Big Surprise!!!

So after Elizabeth's reception we all pitched in to help clean up. Jaime was great to come back and help clean up after he took the kids to his parents to put them to bed. 
(However, it turns out there were ulterior motives! Keep reading.)It was New Year's Eve and we had no plans other than heading back home and going to bed as we were all tired.

Jaime hadn't seen Lori's new apartment so we went to go see that and visit for a bit. After we left Jaime asked if I was hungry but I wasn't too bad and said just go home.
He decided to stop at Bob's Burgers and Brew. 
I asked, "What time are your parents expecting us to get back there to the kids? It's late." 
It was already 9:45. 
Jaime said, "They won't be expecting us." As he pulls out...
 A HOTEL KEY!
Yep, this guy had this all planned out. We didn't go out for our anniversary and we didn't have a New Year's party planned so he booked an anniversary date for us after all. 
We had some good dinner and a sweet anniversary get away.
This was a total shockingly, big surprise to me. I had no clue.
So much for me thinking I could plan something good for our 10th anniversary! He may  have me beat.
Thanks Jaime! I love you so much!

The next morning we SLEPT IN and had a wonderful breakfast at our hotel.
We went and visited Jaime's parents and got the kids.
Being that my parents live so close to Jaime's we went to see them and my relatives that happened to still be there from Elizabeth's wedding.
Lindsey and Olivia played the entire time with my cousin's kids, Rylee and Madison. Tyler was exhausted and slept almost the entire time and Aidan was so tired that he sat in Grandma's lap for a good time. It was a good evening to spend with family. I loved it.


Aidan and Grandma Marcia


He's so adorable. I love that my kids like to cuddle.
Notice his favorite bunny. He totes that everywhere he can.


Jaime had to wake Tyler so he'd be able to sleep later that night. He wasn't ready to wake up, can you tell? Aidan wanted to cuddle with Daddy like Tyler. I think Jaime enjoyed the special time with his boys.
It was a wonderful New Year's Eve-Day.
I'm happy to now be able to say it's Twenty-twelve. Much easier to say than Two thousand eleven.
Happy New Year everyone. I hope you have a good one.

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...

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
