Mother's Day

This Mother's day was wonderful.
I woke up in the morning to find this amazing necklace on my vanity.
I've wanted a mother's necklace of some sort but I wanted something more modern.
Jaime hunted one down and I love it.

All my babies' names are there. :)

We went to church where the primary kids sang to their mom's in Sacrament Meeting.
Aidan was so excited to be able to go up this time. He just beamed! He didn't know all the words but he tried to sing and smiled at the the whole time. 
Next year all four of them will be up there singing to me. 

The girls gave me their gifts after church.

This is from Lindsey. So sweet.

Olivia gave me an adorable key chain and this list that her teacher wrote her answers to the questions on. You can tell what I've been reading recently. I decided to FINALLY read the Twilight Saga and then I've been reading the Monster High books with Lindsey. It must really stick out in Olivia's head what I have done in the past month that she mentioned them on her list.
The favorite stores she mentioned I think are really some of her favorites that she likes to go to with me.
I love her little answers. Truly out of the mouth of babes.


After church we went to spend the day with Jaime's family at his parent's and then to his aunt's house. His entire extended family always gets together for a huge dinner. It was great weather to eat outside and enjoy visiting. After that we went to my parent's house to see my family and wish my mom a happy Mother's Day. The kids had a great time seeing their grandparents again. We don't get to see them as often because there's just so much going on anymore it seems.
Hope you Mom's all had a great 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!!!!

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
