Where to start

I know it has been a long time, but I just couldn't find the time to blog, we have been so busy, but oh well. After weeks of frustration Jeff has finally been able to find an Internship. We were so happy to have found one because if he hadn't we would have been pushed back another semester. There is only a small problem he works ALL NIGHT! As many of you know he is the night manager over at FedEx, so he starts there around 2pm and finishes around 9:45pm, and then goes straight to his Internship. Jeff works from 10pm till 7am then comes home gets in the shower and goes to bed. It never fails Sophia and Nathan wake up at that time so I get up with them and try to be as quiet as we can so Jeff can get some sleep. I don't mind that he's not around during the day because I'm used to that, but now nights uggg (dont like it at all) the first two nights were hard because I couldn't get much sleep knowing that he was away. BUT we are thankful that he was able to find this Internship, I just gets kinda lonely sometimes. Oh well (sigh)

The kids are doing good, Sophia just turned 4 months! She is a wonderful baby, she is always smiling and loves to be tickled, she adores Nathan and loves for him to talk to her. I took her to the doctor yesterday for her 4 month shots it was a bit dramatic as usual. Today was a bit harder on her since she got a little bit of fever. Hopefully tonight won't be too bad.

Nathan is an awesome brother he is always trying to protect Sophia and every time he hears her cry he goes to see what's wrong with her. Nathan loves to cook and play with his cars and Lego's. Next Monday Nathan will start going to 'summer' preschool we are so excited for him, he loves to play with other kids and loves going to school.

My two loves!

Cute!

My mom bought Nathan this tent and he loves it. He is always asking me to put Sophia in with him. I couldn't resist. I love my kids, they are my little angels, they are my little motor that keeps me going. Love you babies.

Well nothing exciting has happened lately so here are just some pics of Sophia.

Sophia's Blessing

We were able to bless Sophia yesterday, it was a wonderful experience. I wished I could of had more family over but living in a different country makes it a little difficult for everyone to come. I was lucky to have my mama, brother my cousin Leslie and her husband Bob over. We had so much fun with them. On Saturday we headed out to Jackson to see the snowmobile races and later that night we went to see The Rainmaker (excellent play-totally recommend it) On Sunday we had ribs for dinner and were soooo good. I'm posting some pictures of the blessing but will be posting more later because Bob took better pictures of Sophia with his awesome camera (next big purchase). I am so happy to have a wonderful husband like Jeff and for him to hold the Priesthood. I love you babe!

Sophia la Rumbera

Today Sophia turns a month old. I can't believe it! It seems like I had her yesterday. She has been a pretty good baby. She is extremely ticklish and loves it when we give her kisses on her neck. Sophia is totally a daddy's little girl, she still can't talk but she has Jeff already wrapped around her finger. It's so cute to watch Jeff melt around her.

Anyways, these are pictures that we have taken along this month.

In these pictures I was trying to take pictures of her funny toes. They are exactly like Jeff's, specially her big toe.

She also is very, very hairy as you can see she has Wolverine ears.



My momma and I


I am so that my mom was able to come and help me out with Nathan. Not only did she help me out with Nathan and Sophia, but she always made me laugh it was great to have her around. I don't think she knows how special she made me feel. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful and marvelous mom. I miss you sooooooooooooooooooo much already.


Priceless!

Nap time

Nathan loves his Abuela soooo much, they are truly best friends. He was so happy to have her around.

Baby Sophia

Finally my little baby girl has arrived. Last Tuesday I had my doctors appointment and told me that everything was good to go. He checked me and told me I was already a 5. I was very excited to hear that. Then he scheduled me to be induced on Monday at 11am. I was really nervous because when I had Nathan my epidural had not worked. It only worked for twenty minutes and then dissapeared so I was not looking forward to having those crazy contractions.

We headed to the hospital Monday morning and I had the most wonderful nurse named Saddie (and now that I think of it I should have taken a picture with her) she was wonderful. She was so nice and very helpful, I felt extremely comfortable with her. After starting the Pitosin, Dr. Meredith came in and broke my water around 1:30pm. They put my epidural in around 2, I was really scared it wouldn't work, since it didn't work with Nathan and I was in extreme pain. Anyways, Sophia pop out into this world at 3:50pm. She weighed 8 lbs, 1 oz and was 19.5 inches long. On a sad note she broke her collar bone but the doctor assures me it will heal in about a week or so.
