Monday Was a Busy Day...but Fun


I had to get a picture of Aidan's letter to Santa. He sat at the table on his own and would ask a bit of spelling as I was in the kitchen. He wants the Imaginext Millennium Falcon. It's actually a Playskool toy but the size of the characters with it was about the same as Imaginext so he groups them all together. 

Monday I went on my third field trip of the year. I accompanied Lindsey and the other sixth graders from her school to the planetarium. It was a cool learning video and presentation on the stars and planets. I'll admit, my kid is pretty knowledgable in this stuff!

After the kids got home from school I took them to the library for a hot cocoa with Olaf event. There were crafts for the kids (which they ran out of in the first 15 minutes. They weren't expecting a turn out of half the city to show up.) There was story time, hot chocolate, and pictures with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf. 


We didn't stay too long as it was way to crowded but the kids were able to get their picture taken. After the library event we headed to Aidan's school for his 1st Grade Music Program.


My little singer. He knows all the words. I hear him sing all the time at home. He enjoys going to music at school.

Today is Jaime's birthday. With so much going on we didn't do anything for his birthday today. He did get to see the new Star Wars movie last Thursday night, and Friday night! And we celebrated his birthday with family the night before. I don't want to down play Tyler or Jaime's birthdays because they're so close to Christmas but when there is so much going on during that time it can make it hard to get the birthday stuff in. Maybe next year I need to plan the month before to get a good birthday celebration in for Jaime. :) But tonight was fun spending time with the family and then when the kids got in bed Jaime and I wrapped Christmas gifts. Thank you for helping with that by the way Jaime. ;)

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
