She's suddenly sprouted curls, and I'm just eating them up.
Olivia spends her day following me from room to room, chatting me up. She is in love with her new little sister in a major way and whispers "Oh!" in adoration whenever Emme is near. It's about the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
She became a smash hit with the Sam's Club staff last Friday by shouting, "Free sample! Free sample!" from her cart-seat the whole way through the store.
Another choice Sam's club moment from the week:
Caleb rolled up to a sample cart with three of our four girls.
The pretty, slender black woman working the cart looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "Are these all yours?" He confirmed. She replied, "You done LOST yo' mind!"
Caleb spat with laughter. Olivia shouted, "Free sample!"
Then Caleb pointed to me heading their way with our fourth girl.
Woman: "Another girl?"
Caleb: "Yep."
Woman: "Tell me the day and year?"
Caleb: "Of what?"
Woman: "When you done LOST yo' mind!"
We are quite a spectacle these days.
Speaking of spectacles:
Kids in glasses: never not funny.
This girl pretty much has my heart in her pocket.

Um... I love that dress that Olivia is wearing! Love the curls and good grief where did you get such a fabulous doll house? My husband surprised L with one and it isn't the cutest thing.
This woman has clearly never been to Utah... love it!! You have gorgeous children!!! I love that they're all girls!
Kate,
We live in Utah and only have 3 girls, and my poor husband still gets the "Are you crazy looks" when we go out together.
I don't know what I would do with a boy though, I'm so glad their girls.
Your girls are beautiful that's why you draw attention. Just imagine when they are all teenagers and you turn every head in the store at Sam's Club.
DYING! Olivia's curls are so cute!
I have a friend whose brother served a mission somewhere in the South. When he told someone he was from a family of 5 kids the reply he got was, "Dang boy, your mama musta been poppin' out babies like pez!"
Classic.
So cute! And just as I was reading your post Charlie cut his finger with some scissors. I quickly replied to his screams, have you dun lost yo mind?!
Cute curls!
We even got the "are they all yours" comments in Utah.
Oh I am laughing so hard! Gotta love some people and their comments, and even better when they have a great drawl! Too funny!
And I love that you have four beautiful girls and they all look exactly like you! Gorgeous, gorgeous! Love those curls!
Beyond lovely! She is simply stunning! And boy do I know that big family story... granted I wish someone would say it to me with such pizazz! That's awesome!
Her curls remind me of her mama. She is darling!
Love this post! I heart southern accents!
No, I haven't seen her lately. Wow. I don't even recognize her. She is SOO big. And what a beauty. I bet you are loving those curls. Thank goodness for your blog. I love seeing your kids' faces. And so when WAS the date you done lost yo mind?? I love it. I can totally see Caleb laughing at that. He is so good natured. Joey and I are constantly amazed at how well he handles stress... ie - medical school with 4 kids.
what a beauty! we were told by a sweet black lady when we lived in new england that we was so poor we couldn't afford the "r". so she kept repeating , you's so poo. she was doing our taxes so she had the info she needed. people need to visit the slc more often.....
So adorable. Seriously, she should be earning her keep in model fees to help the ol' family out.
When you make such beautiful people as you and Caleb do you're pretty much obligated to have as many as you can handle. I don't think yo mind is lost!
LOLOLOLOLOLLL that is SO funny, you guys!!!! so classic for around here, ha ha ha :):):) when they come as cute as your family does, you gotta have lots :) ha too funny, i'm still laughin'... you'll never forget your time in Pittsburgh, will ya!! :):):) the "free sample" part is HILARIOUS!!! haaa :) love it! and hello, lil o's hair is to die for!!
If ever a day is gloomy... that fades after reading your stories. I laugh out loud, Kate! Right out loud.
O has your curly hair! I remember your curls from when we were in elementary school! O is stunning.
Done lost yo mind!! Here come the giggles again as i type it out.
Dang those amazing glasses, hair and PJ's- Your girls are just simply gorgeous!
So Sweet!!! I guess we lost our minds together...haha. At least we make em cute
That first pic on the left is you as a baby. Remember those pics of you in the chair? What a cutie. I would be so happy if Charlie busted out a "free sample!" We're still working on single words - and consonants. Just another way Heavenly Father was helping me not to have another baby right now. Love the darling curls. Wish I could meet her more.
I love it when I laugh out loud! Your pictures, the way you write and the thought of Caleb laughing, Olivia and her curls-oh it is all so refreshing! :)
Joey here, I agree with Victoria. Those top pics look so much like you when you were little. Good job having such cute kids. Love you guys.
I love this story! Oh my gosh! So funny.
What the?!!!! From strait to that?! Amazing! and I think the two top pictures are the first time she is looking like you. She was pure Caleb before. What pretty girls. Really a great blend of both of you.
We need video...I want to hear her talk. Our boys STILL watch Jane's "Sweeping Beauty walking through da Hood..."
Remember when we took the 6 boys to Disney world with you and Victoria? "Bless you!" "Heaven Help you!" "You do know what causes that don't you?"
Just 3 more girls Kate...3 more!
Love the post! Love you all!
Such a gorgeous little one.
Your post made me laugh, I got my other half to read it, so that he would know what to expect when we go shopping once we have our 4 girls!
All your girls are so beautiful. I love Olivia's curly hair. Emme is adorable. Glad things are going so well! I can't believe you guys are so close to being done with 3rd year, wow time flies!
That is absolutely hilarious! What a good laugh you must have had and continue to do so. Kate and Caleb, Emme is absolutely wonderful. CONGRATULATIONS. I just realized tonight i needed to check on her arrival and i'm a tad late. What an incredible addition. I'm so glad your Mom could finally be with you, what a treat. Xoxoxo
