Happy 250th America!

Before heading to Rexburg for the Fourth of July Lindsey showed me how excited she was. 😄 Hahaha. Her and Aidan have this gift of intertwining their toes without using their hands to put their toes together! She will kill me for posting this but I think it's impressive and actually really good for your feet!

We went to Rexburg to spend time time with the kids there before heading on to Utah for the Naylor Family Reunions. 

Lindsey and Isaac left the next day to head to Meridian to spend the holiday with his family. They were kind to let us stay at their apartment and the boys stayed at Olivia and Chaz's place. While we were there Jaime thought he'd take a look at their garbage disposal that was no longer working. Just like his dad, he's become quite the Mr. Fixit, AKA "Maintenance" to the rest of the Morales family 😂. Jaime had it fixed and working in no time so Lindsey didn't have to worry about coming home to a stinky sink and waiting for their maintenance request to management to be taken care of. 

We made a stop into the Nitro station. A convenience store that some friends from Pasco have opened up since they moved to Idaho. It's fun to drop them a line every now and then when we stop in. 

In the evenings we hung out at Olivia and Chaz's apartment. Koda looked too cute snuggled up on Olivia's Minky blanket next to her. But aside from that cuteness, we had so much fun being together with Chaz and Olivia. Chaz took some time to help Tyler learn some things on the guitar too. 

We enjoyed the Fourth of July parade and fireworks.

We had originally planned to go to Idaho Falls for the fireworks but on the 3rd we drove to IF to watch another show that a family puts on for the community. From our understanding it's quite the show. Unfortunately, shortly after we got there the owner of the production had a heart attack before anything even got started so they canceled it. We decided not to drive back on the 4th and just watched the IF fireworks on TV. It was incredible on TV so in person was amazing I'm sure. But we always like not having to wait and drive through traffic so we felt fulfilled in watching the Rexburg show right from the parking lot of Olivia's apartment and then watching the other show on TV.

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...

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...

A Decade of Marriage

Image
December 27th, 2012 - our 10 year anniversary! It doesn't seem like we've been married for ten years. I still feel as giddy to see him when he comes home from work as when we were first married. I can't get enough of him! I love being with him and spending time together. And this year, for our anniversary we did just that. My parents came to pick up our kids in the morning on the 27th and Jaime and I left for Spokane. I had played with the plan of going to Hawaii like we did for our honeymoon but I'm saving for a large expense in the next few months or so.  We stayed at the Davenport Hotel for a few days of alone time. It was great to be able to give each other 100% of our attention. We had the HONEYMOON Suite! Complete with kitchenette, fireplace and walk-in shower. Thursday we ate at Chili's for lunch, did some shopping, ate dinner at P.F. Changs (their lettuce wraps are my favorite!) Friday was a wonderful day! We went to the spa at the Davenp...
