Ring Around The Rosies

My girl's playing. Oh sister love!! Can't wait till little Emmy is here!!

Applesauce Sadie

This is how you make a Sadie Belle happy:

Applesauce and Nilla Wafers.

Sunglasses, Spongebob, and a Brailler!

This is my daughter Sadie, she has new sunglasses

She looks really cute in them and knows it! This is my son Evan, he has no fashion sense!

But, he is cute and I love him. This is my daughter Makayla. She loves playing with her brailler and loves naming the parts. I am so impressed by how much she learns everyday!

I do have another son...but he is too busy soaking up the sunshine right now! My kids are growing up too fast!

For all of those who say Sadie looks like her daddy...

Me:

BAM! In your face. She looks like me without the totally giant lips!

Maternity Pictures

So I had my mom take maternity pictures of me this last weekend. I decided I wanted to do it a little earlier since I am about as big as I was at 33 weeks with Sadie right now! I got to do a few with James which I really loved and haven't really done before. I am 29 and a half weeks in these pictures!

Easter

Well Easter was full of Easter things. We dyed eggs with the kids at home on Friday. James Micheal loved playing with the dyes and vinegar and baking soda explosions are his new favorite science experiment.



On Saturday afternoon we went to my mom and dads and had a giant Easter egg hunt. Luckily, Uncle Brandon hid all the eggs for us since I didn't think I would do my best with the giant belly that looms on me these days. Liam and James Micheal sure had a blast and Sadie just wanted to eat her candy. Evan had fun finding all the ground eggs and Makayla loved finding the coin eggs because of the sound they made. We had a wonderful Ham Dinner, thanks to Callie...and lots of fun.






On Sunday we went up to Colville and went to church with James' parents. We came home and had yummy pizza and a bunch of desserts with extended family. I wasn't able to get pictures of Sunday but it was fun! The kids also got their Easter baskets on Sunday morning and lets just say chocolate was everywhere and I am sure there are still fingerprints all over my house! All in all it was a great Easter and a wonderful way to remember the resurrection of the Savior and what it means to us.

Evan Explains it All!

So I think Evan perfectly depicts how we have all been feeling around here with all the sick that has been going around our house....

Yeah...that sums it up!

Just a Comparison...

I thought you guys should see the difference in my fat levels from Sadie to Emily. It's pretty bad!

Sadie at 26 Weeks:

Emily at 26 weeks:

Yeah...it's pretty bad. Emily better not weigh 10 pounds!!

Emily being shy...

This is the only good 4D shot we got of Emily today. They had to check a few things just to be cautious. As soon as any medical professional reads our child history they automatically assume that everything could be wrong so they treat me a little different. Luckily, Emily looks great and even pouted when they jabbed her to make her move her hands off her face. She looks so much like Sadie, with a tad of Makayla, a perfect combo I would say. She has both her orbitals and lenses and her heart and brain looked wonderful, and yes, she is still a little girl! We love our Emily Camille so much already...I can't wait to meet her. On another note...I am measuring 10 weeks larger than I should. As in my uterus says I am 34 weeks preggers, not 25 weeks which I actually am. The doctor said he had never had that much of a growth difference, and said that there was really no reason for it and that all other fluids looked normal. He didn't seemed worried just super shocked. NO WONDER I have been such a mess,my body has been horrid to me this last couple weeks and now I know why, my body must be an overachiever, well at least Emmy has lots of room to grow! Here is her one good picture, I have a feeling she will be very reserved like Evan and Makayla were, she really seems to have the same disposition in utero....

Emmy's Crafts

I haven't been able to do as many things for Emmy, as I got to for Sadie, mostly because Sadie is here now, and she is nutters, so very few things get done and mostly at odd hours of the night! Here is a few of the projects I have done for her. I am still working on a knit and crochet blanket. They will take time, and probably wont be done until right before she is born. Here is a rug, name plaque,sewn blanket,and car seat canopy I made her.

Makayla Grace is 5!!!

I write this post with a heavy heart....I have another five year old. There is something about that age that just makes me realize their childhood is slipping through my fingers. Makayla has had a wonderful birthday celebration this weekend, which will continue till tomorrow. On Friday, Our buds, Russ and Emily came with their adorable daughter Mirian! On Saturday morning Grandma and Grandpa Divis came by to give Makayla presents. She got a beautiful blue dress, an awesome guitar/piano/drum electronic recorder, a sweet stuffed love bug, and some awesome candy. Saturday night we went to her favorite restaurant-Tomato Street! She got a special birthday brownie and ice cream. Her actual birthday was Sunday, she got sung to in Primary, a giant card from her class,and a candy bar voucher from the Bishop. We came home had some White Texas Sheet Cake (Yum), and sang her Happy Birthday. She gets to go to Grandma and Grandpa Macs tomorrow for cupcakes and pizza,and her preschool will celebrate her b-day tomorrow.

We decided not to make a big fuss and throw a huge party, because she is not a big party person. She is low key and quiet in those situations and doesn't act like herself very much.

Here is a picture we took of the whole family on Sunday:

And one of her with her hair in curlers, she loves getting her hair in curlers,and she actually keeps them in all night long, it looks gorgeous when it's done!

Now Sap: What can I say about Makayla that could truly express to everyone and my Heavenly Father how grateful I am for her? There are no words...she is a special daughter of God that I do not always feel worthy to raise or be the mother of. I am so grateful for the selflessness, kindness, patience and Christ-like love she continues to show and teach me. I am grateful my other children have the opportunity to share bloodlines and an eternal bond with her. She is a part of my heart and I love her so much!!! We love you KayKay...Mom,Dad,James,Evan,Sadie,and Emily!

It's Another.....

So it's official, we are adding another Girl to the Divis Clan! I was in total and complete shock. I really felt like this baby was definitley a boy! But as soon as I found out I was thrilled, and shocked. She looks so much like Sadie. She looked perfectly healthy and was very shy.



Here are my ultrasound pictures.
Our official name for the baby is Emily Camille Divis. We had originally decided on another name, but as soon as James and I found out it was a girl, the name wasn't right. This is the name that popped into both our heads, so I know it is her name, I am so excited for our little Emily to get here, and I pretty much have everything from Sadie,so win-win.

Evan's Third Birthday Party At Grandma and Grandpa Mac's

So this Saturday Evan will be my three year old. Sad, sad, sad day...We had an early celebration at my mom's house last night because we will be in Yakima visting friends on his birthday. I was going to pick up James Micheal from my moms, because he got to have a sleepover for the holiday weekend. Well, it soon turned into a celebration for Evan. My sweet and very talented sister-in-law made delicious chocolate caramel cupcakes. And his favorite meal of all time, mac and cheese and hot dogs. He also got presents. All candy...he was over the moon, the kid loves chocolate as much as I do! My mom took some adorable pictures! This one is my favorite by far!!

I will say that Evan has had a lot happen to him in his second year of life. He has had 2 MRI's, blood tests, x-rays, and eye exams. He has handeled them all like such a champ. He is walking or should I say running everywhere. He has a lot of very clear words now and is excited to start preschool next week. He has such a sweet and gentle spirit. I have never run across someone like him in my whole life. His Spirit just exudes from him, he has the love of Christ in him. I love the way he takes care of babies and talks to them. I love the faces he makes, they are hilliarous. I love how he snuggles with us on the couch, and hugs us so tight you feel every bit of love in it. He is a wonderful son and I am so grateful to be his mother. We love you Evan!!!

Life...

Life is going great. James Micheal did not like getting his tonsils out and the recovery has been horrid, but I have a feeling the benefits will be wonderful once he feels better. Makayla is loving being back to school. Evan turns 3 this month. Crazy! He runs everywhere, starting to say more words, and starts preschool on the 23rd! Sadie is going to be walking in a week guaranteed. I am so proud of her, she says a few words and is well on her way to being a wild toddler. James starts school again on the ninth, and has been working his tush off. I am almost halfway through my pregnancy, and starting to feel pretty darn good. I am excited to find out what the baby will be. I usually have a feeling one way or another, but I just don't this time. I am totally stumped. I will update with pictures soon. But we are all doing well and loving life!

Merry Christmas!

My mom made this video, isn't it cute!!

Sadie's Birthday Party!

Sadie had a great birthday party with family on Saturday. She got lots of adorable clothes and a fun ball popper and princess chair. She loves that chair, but she doesn't know how to sit in it, which makes her and Evan fighting over it even more hilarious. Today she just tried to lay on it so Evan couldn't grab it. Her Aunt Mariah, made her the cutest little cake, that was very Sadie-esque. Here are the wonderful pictures my mom took. We love you SADIE!!!

Sadie is ONE!!

So it is official our little Sadie Belle is one! BOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We are so happy and sad that our little girl is growing up! She can say a lot of things: Mamma, Dadda,BaBa(bottle), No, hi, yay,nigh-nigh(Night Night), and bye! She can wave hi and bye, loves to dance,and as of last night folds her arms for prayers. She is standing on her own for long periods, and has already taken her first steps. I believe in a month or two she will be walking. She can also throw fits like no other child we have ever had. It is actually like a process that she goes through. Hiliarous and yet annoying during church for some reason. She is our little firecracker that is for sure.

Now for the sap. Sadie has been a very welcomed child in our family. She gives us so much hope and excitement for our future. I am always so happy to see her every morning. I bawled the day she was born, because she meant so much to me in that moment of time in my life, and she still does. It is so fun to see how much she fits into our family and has added such an entertaining level to it. She really loves James Micheal and follows him everywhere like a puppy. Evan and her are starting to find common ground, and I am sure will be friends someday! Makayla and her do not spend much time with each other but when they do, I see the sisterly bond between them, Sadie has been the only child that Makayla has actually liked and worried about in our family, and I enjoy seeing their relationship blossom. Well that is all, Sadie is awesome and is just doing so well. We love you Sadie, love mom, dad, james, makayla,evan, and little bean number 5!

Losing Teeth and Black Eyes!

Well, James Micheal lost his first tooth last night. He came up to us after dinner and told us his bottom tooth was loose. He constantly says his teeth are loose, so I didn't pay much attention until he started wiggling it with his tongue. What can I say...it was gross. I told James M. we didn't need to pull it out yet. Then he cried for about 5 minutes wondering what he wanted to do. He kept saying I don't want to pull it out, it will hurt..ya know yada, yada, yada. Well we just ignored him. Well, he stopped crying..came up to me and said,"I pulled it out." and handed me the tooth. I was just in shock, he had literally just been crying about not wanting to do it, then he just did. It was hilarious. Anyways, he got his dollar from the tooth fairy and was very excited and can't wait till he looses the next one.

Evan got a black eye from running around with James Micheal, until he conveniently fell on the very edge of the ottoman. He looks like a tough toddler who got in a fight at the sandbox. What can I say, that kid is the most accident prone kid I have EVER MET...besides myself. Here is his shiner.

And I threw in a couple of pictures of the girls because they never have any black eyes or bloody mouths. I guess they are just too perfect. These boys will put me in an early grave. Enjoy!
