Elite Choir Experiences

Both Lindsey and Olivia didn't want to do choir or sing in front of others. They both were part of some amazing choir experiences this year and they both LOVE to sing and be in choir now. 

Olivia was selected by her music teacher to go and participate in a day long "choir camp" type thing to sing with kids from all over the district. Choristers from middle and high school came to work with the kids. 

There were so many kids! The musical numbers all sounded so good. Lots of talent in this group. 

While Olivia (and Emily) spent the day at choir, Jaime and I and the rest of the kids were at a lacrosse tournament with Aidan. Luckily it was in Kennewick so when it was time for the choir concert I was able to leave lacrosse and go watch Olivia. When it was over I took Olivia and Emily back to the lacrosse tournament.

These are the eight students chosen from Olivia's school. 


After Aidan's game it was already past dinner time and we needed to eat. We decided to go out to Fiesta Mexican restaurant. It was such a fun evening. This lady in this picture is making us fresh guacamole. It is so good. Even Lindsey, Olivia, and Tyler like to eat it. 

Dancing to YMCA
We were there during the live music. The kids really got in to it and had fun singing and dancing. 

When the Macarena came on the kids were doing the moves in their seat and this gentleman saw them dancing it and asked Emily to show him how it's done. It was fun to watch her teach him. The guy was pretty silly, however he had been drinking so that's probably why he was so interested in getting up and dancing in front of people. Hahaha
I sent photos to Emily's mom Susi, while she was out of town, so she could see what Emily was up to. She was glad to see Emily was having a blast.
We had so much fun. These kids were hilarious. 
I love their facial expressions. 😆😆😆😆 What a good day.

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
