Carter

The Best Helpers

Brynn and Hailey are always asking to feed or to

hold baby Carter. They have been a VERY big help

with getting diapers and holding him when I can't.

I am SO greatful for these to sweet little girls.

During his stay in the NICU.


Hanging with Aunti Ashley



Getting checked out because he was grunting and
flaring his nostrals.....that's because he had fluid
in his lungs and hence the stay in the NICU



With one of his big sisters before they took him


with his other big sister

I will post more NON hospital pics when I get

a chance. Thank goodness for drugs!!!

No Induction for me

Today I got the Amnio. It wasn't bad it was
just a little stick and a good sized cramp. Then
count to 5 and it's done.
I am now scheduled for a C-Section on friday
the 23rd. This little kid won't stay head down
so they say it is to risky for me to be induced while
he is pretty much breech. So tomorrow I will be
sliced open! Sounds like fun! I know you all wish
you could be like me.

The talent show

(pause the music below)

Hailey is on the Left

Hailey and her friend McKenna danced this year for

the school talent show. They did a great job! Hailey

is already planning for next year with Brynn.

Toothless Wonder

I picked Hailey up from school yesterday and she

came running our and yelled "I LOST MY TOOTH!:

Her friend Linda pulled it our for her. What a nice

friend. The toothfairy visited last night and left

$2.00! WOW!

It is so cute to see her try and talk with her tooth

gone. She just looks so different to me.

Mother and Daughter Day

Yesterday we had our mother/daughter day for our ward
it consisted of painting nails, making soap and lip gloss.
We even got to choose the color and scent of our soaps
and lip glosses.
Then we roasted hot dogs and had smores.
It was a lot of fun. The ladies had a great time with
their friends.


Here is Brynn roasting a hot dog for her and I.


Here is Hailey eating her smore! YUM!


Brynn giving herself a Pedi.


Here Hailey is making her soap. It was orange and
it smelled like an orange. She even got to put some
glitter in it. SO FUN!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

This is my mom. She's the best mom ever and she's
the best grandma utah there is!!
Happy MOTHER'S DAY mom I LOVE YOU!

Shhh...NO Fighting....it's a special day today

So this morning I woke up to the little chatter of

"c'mon Brynn hurry we have to get this done is Mother's
day. OH and NO fighting it's Mother's day and it's a
special day."

So I knew they were planning something. I just
layed there in bed hoping there would be no sound
of dishes crashing to the floor. Then I hear

"Oh we need to get dressed in some fancy clothes so we can
look good when we wake mom up."

I'm still laying there pretending to be sleeping
and I hear some cereal being poured into a bowl
and then the fridge being opend. It has to be
cereal... next thing i hear is

"WAITE!!! don't poor the milk Hailey, it will make it
go not crunchy."

Then it's time........I stretch and open my eyes and they
yelled HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!


This is my breakfast they made me. The Ice cubes
that are in the water are NOT from the ice maker, they
were prepared last night it the girls little ice cube makers.
HOW SWEET!!!



Frosted Mini Wheats (A lot of them) and some napkins
and of course the water with the homemade ice.

Our Week

Our weeks started off with Brynn getting four shots
so we could get her registered for Kindergarten.
She was not happy because on the first shot she
jerked away and the needle went in a little to far and
hit her bone. OUCH!

So then on Wednesday we hit up the park with
some friends from the ward. Brynn just loves to
go to the park. Especially if there is water.







Thursday started REALLY early. Hailey woke me up
at 4:00 in the morning with throwup everywhere. She
had gotten up to get a drink and was sitting at the table
when as she says " It exploded out of my mouth" she
was so upset because it landed on her homework packet
that she had just finished.

Later that same day she was laying down reading
and fell asleep. I guess when you wake up that early
you go to bed real early. (this is 4:30 in the evening)
she slept until the next morning.




Brynn and her BIG DOG HARLEY! Brynn just
is in love with him. They are best friends. Harley
will even play BARBIES with her. The other day
I saw him with something bright pink around his
neck it ended up being a barbie stuck in his collar.
He was just laying there while Brynn just played.

OH NO!!!

We sold our beloved camry today. It was a wonderful car it had 237,000 plus miles on it and it was still going strong. I wish it luck with it's new owner.



So along with the selling of the car the new owner also got a little extra! Theo's WEDDING BAND!! He took it off to play basketball and forgot to take it out before he sold it.

Here are pictures of the baby's room of course there will be pictures on the
wall and above the crib we will put his name is white wooden letters.
I think it turned out pretty good. Thank you Emily, Hailey and Brynn for
helping me paint.

GOOD PICTURES!

FINALLY!!! I got some good pictures. Look at the size of those lips.

I went in for a ultrasound to make sure he is growing and they say

he is 6lbs. BIG BOY!! I am also scheduled for an amnio on May 22nd

so hopefully this little guy will be here on the 23rd of May.

For all of those who have been asking..... I still go in for fetal monitoring

two times a week just to makes sure that he's still getting enough oxygen

and that my fluid is good. So far the little guy has scored all his points

except one time. They needed to have him move a little more during

monitoring so they tried to BUZZ him and he just slept through it. He kept

sleeping the entire time even through the ultrasound so he didn't pass

his practice breathing. I hope he will be this good of a sleeper when he is

here. But everything seems fine and hopefully 3 1/2 weeks will be here soon.

VERY VERY FUNNY

HA HA HA this is so funny!!!! everyone should check this out!

Pappa with Rainbow Toes

My dad came to visit over the weekend and the girls begged to paint his toes, well he wanted something that would come off easy. So they ran and got their dry erase markers and colored his toes. What a nice pappa!

Today they had a little awards ceremony for the Honor Roll kids at school.
Good job Hailey we are so proud of your hard work! You are on your way
to becoming a great Surgeon!

Oh So Cute

So I found this cute clothing site (blog stalking) Look how cute and soft they look.

I'm getting this in the powder blue pants, white shirt and then his name on it.

4 DAYS!!!

So today I had a Doctors Appointment and I asked her if it was still ok to deliver at 38 1/2 weeks, well she said NO! WHAT!!!! She won't deliver until 39 weeks. HELLO what is 4 more days. She said if I wanted to go 38 1/2 she would have to do an amnio. YEAH... I think not! Has anyone's doctor told them this? With Brynn my Doctor would of let me go 2 weeks early with NO amnio. O"well what do ya do. Guess I'll let him cook 4 mord days.

Our Little Heart Surgeon

It was Haily's Career Fashion Show today at school and she wanted to be
a Heart Surgeon. It was so cute she needed some help on what to say
and so We practiced and practiced so she would be ready for their dress
rehersal. She came home from school and I asked her what she said, she
told me... "Hi my name is Hailey and I want to be a Doctor because I want
to cut people open" WHAT!! I told her she needed to say something different,
so then the next day I asked her teacher what she said now..." Hi my name
is Hailey and I want to be a Doctor because I like to look at people's bodies"
OK WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? cutting people open and looking
at people's bodies, So we chaged it AGAIN! Today I was just hoping she would
say what we practiced..... take a look
(mute my music so you can hear her)

The Girl in a Whirl

I got this in an email today from my friend Amy... It's pretty funny!

The Girl in a Whirl by 'Dr. Sue' (a.k. A.. Vickie Gunther)

Look at me, look at me, look at me now! You could do what I do if you only knew how. I study the scriptures one hour each day; I bake, I upholster, I scrub, and I pray. I always keep all the commandments completely; I speak to my little ones gently and sweetly. I help in their classrooms! I sew all they wear! I drive them to practice! I cut all their hair! I memorize names of the General Authorities; I focus on things to be done by priorities. I play the piano! I bless with my talents! My toilets all sparkle! My checkbooks all balance! Each week every child gets a one-on-one date; I attend all my meetings (on time! Never late!) I'm taking a class on the teachings of Paul, But that is not all! Oh, no. That is not all, I track my bad habits 'til each is abolished; Our t-shirts are ironed! My toenails are polished! Our family home evenings are always delightful; The lessons I give are both fun and insightful. I do genealogy faithfully, too.It's easy to do all the things that I do! I rise each day early, refreshed and awake; I know all the names of each youth in my stake! I read to my children! I help all my neighbors! I bless the community, too, with my labors. I exercise and I cook menus gourmet; My visiting teaching is done the first day! (I also go do it for someone who missed hers. It's the least I can do for my cherished ward sisters.) I chart resolutions and check off each goal; I seek each "lost lamb" on my Primary roll. I can home-grown produce each summer and fall. But that is not all! Oh, no. That is not all, I write in my journal! I sing in the choir! Each day, I write "thank you's" to those I admire. My sons were all Eagles when they were fourteen! My kids get straight A's! And their bedrooms are clean! I have a home business to help make some money; I always look beautifully groomed for my honey. I go to the temple at least once a week; I change the car's tires! I fix the sink's leak! I grind my own wheat and I bake all our bread; I have all our meals planned out six months ahead. I make sure I rotate our two-years' supply; My shopping for Christmas is done by July! These things are not hard; 'tis good if you do them; You can if you try! Just set goals and pursue them! It's easy to do all the things that I do! If you plan and work smart, you can do them all, too! It's easy!" she said and then she dropped dead.

April Fools on Mom and Dad

So Hailey and Brynn tried to pull a trick on us. It started out like this...
"mom and dad stay in your room so we can prepare our trick"
Five minutes later we hear this scream (not a frantic scream more like
a i'm fighting with my sister scream) So we just kind of ignored it, well then
Hailey and Brnn come SKIPPING into our room and yell I'M BLEEDING!!!!
Well I got a little mad because there was blood or I mean Ketchup dripping
on the floor.
So here is a picture of our little pranksters in the tub...Brynn is so proud
(you can't tell huh) of the job she did putting the ketchup on Hailey's arms and legs.

Goodbye CTR ring

We went bowling today for our friend Cameron's birthday and Brynn got

her finger smashed by one of the little boys ! It just happend to smash

the finger with her CTR ring on it. It totally bent her ring and she has a little

cut on her finger. She's not very happy!

ok so I have had people ask why their aren't any

pictures of me. So here you go, HERE I AM!

This is me at 30 weeks. I would like to thank

Ashley for taking the pictures and Hailey

for choosing my poses.
