Easter



Easter Baskets

We went simple this year. Not being able to just go to the store and browse for easter gifts. It was more of simple treats and coupons for the kids to use for things later. Lunch date with mom or dad. Stay up 30 minutes later. Pick movie for family movie night. Pick what's for dinner. The kids were happy and understanding. It was just something different out of our daily lives at home. 


Saturday was hunting eggs. I didn't think there were too many places to hide eggs in our bare back yard but I was wrong! It took a while to find the last couple eggs. 


Easter Sunday
I'm so grateful for this simplistic Easter that we had. It made our in home church meeting so special. We were able to talk about the resurrection and watch some of the videos the church as put out on the resurrection. As much as I miss attending church with our ward, I know that when we do get to meet together again I will miss our small sacrament meeting at home as well. 

I love my kids. I'm so grateful they're mine. 

 Aidan and Lindsey have quite the relationship. Watching the two of them at the table can be so funny. Today they were talking in Spanish. 

I'm not sure what makes their relationship the way it is but I love it. 

Lindsey wanted to make a pineapple upside down cake on Saturday. It was a great Easter dessert for us after dinner today. She did a great job. She found the recipe herself. 
  
Asked for help when she needed it. We had a good time working together. 

It was delicious!

We played some games in the evening. Aidan loves cover your assets. He was rolling in the dough as he was counting up his money. He hadn't changed from his church clothes so we all joked that the was some banker or business man counting all his money.

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
