First Day of School 2017

Time to get back to schedules and routines. School started for these three on the 29th.


The boys are both at Maya Angelou Elementary and in 2nd and 3rd Grade. Aidan has the same teacher as last year. He's pretty excited about that. 


Olivia is in 6th grade, her last year at McClintock Elementary. Next year she will be in middle school. I really hope this year kind of helps her prepare for it. She's not eager to grow up so she may have a hard time with it. 

And the sisters by heart. Emily is taller than I am but I feel like she could be mine. I love her like I love Olivia. I love their friendship and pray it doesn't dwindle in middle school because the likely hood of them being in the same house of classes is very slim so they may not see each other at school other than on the bus to and from school. 

Because Lindsey is in 8th grade, top class of the school she didn't start school the same day as the others. Same at the high school. They make it so the 7th and 9th graders get the first day of school at a new building all to themselves to help them maneuver through the halls to find their classes. So with on Lindsey home on the first day of school we did some last minute school clothes shopping for her then went to Zip's for lunch. During this shopping trip we found that we wear the same size pants and shirts. What?!?!? Wow my little girl is growing into a young woman. 

Finally her first day came. She didn't think she wanted school to start but as she left for the bus stop with her friends she was happily chatting it up. 

The principal was walking through the classes and took this picture of Lindsey and sent it to Jaime. Yeah I think this is going to be a pretty good year for her.

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
