Happy Halloweeeeen! (2011)

We seemed to celebrate this Halloween season a bit longer than we usually do. We made some fun Halloween treats Monday for FHE. The following day we delivered them to friends. It was good to drive around and chat and say hello to friends.


Even Aidan was in on it.  He kept saying he was "a big helper." It's so cute to see how he's getting to where he always wants to help whatever I'm doing.

Mini witches hats

They were easy, fun, and cute!

The girls' school didn't do individual class parties. Instead they had a whole school Halloween activity Friday night.

Ariel, Repunzel, Batman
Saturday was our ward Halloween party. They had games and prizes throughout different rooms in the church, chili cook-off, treats, pumpkin decorating, "Monster Mash" dancing, and even a "spook alley" in the theme of Alice in Wonderland. (Yeah I can see how that'd be a spooky theme. :) The kids had a great time.

On Halloween the kids were ready to go trick or treating. We've never actually gone door to door trick or treating before. It was always just the ward Trunk or Treat and then drive to certain family and friends' houses for trick or treating. So this was a new experience for our kids. Even Tyler was totally up for it. On Saturday he wasn't so sure about his cowboy hat and sheriff's badge. Tonight he didn't want to let them go. He was so cute to always say "thank you" whenever someone handed him candy. (It's good to know that I am able to teach good manners and it gets through to my kids!)

Check out the loot!

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
