My little guy has turned 5!!

Well he turned 5 on January 29th but with kids getting sick, and mommy getting sick and trying to do a birthday party life has just gotten a little crazy! We had a really fun dinosaur theme birthday party. The kids found dinosaur eggs with babies in them, they broke a pinata, they played pin the teeth on the t-rex Josh made the coolest t-rex. The party was a hit!

Now its time to write about Kaels lovely birth experience. It was a Tuesday and I had my 36 week appointment, I had been put on bedrest a few weeks earlier because I had started to go into labor. I go to my appointment and they checked me and determined that I was in labor, so they sent me to the hospital. We went to the Hat first so I could get a yummy last meal before hospital food. Josh came a few hours later, they had me walking the halls to speed things up, but then they checked the baby and he was a little distressed so they had me stay in bed and on the monitors. I got and epidural sometime in the afternoon, it was the worst thing ever. I have a huge belly and trying to bend over on it during contractions was horrible, and it took the guy quite a few tries before he could get it in between where ever it needed to go, so I got jabbed with a big needle alot and could not stop crying. Finally he got it and it was like instant gratification. So I just labored away, my mom and Josh stayed the night at the hospital with me, I just slept all night long. Then at like 6 am a whole bunch of nurses came rushing in to wake me up. Kaels heart rate had slowed down alot it was so scary I could hear it getting slower and slower, and I was numb from the hips down so it was really hard trying to move me they finally got me on all fours and it still didnt help his heart rate. The next thing I know was the had all this paperwork for me to sign before the rushed me into a c-section, it was so rushed that they wouldnt let Josh go in with me. It was awful. So the start poking me with a needle to see if I could feel it and I couldnt so they started to cut me and I could feel that, I started to scream I can feel you cutting me, but they didnt have time to give me more juice for the epidural so they knocked me out. Apparently he was out in like five minutes. I didnt wake up till around 10am. I woke up in the operating room, I saw a nurse and I asked her "can I see my baby?", and she said no. It was just a horrible experience. I finally get back to my room to everyone telling me that Kael was having a hard time breathing and they need to take him to another hospital because they didnt have a nicu at the one I was at. So they finally brought him in to me to see for the first time before they took him away. He was long and skinny and he had all kinds of wires attached to him, and the nurse tried to pick him up so I could have a better look at him but I didnt want her to hurt him so I told her to put him down. Then they took him out and Josh followed them to the other hospital, and they moved me to another room, this room was right next to the nursery I could just hear all the other babies crying and so I started to cry as well. I remember wanting to go be by Kaels side at the other hospital but I was stuck healing at this one. I actually got to leave a day earlier partly because they needed the room and I was very persistent about going to see my baby. So I got to the other hospital and I finally got to hold him and I remember just balling when I finally got him in my arms, it was the greatest feeling ever. He still had all the wires on him and he was being a stinker and wouldnt eat so he had a tube through his nose to his tummy to feed him. I remember I was there when they had to put it through his nose and he just screamed bloody murder it was so sad, I was crying with him. He was in the nicu for two weeks and every time I left the hospital I just cried I hated leaving him there all by himself without his mommy to comfort him. It was probably the most horrible experience ever but I know every experience is for a reason, and now I have a healthy happy wonderful smart five year old boy that I thank Heavely Father for everyday.

Here are some pics of the birthday party

Silly little girl!

So I went into Emma's room the other night to check on her. I couldnt find her anywhere, I could hear her breathing but I couldnt see her. Until I notice some brown hair sticking out of the laundry basket!!! Silly little thing feel asleep in the laundry basket. I just cracked up I had to get Josh so he could see, than I had to take some pictures, then we put her back in her comfy bed. She just cracks us up sometimes!! (:

Aidens Ice Cream

So a few weeks ago we went out to dinner and then got a chocolate covered ice cream for dessert. My mom didnt finish hers so she decided to give the rest to Aiden and boy did he LOVE it!! It was hard to finally take it away from him. Lets just say that Nana is his favorite!

Fun At the Park

So on Saturday my parents, Josh, the kids and I all went to this fun park in Gilbert and had a picnic. They had fun rides there also and the kids wanted to try them out. They had a train and wavless wave runner and a carousel, they kids had a blast on everything! So here are the pictures of our fun adventures at the "coolest park". P.S Kael was being a stinker so we didnt get alot of pictures of him!!

Tagged

First off let me start by telling Heather that I HATE you!!! (: She thinks it is just to funny to tag me like I just sit around and eat bon bons all day or something!!! So blah blah here it goes. 10 things you didnt know about me or whatever!! Honestly I am not sure that I can name 10 things we shall see!!!

1) I would rather drink a Dr. Pepper for breakfast, lunch or dinner than to eat food. I love my Dr.Pepper!!

2) I was born deaf in my right ear, and if you looked at it you can tell because it looks like a baby ear. And if I am not sitting on your right side I will have a really hard time hearing you, alot of times I just guess what you said and hope it is right, alot of times I get it wrong!! My hubby wishes I would just tell people right away so they know that I am not just ignoring them, but I really dont like to share that info in person with people, unless I have known them for along time.

3) I have a little OCD I read things over and over in my head IE: the tv in the living room says sylvania, the dvd player says dvd and our tv in our room is zenith, I say those words over and over in my head, like they have changed or something but they are always the same. I do it whenever I am sitting on the couch or in my bed.


4) This is bad but I hate when my kids are playing in their room because I know they are making a mess and when they clean up they never put the toys back the way I want them to. So I go in after they have cleaned up and fix it the way I like it.

5) Everyone already knows this but I am the worst driver in the world!! I really dont pay attention to the road so if you live anywhere near me watch out!!

6) I hate tag things!!

7) I love to stay up really late and sleep in, but that never happens anymore.

8) I am really bad at calling people back if you didnt get a hold of me you probably should just try again cause I forget so fast.

9) I am always wearing flip flops whether it is raining or freezing I dont care thats all I wear.

10) I am crazy because we are expecting baby number 4 right around Aidens First birthday, it was not a planned thing at all, but now I will have 2 babies that cant survive with out me doing everything for them!!

So I wont tag anyone because I am a nice person!!!

My New Years Resolution

Usually I don't do New Years Resolutions, but looking back to last year I really think that I need to make changes in my life to benefit my family. So here they are...

Try & read the scriptures at least 3x a week and increase that once I have accomplished that goal.

Have more patients for my to smart for words son Kael.

When talking with my children try to be more patients and kind to them, by making the tone in my voice sweeter and then actually being sweeter to them. Be kind to them by my words and deeds.

Go to the temple once a month again.

Increase my spirituality through prayer and study, and any other way possible.

Continue to make our home a heaven on earth.

Well I will look back next year to see how much I have accomplished this year, I hope to change for the better. We shall see!!
