Wednesday April 5th: Spring Break 2017 Continued

We spent this morning just on the beach. Jeremiah was back to work and Emily's kids were back in school. It was nice she let them stay home from school yesterday so the kids could have a good day to play and explore together. 


I love this rock with the single tree and lighthouse on it. It makes for some pretty pictures. 


Aidan likes to construct things. He was trying to build another teepee. Later Jaime went over to help him. There wasn't enough tall logs to make a good one but the project and thinking is still good for Aidan. I wish I could see the future with this one. 

Sisters! and a little tot in there too. :)

We would just walk slowly along the water visiting. Quite the peaceful morning. 


After going to the beach we had lunch at Emily's before we left. But before we could go Tyler needed a chance to hold Rachel. 

He loves babies so much. I almost feel sad that's he's my baby. He'd be a great help if we had another little baby around here. His look in this picture is so sweet. It says it all, he's a baby lover. :)

After lunch we headed to Roseburg to stay the night. We had a fun visit with Mel and Tim and Jared and Michelle's family. Mel spoils you like you're her favorite visitors and prepared a wonderfully large breakfast Thursday morning. We went the rest of the way home Thursday. It was a short trip but we wanted a couple days home to do stuff around the house and have some down time before Jaime had to go back to work and the kids back to school.

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
