Aidan's birthday

Where has the time gone. Aidan has grown up so much. He's such a good kid. It's hard to believe he was such a mischievous little toddler. Now he's a sweet, caring, cuddle bug. I never get tired of him coming up and giving me hugs and kisses. He and Tyler are working at being gentlemen. They like to hold doors open for me and their sisters. I love to watch Aidan play or do anything for that matter. Look at that face!! Sweetness. 

On Saturday August 30th we had Jaime's family over for a little celebration with DQ ice cream cake. 


I love i t when they play so well together. 

Wednesday September 3rd Aidan turns 6. He asked for oatmeal and toast for his birthday breakfast. He was excited to open a card that came in the mail from Brother and Sister Flory. That's where he got the origami dinosaurs. I'm not sure they know how much Aidan likes dinosaurs but the card was perfect for him. 

Cupcakes with Tyler and Ren. Bowser from Super Mario is Aidan's favorite character so I put little pics of Bowser on the cupcakes. That night we let Aidan pick where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner. McDonald's of course. However, he calls it Ol' McDonalds. :)

After dinner and a bit of shopping we took the kids to see the cable bridge lit up teal for ovarian cancer awareness. Then we drove over it. :) The little things that can make my kids happy actually make me happy too. It was a small celebration with our small family for his birthday but we loved it. 
Happy Birthday to the sweetest kid I know.

The Past Week...

This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

SURPISE!!!!

Image
Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look
