July 2010

For the 4th of July we went up to Island Park camping. The weather was cold and I stayed in the camper most of the time with Jayden so we didnt get many pictures. Pioneer weekend we went to the parade and rodeo. That Sunday we went and seen the Blue Angels in Idaho Falls. The weather was hot. It was neat but long. I had to put earplugs in Jaydens ears because some of the planes were too loud and scared him. After the air show we went to my grandparents and the kids got to pet a baby deer that my dad had found that got hurt. On the 29th Olivia turned 9. She had a little water party with some friends. We took her to Red Robin for dinner and had a pretty good birthday. Sorry the pictures are kinda out of order. The bottom two of Elayne and Jayden are from camping. The one of the sky is from the fire that was by the INL. The sky looked neat and I got a ton of good pictures. The one of Jayden is when we were at the air show. The others are of the girls petting the deer and Olivia's birthday.

June 2010

In June we blessed Jayden. His outfit was a little big on him but it worked out. Thats about all that happened in June.

May 2010

In May we were busy with baseball and school ending. The weather was terrible for baseball. Livvy started fast pitch this year and didnt do too bad. Alex was on knothole and did pretty good too. They both had fun and thats all that matters! School ended the Thursday of Memorial Weekend. We left that night for Oregon for the weekend. It was nice that the kids were done with school so they could recover from it. We went to the lighthouse and Jeremy took the kids up in it except for Elayne because she wasnt big enough. We stayed on the coast for one night and the kids got to play in the ocean until they got cold. They had fun catching crabs and getting wet. The guys all went out fishing and us girls did our own thing. The kids had some money so they got to buy a few things at the outlet stores. The weekend was too short for that long of a drive.

Jayden

Alright I am a very terrible blogger. I can't seem to find the time to keep this up to date. I will try to go back over the months I missed and atleast catch the important stuff or most of it anyways. The biggest thing that has happened in our lives is Jayden being born. He was born on April 23rd. He weighed 7.6 and was 19 inches. It was definatly different having one that small. We had to buy newborn clothes! The delivery went very well. The doctor was worried about my previous c-section causing problems so they had to moniter me to make sure there were no complications. They started me around 10 and I had him at 4:10. The girls were pretty excited to have him get here. They all help out and maul him. I'm afraid he's going to be one spoiled boy!

February

February was also a busy month. The girls basketball ended on the 13th. They had a fun time and learned alot. I was kinda glad it was over so we could have our Saturdays back plus no more chasing them to practices. I think in a way they were glad it is over too. They were getting worn out. For Valentines Day Jeremy got me some flowers and a rose for each of the girls. I'm glad he does that for them. They enjoy it. I guess I should go back to the first part of the month. On the 7th we decided to sluff church and take a drive to Alpine with Jeremy's parents to see the elk. We get a call from some friends telling us they are changing ward boundries and doing a whole new ward. Thats what we get for sluffing church! They had a stake meeting on the 13th and told everyone where the new boundries are. We got moved into the new ward which is called Twin Groves 2nd. Atleast we get to stay in the same church building. We got a lot of good people in our ward and so far its going well. Jeremy got put in as the Young Mens President. He wasnt too thrilled about it. I'm still having a hard time loosing my calling. I really enjoyed working with the Young Women. It was a lot of work but I actually enjoyed it. So far I havent recieved a calling and I kinda hope it stays that way for a few months until after this baby gets here. On the 19th was our 10th anniversary. We went to Logan and stayed a couple of nights. We went on a sled ride through some elk and that was fun. The elk werent as impressive as the ones in Alpine but it was still fun to get that close to them. The ride to the place was really pretty. We walked around the Logan temple both nights. It reminds me of a castle. We didnt do too much while we were there. It was kinda nice to relax and take it easy for once. Jeremy got me a beautiful ring. I thought I had a picture of it but must not have so I'll have to get one up later. I'm pretty darn lucky to have him in my life thats for sure! Guess I better do a baby update. I am getting tired of going to the doctor all the time. The baby is doing great. The internal membrane is almost gone. I got diagnoised with gestastional diabetes so thats been fun. The kids like watching me prick my finger. I didnt have to do too much changing to my diet. Just have to watch carbs and keep my blood sugar down which has been no problem. I actually lost a pound since I started. The doctor wants me to go in once a week now and possible twice a week. I will find out Thursday March 4th if that is the case. They are going to do another ultrasound to see if the membrane is gone which I'm hoping. Its never been a problem but I'd rather it be done with. =) So besides a ton of doctors appointments and sore fingers all is good. We are getting closer and I'm ready to get him here!

January

January was the start of our busy winter. Jeremy with church basketball, me with volleyball and Livvy and Alex with basketball. Elayne turned 2 on the 14th. She was more excited about her Elmo cake and the balloons then her presents. Once she got opening them it was different. She got a new baby, a stroller, highchair, playpen, and swing set (it all came together) for the baby and her sisters got her a bag that was full of baby bottles and stuff. She had fun putting her baby to sleep and swinging her. Livvy and Alex have been busy with basketball practices most of the time twice a week and then a game on Saturday. Jeremy would bring Alex and that helped out a ton. I felt like all I was doing was chasing kids around. It is fun to watch them play. Livvy had really improved since last year. This is Alex's first year and she wasnt too sure about it. Her coach was really good with them and that helped. I think thats all that went on during the month of January.

Christmas

Well I'm a few months late on getting these up but I guess its better than nothing. It seems like I'm always trying to catch up lately. Our Christmas was good. The girls had fun and played the day away with there new stuff. Elayne wanted Jeremy to open up her toys so she could play with them and lost interest in unwrapping. They were all pretty excited that "Santa" brought them Zhu Zhu pets. Livvy and Alex have been wanting them since summer. Definatly worth it because they've been played with for hours. We were all spoiled and it seemed like the holidays flew by too quickly.
