Newest Niece!

Elizabeth was scheduled to have a cesarian to deliver her little baby girl on September 21st so we were surprised to get a text this morning from John with a photo of their little Jocelyn Ann. Elizabeth's water had broke so she went to the hospital to have her early. After all the kids were off to school I drove to Grandview to ride up to Yakima with Dad, Grandpa, and Lori. 

Look at this little bundle! 


We really had a good time all being together. We seem to quite often. :) Elizabeth was having a hard time not laughing when mom was struggling to take a selfie of all of us. 

Elizabeth's stomach was so from the c-section so she tried not to laugh when we were all cracking jokes. 

Grandpa was so sweet. 



Congratulations Elizabeth and John. Just on Sunday I gave a talk in Sacrament meeting on how I know Heavenly Father loves us and I used Elizabeth's experience of adopting and finally getting pregnant when they had waited so long. I felt it was God showing James and Malachi that he loved them. Elizabeth and John had a hard time understanding why they couldn't get pregnant but if they had conceived they never would have decided to foster to adopt and those cute boys wouldn't have made it into their home, hearts, and family. Heavenly Father was helping those boys get to a place where they can be loved by a family. It's a miracle to me of God's love for His children. 

Ahh me in deep laughter 

Much better. I don't look like I'm going to bite anyone. Hahah

So precious. This day was a good day. 

After we left the hospital we went to Costco for lunch and for Dad and Lori to pick up a couple things. Grandpa and I waited and finished our lunch while the others shopped.

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

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

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
