit with my grandparents. The girls did surprisingly well with the long car ride. Addie was fussy for about the last hour on Sunday, but other than that we really can't complain. We had a lot of fun getting to spend some time with Papa Joe and Jeanie :)<br />

our hotel had a really fun playground!</div>
<br />
<br />
On Monday (Memorial Day), it was only our family and my parents there so far, so we made the day all about Emily. We played putt putt in the morning (her first time) and then went to a fun spot for kids in the afternoon. There were kid carnival rides, go karts, bumper boats, etc. Emily was in heaven! She was just shy of the 36" she needed to be to ride everything, so Nana taught her how to subtly stand on her tiptoes when they measured her (shhh!). It worked like a charm! That evening, Fleming's family arrived and we all went out to eat at a fun diner where the waiters and waitresses take turns singing. They were really good! That night we put the girls down and Grant and I went with my dad to see an awesome illusionist show! So fun!<br />

Tuesday, we were supposed to spend the day on the lake, but there was a lot of rain in the forecast. We decided not to spend the money on the boat, but still risked it with zip lining. It ended up being great weather and we had so much fun zip lining! I'm not a super adventurous person, so it was never on my bucket list or anything, but I ended up having a blast and would definitely go again! That evening we went to the Dixie Stampede (my favorite part of Branson). It's a live dinner theater where they have amazing cowboy/girl racing and trick competitions, as well as dancing, more animals, and lumberjack competitions. We went 3 years ago, but had to take turns taking Emily out because she was too scared. This year she was entranced and asked me when she would get to be a cowgirl. Addie really enjoyed it too!<br />

Wednesday, the family split up for various activities. My parents and Grandma went to a show, Stevie and Shianne took my older nieces to some fun museums, and those of us with young kids went to "ride the ducks." It's a bus tour around Branson, and then the bus goes into the water and becomes a boat. The kids even got to take turns driving the boat while we were on the water. The girls enjoyed it for the most part, but it was a little long, so they started to get bored. Our tour guide was hilarious, so that helped it stay interesting for us! Then Grant and I took the girls to steak and shake for lunch and we all met up to see a play about Moses. It was at a theater that does a new bible story each year and puts on really elaborate productions. It was a lot of fun, but we did have to take turns with Addie in the family room. At least we could still see the show from there!<br />

Thursday was a more low key day. We went to another kids' fun spot with rides, and go karts. Emily was a champ at raising up onto her toes again so she could participate ;) After that, we went to get ice cream at Andy's and then just played and swam at our hotel. Some of us went to see a show that night. It was the Haygood family, 5 brothers and 1 sister. They all sang, danced, and played multiple musical instruments. We all loved it!<br />

On Friday, we drove up to Springfield and spent the day helping our cousin, Brittany, set up for our wedding! And then on Saturday we got to enjoy the wedding! It was beautiful. My Uncle Barry (Brittany's grandpa) officiated and he did a great job! The girls had a lot of fun dancing at the reception. They thought the dance floor was their stage! Right after the reception, we drove back to Oklahoma to stop in with my grandparents again, and then drove the rest of the way Sunday! It was an awesome trip, but as always, it went by way too fast and I'm sad that it's over! Can't wait for our next family vacation!!<br />

I cannot believe that we are already halfway through 2016! For Texas, this spring has brought rain, rain, and more rain! In April, my parents went on a trip to China for 2 1/2 weeks, so we held down the fort at their place and took care of their dog while they were gone. We were glad to be there when the first storms hit, because they have a generator that kicked on automatically, so while our house was out of power for most of the day, we were fine at my parents' house! The road in front of their house did flood though, so we were stuck there for half of the day. We were on vacation last week (another post to come about that), but Houston has continued to be hit with more rain and it's been crazy!<br />

A few weeks before my parents left for China, they got a new puppy! She's adorable and loving, but like any puppy, she's very hyper and likes to jump and chew. It's taken Emily a while to get used to her. Addie does great! The house sitting helped a lot with getting Emily more comfortable with her. The dog (Nala) is still learning and getting better, but I'm so glad my parents got her. She completes the picture on their beautiful property!</div>
