Anny the Fourth

It has been four years now that Kelly has been stuck with me. Poor girl! We have had some fun times the past four years. We are about to have our third baby since our marriage. It has been a lot of pregnancy time. Actually, I just used my calculator to do the math...and Kelly has been pregnant for 52% of our marriage. Yikes, I never thought about it that way until I saw those numbers.


Anyway, I just wanted to send a Happy Aninversary to my wonderful wife, Kelly.

Emma #2 / Honey

Hi, my name is Ruby. I like to use the least amount of words possible when I talk. I am a minimalist. If I can get away with calling both my Mother and Father the same name, I will. Mom seems to work fine for both of them.

Actually, I am getting much better at talking now. I have started calling my Father something besides "Mommy". I now call him "Poppie". He doesn't mind, especially in contrast with being called Mommy all the time.

I have two older sisters. The oldest is Emma. The other one has a name, too, but I prefer to keep it simple. I just call the other one Emma, too. It's much easier that way. Actually, just so I don't get them too frustrated, I have also been known to use the name "Honey" for my other sister. It's cause she's so sweet.

So, that's a little about me. I am going to turn 2 in June...the same month my new brother is going to arrive. I am going to teach him how to push a chair over to the counter and climb up to get all the food. It's a trick I learned from Honey. Here's Honey now...

Hi, I am Morgan. Ruby calls me Honey, but I don't like it. I wish she could say my name. I am busy...or so I hear. I love getting into things, and jumping all over the house, and putting on like 10 dressess or outfits per day. I just have a lot of energy to burn off, and I figure I might as well take care of it while my parents are young, right? I love Madonalds. Yeah, most people call it McDonalds...but they don't know what they are talking about.

Anyway, I just turned 3 a couple months ago, and I am fully potty trained. I have been able to do the whole toilet thing for a while now, but I wanted to keep my parents on their toes...so eventhough I was cool with using the toilet all by myself...I just once in a while would let stuff go in my underwear for the fun of it. My parents...they didn't think it was cool though. Ah well, I am done all that nonsense now though.


Hello, I'm the real Emma. I am a little Diva. Whatever that means. I love to sing, and make up my own songs. Oh, and I love the movies...so when I turned 8 a few weeks ago, I had a party with some of my girl friends at the theatre. It was awesome. I was baptized the exact same day, too. It was really awesome. There was even a spider in the font with me and Pops. We had an awesome get together at our house after. There was so much good food.

Last week I was playing outside with some of the boys in the neighborhood, because it was so nice out. I was playing hockey for the first time. They were really fun to play with. I scored the winning goal for my team. I love playing with my sisters, too. They think I am the greatest. I am so excited for the little boy on the way. I am going to have fun dressing him up and painting his toenails. Pops says that will never happen. I am betting he's right. I love being a girl. Girl power!!
