A Late Supper

It was 5:00pm Grandma Joan had just dropped off some yummy peanut butter cookies. I was just about to start supper following that I was going to mop the floor and then Teach Ty his piano lesson. I swear I was just about to start my tasks when my children decided it was time to play outside. It was so tempting and I couldn't resist.




















Look Bobbi, I angled it.














A Little Black and White



All tuckered out

We played outside for 1 hour and 22 minutes and then the rain came.
The floors got mopped, supper was made and Ty got his piano lesson. It all happen just a little later than normal.

A VERY GOOD WEEKEND

I had a wonderful weekend. I started out by going shopping on Friday with my mama. I need fall jackets for my children. I found NOTHING. Well not nothing I did find some jackets however they were $45 which in my mind is too expensive for a child's fall jacket. However my shopping trip wasn't a totally bust I did find a nice fall church outfit for my daughter and matching sweaters for my boys. Sorry there are no pictures I tried to take one of Banana and she flipped "I DON'T WANT MY PICTURE TAKEN!!" this is very unlike her. She normally loves the camera.
Friday night was even better I had a GIRLS NIGHT. It was awesome we talked we laughed we ate. It couldn't have gone better. I love girls nights.

Saturday was nice to I went to Suzi's Reception. I wasn't able to make the wedding because Matt had to work but I did go to the Reception and Suzi was beautiful as always. Anna was having one of those days however she did have a cute moment when Auntie asked where mommy was she replied "My mom is dancing with my dad tonight." so cute





And then comes Sunday which is always good. We had wonderful lesson's in both Sunday school and Relief Society. In Sunday school we were talking about the how important a mother's role is in the child's life. I never said anything but to be honest thinking about this scares me to death. It makes me incredibly nervous to think that my child is watching my every move and listening to everything I'm saying. But saying that it also makes me want to do even better. It's good motivation.
One more thing I want to give a shout out to my Brother well my brother-in-law Jason (this is more the technical term he's more like a brother because he has been around sense I was very young)Congrats Jason.
You need to watch this.

Dancing

I DID IT. I registered my little girl in dance class. I am super excited and so is she. Matthew had asked her a few weeks ago if she would like to take ballet class and since then that's all I hear about. As soon as I got home she talked for about five minutes straight about how I needed to go buy her ballet slippers. She is so cute I love her.
I bought a Journal today. I have been thinking for while now that I need to write one. As soon as a got it I felt anxiety about what to write. Do write down when I am angry or have had a bad day or do I just write down all the good stuff. I thought about how my children while be reading this when I have passed and thought do I really want them knowing everything. Naturally I turned to my sister for advice and she told me to write down everything. That it will be good for my children to read about what trails I go through (not that my life is hard or that I have a lot of bad days but everyone goes through trails). I decided to listen and wrote my first journal entry and it was wonderful. I have had a bad day, probably due to my lack of sleep, since I'm not one to spill my feelings out on someone I wrote in my journal everything that had gone wrong. After I was finished I felt much better and my attitude changed. Writing my feelings down on paper was very therapeutic.
One more thing I bought a Magic Bullet today. I know I'm a nerd but I'm very excited and I love seeing it on my counter.

4 yrs

It was August 17, 2004 that I felt my first contraction. They were merely a little crap in my stomach. They happened every so often all through out the day. At 5:00 pm they started to get regular and I started to get scared. I didn't know what to expect but now there was no going back, it was time. After almost 7 hours of the not to terrible contractions, 12 hours of hard contractions and 1.5 hours of pushing it was over. On August 18, 2004 my little boy was born.

Mason

Yesterday I took Mason to get his needle. I knew he was a big boy but I had absolutely no idea he was as big has he is. Mason is 5 months and 3 weeks old and weighs a whopping 19 lbs 4.5 oz. I think he is the biggest child so far. At 6 months Bayly weighed 16 lbs. I'm not sure how much Anna-Marie was at six months but at 8 months she was 20 lbs. I take Mason for another needle in 2 months so we'll see.

Here are a couple pictures of my Mason, all 19lbs of him.

BREAKING DAWN (beware there are spoilers)

I love this book. I was into it from the get go. Bella and Edward getting married at the beginning wheeled me in. I was thinking during their honeymoon that it would be awesome if Bella could get pregnant and BAM she got pregnant. I loved it.
I am not a Jacob fan so I was very happy that once Bella became a vampire she wasn't in love with Jacob anymore.
I am not sure how I feel about Jacob and Renesmee. I don't know if I am completely out of it but I never saw that one coming. I think Stephenie Meyer did this to ease the pain of all the Team Jacob members. Like I said I am not a fan so I would have been just as happy if he was killed off.
The ending was my favorite part. Bella letting Edward see her thoughts was completely unexpected and totally romantic. I thought it was the perfect way to end the series. I have to admit I am a little sad that it is all over.

Mixed Feelings

Well I guess I should let everyone know that Matthew and I are not moving. I was a little upset when Matt told me we didn't get the house but now I'm fine. We were planning on waiting a year in the first place so I guess we are back where we started.

Matthew is going to start working on the house again and get it looking nice. He is going to finish the play room downstairs and paint the kitchen and living room. After that's done hopefully we will get to the bathroom.

On to a better note WE GOT FAMILY PHOTOS TAKEN. That's right new family pictures. Bobbi-Jo did them and they are wonderful. I was very nervous that we wouldn't be able to get them because of the huge storm we had earlier in the day. But all was well, the storm ended and the sun was shining. You should check them out on her website www.grunewald.ca I love the one with Matthew and I looking at each other, pure love baby.
Matthew and I took the kids to the pool on Tuesday. The water was freezing and there was a cold breeze. Not a great day for swimming. My poor Bayly loves water but it was just too cold for him. He would stand by the pool looking at all the people playing. You could tell by the look on his face that he wanted to be in the water. He would put his feet in an then jump in the water and get right back out. Way to cold. BUt the cold did not stop my Anna-Marie. I had to pribe her to get her out without her kicking and screaming. She loved it. I've decided that I have to put both of them in swimming lessons.
One more thing. Tonight is a very special night. I have been waiting months for this moment to arrive and I can't hardly wait any longer. Tonight is the night that BREAKING DAWN COMES OUT. I'm sooooo excited to read this book. All you Twilighters know exactly what I'm talkin about.
