Halloween 2015

As our kids get older we seem to have more Halloween events each year. 

Olivia was invited to a friends birthday/halloween party. She makes a pretty wicked pirate!

These two are peas in a pod. They are the best of friends. Emily and Olivia. Emily is at our house a lot. She's got a soft spot in my heart as well..

Aidan and Tyler got to dress up for school. Aidan was going to be the dinosaur again but with some kind reasoning he let Tyler take a turn to wear it. Aidan wore it two years in a row. He liked the skeleton costume as well. I'm grateful for his desire to be a peacemaker and let Tyler have a turn to wear it.  They were both extremely happy boys for Halloween. 

Lindsey wanted a costume to go with the mask Aunt Bel brought her from Italy. She came up with a Peacock Princess on her own. I wasn't the least bit surprised. She has been some sort of princess many times for halloween. 
She wore it the first time at her school's Halloween Math and Costume night. 

She LOVED her costume. 

On October 31st Darin and Christy and their family flew in. They have moved here! I was so excited to see them. We drove to the airport to help get their stuff since it wouldn't all fit in their small compact rental car. I got lucky and not only picked up their luggage but we got to take Makeala and Elise home with us while Darin and Christy picked up their rental car. 
I'm excited to have them closer.

The kids ready to go out Trick-or-Treating!
Daphne Christensen, Makaela Naylor, Hailey Furness, Olivia Morales, Lindsey Morales, Aidan Morales, Tyler Morales

We  had some rain but it didn't put a damper on anything. After they were done walking outside they came back and unloaded their goodies. Lindsey and her friends stayed around and hung out and watch a halloween movie It's kind of been tradition the last 3 years to let the girls have friends after trick-or-treating. I'd rather them have fun with friends at our house than want to stay out later on the streets with friends. Maybe next year I'll do some games like I've said I wanted to do for the last two years.

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
