A Typical Day at the Beach for Us



This year the weather was great. It wasn't windy, cold, cloudy or rainy.





Of course we play in the sand! Everyone usually does something with the kids in the sand. Here's just a bit of what was done.


Everytime we are there some genius gets their car stuck in the sand. Usually it's a car that isn't meant for sandy terrain but this was hilarious! This guy got stuck in the sand with his Ford truck! The good guys that are in Jaime's family always go and help the stranded people get out. What tough guys! They are all pretty big so it's a lot of power helping out these stuck cars and in this case....truck. :)






Lindsey and Macy had a great time in the sand and decorating the sandcastles with peanut shells.


There's an old ship that ran ground many years ago and it's been wrecked and left on the shore since then. Now all that's left is part of its rusty frame. It's pretty neat to go see. I don't know the history behind it but I was told it's in the museum there. I could probably look it up online...maybe someday I will.







If you look closely you can see a piece of the ship sticking up out of the sand behind the girls.

Jaime wrote the kids' names in the sand. The girls thought that was awsome!



What a good day at the beach...


We had a good walk that day. Can you see my little five month preggo tummy? It's there believe me. :)


We had a good time but like most vacations...it's nice to be able to come home and sleep in your own bed and be around the norm again. The kids were so happy that they played with toys that they hadn't seen in a week. Yeah, Aidan's playing with Barbies...well, not really. He just likes the Barbie brushes.



Aidan got a bit of sun on his face. His nose and cheeks are so rosey it's cute.



While we were camping Aidan always wanted to drink out of a straw like the rest of us when we had a capri sun juice drink. We'd let him try but he just couldn't figure out to suck on it. Finally, the day after we get home, I made smoothies and let him try and wouldn't you know it. He was able to drink through a straw. It's so cute.



Yes...I'm very happy to be home as you can tell.

    That looked like SO much fun! Cami said that we need to go to the beach now. :) I love that Aidan is drinking through a straw, such a fun discovery. :) Cute pic at the end by the way!

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!!!!

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

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
