Another Birthday to Celebrate!

Jaime's birthday was a bit low key this year. Not because we didn't want to celebrate but because Olivia had a tournament that we were at all day. Bel came to watch as well so we were able to wish her a happy birthday as well. Olivia did great at the Best of the West tournament so it was a good day. We came home for dinner and then had a simple dessert of chocolate scotcheroos. 

He's like me, picking a dessert other than cake. We don't particularly care for cake and would rather have a small treat like this instead. Happy birthday Jaime! I love celebrating with you. 😊
Then he opened his gifts. A new pair of nice work shoes. He always has such classy shoes for work. He looks sharp. I also got him a new game called Herd Mentality. It's a great game for a group and even a small crowd. We're excited to play it with others this month!

Today was also Olivia's turn to open Koda's advent calendar. That puts a smile on anyone's face. Look how eager Koda is for her to open it. 

It's a toy today! The tur-keister. He sure loves his toys.

Living Life Day to Day

My kids are wonderful. They are growing up into wonderful children. I love them so much. We've been very busy with this and that recently. This will be a long recap of some of what's been going on. :) The Primary Program was Sunday Sept 22. (I forgot to get a picture of them on that day but I did get pics of them the previous Sunday.) All four of them memorized their parts and stood at the microphone to say them without any hesitation at all. They were cute to watch singing the songs. Aidan was funny to watch with his gestures and making a heart with his hands through some of the songs. My parents and grandparents were able to come and watch. It was a special treat for the kids to have them there.  The Sunday this picture was taken there were hundreds of yellow butterflies all over the purple flowering bushes. It's hard to see them but on the left you can see one up close.  Tyler had his first talk in primary the Sunday after the program. He stood up to the mi...

Tolo

The end of January Olivia asked her friend Jonas to Tolo. He had an arm in a sling for the same injury as Olivia. However his was worse and needed surgery. I thought her way of asking was clever and cute.  The night before Tolo the girls got together for a Galentine's night of food, pampering and prepping for the dance with facials, and watching a movie.  They had quite the spread! Time for facials! I love this picture of Brynnlee, Olivia, and Makeda busting up laughing. Knowing your kids have good friends is a wonderful thing.  They watched Pride and Prejudice.  Ready for Tolo! Cute cute! The group went to downtown Richland to get some Urban like pictures.  Well Jonas said something funny! They both have their slings off but they felt the handicap sign was appropriate for them. 😂 What a group of girls. Glad they have fun together.  I love the lights! After pictures they went for dinner.  They had a lovely spread of street tacos at a friend's house. A...

THREE Years?!?!?!

On Wednesday September 3rd, 2008 I was at my Mom's house. I started having small contractions that kept getting more frequent. When I would be talking to my mom and have to stop just to breathe we decided that I was in labor and would probably be going to the hospital that night rather than the next morning for my scheduled induction. We had dinner there and after dinner I told Jaime to go ahead and go to mutual as he was in the Young Men's presidency. I wasn't in enough pain and didn't want to go to the hospital too early. Lindsey and Olivia would stay the night since they were going to anyway so Jaime and I could just get up Thursday morning and head to the hospital to be induced into labor. We got the girls in to bed and I said good bye. My brother Darin was home and he drove me to the hospital at 8:30 p.m. I sent Jaime a message I was going and he and my dad (our ward's bishop) would meet me there. I got checked in by 9 p.m. and the nurse checked me and said I...
