Pieces of My Heart

I have gotten to know Chuck and Shirley Sickles and love them so much. They have great humor and hearts of gold. When I get the chance to help them with things like a yard sale I'm all over it. I was so sad to find out they decided to move to Utah. They have some family here but a lot more in Utah. They travel there all the time and decided they wanted to move back to the old homestead that belongs to Shirley's family. 
Today I went with Cheryl Yount, Kathie Baugh, and Marva Jones (sweet older ladies in our ward) to take lunch to Chuck and Shirley while their house is mostly boxed up. When Kathie asked me if I wanted to join her and the other two I was thrilled that these women considered me a friend and knew of the relationship I have with the Sickles; that they included me in this service. 


Cheryl Yount is another wonderful woman I've been able to get to know in our ward. She's battling cancer in her own way, naturally, and has the most positive outlook. We've had some special bonding moments as well. I love to learn from her. She has such a sweet and strong testimony and what she says always touches my heart so much and I think "Me TOO! That's exactly how I feel but I can't put it in to words like she does. "
Chuck wasn't too thrilled to have his picture taken as he's pretty dirty from working outside packing up stuff in their garages but I was grateful that he let us get pictures with him anyway. I will miss Chuck and Shirley so much. Not seeing them at church every week will take some getting used to.

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
