My Birthday Weekend

The kids came home from school for my birthday weekend! I love having all 5 of them home. They were so sweet to want to come spend time with me for my birthday. I took them to Middleton's Fall Festival. I feel like they were there to amuse me. Playing in the corn pit...

Tug of war. 4 against 1. The 4 little ones were able to pull out the win! 

Corn maze photos! We went through a couple of corn mazes. Tyler is surprisingly good at them! 

The kids had a blast shooting the potato blasters at cars. 

Aside from the potato guns we went down the zip lines, slides, tried the fresh donuts and felt like we were walking around the fair!

The newly weds.

So cute. And they really don't know just how much it meant to me for them to come home this weekend. 

We had such a good time...and couldn't have asked for better fall weather!

Olivia wanted to pick some flowers in their flower gardens with me. She bought the bucket and scissors they sell and then you can go and cut as many flowers as you can fit into your bucket. When she first mentioned it I said it's a fun idea but it's ok she doesn't need to spend her money on it. But then she said it's what she wanted to do. She wanted to pick flowers with me. Melt my heart!

She's such a goofy sweetheart. :) I love her so much. I love my kids so much! How did I get so lucky to have the kids I do? I'm blessed beyond measure. I really am!

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...

Time with James

Image
  I invited my nephew James to come stay with us for a week. He's been so much fun to have around. We've had good Sunday and FHE meetings with him, game time - lots of games, and I've just enjoyed his humor and seeing him spend time with my kids.  More games and smoothies. And having three boys to mow the lawn sure gets the job done quick! They were so helpful and happy to work together.  A cute Koda napping picture for us to enjoy. 😊

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is always a fun time for our family. I love getting together with all of my family and all of Jaime's. However as our family gets bigger and everyone has things going on it does make it more hectic for us to get around to go see everyone. We tried to make things a little less hectic and easy by not trying to make it to everything like we have in the past. On Christmas Eve afternoon we went to my parent's house and built gingerbread houses with those who were there. It was fun doing something simple and being able to visit. Over the hills to grandmother's house we go. Aunt Lori and Aidan paired up to build a house. Tyler and I built one, rather I built and Tyler licked. I'm not eating any of this one. ;) Lindsey and Uncle Jon built a skyscraper office building. Olivia and Grandma Marcia built one together. Aunt Elizabeth helped Great-grandma Noble build her very first gingerbread house! Grandma was very excit...
