And then she turned 6!

My baby girl turned six! She's been counting down the days, believe me. I gave her the options of what she could do to celebrate her birthday. She chose to have a family party. One of her treats was being able to stay Friday night at her Grandma Marcia's house. So we had the party there at my Mom and Dad's since Lindsey and Olivia were already there. It also made it easier for my grandma and grandpa Noble to be able to be apart of it. 

The night before the day I baked Olivia's cake she changed her mind about her cake design. 
She has been planning and talking about having Monster High cupcakes all month. I had my plan all figured out on how I was going to make them. Olivia changed from Monster High to having orca whales. I had thought it'd be neat to make a cake with the whales sticking out of the "water" but she wanted me to just frost whales on it. I didn't argue! It was much easier, but actually fun at the same time. She does have a soft spot for orca whales. :) It started when she first saw Free Willy a few years ago. There's something new most people didn't know about Livie.  


Squinkies...these little squishy toys are so cute.


Ever since Tyler got the plush Mickey on his birthday Olivia has felt the need for his better half.
She loves her Minnie Mouse. 


Since her birthday party was Saturday, I wanted her actual birthday to be a special day as well. The boys and I took cupcakes in to Olivia's class during snack time. And don't think it was easy going into a school full of kids expecting my boys to sit still! Crazy but worth it for Olivia. She was beaming from ear to ear. :)


And the usual... breakfast for her birthday dinner. Waffles!

Cards in the mail and special birthday phone calls made her day. I love it when she feels special.
Happy Birthday Liv Luv. We love you!

    Oh sweet girl! She is a doll. Her and I share the same love for Orca's. I've wanted to be a marine biologist since I first saw Free Willy. I used to watch that movie over and over. You did very good on the cake. I wish I had that talent. My poor children. I can't believe she's 6, getting so big. Happy Birthday sweet Olivia!

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!!!!

Image
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
