9 Years and Counting...

December 27th was our 9th anniversary. 



It wasn't the typical anniversary celebration we like to have but we were still able to express our love to each other. Starting around 12:30 a.m. that morning (we still hadn't gone to bed yet Monday as we had another late night watching a movie) we were able to say happy anniversary. Jaime brought me sweet and simple flowers. We usually go to the Mexican restaurant where our wedding party and guests went to have dinner after our wedding. But this anniversary was different. Jaime's grandpa, Eusebio Palacios died on Friday the 23rd and his memorial service happened to be on the 27th at 6 p.m. We wouldn't miss it and were glad to attend. It was hard to see Jaime's mom and sisters crying together. Jaime did a good job reading the obituary during the service. Grandpa Palacios was a wonderful father and grandfather. 
We will all miss him but know that he's happy and feeling better now.

My photo books are still in a box so this is the best picture 
I could find of Jaime's Grandpa and Grandma Palacios.


After the memorial we went to pick up our kids from the sitter then head back home around 8:30. As we were almost home Aidan said in his sweet, endearing voice, "Dad I want some chicken." Jaime said he couldn't resist (didn't hurt that Jaime was hungry since we hadn't had dinner yet) and got Aidan's chicken and took orders from the rest of us. We got dinner items from McDonalds, Sonic, and Panda Express and ate it at home. He told the kids not to get used to this. It turned out we sort of did get to eat out for our anniversary. We had a wonderful time with our kids as well.

I've loved the last 9 years and plan on loving the next 9 and many, many more!! We are madly in love and I can't imagine my life without him.

Happy anniversary Jaime!! We'll do something special for number 10.

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
