NEW YEAR

 The kids were asking Zach and I to tell them stories of when they were born the other night, and to see their baby pictures. So I pulled up this old blog and they absolutely LOVED seeing the pictures and reading all the stories. It made me pretty regretful that I stopped writing on here so long ago. SOO here I am! Yes, I've skipped out on about three years of our life, but what matters is we are here now!

As I type,  Lea, Micah, and Emma are all in the bathtub together, oh and about 12 barbies and a big Lego boat too. I see more water on the floor than I do in the tub. This is the first time they have taken a bath together in a long long time. And after listening all the screaming and fighting, probably the last. :)
Meanwhile Jonah, is spying on me with a new spy kit he got for Christmas.

 Wow, sewing a doll is a lot harder than I thought. Really, it was hard. Maybe I'm just a slow learner, but I thought I could do this in like an hour, and it took me probably six hours after all my trial and error issues! Emma has been asking non stop fro me to sew her a dolly. I tried to tell her I din't know how, and then she would reply with, "Well, I can teach you mommy! It's easy!" Finally, after the 100th time of her asking about it, we drove to the craft store and bought some fabric.

 I had no pattern, just a few pictures of dolls I saw on pinterest and tried to model her hair and face after that. Probably would be much easier if I had used a pattern. Sorry, but I took a lot of pictures because I am just so so happy after all the work, ripping stitches out, breaking my sewing machine multiple times, and the hours it took to fix it all, Miss Daisy (Emma named her that) is finally finished! Not perfect, but hey it's my first hand made doll ever so I'll take it!

 I can't believe how excited Emma is about her, and she has been playing with Miss Daisy non stop, giving her naps, taking her to Disney land, brushing her "hair" Hahahaha it's seriously adorable. Ah! Girls are just so fun! I was amazed at how patient Emma was during the whole process, and how content she was to just sit and watch me sew every detail!

 Wish I took a picture of the back of Daisy, which is the cutest. Oh well.

 Nothing sweeter than this. Happy it's finished, hoping my next doll is a lot easier, and quicker!
