it's official

our table for three is about to become a table for four.

and i have the stroller to prove it.


there have only been two big things that i have stressed over in regards to the arrival of our little guy. 1. bedding and 2. stroller.

i am happy to say that the fabric has been purchased, and the stroller has arrived. you heard me right, fabric.. i am actually going to attempt to make bedding. i am probably crazy, and am acting like i have nothing better to do, but having that black and white wall in the kids room really threw me for a loop (its still weird to say "kids" rather then emmy). they definitely don't have much variety period for boy bedding, but throw in the black and your options are next to nothing. so here i am. attempting to sew a bumper, sheet and skirt. wish me luck.

on another note, i would like to add that i owe it all to ellen for the big stroller purchase. there is no way on this green earth that i would have ever spent this much money on a stroller. but thanks to the stroller i got last year at ellen i was able to sell that and my jogger to make up a good 70 to 75% of the cost of this one. it was like buying a really cheap double stroller. i got the quality without the cost!

in doing all my research and trying out different strollers, i was amazed at how high some of the prices were. absolutely ridiculous.

all i have to say, is i am almost there. i almost feel ready for dane to get here. almost.

did you catch that? we have a name (actually have had it for some time, just haven't posted it)!

Dane Emmett Morphy and i love him already.

i miss

her

i think i met meredith when she was 11 or 12. this was when baker and i had started dating.. well we had already been dating awhile, he had strict rules about when and why he would take a girl home to meet the fam. but that is besides the point.

mere just got accepted to byu idaho. i honestly can not believe that it is time for this girl to go away to school. out on her own. absolutely crazy to me. to see who she has become over the last 6+ years makes me smile. she knows who she is, she knows whats important in life, and she knows where she eventually wants to be. when i graduated high school i had no idea about any of that. i could care less. mere is the girl i always wanted to be and wished that i could have been. baker and i keep saying that we hope emmy is just like her aunt mimi. (only not as much of a sleeper. wink.) the girl has got it all.

thinking about her going away to school today made me miss her. i would give anything right now to listen to taylor swift and make music videos.

kyler grant box

my brother and sister in law had their first baby yesterday. i am thoroughly in love. i think emmy was too.


she was having more fun playing with everything she could get her hands on at the hospital, and eating my brothers "celebration" dinner though. which is sad. it was refreshing however, to see her react to something so small and new. gives me hope that this new little guy that is going to join our family wont phase her in a bad way.



she especially loved player with her new cousins ballons. she had some crazy hair after that.



i know i have said this before, but i have had a hard time transitioning from girl mode to boy mode. i just don't speak boy. my house is filled with pink tights, girly toys, and bows. i have only had nieces up until yesterday, and let me tell you, my new nephew is just what i needed. the slump i was in yesterday is over, and i am ready to get started on this. it also helped seeing baker with a little boy. i think they are going to be best buds.






so one down, and two to go. my sister should be having her little girl any day now, and we are just around the corner as well. baby fest 09 for the box family!


boy looks good on me doesn't it?

in a slump

i don't know what it is, i have been in a slump. no blogging, no taking pictures for fun because i want to, no crafting, no cooking, no nothing. what is wrong with me? snap out of it i keep telling myself. so in the meantime here are some pictures of miss em.. and believe it or not i am in them too.

keep in mind that these were taken with photobooth, not a real camera.

last night

we went to this lady's wedding... doesn't she look beautiful?


the backyard was nothing short of spectacular equipped with bridges, ponds, trees, rock paths, and a dance floor. miss em cut a rug like i have never seen. it was amazing.


she danced with nora papworth


she danced with daddy



and for some reason she l-o-v-e-d dancing with brad.. i think it was because he would pick her up and swing her.

the video is a little dark.. lack of light, but you get the idea. as long as the music was on, she was movin like it was going out of style. love her.
