The first turns 8!

Lindsey's birthday fell on a Sunday this year. March 18th. So she decided she wanted a Mother/Daughter day out on St. Patrick's day. On Saturday I took both Olivia and Lindsey out for their birthdays. We went shopping to Lindsey's favorite stores, Justice and Barnes and Noble. Then a few others in the mall like Old Navy and Journey's to pick out a few things.


Lindsey picked Famous Dave's for Lunch.

This girl loves her meat. :)

I was shocked when Liv decided to try a rib. 
She liked it if it didn't have too much sauce on it.

After lunch Olivia wanted to go to Target. The girls picked Gak out for a fun activity/toy.
They've really enjoyed it.

I thought I was going to regret buying something that could potentially be messy 
and stain but they are so good at always putting it away out of the boys reach when
they're done. :)

On Sunday Lindsey had a meeting after church to meet her new Activity Day leader. Lindsey will have so much fun and get to know so many girls. It's great because she can just walk to the church behind us on Wednesdays!

After we got home we got food out and prepped for our family birthday gathering.
Lindsey, just so you know how blessed you are to have so many family members near by to celebrate your birth, here's the list (because I doubt it'll happen very often)

Yep 24...just for you Linds.

We had a great dinner of "Greens". Chicken broccoli casserole (Linds' fav), green salad, green lime 
jell-o, pasta salad,  and green & red grapes. There wasn't much left. It was great!


Here's what I caught on pics...


She's great on her rollerblades!

Cleo de Nile and Clawdeen Wolf to add to her Monster High Collection.


What girl doesn't like new clothes?
She even got a Justice gift card to buy some more.

Simple...purple frosting spray mist, zebra striped sugar sheets, Monster high photos. 
And I piped the black frosting.
Hey if I was great at cakes I'd be on Cake Boss. ;)

The boys favorite part of the day. They LOVE to sing Happy Birthday. 
(Actually Tyler was just singing it to me as he saw the photos of Lindsey's cake on here.)

Aaahhh Cake. White cake with butterscotch filling.
I guess Tyler likes the eating part a little better than the singing. 
This boy could eat cake all day!

    I can't believe Lindsey is so grown-up! It seems like just yesterday when I had her in nursery and we were singing her happy birthday for turning 3!! Where does the time go?

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
