february is a huge month for the emrich side of the family. counting chelsea's boyfriend we now have 6 birthdays that are spread throughout the month. so, we had a joint birthday party for everyone yesterday at todd and mary lous house.
birthdays this month include:
todd (7th)
moriah (10th)
maddy (16th)
me (17th)
kim (25th)
and now jared ( i'm not sure what the exact date is)
i spent the day running around town with kids in tote on saturday getting odds and ends preparing myself for sundays party. i had to make a quick stop at jo-anns which is right across from olive garden which happens to be levi's most favortie place to eat. he begged as we walked out of the fabric store and i gave in and enjoyed my first three to one lunch outing. thankfully it went rather well. nataley is big enough now that she can sit in a high chair (with a bag prop, because she is still a little overwhelmed by it) and levi and livi were well behaved and listened to my every word. it went so smoothly that i think i may add it to the mix of stuff i do regularly with the kids. the only part that wasn't much fun (and this was for the whole day, not just the restaurant) was helping alivia on the potty. now that i'm not using the carrier for nataley it is a little difficult to help alivia with her panties and getting her up and off the potty while holding nat..... but, we survived and i would gladly take it to changing another stinky diaper any day of the week! :)
the birthday party was fun. i need to take a second to say i am so thankful for my family. it doesn't really hit you till you talk to other people who don't get along with in-laws how good it is when you can get along with them. honestly i've grown to think of brians parents as my own (well, second parents that is). and i don't know where i would be without kim and our fun conversations, and chelsea always knows how to make me laugh. i'm to the point where i am completely myself and comfortable around all of them and i love everyone of them!

YODER'S HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!
what? you may ask...
they opened a produce store!
that's right! it looks fabulous and is doing wonderfully. seriously, they just keep getting bigger and bigger..... won't be long before they take over the world........ well, at least our little corner of it! :)
and yes...
i brag because i picked out the colors, and brian said they keep getting compliments on it..... "it's my gift" (says mary lou) even though i don't think of it as my gift, just something i love to do!
last but not least....
we finally got to do our pictures today. the weather has been so weird here the past couple weeks that our shoot has been canceled twice now. thankfully today was beautiful! and i seriously can't wait to get them back, i can just feel how wonderful they are going to turn out! krystal kay is amazing! and if you live in the area i seriously think you should give her a try!
