Guess what I'm thankful for...

Olivia is adorable. Her deep, deep brown eyes and sweet dimples are wonderful. She's funny! She loves to make me laugh, which I thoroughly enjoy. She likes to spend time with me, I only wish I was better at it. Olivia can play with anyone. She doesn't care if they are 2 or 11 she plays well with them and they seem to have a good time playing with her as well. Olivia has always had a great laugh. I love to hear it!

She likes to go shopping. It's hard for me to not buy something for her whenever we go. She'll be so good to show me what she wants and put it back when I say, "Not this time." She happily responds with, "OK then put it on my Christmas list!" Olivia likes to play with toys. It's hard for her when Lindsey wants to read and Olivia wants to play something like princesses, Barbie, or Calico Critters. When Lindsey doesn't want to play, Olivia will generally come find me to ask to play.

Olivia has become quite responsible with helping keep the boys, especially Tyler, from getting into things they shouldn't. She also likes to help the boys when they need help getting a drink or something else. I appreciate her desire to be helpful. One night she was so happy to be able to fill her own glass with water and walk it back to the table without help.

She's growing so fast (yet still short for her age. She inherited that from me). She's at the in between stage of clothes. Size six is a little too big and size five is too small. She's already lost two teeth. She's just starting the stage of not looking like a little girl. Once those baby teeth are gone they look so much older. Olivia is a joy to have a round. She has such a sweet heart and I'm so thankful that she's mine!

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
