School's Back



What better way to start the school year off than with a Back to School party with friends the day before school starts.

The kids enjoyed snacks, swimming, jumping on the trampoline with the sprinkler on underneath and

playing in the sand! My kids really enjoyed that!

It's not often I let them play in dirt. Sorry, I have a hard time with it but they do get to do things like this sometimes so they aren't completely deprived.

Today was the first day of school. The girls were both excited and didn't seem nervous at all.

Lindsey came home from school with the biggest smile on her face.

Olivia loved school. She wished she could stay longer she said. She was excited to see Lindsey at recess too. I'm so glad they are such good friends

Yes I still had a hard time letting them go off school. I cried when I took Lindsey to kindergarten, 1st grade (even to her new 1st grade class after we moved) and you bet I cried when my Liv went to school. I miss them when they are gone and only hope they are happy and don't get hurt, physically and emotionally.

I have a few more years before I have to let Aidan go but right after him is Tyler very close behind...talk about hard to let your babies go!
I love my kids so much and enjoy watching them grow and learn and even teach me so much along the way.

    If I was their teacher I would be thrilled! They are such cutie pies and I'm sure they're both great students!

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
