June 2010

June was a fun month. Jason started his new job. They have a playground there. Lots of fun. We also were "lucky" enough for the kids to have swimming lessons 2 times! Bonny came and played. We loved it. It is getting harder and harder every year to entertain the kids over the summer in this house.

May 2010

The first few days of May were beyond hectic. On April 30 we drove to Mesa, we stayed there for a birthday party for my Granddad, then we left on May 2. It was so fast up and down and we were so tired when we got home. I love love love going to Mesa. We stayed with my Aunt Laura and my Uncle David. It was the first time my kids have ever been to Mesa and it was the first time since I have been down since my Grandma died. It was different but we had fun. My Granddad got married 2 days after I had Axel so it was nice to see him and his wife (we already loved her though). Also Jason got a new job at the end of the month it was a lot of ups and downs but it was such a blessing to us and we love it.

April 2010

This month Jason and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. We had gone out to our now favorite restaurant the night before since he forgot to take the night off on our real anniversary and the next day I had roses and I forgot why I got them for a minute. I love my family!

March 2010

We spent most of March playing with Axel. He had spent the first two weeks of his life in his bed since he had to have a bili blanket and then every other day we had to go to the hospital for the poke on his heel to test the levels. It was so hard to do. Luckily while I was in the hospital Jason got this wonderful card for Sonic. It was a discount card that was given to everybody who worked in the school district and great thing for us there are 2 Sonics close by. One just down the street from the hospital too.  We ate there almost every day those two weeks that he had to go get checked.  I always have a hard time the first few weeks after I have a baby but this time I had a hard time since I also had a tubal ligation. My stomach hurt. I of course was emotional and I was tired.  I was also going to school and Jason was busy with his jobs. I couldn't just lay at home and put a movie on for the other kids so I could rest like I had done before. They are older and in school and need more. Luckily we have great people around us that would take the kids to school, and when we started letting the girls walk to school on their own, they would watch for them for us too. It is only across the street but it was a big step for us to do that. I had a great teacher that semester too. I took one class but the few weeks I couldn't think I was able to miss stuff and she would let me make it up later. It was hard but honestly making myself do things taking one step at a time and thinking, that I needed to get through this one thing say get the kids ready for school. I would do what I needed to and got them ready and then I could focus on something else.

February 2010

For some reason I can only post so many pictures on here at once and I have wasted enough time trying to get it. However February was a VERY eventful month. All weekend, we went to Chuck E Cheese, Jason baptized his nephew, had 2 valentines parties and had a BABY! Axel was born on Feb 16 and we are so lucky to have him  The picture of Gunnar is him with a toy from Lord of the RIngs that he is dethly afraid of.

2010 in Review - January

January

January was a fun month. Harley turned 7!! We also spent a lot of time preparing for Axel. I was so tired of shopping I was amazed at myself. Yes those are fake nails on Harley Jason took both girls there as a Daddy daughter thing. They loved it. I also had to throw in the picture of me being humongous. They were singing to her at the skating rink and she wanted me out there with her. Slightly embarrassing since my jacket didn't fit well (kind of pregnant and all). Later on she was sitting in the middle of the rink crying because she fell avoiding some older kids and wouldn't get up so instead of bending down to talk to her, I sat down in the middle of the floor and then next thing I know, there are people running up to me thinking I fell.
Also Gunnar started sleeping in his own bed. We spent alot of time playing card games as a family that Santa brought to us. A lot of fun!
