My First Turkey

I had a turkey in my freezer and it needed to be used. Sorry to admit it but I have never cooked a turkey before. I never needed to! Well we got to talking about it with Jaime's mom and she said she'd help me make one and we'd have everyone over to help eat it! So, when would be a good time to have everyone over? No better way to get Jaime's family around than to plan a yummy dinner and watch the Seattle Seahawks play! So the day was set for Saturday, January 10. Everyone says that roasting a turkey is easy. I never believed it was hard I just never had tried it. Sure enough, it was easy and it came out perfect! 


The meal was so delicious and we had so much food and dessert. It was nice to divvy it up and send some left overs with others. 


I've got to admit, it was a lot of fun to have everyone dressed up to show their Hawk pride. It just added to our fun little "party." We were missing Chris though. He misses out on a lot of our fun because of his work schedule.

I've always routed for our home teams, Mariners, Seahawks, etc however my kids, I'd say, are BIG fans. :) I get a kick out of hearing them talk about the Seahawk players or when they see pictures of them around town or in magazines. Even Tyler! And then there's the teams the boys picked on their own to be fans of. Tyler likes the Miami Dolphins and Aidan likes the Dallas Cowboys. No sway from family, the boys are sports fans. :)

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

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

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
