Olive Ruby Entering This World....

When we arrived at the hospital they were running a bit behind - so we just got comfy and waited. The nurses said this couldn't be our first baby - we were way too calm... Now on to the actual delivery - WARNING - THIS VIDEO MAY BE TOO GRAPHIC - so if you don't like blood - don't watch!

This baby came out with the grumpiest look on her face. I couldn't beleive it. She is such a sweetheart though - and we are so lucky to have her. Take a look at our HUGE family. I can hardly beleive it! The kids were so excited to see their baby sister - Owen ran in and was the first one to hold her. He softly sang "I am a child of God" to her. Paige took a quick look at my chart (I know) and then was next to hold her. Brock held her for a half of a second and then said "No, she cry all the time." I don't think she made a peep!
Me and my baby... my last baby!

She is Here...

Easter

The Easter bunny came to our house again this year and the kids were super excited. They woke up to find eggs hidden all over the house and their baskets filled with special goodies. We got ready for church and the kids were all dressed in their Easter outfits. (It was a little last minute this year, and a bit more casual).... something they will wear again though. :)

After church and some naps we went to Jake & Wendy's house for an Easter dinner, Egg Hunt and birthday celebration for both Tess & Sophie. The kids had a great time!

Spring Break '09

It's the first day of Spring Break and I want to cry. What am I going to do with these kiddies all week long? Most everyone we know is out of town and the weather is suppose to be crappy the rest of the week. Today was the only "sunny" day and after we went to the pool Paige kept crying about being bored. Oh no you don't! I thought. I really am at a lost. And the only "real" plans I had was to visit my friend Heather tomorrow - she went and delivered her baby today (congrats Heather - I'm so excited for you) but I'm sad for me. I need ideas. I need to be able to bend over.... geez I need to have this baby. Well, only 9 more days, then I too get to lay in a hospital bed with no kids tugging at me to get them some more juice or take them to the park. This week could go by really fast or it could drag on forever... let's pray for fast!
