Delivery

So, my delivery story is one to share. I was on and off contracting for almost 2 weeks. Finally, the day came which I thought was "the day". I was timing my contractions, they were getting closer together but I was not going to be embarrassed by going to triage and getting sent home again, so I decided I would go when I was 2-4 minutes apart. Well, when I got to about 5 minutes, my sister came up to stay with the girls. Then I went to the bathroom after laboring all day. After I came out. I said to Ty, " we need to go right now!!!" Some friends came right as the words were coming out of my mouth. Ty was thinking we have a few more minutes. WRONG!! In my nicest most composed attitude, I gathered myself together. We finally got in the car and after a few minutes, my water broke in the Jetta. At this point, I was freaking out a little and suddenly, the urge to push was so strong. I knew if I didn't make it to the hospital right away, I would have the baby in the car. So, Ty is flying down the street, 911 on the phone and Im focusing on breathing steadily, and not crashing. We made it to the E.R. where (long story short) Kendall arrived after 3 pushes. From the time I left home to delivery (about 20 minutes). Yaaa! Kendall Sky is Here!!

Halloween Fun

Hannah and Lauren were Lalaloopsy dolls for Halloween. They had so much fun getting all ready and beautified. Here they are before school!!

Hannah is growing up

So, I wanted to share 2 new things about Hannah this week. First of all, she actually bore her testimony on Sunday. She asked me what a testimony was (which I've explained many times) and I told her it was the things she felt were true in her heart. At this point I'm getting nervous because I'm not ready for her to go up and say something embarrasing. But who am I to neglect a child the opportunity to share her most precious thoughts. She told me she was really nervous. I told her she can share her thoughts when she is older and not so nervous. Then she just gets up. I had no idea what she was going to say. So she says what only Hannah can say. " My name is Hannah, I know the missionaries are true. I know Jesus is true. I love my sister, my mom and my dad. Amen." This brought a smile to my heart!

So, Hannah started Kindergarden this morning. In fact, she is still there. I miss her already. Our house is quiet when she is away. But she is soo overly ready. She loves to learn. Hopefully as parents ,we have given her the necessary tools to be successful and faithful. Here are a few pictures from her 1st day!!

So, I've totally neglected our family blog. I've decided to be better about this now. Here is a recap. Still pregnant. 27.5 weeks to be exact. We are having a girl! I guess Heavenly Father has decided we are not done having children and we are totally ok with this. We haven't decided on a name yet but I have a few in mind. It's hard when everyone has an opinion on the name so I will save it till the very end.
Also, we did a ton of vacationing. I would say too much. At least it feels this way because I am still pregnant and can't sit on a plane forever. We visited family in Ohio which is always nice. We wouldn't mind moving back there. I think it is absolutely beautiful there. Maybe one day we will. We did a few lake trips- some with family, some with friends. Lake Mohave is a nice lake that accomodates our family well. That's the nice part of having a boat.
Heather and Cody Hokanson have been lifesavers for us during our vacationing so THANKS.

Looking forward to Summer

So, I love vacation time. It totally reunites us and gives us a break from life. Some of our trips may or may not include, Havasu lake trip- always fun, Lake Powell for 4th of July, and Ohio in August. Yeah!!

Baby #3

So, in case you haven't heard. We are expecting another little one. Due date is November 26th. Im 11 weeks and I've been a total crazy person. List of things: 1. chopped my hair= pure hormonal decision, 2: let my brother take care of Charly- I know, crazy, 3: Puked my guts out, 4: not answered calls-although that usually happens when Im not pregnant, and 5: pinched my nose every time I walked into the kitchen. 6: completely stopped all forms of exercise and changed my diet to weird foods. I've been a crazy person but I think the worst is over. Im beginning to feel stable, nicer, happier and the nice weather is helping. Last night, I thought I could feel my hip bones moving- could have been in my mind though.
