Thanksgiving Break


Thanksgiving Break is here! We were lucky to have Summer and the kids come stay at our house a few days before Brian came for the holiday. We were able to celebrate Ezra's birthday while he was here. The Christensen's came over to celebrate with us too. 

Adam and Brandi stopped by our house for a couple hours before we met up with the rest of the family to celebrate Grandpa Noble's birthday. We had a good game on to watch. Watching a game with friends and family around always seems like a party for me and makes the game more fun. 

We were able to use the cafeteria at Jaime's school to have pizza and salad for dinner. Emily's family was here, Mel and Tim, Adam and Brandi's family, Lori and Stuart, and our family were all there. 

The kids were able to use the gym to run around and play. It helped mom's house to not be a crowded and noisy place for Grandpa's dinner. Plus it was easier to clean up and there was lots of space for everyone. 

Jaime took some time to sit and hold Ryan.

My turn!

Birthday cakes for Ezra and Grandpa. They share the same birth date. November 21st. 

Having Brian and Summer at our house means we get a little quiet time with Henry after the other kids go to bed. This kid is a character. It was cute to see him lay down by Jaime to watch some TV. 

Maybe and me. My Auntie shirt was given to me by Marcus and Aide for my birthday. :)

We celebrated Thanksgiving by having our main dinner with Jaime's family at Marty and Diana's house. Lindsey took some time to play with Liandrew. 

We always make an effort to go to both houses during the holidays. We went to my parent's to see everyone who was there. And eat again as always. :)

Little Henry used to be my side kick and would come to me all the time. This trip he didn't want to come sit with me so I had to grab him and tickle and kiss him. 

He liked it. Maybe he didn't think he wanted my loves but I know he enjoyed them. 


We sat around the table playing Telestrations. We cracked up laughing till our stomachs and cheeks hurt.

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
