Life in the stress free zone

Since everything was done with the reception all sorts of time and relaxation came in to play! I've been playing with my kids, sewing, hanging out with friends more often, etc. With the school year coming to an end I just want to spend more time with them it seems. 

Jaime has been setting up the tennis net quite a bit doing tennis drills with the kids. They really enjoy it. 

Pajamas make awesome tennis attire!

For an activity day Lindsey's group used tissue paper to design modest clothes. Lindsey and Daphne paired up to work together. 

Lindsey designed Daphne's…

and Daphne designed Lindsey's! Her leader told me that Lindsey really enjoyed the activity. Lindsey said her favorite part was designing. Her leader told me that Lindsey and quite the knack for it. 

Lindsey received a HAAP (Hispanic Academic Achievers Program) award. Right now the younger kids just get an award but the seniors get scholarships. Some received $9,000-$13,000 dollar scholarships. 


Good job Lindsey. It'll be great if these awards turn in to scholarships when she's a senior!

Lindsey has had a busy month. She had braces put on. Before…

After! She was a champ at handling this too. She did hurt for a few days. She enjoyed smoothies and shakes but I think she really handled it well. She seems to have gotten accustomed to them pretty quick.

Aidan has his kinder play/music program "The Little Red Hen." He's been singing these songs for weeks! He is such a cute singer. 


A birthday party isn't a party in the Morales family unless there's a piñata!

Jaime's cousin celebrated her 2nd birthday. Having so many relatives nearby these kids' birthday parties are huge and lots of fun, especially for kids with the piñata and bouncy houses!

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
