Fall

Uncle Dave, Aunt Chris, Jessica, Tony, and Jasmine came for a short visit last weekend. 
My girls love to play with Jasmine. Since they recently saw each other during the summer they were super excited when they found out Jasmine was coming in October. 

Fall produces...

and keeps them busy for a while.

We have had such warm weather the past couple weeks. Tyler looks like he's soaking in some rays but really he's standing under the leaves Lindsey was shaking off the tree...she's up there even though you can't see her. 

How cute is this! Little boy, BIG rake. :)

I Love my Uncle Dave. There's a spot just for him in my heart. :)

Our good-byes Saturday evening were many and long. It's hard to say good bye sometimes. We enjoyed having them here and wished they could stay longer. Jaime and I were discussing how it'd be fun to take a trip to go see my sister in Vancouver and then head on down to visit with Dave and family there in Portland. I don't really care to travel too often so we don't go visit others much. I should probably change that, huh. :)

After they left, Jaime and I stayed a while longer to visit with Lori, my parents, and grandparents. My mom thought this view was funny. We have large TVs in the house and yet we're all crowded around a small screen on a cell phone to watch something on YouTube. Good times.

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
