Getting Out

It's Spring! We're definitely out and about more now that it's warming up. There's sports going on and programs we're attending. 

On the first day of Spring Dairy Queen gives out free ice cream cones!

While we were there Uncle Dick texted me asking if we'd like to meet them at 7:30 at DQ. I texted him saying we were already there so he asked if it was alright they come then to visit with us. I said sure! The kids and I moved to a large booth and visited with Uncle Dick and Corinne while enjoying our yummy free ice cream cones. I felt bad Jaime missed the free ice cream again. Last year he wasn't able to go with us because he had a late night meeting just like this night. Maybe next year!

Lindsey is in the 7th grade choir


And the treble choir.
I really enjoyed this music concert. They had some fun songs that made you feel like dancing. Lindsey is really enjoying choir. I'm so glad. I loved being in choir. The older you get the better it is too. Kids take it more seriously and you get in to more advanced, fun songs. 

Aidan is really enjoying lacrosse. I don't like sitting in the rain during some practices. Aidan is on the K-2 team. Next year he will be on the 3-4 team. He's the size of the kinder and first graders on his team this year! It's not a contact sport at this age but it'll start next year. I do worry about that. Aidan isn't that aggressive but he's stepping it up when they have drills of trying to steal the ball and keeping the ball away from the opponent. Aidan's the shorter one on the left. LOL

Now that it's getting warmer we will be out more for lacrosse games, tennis matches, and Tyler's baseball once that starts after Spring Break. Olivia is doing volleyball after school on Thursdays and Fridays but it's more of a camp to help them learn to play. All for fun. So I don't get to go watch volleyball games. It's been crazy enough with Aidan and Lindsey's sports and trying to get to Lindsey's choir stuff all in the same evening! Not sure how I'm going to do once Tyler starts baseball. Jaime is still at work when all this has to get started so I'm running around like crazy it seems. I don't know how families do this year round. It's really tough. Worth it? I sure hope so! ;)

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
