"super mom"

So I need to vent a little...

My life has been super crazy for a while now... I had a baby in December, then Christmas at 4 different family members houses, after that was our 1st visit to the Temple to get sealed, getting invites and calender's ready for RS activity, making cards for card club, and doing all this with a new baby whom has colic, not to mention I have a home daycare I run in my home. Now I'm planning a baptism, birthday party, and baby blessing... I have been called super mom by so many lately that I'm starting to wonder if I should make myself a cape!

Christmas

Christmas as a family of 6

 Happy birthday Jesus!

Emma only days old

 Santa gets the kids the cheap gifts so he doesn't get the credit for the expensive gifts! This year we asked everyone to get the kids stuff for outside... We got the bikes, there grandma got them a swing set, and there grandpa got a trampoline! Plus movie's, wii games, a pogo stick, and board games! Our girl's were spoiled this year for sure!

cookies, eggnog, and carrots for the reindeer. 

Eager to open gifts! 

confused to see a big huge gift (not from Santa)

       

yes it's bikes under that bike bag

She slept through it all!

Getting ready for church on this beautiful Christmas morning

Hospital!?! (Emma's birth story)

I went into the hospital 12-10 with a toothache. My dentist said I should go to triage for pain medication and antibiotics since it was Saturday and he didn't know what I could take being pregnant. So I checked it at noon and told them how I just wanted scripts. After getting hooked up to the machines for about 20 minutes one of the amazingly sweet nurses comes in and asks "can you feel your contractions?" I reply "yes there about 3 to 5
minutes apart but that's been going on for months and my mid-wife just checked me Thursday and said I'm only a 1 cm." Then she checked me and I was still only 1 cm. 20 mins after taking the meds they gave me I was in shock with how strong my contracts really were.

2 hours later she checked me again and I progressed to 3 cm's. after calling my mid-wife they decided to admit me! WHAT????? I just wanted my tooth to feel better. As I began to start calling, and texting Tyler numerous times (he was at work) I was in shock and felt like it all might be a dream. I was going to be having Emma so early being I was only 36 weeks and 5 days. Finally after 4 hours I was able to use my phone to google Tyler's store phone #... finally I get a hold of him (he's freaking out) tell him to run to his dads change his shirt and get to the hospital. Mean while Kaylee is in Flagstaff with a friend (on her way) and the other 2 are with there grandma. At 5:00 they check me again and I'm 5 cm's 100% but Emma is still high and the girl's all get to the hospital.

After 3 hours without progress (my mid-wife refused to break my water) I decide to get the epidural and send the kids home with my sister, thinking it was going to be a LONG night and morning. Still with no progress I asked for pitocin to push things along. Around 2:00 am (still 5cm's) my mid-wife breaks my water and the epidural wears off!!! I wanted to do it natural anyway but to go from being completely numb to that much pain that quick I had to be given oxygen.

Tyler help me get through labor and was AMAZING! I'm so blessed to have such an amazing husband! After 3 and a half hours I was 10 cm's... but Emma hadn't dropped yet, so I was told to try and push her down (I could feel her go down then back up, down then back up... after about 5 pushes I decided she wasn't ready and wanted to wait till the crowned. After only 10 minutes she decided to come down her self and I ended up pushing about 10 more times and she was out!

I loved that I didn't have the bright lights, the bed didn't get dropped, and I pushed the way I wanted to push... I loved having a mid-wife who was by my side for hours, and hours of labor!

Emma Margaret was born 12-11-11 @ 5:30 am, was 7 lbs 5 oz, and 20 inches long.

Daddy's little girl's

Adoption is final and the girl's are now the "Cook" girl's!!!

National adoption day was awesome!

The girl's had fun doing the craft's, games, and sitting in the courtroom with the judge they are happy Tyler is officially there "dad" now... Not that he wasn't there dad it's just documented now and he's on the birth certificate!

Super exciting day for all of us!

Iv'e joined the mini van brigade

Okay so almost a year ago to the day I got my SUV a V8 black Jeep that drinks gas in the summer like I do water... the only reason for getting this was because my husband didn't want to trade in his beautiful Acura RSX sports car for a mini van.

Bye bye Jeep! sorry, can't say you will be missed, although your tow package will be

Hello mini van!!!

Even though my husband went van shopping without me and even made the final decision and signed papers without me I'm so incredible happy I didn't have to walk around those hot car lots to try and find this steel of a deal. This 3 year old van (same as Jeep) has 30,000 miles less, same seating (van is more accessible for the kids), a huge area for cargo (Jeep could only fit an umbrella stroller), 0 scratches, and 0 dents.

I'm so blessed to have such an amazing husband to get me what Iv'e been hinting to get for about a year now (mostly since the kids started school this year).
