Happy Birthday Lindsey

We didn't really get to celebrate Lindsey's birthday in the most exciting way. Me not feeling well and Jaime working late, made the day not really centered around Lindsey. We decided to go out for dinner to Texas Roadhouse. It's a sit-down restaurant where all our kids will eat. They don't always suggest McDonald's anymore when we ask where they want to go eat. I personally could pass on McD's any day. The kids mainly like the playground though. Another we've recently found they like is Bob's Burgers and Brew but we skip on the brew! lol The oldest three love steak and ribs. Tyler still sticks to the cheesy mac and cheese however he likes to crack open peanuts and eat them at Texas Roadhouse. 

I love it when they get along so well! We have so much fun hanging out as a family any more. 


Everyone around us sang, cheered and yelled a Texas Roadhouse happy birthday yee haw! She was so cute sitting up there in the saddle not sure if she should be embarrassed or think it was cool. I think the free ice cream helps make up for it. :)

Saturday we had the family birthday celebration…well sort of. Turned out we just celebrated 3 different times. Aunt Bel came at noon to visit and give Lindsey the gifts from Bel, Chris, and Marcus.

Princess Ariel Doll

Marida doll from the movie Brave

Bracelet making kit from the Forever After High dolls. Bel also brought Uncle Marcus's gift even though he couldn't make it. It was a movie. Kind of his M.O. :) Then Bel had to leave. Shortly after she left Grandma and Grandpa Naylor and Great-grandma and Grandpa Noble arrived. 
We had home made pizza and salad for lunch at Lindsey's request. 

Their gift to Lindsey was money. Not tangible yet! They opened up a savings account and will deposit money in it every year. She's pretty happy with the thought of it. She'll be even more happy when the day comes and she can get that money in her hands!

The famous 'Birthday Cake.' She blew all 10 of her candles out in one blow. Hope her wish was a good one!

My mom made a beautiful dress for Lindsey. Apparently Lindsey had been eyeing this burgundy fabric at my mom's so she surprised Lindsey with the dress. Perfect fit!
After they left, a couple hours later Grandma and Grandpa Morales arrived. They announced to Lindsey that they planned on taking her shopping so she could pick out a new bike! Grandpa wanted her to SHOP around. So they went to multiple stores to check out what there was before she decided. She picked the bike she saw at the first store they went to. :) 

After they bought the bike they picked up dinner for everyone and brought it back to the house so we could eat and hang out together. 
It was a wonderful day filled with family through out it all. Lindsey is truly a special girl and deserved the day she got. I love you Lindsey! I love all the hugs you come and give me 'just because.' I love your  desire to learn and read…everything! You have begun to really recognize when you feel the Spirit and I like when you share that with me. Remember those feelings Lindsey! You will need to for future times. I appreciate you writing your testimony in cards and notes to me and family. You have a great understanding of the Plan of Happiness at such a young age and I know it's because the Lord needs you for something. Stay strong in the gospel and what you know to be true my dear Lindsey!
Happy birthday sweet heart.

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
