Snow Day for School AND Church

We got a bunch of snow! It was a nice day to stay inside. School was canceled but Jaime still needed to go in to work. So the kids and I stayed warm inside, played games, watched movies, and I baked fresh bread. 

It was good to have then interact with one another without having a screen in front of their faces. 

I've always loved snow days. It's not like I have to go anywhere anyway but I like the change in the week of having the kids home when normally they'd be gone. 

Saturday night we had freezing rain. A lot. Just before I went to bed that night I checked my email and I'd received an email at that instant from the bishop. Church would be canceled the next morning for our entire stake. It's not often that happens! We didn't mind the cancelation because we now have 8:30am church. It's nice to get up whenever you wake and have a good breakfast with the family. 

Tyler being on top of things woke up and showered and got ready for church before anyone saw him and could tell him church was canceled. He didn't believe Aidan at first when he said it was canceled. 

As soon as we confirmed it he ran upstairs to change and went outside to slide around and break up the ice. He was taking a video and was able to record Koda running out to see him. As soon as that pup hit the icy snow he slid and looked like Bambi trying to walk on ice. 😂 It was the cutest and funniest sight.

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
