Maya Angelou Color Run and Carnival

Jaime, Aidan, Tyler, and I registered to run the Maya Angelou Color Run on Saturday the 10th. We took the girls and their friends, Sophia and Emily, to come join in the fun at the carnival after the run. 


Waiting for the run to begin!

Tyler and other runners stretching before the run. 

Tyler was my running partner and Aidan was Jaime's. Tyler did a great job. He stopped a couple times but when he was ready to go again he took off like a rocket. 

My colorful runners!

After the run we headed to the carnival for some fun games and activities.

Petting the bunnies!

Up the hill with the weight ball!

Olivia and her balloon parrot. 

Emily and Olivia with their balloons.

Aidan tried a bean bag toss with silly glasses that distort your vision.

So this is what Tyler would look like in glasses. :)

He was a pretty good shot!

We all had so much fun. As crazy as I thought it would be I thought for sure I'd feel the anxiety of trying to keep tabs on everyone and feel stretched to act like I was having a good time, but honestly I didn't feel that way at all! I did enjoy myself and seeing all the kids having fun was good. I think it's safe to say that if the events are done again next year we would like to go. 
It was definitely a family friendly event and it was good physical activities that exhausted some of my boys excess energy. ;)

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!!!!

Image
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
