Then, about a year and a half ago, my Sis-In-Law Nikki had Collin.
-quick little story about Collin, the other day after Nikki's surprise baby shower (which was a success by the way) I stopped by her house to drop some things off that had been forgotten. Nikki opened the door and Brenden came to the door with Collin in his arms. Collin saw me and reached his arms out to me. I took him from Brenden and he gave me the biggest hug! Both of his arms with wrapped around my shoulders and his head was buried in my neck. Then he gave me the sweetest kiss on the lips (he doesn't know how to kiss anywhere else yet...I love it!) and another big hug! I thought my heart was going to explode! He is so sweet!
Then a year ago (on the 22nd of this month) my other Sis-In-Law Kimbalie had my sweet niece Emerie.
A couple of months after that, Shaunalee had another baby - the cute little Heidi.
Well, last night Nikki had my sixth niece/nephew (they should come up with a word that combines those...like niephew...or nephiece...ok I will have to work on that one...)
Welcome to the world Elle Lane Saline!!!!!
Isn't she absolutely beautiful!?! I haven't met her yet, but I'm already in love with her! She looks so much like Collin! I can't wait to get to know her like I have the rest of my niecephews (no, that doesn't work either).
Congratulations Brenden and Nikki!!!!!
Since I'm talking about my nieces and nephews (I gave up on combining the words...for now...) I had to post this picture of Emerie. I am so blessed to be able to babysit her on Tuesdays, and yesterday I was trying to catch her doing this face that she does where she grins and scrunches up her nose and her head and it so so cute...but she stopped doing it every time I aimed the camera at her....but I caught this face and it was priceless!
I love being an Aunt and I can't wait until Laney Bug and Tanner Man are old enough to have some little ones too (Ok...I can wait you guys....I can wait a long, long time! hee hee hee)
PS - I have some really great videos to post...here is a teaser: Freezing cold water, sweat pants, and a bet....do I have your attention??

It is so great being an aunt huh? I LOVE my niece and nephews..haha. I want a million more!! I only have them from Kay's side too..since my brother are younger than me..and I can wait to have some from them..but goodness I do think I need some more. We have a new little one coming in like 6 months..but thats it! Haha I just love kids:) your nieces and nephews are so so cute too!!
Kids are so fun- especially when you can be their auntie! There are 24 in my family and then 8 in michaels (although I don't know his side very well) and they all got such fun personality! And it in some cases they can be lots more fun than actually being your own kid, cuz you don't have to be around them as much when they are grouchy or deal with them on possibly long rough nights like a parent would have to :)
