Birth story of Scotty

I feel bad because I have never gotten around to writing about Scotty's birth story, so here it is. Scotty decided to come 2 weeks early to the day. I had go to the doctor the day before to get check and I was not even at a one. So being the control freak that I am, I thought I had plenty of time to clean, shop, and get my house in order. That entire day I felt so crummy, I felt like I had the flu, but I had been feeling like that for the last several weeks so I thought no big deal. The next morning the kiddos had swimming lessons and then I had planned to go to Target and start my big list of things to do... Like buy toilet paper (which we where completely out of). While I was at swimming lessons I started to feel that horrible feeling in my lower back. The one that you just know that you are in labor. So I went to Spencer's work to talk to him about what was going on. He told me to call the doctor just to see if the what I was feeling where true labor pain. Of course my doctor told me to go to the hospital to get check out, but I did NOT  want to go. I just knew if I went they would keep me there and I was NOT ready to have this baby. I didn't even have TOILET PAPER for heaven sakes!! So I dropped off the kids and we headed to the hospital with no bags in hand. On the way I called my parents in California just to give them a heads up and reassured them that this was not really happening but I was just going to make sure anyways. When we got there I was so mad that Spencer made me come. All I wanted to do is go to Target and get my things on my very important list done. He wouldn't listen!! I got check in and low and behold I was in labor. I was having contraction every five minutes and I was dilated to a three. I was MAD! My labor went pretty quick. About ten hours. I was stuck at a three forever but as soon as I got to a five it was only forty five minutes until I had Scotty. My parents got there on time and where there to witness the birth. It was a real spiritual experience. After he was born everyone was so quiet and reverent. We had just witness a miracle happen and we really had no words to go with it. We are so blessed that everything went well and everyone was healthy. We sure love him and he is such a wonderful addition to our family. We love you Scotty!!

I was so excited that they put him on my chest after. My other two kiddos had breathing issues so I didn't get to do this. It was such a surreal moment.

Everyone in aw.

Daddy (Spence), Popeye (my dad Scott), Apple Jul (my mom Julie, and Ya Ya (sister in-law Hope)

This time Spencer and I decided to have a party in the labor room. It was really fun and made the time go by fast. Don't worry my Dad stayed in the corner the entire time...

Love this picture!! Spence and I in love once again.

Proud big brother Seth and Tessa. They where so excited to meet Scotty. It is amazing how instantly they

loved him right away.

 

This picture will forever make me cry. This is my dear sweet Papa. He flew out to see Scotty, who was his 4th great grandson. He was so proud and full of joy to see him. My Papa passed away just a week later. I am going to miss him so much and will forever remember him as the most loving, enduring, loyal, generous, and virtues person that he was. I love you Papa and miss you so.

The day after he was born. Love the man boobs.Love you Scotty!!

This sweet baby boy has almost been a part of our family for 4 wonderful week. He is such a light in our family and we feel like he has always been a part of our family. This sweet boy decided to surprise all of us and come a two weeks early. To say the least, we where not prepared for his arrival. We are so glad he is here and we are enjoying ever moment that we have shared with him. Welcome to the world baby Scotty !! We love you very much.

Our THREE beautiful kids. It is still so weird to see still say that. They love their baby Scotty and he loves to listen and watch them. Seth and Tessa are very helpful to mommy and at times can be a little too helpful;) They are both adjusting very well to the new addition to our family and are loving all the extra spoiling and attention that came with it.

Antique table for Sale!!

So I bought this table a couple of months ago and loved it, but I am a spazzz and just bought another one that fits our needs a little better. Now I am trying to sell this one.... It's a beautiful antique dining room table. It is 65 in long, 43 in wide, and 31 in tall. If any one is interested let me know. I am selling it  for 150.00  (obo) I am sad to see it go, but don't have the space to store. Let me know?

My sweet Nany..

So my dear sweet Nany went to visit our Heavenly Father this passed Sunday evening. She had been battling cancer and many other illnesses the passed two year. She put up a very good fight and fought it until the very end. I was able to be with her, her final days and be there when she passed. It was a very spiritual experience and I am so grateful that I was by her side in her time of need. My Nany (Margaret Herron) Lived a very full and exciting life. She married the love of her life Raymond (Papa) and they where married for 55 years. Believe it or not they actually ran away to be married in Vegas!! They had two sweet boys, Kieth who unfortunately passed when he was only 11 years old in a tragic accident, and then my sweet dad Scott. She loved to right dirt bikes, paint, do poetry, sing, play the piano, SHOP, travel, and be with her family every special event she and Papa could attend. I was her only granddaughter so I got to enjoy some very special moments with my Nany. Every morning when she came to visit I knew I could run up stair and watch her put her make up on in her big vanity in her room. She made all three of us grandchildren feel so loved and gave us her unconditional love. My Nany was a very genuine person. She was so sensitive to everyone and everything. She would even cry when we would bless the food. I know that she is in a much  better place with our Heavenly Father and I know that her son Keith was the first one she got to see when she passed. I also know that she is having quite the party in heaven with all of her friends and family that had passed before her. I am so glad that I have the gospel in my life that helps my know and feel the spiritual side of death. I know I will get to see her someday and I am so grateful to be the one that gets to do her work when that times come. I love you Nany... thank you for always being there for me and loving me the way you did.

 Seth got to help with the casket. He was so proud.Papa and my Dad, Scott saying their goodbyes.They both loved her very much as did she love them.

Prego Pics, and sugar cookies!

So I was asked by a couple of people to post a picture of my profile. Here it is in all my glory.. I feel great, a little tired, a little sore, oh and this little guy decided it would be fun to give mommy vains on my legs. I am getting excited to be done, but as a soon to be mom of three... I know it is a lot easier if he stays in for awhile.

Cute story... One night while Tessa Bear was already asleep, Seth and I decided to lay on my bed to watch a movie together. Of course as soon as I lay down, baby Scotty decides to go crazy!! I pulled Sethers hand to my belly to see if he could feel his baby brother. He felt him!! He was so shocked and excited .. He started laughing so hard. We laided there for about 30 mins just feeling my tummy jump. I loved every min of it. It was such a amazing moment that we got to share.  

My mom makes the worlds best sugar cookies!! So the other day I was feeling a little home sick and while Seth and his friend where playing the Wii, Tess and I made her sugar cookies. Tessa loves to cook with me. We put our little aprons on and just had a blast. Tessa's little apron was my moms when she was a little girl.. Tessa even got her own batch of cookies to make. Of course she licked her fingers and ate most of the batch, but that is why they where only hers!! She was so proud of herself.

Mini Vaca in Cali

n So yes we went to California again.. it's our favorite place and we love going to our special spots along the way. We joined some family member that were vacationing the same time as us at the wonderful Olvera street. We partook in the best Mexican food around and the best GREEN GUACAMOLE sauce that I would drink if I could.

On our way to Balboa island on the fairy.

Had to stop at the fun zone and do some trampoline tricks. Seth's favorite thing. The guy working it was hilarious!! He kept calling Seth , Bethany and making him laugh and scream louder then I have ever heard him.

Then of course... The Happiest Place on earth.. DISNEYLAND!! I know.. we have problems. We spent two wonderful days there and had a blast. I got to sit out a lot, being six months prego in all... but it was nice to rest. Look at Tess, she is crazy!

Seth has to get corn on the cob next to Thunder Mountain.... one of many of our traditions. This time he had a little harder time eating it without front teeth.

Sneaking a moment in the back of the boat in small world..

Hanging with Jack after the Pirates ride.

My kids lovvvvvvvvvve going to the Grizzly Bear Playground in California Adventure. So much fun.. They would stay just in that area all day long.

Tessa not quite sure about that slide. We had so much fun and would go back in a heart beat.. well maybe next time it would be nice not to be prego.

Our Mister turned 6!

Look at this cute little.. I mean big boy!! I can't believe this mister has been in our lives for six wonderful years!! We sure do love this sweet guy. He wanted to go to (Peeper) Piper Pizza this year and since we were leaving town about 2 hours after this fabulous party , I was completely on board.

All of his friends and some cousins havin a blast!

Seth had spotted out this Jack Sparrow ice cream cake at DQ a few month back and had never forgotten about it (he doesn't forget about ANYTHING) it was sure yummy...

After the fun festivities we jumped in the car and drove to Cali to finish the celebration.. and on our way to vacation. We had dinner at Ruby's on the peer in Newport Beach. Seth... Thank you for being such a good boy. You are so smart, sensitive, caring, great big brother, creative, imaginative, strong willed, FUNNY, kind, and the best son that your Mommy and Daddy could ever ask for. love you son!

Recap of the month

Seth lost ANOTHER TOOTH this month. He is so proud of his new smile and now talks with a little whistle. He is so dang cute. He is really young to have lost all of these teeth. A lot of kiddos in his class have not even lost one... he is now up to four.

Tessa and Seth both got the RSV virus this month. Seth tends to get it quite a bit more then Tessa around this time of year because he has asthma. Tessa was SO excited that she got to breath like a dragon like big brother. She was so proud... Little did she know that it is not good things. Can you tell that she was excited?

One day after school I went to pick up this cute little boy and much to my surprise I was picking up Dr. Seuss. They had celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday at school and had all dressed up.

Finally this month we had the great pleasure in enjoying a week with Apple Jul. We love when she comes to visit and appreciate the sacrifice that my parents make for her to come. Thanks Dad!! We played ALL week long and feel like it's Christmas when she visits. We love you Apple Jul and miss you Popeye.. Come back real soon!

Such a happening life... Such a big blog!

Well a lot has happened since my last post.. We decided to make BLUE cupcakes in celebration of our new addition to our sweet little family. WE ARE HAVING A BOY! Seth and Spencer say they knew it all a long and Tessa and I are just as thrilled. We are going to name him after my Dad.. So little Scotty is on his way. Plus Tessa says Scotty soo cute! June will be here before we know it.

This next picture is per request of my Mom who lives in Cali and hasn't seen my belly in awhile, and my best friend Lindy who is due the same time I am but with a little girl. So see.. my belly is too getting bigger!

Tessa was so excited to celebrate her third birthday with all of her friends and family. We had a FABULOUS tea party! Everyone wore their best tea party hats! It was so dang cute! Can't believe my baby is three.

Opening her now new favorite toy/pillow. Her very own Pillow Pet! Anytime she is having some down time she runs to get her piggy pillow... she loves it! So glad Mom and Dad had to look ALL over for that thing.

Tessa was the official pouree of the tea (crystal light) She was very proud to do her job and very well at it I might say. We also had little peanut butter and honey sandwiches cut out in flowers, strawberries, pink marshmallows and flower shapes waffler cookies (thx Lissa). All of Tessa's favorite things.

Cheers!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!! We just love your fun, spunky, sassy, sensitive, and caring way. We are so glad you are a part of our family. We love you!!
