Day Out With Thomas!

Friday July 13, 2012

Are you superstitious and worry bad things will happen on Friday the 13th?
Well we decided to plan something very fun and exciting for our kids.

We told them we were going somewhere as a surprise for them. 
It was hard for them to take this drive and not know where we were going. 
We put on the movie Day of the Diesels for them to watch. They enjoy watching Thomas the Train
movies and this is a fairly new one they'd only seen once when we rented it months ago.

We got to Snoqualmie Middle School and parked then got on to a school bus.
Kids were a bit confused. Lindsey thought it was going to be a boring surprise. :)

As the bus arrived to our distention 3 minutes later the kids saw THOMAS the TRAIN!
Their expressions were great. They were so excited.



On for the train ride.

Tyler enjoyed the train and seeing the water when we got to Snoqualmie Falls.





There were different trains to climb aboard and check out.
The kids were each given a map of the places to go while they were visiting.
If they went to each booth and got it stamped they were able to get a free prize.


Tyler loves ice cream!

(Liv was happy until Lindsey accidentally hurt her arm trying to pull her closer.
She was fine after the picture.)


Model trains


There was  a tent that had lots of train sets for kids to actually be aloud to play with!


Aidan getting a train tattoo. He doesn't look happy here but he really was excited to see 
James the red engine on his arm.


playing with trains...some more.

They got to meet Sir Topham Hatt.
Tyler was content just to wave to him and give a high five. 
He preferred to not be in the picture.


Lindsey, Aidan, Tyler

After we left we stopped in to see Jaime's parents. They were planning on coming with us but their busy work schedules just didn't let them get away.


So the kids got to tell Grandma and Grandpa about their exciting day and play for a while.

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
