Mother's Day

One of my favorite parts of Mother's Day is getting my picture taken with my babies. They've all grown so much. They look so adorable and beautiful. Tyler has now passed Aidan in height and he's darn proud of it. 

Lindsey, oh my Lindsey. She's so funny and fun to be around. I'm so blessed to be her mom and I'm grateful for the relationship that we have. I hope we can always have a good relationship. 

My mom! Mom and I are friends. I do understand more now that I'm a mom but we weren't really friends when I was younger. I want a different relationship with my girls than what I had with my mom. I hope the things I do and talk about with my girls will help achieve that. My mom grew up a little more old school/conservative and I want something different with my girls when I teach them things. So far I think we're doing pretty good. Lindsey and Olivia and I can have good talks and laughs. I had that with mom when I was younger but not quite the same. I was nervous to talk to her about some things and I want that different with my girls. So far I've had talks with my girls that I didn't have because I was afraid to with my mom. But even though things were different with my mom when I was growing up we've become good friends. I do miss being able to see her and hang out and do things together like I used to when we lived in Grandview. Pasco isn't super far away but it's not the same as living half a mile down the road.

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
