Mid March Happenings

March 15
Free Ice Cream cones at Dairy Queen!
Tyler, Aidan, Olivia, Emily, Lindsey
I thought Emily's mom knew I had taken Emily with me. Apparently when Emily went to ask, her mom wasn't there so she asked her sister to let her mom know where she was. That message never got sent so when Susi saw my post on Facebook she said she didn't even know Emily was with me! But glad she knew she was safe. :) Emily comes around and goes places with us so often she could be my third daughter. She's hilarious and when she and Olivia get together they crack me up. Oh and I love Lindsey's gorgeous eyes in this picture. Now that she has contacts I do like being able to see her pretty blue eyes better. 

Warmer weather!! We're getting up in the mid 70s. Kids feel like they're dying of heat already. Boy what are they going to do when we are in the 90s and 100s this summer!?

I took the kids to the library for a Harry Potter event.

He looks just like Harry Potter, no?

My little leprechaun. 

Olivia enjoys scavenger hunts. She asked me to make one up so she and her friends could hunt for treasure. It seemed like the logical thing to do on St. Patrick's day right? I didn't have a pot of gold for them to find but I had some goodies in the pantry that they were all pleased to find at the end of their clues.

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!!!!

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
