Do You?

So real quick...Kylie has a ear infection and the doctor put her on an antibiotic. Well I just gave it to her for the second time, and I had to go under the table and trap her. Then I had to plug her nose until she swallowed it. I love it, she makes me laugh. Does anyone else have to do coniving things to get their children to swallow medicine? Hope everyone is having a good day.

As I sit on the couch, holding Aubry, and Phil in the kitchen slaving away (Right where I want him, LOL), My children decide to play dress up. I have to say that those are some seriously funny times. I love when they act like silly goofs ; )

So here we are at home, almost 3 weeks later. Phil's cousin Kristin, gave Aubry some super cute outfits, and I just love this onsie! It says "Treat Me like you would treat the Queen!" it was the perfect onsie for the moment, because she wasbeing fussy. LOL

Presenting Aubry Corinne Hurst

TA DA!!! I know it took a while but here are the pictures from the hospital (and no I don't know why my text is underlined, oh well). She weighed 8lbs 5oz, and was 21" long. We named her Aubry Corinne Hurst. She is my second biggest baby. I pushed for less then 3 min. She was strong and perfectly healthy. I on the other hand had a few complications. If I had to rate this labor on a pain scale of 1-10 compared to my other births, I would rate this one at a 15, and that's with an epidural! After the baby was out, my placenta wasn't detaching, and I hemorrhaged. But I'm fine now. It is amazing how when that baby gets put on your stomach and you get to hold them for the first time, it is such an overwhelming INSTA-LOVE! There are few experiences in life that compare to that moment of birth. It is just such an emotionally intense moment in life. LOVE IT!! Even when the pain level was horrific, those feelings won over everything else.

It's Amazing

The Date April 4, 2008. In case some of you don't, know that was my due date, and since I'm the one taking all of the pictures, I was obviously not wanting to be doing something else then taking pictures. BUT, if ya can't go in to labor on your due date (and you've been having contractions for almost 2 months) then the next best thing would be to get to see your kids learn how to ride their bikes without training wheels for the first time. In my opinion, the one makes up for the lack of the other.
Okay so this is how it went down. Raya wanted to learn to ride without training wheels, so Phil took them off. She told Dad "Don't look", so he went into the garage to fix Landon's training wheel that broke. Ten seconds later he looks out at the street, and there is Raya, speeding down the street on two wheel's. So then Landon takes his bike out to the street and says he want to learn how. With in 10 minutes Landon is doing the same thing. Raya is 5, and Landon is 3 1/2. We just couldn't believe it. It was a great day to be a parent.

Is It On Straight?

Oh Yeah HOT MAMMA!!! little girl doesn't search out Mom's lipstick to then go and turn themselves into what they think is the next top model. But I must say, if you can get over the fact that you pay quit a bit for Mac lipstick, it is a fun and eventful time in life.

Mmmm...I love simple dinners. You know, the kind that takes about 4 1/2 minutes to put together and then there is only 1 pan dirty at the end of it. LOVE IT!! Not to mention the fact that all of the kids were happy and liked what they were eating. I guess I should supply a "Honey Baked Ham" all the time. NOT!! I could only imagine the increase in my grocery bill every month. Does any one want to share tried and true, kid loved, really, REALLY, fast dinners? Those are things that I seriously lack.

So, a little more insight into me... four years ago, I cut out these letters to make Raya's name. Well, last week, I finally decorated them and now they are ready to hang on the wall. I am SO EXCITED!!! I love them. My sister Elisia helped me place the embelishments. Lets just say she is amazing at whatever she touches. Now I am totally set on doing my other kids names. I can't wait!

My Little Flower

Okay, so when you look at Kylie, do you just want to start singing..."You are my sunshine me only sunshine..."? Because I DO! Oh I don't know how I am going to have another baby girl. It just seems impossible. Even when I have seen Kylie up next to an 8 day old baby, I still see my newborn Kylie. " I am in BIG TROUBLE, uuhhuu...BIG BIG TROUBLE!!" : ]

I Finally Did It !!!

WOW! WATCH OUT I'M CRAFTING
I happen to have a very awsome craft room that my husband put together for me. But do to the fact that I have 3 small children, I have to keep the door locked at all times. Which then in consequence, makes it so that I don't go in there and do as many things as I would like to do. Its the whole "Out of sight out of mind" kind of thing. But I finally made the choice to not let anything else matter, and I made the blanket. I have had this pattern invisioned in my head for probably a year. Now, mind you, that my dear friend Sonya was there to help, because the blanket was for her baby that she ended up having Feb 9 @ 4:30 am. But I have had the plans to make this style of blanket for Raya & Kylie's twin bunk beds. So now I feel like me again.
WA HOOOOO!
