McClintock Stem Elementary

Wednesday evening the We ice shaved ice truck parked in Jaime's new school parking lot for a fund raiser for the PTO. A percentage of the sales went to the school's PTO. We went to support and enjoy some cold deliciousness. 
After we finished eating Jaime gave us a tour around the new school. It's a beautiful school. 





























Go McClintock STEM Owls!! (I'm a fan of the yellow and gray. Jaime did a good job picking these details don't you think? Colors, mascot, logo.)
There have been so many major changes thrown at Jaime to deal with in the process of this school getting here. I can think of about 6 pretty big ones off the top of my head and I know there's been dozens of small hiccups. He's been amazing at dealing with it all. It's definitely been a very stressful year. He's looking forward to kids being in the school and the school year getting started. This past month he really hasn't been himself. When he gets home he's still working. If not physically doing stuff for work I can tell it's on his mind. There have been a couple times that he's sat down at the table for dinner and kind of just sat there waiting for me to get everything finalized and on the table. That's not like him. Generally he helps get the last minute things on the table like milk, etc. It's ok. I know he doesn't mean to and sometimes when he does just sit like that it's only for a bit then he realizes there's still more to do so he will get up and help. It just shows me that he's got a lot on his mind. I'm not sure when things will be really settled. He helped the start up of the new Franklin Stem Elementary last year and it was crazy and stressful then. He was just being kind to help! It wasn't even part of his job. So I kind of have an idea of how he will be for the next month or so. Last year gave me a good glimpse but this could be a bit more stressful since it's the school he is principal at and he's responsible for everything. I have no doubt he will do an amazing job. He's moved up the ladder so quickly in this district and they love him because he's good at what he does. He wouldn't have been asked to take this position if they didn't know he was perfect for it.

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
