I do have a couple of names for you. They both start with 'C' because I want you to be part of the other boys already in our family. I am not sure we have decided totally which one to choose, and maybe we wont know until we look into your beautiful little face, but I love them both and we will see. I am so excited and so nervous and so worried that as an older mother I will be everything you need me to be. But, my baby boy, you are coming to a family that is so excited for you to join them. Your older brothers can't wait to get you here. Carson, because he wants his own room, but Creeden can't wait to give you his clothes, and love you and kiss on you. He kisses my belly about a million times a day and tells you that you are beautiful and that you 'rock!' Your sisters are also so excited, I think mostly to dress you and pack you around. I promise you will have more mommies than you will know what to do with.
I feel you move inside my belly and see you bouncing around. I absolutely believe that you will be my little ball of fire. I am trying to create a good and safe place for you to grow healthy and strong. I do think that you really like turkey sandwiches, strawberries, and ice cream. Oh, and coke, you little stinker. How am I suppose to be healthy with you wanting sugar and coke? :)
I love you. I love you.I love you.
Keep on a cookin'!
your momma

February in Review-
-"Sleeplessness does such a weird thing to my brain. I go down paths of regrets. Like, "We should have gone to see the character parade while we were at Disneyland." Uh, is this going to be like my life? I'm going to lay in my coffin and have a whole eternity of living with my "should have dones."
-"If it's going to be cold, the best gift to help endure it?- No School, No School!"
_"Glow?" my ass, it's call acne."
-" How does a kumquat size thing in my gut make my thighs look like grapefruits got lodged in them?"
-"We are currently residing on "Lake Petersen."
-"I love snowmen. Everything about them- the fun that's put into building them, the personality of each little face, and their secret life that happens when we are asleep."
-"Power of 10. That's all I can do."
When this baby zaps all my energy, I just go 10 at a time. 10 more things to pick up. 10 more dishes. 10 more minutes. 10 is very doable.
-"105 Reasons We <3 you"= best valentines surprise ever! :)
While we were gone the kids made a 105 hearts with reasons they love us and taped them to our door with streamers and a present! they are so awesome!
-"Monday Morning Matinee= my new favorite thing!"
For my birthday Cody and I took a day off and went to an 11 movie. We were the only people in the theater! It was awesome!
-"It's amazing how it actually may have taken 38 years, but at this point I actually have found a few true friends."
-"On the flip side, I'm really sad by the number of people I begged for acknowledgment from, and in the end wasted energies that were never appreciated."
Lesson learned.
-"36 Roses! Yes, that is 3 dozen, THREE DOZEN - Beautiful Roses!"
-"Muddy dirt and yellow grass, You are so beautiful to my winter eyes!"
-"Black eye, Broken nose, Creeden has definite strength in his headbutt."

Baby it's Cold Out There!
I decided that I would update this on a monthly basis, now that I have a whole year on the backside.
That being said, I will add the end of my December thoughts to my January, and well, here we go!
-"Christmas Break over = super :( "
-"Love sitting around and playing games with my own little family!"
The kids learned how to play rummy over break, I think we have totaled over a 100 hrs of cards :) (or close)
-"I am partied out!"
It was a party year for the Grovers- good job us!
-"Sleeping in- what a fun little luxury!"
-"I love cooking in a clean kitchen-"
-"Is it so wrong that when I'm settled in to do paperwork, but forgot to grab a pen, I automatically put my hands down in the couch cushions?"
Terrible I know, and even worse that the habit stems from success....
-"Two Spirits Exchange."
-"Has my distaste for cold created an early spring?"
Ya, I'm pretty sure I'm the one in control of that.
-"A Magic Bean" :)
-"My skis were lined all neatly in a row. Very organized. Lose two feet of snow, and they look like the game tiddly winks."
-"I swear I just shut that door and turned off the light 30 sec ago, and here I am doing it again."
Seriously it amazes me how many times in a day I can do the same thing.
-"Hi, I'm Emily, and here's my alter ego, and my other alter ego, and Hi, I'm emily."
Yep, one of those days.
-"Sunshine in January- Ah, the blessedness of it."
-"Yes, I gave myself a haircut, and of course I was naked, what's wrong with that?"
My siblings thought this was hilarious, I think it is very logical.
-"Warm water makes me so sleepy."
-"Love love the seat heater in my car."
-"Has anyone seen my mind?" Micheal Franti
-"Is anyone else addicted to hot showers?"
-"Seriously? I never taught my kids what happens when you stick your tongue to the flagpole? And, he is my logical one!"
Much trama later, he has tastebuds back.
-"I need a robot mode, turn the switch to auto pilot please."
-" Uh, if I can't get the couch off my butt, can you bring the stove to me please?"
-"I need a thermometer attached to my door so that when I go out to run and it's only 0` I can turn around and work out inside. Good news, I lost no limbs to frostbite!"
