random pictures

I finally downloaded all of my pictures off of my phone. random, pixelly thoughts in no particular order:



Mrs. Cloud's Thanksgiving feast and program. This is the 5th one I've attended over the years, but the 1st where my kid belted out all of the words. Go Tuck!

Luke on a random Sunday.


Eden with some friends at Disney on Ice. It was a fantastic night at a new arena 20 minutes from our home.


Boutique #2

"Holiday Boutique Gone Chic" We LOVED Snoqualmie Ridge!




Bumper of a car that I rolled into at a stop light. Fortunately I just barely scratched it...



Eden's field trip to the Salmon Hatchery


Eden in her school play "Pinocchio" All she wants for her birthday is acting classes!

Luke playing ball at school. They let the parents come and eat lunch with the kids a couple of times each year and then hang out with them at recess. fun times...
The only pic I have of Luke at soccer. Looks a little uncomfortable...

Tuck in a PR costume with his cousin at his side. Don't know what happened to the other half of the pic? Luke and Cameron in the background playing Wii. We miss our cousins :(
Family day at Lagoon. Probably the funnest day we had all year. My kids LOVED it. Luke on the Colossus for the 2nd time and 3 year old Tucker on the Tidal Wave. Those kids have no fear!




Dave w/the men heading out on their guys weekend. Gotta love that van!
Little Liza at a lake in Yellowstone

Wow, you are the best! Loved every picture. Isn't it a blessing that in this world there are people who just love to work with and teach kids and are good at it. Mrs. Cloud is unique.

Baby Charlotte

My official due date was August 17th or 15th depending on who you ask. Both Eden and Eliza were born exactly 13 days before their due date. So, when I went in for my 38th week appointment Monday morning, August 4th I reminded my doctor that not only do I come early but when my water breaks, I deliver lightning fast. He checked me. I was a 2 and 80% effaced. His last piece of advice was to rush to the hospital if I started contracting at all due to my VBAC risk. He also joked that he would most likely be seeing me next week...my contractions started 7 hours later... Driving Eliza to harp lessons they were 5 minutes apart. Came home for dinner at 7 and then varied from 5-7 minutes. Contractions stopped at 10:30 but woke me up at 12:30. Dave and I decided to go to the hospital at 1:30. Despite the intense pain, the nurses check revealed that I was still only a 2. She hooked me up to the monitor, and for one hour I suffered through some intense contractions spaced at exactly 1.5 minutes ...

Let's just call this paybacks

Dave got the heads up this morning that we were going to have a couple of "special" talks on reverence today as the Stake Presidency was a little concerned about how loud our sacrament meetings have become. I thought ~ great, let's prep the kids ~ I told them that they were to be on their best behavior, no snacks, no toys, no talking, you get the idea... The meeting went pretty smooth until the Bishop got up. He very tenderly started talking about how important it is that we teach our children about the sacrament...it was at that moment that my family fell a part. Eden and Luke started fighting and Liza and Tucker started screaming---did I mention we were on the second row? I grabbed Luke and put him in a body hold and motioned for Dave to get Tuck and Liza out. Dave left with Liza and Tuck (so I thought...) and next thing you know, Tucker is up on the stand running back and forth behind the Bishop. My sweet friend sitting next to me jumped up to get Tuck, but he of cours...

Lesson Learned

Have you ever been in a grocery or Target type store with all your kiddos and had a lovely employee tell your children to "please sit down in the cart!"? Well I have...several times. Each time I politely smile and say sorry, but all the while my brain is filled with smart aleck comments like "hey, last time I checked, I was their mother," or, "lady it's either standing up in the cart or pulling product off your shelves-you choose!" I have been sufficiently humbled. This morning, like all mornings, I put Eliza in her high chair to get her out of my hair for a moment so that I could make breakfast. She immediately climbed out and was about to stand on the table when she lost her balance and fell to the floor. I raced over to pick her up and noticed that while she was trying to scream nothing was coming out of her mouth. I picked her up and she started seizing, her eyes rolled back into her head and then she went limp. No words can describe the thoughts...
