30 Kids and Counting......

Emmrey LOVES babies.....okay maybe that is an understatement...she is OBSESSED!!  At last count she had 30 "kids" and she is still hoping for more:}  How does this happen you may be asking yourself? Well, first of all...we did not buy them ALL {some were gifts}.   Honestly...for someone like myself it makes me crazy...they are everywhere...all.the.time!  I have not been naive to the fact that she has too so many, every time I try to tell her we need to trim down to a manageable number...she falls apart.  They each have a name and she takes care of each of them (on different days), so for her it would be like asking her to give away a part of her family:{  So I continue to search for the perfect solution for storing all these "grandkids" {haven't found it yet} and try to remember that these days pass quickly and I should enjoy it while it lasts.  As much as I love a tidy house....I love even more watching her be a lil' momma. It's the one thing she plays daily...so at least its not another wasteful toy that is bought and then played with once in a while.  Now don't think she does this entirely on her own...she does have a "hubby" named Jo that has been in our family for over 2 years now-I'll have to write more on that later;}  So here you have our little "baby hoarder" (Mark called her this and now she calls herself this with pride) and her kids from l to r (back to front)- Coydroy, Kilya, Simon, Anna, Jack, Scarf, JJ, Boo, {Emmrey}, Matilda, Jillian, Lavender, Patches, Coconut, Tiana, Dorothy, Teddy, Georgie, Cris, Buffalo, Flista, Iguana, Jewel, Tiger, Blue, Berry, Penelope, Sun Bear, Renae, Molly and {Jo} Not pictured: Jenni {who was sick in bed}

Oh...later that day...Emmrey told us that she and Jo were having a "date night" and so her cute little sisters set them up a romantic dinner in dad's fly-tying room.....so thoughtful!  Of course the dinner was served with Ketchup ....Jo's favorite!!!

Oh how I LOVE this age!!
