Starting 2013

The first week of 2013 has been a good one for us. Slowly easing us in I suppose. Nothing too hectic or crazy. Just every day living at it's best! 

Tyler was given mostly Thomas the Train sets for Christmas.

Jaime helped set them all up together a couple days after Christmas. The kids loved it. We let them stay up the remainder of the Holiday Break.

We went to visit friends on Thursday the 3rd. Tyler and Carson are big super hero fans. 
Tyler says, "Hulk mash!"

We had to cut the visit short when Aidan threw up a little bit. Poor kid slept most of the time on my lap. He kept telling me he was tired. And boy was he ever. We had so many late nights and so many fun, busy days  that he was so worn out. The rest of the kids weren't ready to leave. The dads and kids had just started a game of dodgeball at the church when I called Jaime to let him know Aidan needed to go home. We got home at 5:30, Aidan went straight to bed, slept till 8:30 and woke up as good as ever...and ready to EAT!

On Friday everyone pitched in to help clean the house. Jaime wanted to spend his last week day off with us together. So after we cleaned we went out to lunch and then went shopping. The girls used some Christmas money to buy a little something. I was given some boots for Christmas that weren't the size they were supposed to be. On the bottom there was a 5 1/2 sticker. The boots were just too big. I realized that under the sticker was a 6 imprinted on the sole. No wonder they were too big. Jaime sent them back and then bought me something else on this day for me. Sweetheart. :)

Waiting for lunch. The kids were getting along so well. 


The Tooth Fairy has been busy!
Olivia lost her first top front tooth Saturday night (the 5th).
I asked her if she wanted me to pull the other one out since it was more loose than the one she just lost. 
She said she wasn't ready to have two teeth missing. 
The very next day she came up to me and said she was ready to have it out. 
Ok, here we go! She numbed her gum with an ice cube, I used a tissue for some grip on her tooth and popped that puppy out. 
The best part...drinking through a straw in the tooth hole. 


Sundaes with Dad!

And scripture reading with dessert and Christmas stocking candy.

School started back up on the 7th. Due to freezing rain we had a two-hour delay that made Lindsey's day. She wasn't ready to go back to school because she had so much fun during her Holiday Break. After having one delay start the girls have been happy to go to school everyday!
We've gotten back into the normal hum drum of life now. Sounds good.

    It sounds like you had such a great holiday break. It was fun to see you for the short amount of time we did.

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
