BYU Theater Ballet

Since I was in Spokane I wouldn't be home to take the girls to the BYU Theater Ballet that same Saturday. Lindsey had asked me if we could go and I thought it'd be fun to go to lunch and the ballet together just me and my sweet girls. Then I realized that it was the weekend of TOFW so I asked Bel if she could take the girls for me and I'd buy the tickets for all of them. She was more than happy to and Lindsey and Olivia are always happy to spend some time with their Aunt. 

Not only did Bel come over that Saturday afternoon but Jaime's parents and brother did as well. Diana cooked up some Spanish rice and yummy tacos for everyone to eat. (When I got home later that night my house still smelled like delicious tacos. They even saved me two!) Bel helped the girls get dressed up. The theme was "Fairy Tales and Fantasy" and kids were encouraged to dress up. My girls wanted to dress as princesses and took their matching stuffed princess dolls with them. Lindsey will be 11 in a week. She still loves princess-y things as much as she did when she was a little girl. There will be a time when she's had enough of this but I do enjoy her sweet, innocent, princess spirit that she has. 

They were able to get their pictures taken with the performers at the pre-show party. 



They had a great time and had awesome seats. Bel bought them frozen yogurt from My Fro-Yo on the way home. Sometimes I think my kids like to hang out with their Aunt more than me because she's way more generous with her money than I am. ;p I'm grateful to Jaime's family who came to feed and take care of my family while I was away. Jaime didn't need any help but he enjoys the company as much as the rest of us. I'd say it was a good weekend for all of us.

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

The Past Week...

Image
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

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
