{The Simple Things}

I can't believe it has been another week since I posted- I have a couple birthday posts and some HALLOWEEN festivities... so stay tuned!

Anyway but for my SUNDAY SIMPLE THINGS today,
here is this week's picture:

I just love my daughter's PRECIOUS hands! I have always loved watching and feeling her hands!! I love when I (or someone else) am holding her and she is playing with her blanket. (she has rubbed the edge of her blanket since she was born-its her security thing)
Seeing her cute hands and holding them always put a smile on my face!!
I love the simple things in my life!!

{The Simple Things}

I was reading my friend Melissa's blog and she had read THIS blog- and I like the idea! Like Melissa said I get caught up on the cooking, cleaning, babysitting, and other responsibilities I forget to stop and enjoy the moment!! So I think in my own SIMPLE THING CHALLENGE- I am going to post a picture or story or something SIMPLE that I enjoyed in my life!! I love little moments and I need to cherish them and not forget them!! So this weeks picture is:

This simple thing is: Mary said I could lay by her and share her blanket! I love moments like these! Cuddling up with my daughter is the most special thing a mother could ask for!


I have been feeling guilty that I am not a good enough Mother lately! Mary has got into this WAY BRATTY phase and honestly i dont know how to get her out of it! I can't handle the way she acts and I have not NEAR enough patience as I should and it makes me feel so awful inside!! Mary is my sweet baby and does not deserve to be treated with zero patience! So when I took a moment today to enjoy "the simple things" I was so happy! I love my little girl and I am so thankful for her! She is such a blessing in my life and I am going to commit to being a GOOD mother and have PATIENCE this week!!

Update!

Happy Fall Time!!

I love the app Instagram! It makes pictures look really cool!! I love this picture I took of Mary- This is in the front of my Mom's house! Pretty festive and cute huh!

So an update on us Empey's:

Daddy and his Princess! 
Will has been extremely busy with school! He is taking 18 credits, and studying his butt off! He starts getting his Pharmacy school application, like now and turns it in, in FEBRUARY! So exciting! He is so smart and I really hope he is accepted!! That will be a huge blessing!!

My new haircut!

I have been extremely busy trying to balance being a MOM, Scentsy, Miche, babysitting 3 kiddos (whom I absolutely love!!)  and trying to lose weight for myself!! I have a blog call LOSE IT EMILY where i go and put, feelings, ideas, successes, failures, etc.... go follow that blog! I love suggestions, encouragement, and advice!!
Hailey, Mary, Reegan, and Sadie playing and reading! This is my job! and I love it! (haven't done any hair in this photo :/ ) haha

Picture was taken on Emotion Bowl!!
Litte Miss Mary!
She is our CRAZY girl! she is HILARIOUS and definitely keeps us on our toes!!
She LOVES:
Dragon Tales
her BLANKY
Play Doh (Taydoh is what she calls it)
anything Princess
nursery
the thought of a little bro or sis (she obsesses over it - NO i am not pregnant YET)

MARYISMS:
some little phrases she says thats cute (sometimes on the bratty ones)
1. I LUB IT (she says LUB for LOVE) haha Will and I love this!
2. Should be- She says this a lot! WE will ask "wheres your sippy cup, is it in your room?" and she will reply "SHOULD BE!"
3. Is that a good idea! haha I love when she says this! she will say, "lets brush our teeth and watch Dragon Tales" and I will say ok, and she says "thats a good idea?" haha
4. Never, EVER EVER- the bratty one I was talking about
5. FINE ITS NOT FAIR- another bratty one! Will and I wonder if we have a teenager already! We are in trouble with this girl!

Thats about all I have for now!! 

MARY GOT MAIL:

made by Woods!!
A month or so ago Mary had the HANDS FOOT MOUTH virus, and she was in a LOT of pain! she mainly got sores in her mouth, but some appeared on her feet as well! I had posted pictures on FB of Mary crying in misery from the pain, and Woods told Angie he wanted to make a picture for her- He also wanted to send a BAND AID for her sore! HOW ADORABLE IS HE!? We love our little Woodsman! Very Very loyal and loves his Mary!!
Thanks Woods- she LOVED (or should i say LUBBED) the letter!!!
