Harley and Gunnar

These were actually taken 2 different nights. They both started out sleeping laying down and then I came out and they were sitting like this. Very cute!

Gunnar is 3!

Here are some of my favorite pics of Gunnar that I have on my computer I don't have any newborn because those are on a disc somewhere, I don't know where though.he is such a sweet boy and we love him so much!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

These books make me laugh so hard. The third one comes out in January. They are for elementary school/ jr high but they are hilarious. I was laughing out loud and Jason made me get out of the room because I couldn't stop.

Novalee and Harley started school

These first 4 pictures are of Novalee's first day of school. She is in 2nd grade and she was so excited. I am still having a hard time adjusting to her being that old. Harley of course had to take her picture that day too even though her school didn't start until the next week. I put those 3 up of Novalee because she kept closing her eyes in the pictures. Then in the last one she was getting mad at me because she was done taking pictures. I know that is amazing for her!
Harley started the following Tuesday and is loving kindergarten. She was up that morning around 5:30 and got herself ready and was worried that we were going to be late. She didn't even cry when I left! That shocked me. I didn't have time to get upset or anything or really think about how big she was getting at that moment though because I had to take Gunnar up to get xrays as soon as I dropped her off.
I thought I was lucky on getting away with meltdowns. I discovered she does cry and through fits if I stay to help and then leave.
I am loving both of their classes and next week after things have calmed down and we start to get used to our schedules I am excited to get to know their teachers better and their classes.

I missed some birthdays!

Jason and my Grandma both had birthdays last month. I love them both so much.

The Secret is Out!

Since I am so honest about my life on this blog, I should come clean about something. Jason punches me, well according to the guy at the drive thru at the bank. We were hitting each other because we are very mature and then he got me back and it hit my head into the seatbelt thing. The guy sat there and stared at us and then said, "Oh you guys are kidding, I thought I was going to have to get out and kick some a**" (Edited for innocent ears) Good thing I don't have the fat lip anymore. Jason said if he had tried to do that he could have taken him down with one punch. I then said I would defend Jason by saying he only hits me when I don't clean the house.

The Last Few Days

Well, since I am incredibly tired I will explain what has gone on for the last few days. Let me say first that Gunnar is fine. He started walking, with a limp, a few days before the mri so we think it must have been a bruised bone.
Anyways the reason I am so tired is that last night one of our nephews on Jason's side was born but didn't live. I am glad I went up to Salt Lake last night to see him before he died and I am glad that I wasn't there when he did. I can't handle things like this good. It turns out that his body was born with so many birth defects inside there was no way they could fix them. Last week they found out something was wrong with his heart and that would be able to be fixed when he was 6 months old. He was unexpectedly born at 32 weeks (maybe 34 can't remember) and when he was born, which is actually a story in itself how he was born. They found new problems and later on they found even more when they started operating on him to help him breathe.
I was having such a hard day and just couldn't get myself together. I kept having to go in my room and just take a deep breath and relax. Luckily tonight I talked to one of my wonderful friends Carla, and she always knows what to say to help me to feel better. She helped me realize with all that was wrong with his little body that it was such a miracle that he lived to even take his first breath not to mention almost 12 hours. I feel so grateful in a sad way that I was able to see him and touch his little arm. Its just amazing how miraculous the whole thing.

I promise I have many posts to tell what is going on

I have so much going on right now and I can't think clearly about just the last 24 hours but today while I was driving the girls were fighting over who was more popular. They are 7 and 5. Huh
