Tyler's 12th Birthday Party

The day is finally here. Thursday December 16...Tyler turns 12! He  had his favorite breakfast, dipping eggs on toast. 

Before Jaime left for work we let Tyler open his last gift from us. 

He loves dinosaurs still! He has a good imagination and will play with Dinos as well as read up on them and even playing interactive games on the iPad. 

Friday was a short day of school because it's the last day before winter break. The early release made it so much easier to be able to get Tyler and his friends in to a laser tag facility in the afternoon. 

They all had such a good time playing and celebrating Tyler. 

I thought it was cute Lindsey and Olivia came to play with the boys. Everyone had so much fun. The boys were all so good. After cupcakes and gifts I bought them all to our house where they all played Smash Bros. on the Nintendo Switch for a while before they all had to go home. Tyler was very thankful I set up a fun birthday for him. 

We do large/more expensive birthday parties for our kids when they turn 8, 12, and 16.  Because of the covid pandemic we will be doing a big party for each of our kids within a years time. Lindsey's "16" party  1920's speakeasy theme murder mystery dinner on her 17th bday in March 2021, Aidan's "12" party with a large group of friends going to an escape room on his 13th bday in September 2021, Tyler's 12th bday party going to play laser tag in December 2021, and Olivia's 16th bday party in February 2022. Time for me to start finding out what Olivia would like to do for her Sweet 16. :)

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
