A Surprise Visit

Emily Daw surprised Olivia with a weekend visit. The Young Women of our ward had a weekend ski trip planned. Emily was able to go to it as well so she went to the church where the girls were supposed to meet. When Olivia got to the church she was shocked to hear Emily was there and they ran for each other and embraced in the sweetest hug. They were so happy they cried some happy tears. They were connected the entire weekend. 


They stayed Friday night at the Bishop's cabin for a young women sleep over. Turns out it rained all night so they were not able to go skiing/snowboarding because it was too slushy. Instead they spent Saturday at the cabin playing games, shooting, riding in the 4 wheeler.

It was enough of a crazy day that these two slept in the car on the way home. Of course, next to each other. I wish I could keep Emily!

We had Emily here Saturday night, all day Sunday and then she left Monday morning. 

Emily braided Lindsey and Olivia's hair together. I said it's the "Get along with your sister" braid. haha No fighting or your hair gets braided till you are happy with each other again. 

The goodbyes are the hardest. Breaks my heart seeing this. Olivia was so sad to see her go again. I'm grateful for technology that allows these two to text, make phone calls, and FaceTime each other. It's still not the same as being able to hang out after school, late nights, and messing around laughing till your stomach hurts but they're still able to be connected.

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
