It's A Blizzard Out There!

The kids were so excited to wake up to snow...lots of it!

Aidan could hardly wait to go out in it.  
Look at his picture in the column on the left. That's Aidan in last year's big snow. I think he'll always like the snow.

Lindsey had a 2 hour school delay and it was Olivia's Wednesday off since we have half day kinder and Wednesdays are early release so only P.M. Kinder classes attended today.

Anyway, Olivia had a dentist appointment so we had to wait until almost 2 before we could go out in the mess. It was fun to watch the kids tromp through the snow that went up to their knees. I shoveled the driveway and watched them play. Why is it that kids have to play on the snow you're trying to shovel or throw snow back on the driveway? It was fun to listen to their imaginative play around me.





After they were cold to the bone THEN they decide to come inside. Aidan wanted a bath to warm up in and Olivia and the girls across the street came in for hot cocoa with marshmallows and then played games until it was time for dinner.

I like the snow when we get to stay home and not worry about driving. Good thing tomorrow our schools have already announced they're closed!!:) I think we'll be outside playing again.

Happy Snow-day!

    So fun! I wish we were there so Maybrie could have playmates out in the snow. I haven't taken her out yet and it is dark by the time Brian gets home. Also, it won't stop snowing, and I don't know if the freezing rain today would be a good idea!

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
