A Good Day

Saturday was a good, laid back, wonderful day. The girls had parties to go to. I went shopping in the morning to by a birthday gift for Olivia's friend. While the girls were gone playing with friends Jaime and I went outside in the yard with the boys. It was warm, sunny and no wind! I put the swings back up on the playground and let the boys swing. They love it! While I was outside I took a scan of the yard and noticed all the small weeds popping up in the rock beds. One of the things I don't like about the weather at this time of year...warm enough for weeds to grow but too cold and windy to get me outside to pick them. Well Saturday was perfect to do just that. So I started weeding. Jaime came and helped me even. It was such a kind act of service that meant a lot to me. Thanks Jaime! You're wonderful.

The boys were done swinging and to keep them occupied and still exercising Jaime pulled out some nerf guns to play with the boys outside. I enjoyed weeding while watching them play. The boys were so cute as they reloaded and told the other not to shoot till they were ready.

After some work with immediate results the girls got home and we had a BBQ. I had found a recipe to make our own hamburgers and boy are they good. Paired with our favorite Burgerville spread we had excellent burgers.

Lori came to stay the night at our house after a regional singles activity. Her and I went to Barnes and Noble to browse then picked up our new favorite blizzards, chocolate strawberry. Jaime, Lori, and I enjoyed our blizzards then played  a new game she brought for the Xbox 360. We were laughing pretty good, it was so fun.

I love days like this. Just a good, feel-good day. :)

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
