Skyler's Gymnastics

Skyler has been in USU's Titans Gymnastics program since last July. she is doing very well and has moved up to the pre-team level and has 4-6 hrs. of practice each week. Her favorite thing is the high bars and swinging into the "pit". She's a little monkey and can climb the rope all by herself all the way to the top where they can ring the bell. She practices beam, vault, and bars. these are the pictures of her at their performance after one of the USU girls gymnastics meet in February. Skyler and Jackson got to meet "Big Blue"! (the USU mascot)

Tyson's 1st bath at the hospital

I loved the orange cap the hospital gave him.

This shows off how truly cute he is. 1st bath at home.

with big brother Jackson and big sister Skyler.

This was a quick delivery! I had been having contractions for a few weeks and my Dr. suggested getting induced, which I turned down. I had been able to go into labor with my other 2, and really wanted to go on my own. But by Tuesday I had had enough. The contractions were getting stronger, but still wouldn't progress, so Wednesday afternoon I called just to see about the possibility of an induction, and have one scheduled for the next week just in case. My doctor scheduled it for the next day! With Skyler's labor being 28 hrs. they wern't sure how long it would take and at very least he would be born by Friday and my doctor would be here for it.

The hospital couldn't get me in until 12pm on Thursday, and even while they were getting everything set up, I was having contractions. They started me on petocin around 1 pm, and luckily I was able to get and epidural in time. Tyson was born at 4:45 pm, just under 4 hours. It was all very quick, and we pushed just 3 times, all on one contraction and under 2 min. We were a little worried because I was strep B positive and they were not able to get all the antibiotic in before he was born. They took him to the nic unit for testing and he seems fine now, we'll just have to keep a careful eye on him for the next little while. We all seem to be doing good, just tired and happy he is here healthy. I have forgotten how little sleep you get, but how awesome the sleep is not being pregnant, and for that I am grateful.

Christmas 2009

3 weeks to due date!
Thanks so much to my good friend Hillary and her family, the Bednash's, and Jo for an awesome night of pampering and makeovers. This is me with my good friends Hillary and Tiffany.

Grandpa took Skyler to see the Nutcracker.

She loved it and has been dancing around the house ever since.

Skyler and Jackson love to get all geared up and play in the snow together. Living in Cache Valley we have seen alot of snow this year.

Halloween 2009

Halloween this year was alot of fun. We went trick-or-treating all day! We went with some good friends to downtown Logan, a couple of grocery stores, and the mall during the day where they had the fire trucks out passing out candy to the kids. And then ended the day trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. It was long an tiring, but we made it. I also had a halloween party with some of my friends earlier in the week and here are our awesome costumes.

Jackson's 4th B-day

For Jackson's birthday, we took him to a corn maze and rode the tractor through the haunted scarecrows cornfields. It was alot of fun and I can't beleive my little buddy is 4 already. He is such a little ball of sunshine everyday. It amazes me how cheerful he is all the time. His favorite things are: his cars, his transformers, his blue blanket, his big sister Skyler, and his computer time.
