Hey Everybody It's Christmas!

The kids came and woke us up at 6:30am. Christmas morning comes way too early for Jaime and I. lol But I do like going out and seeing the kids excitement to see what their Santa gifts are. I'd say everyone was really blessed this year. 

Lindsey got a new Apple watch. She'd been wanting a replacement for a while. 

Olivia was excited to get some Ugg clogs. 

Tyler received not one by two Lego Technic car build sets!

Aidan received a really cool Harry Potter train Lego set. He could hardly wait to put it together. 

Being the first time Grandma and Grandpa Morales have been with us over Christmas Eve they've never had their stockings filled and a Santa gift beside it. So they were pretty surprised to come out in the morning and see their load of goodies and this Lego Disney Up set. They love this Disney movie and are excited to build and put it together at home. 

Jaime also got a new Apple Watch. Now he won't have to charge it during the day so the battery lasts till he goes to bed. :)

I think I really scored! I'm excited to make my own healthier ice cream and protein ice cream flavors. 

Then on to opening the rest of the gifts under the Christmas tree!




Once gift opening was done, Aidan headed downstairs to get working on his multiple Lego sets he received. 

Per Morales tradition the men made omelettes for breakfast. I liked seeing Jaime and Marty working together and turning out some fancy looking omelettes for us. 

Tyler doesn't have the patience for Lego sets this advanced so Olivia was more than happy to step in and help build the cars. They're a lot bigger than I realized. Pretty cool!

Bel came over for breakfast as well and then we spent the afternoon visiting and watching football games together.

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
