Bunch of Bench's: then there were four!

Monday, June 29, 2009

then there were four!

well, Tom is gone. Mississippi gets him for 3months while he learns the ropes of a chiropractic business through a doc in the VA hospital. So far things are great for him.

Life at home is still evening out. A new schedule with Jaydon and Eden in school 8-1230 and no dad. I hope we can mellow out...I'm tired of being mean, tired, ornery, impatient...and the list goes on.

Thanks to those who have already reached out to me.

On a more sore note...I exercise daily and biweekly with my personal trainer...Devin does a really good job whipping my sorry jello guts into shape...hopefully soon so I can walk up and down the stairs and do my hair without wincing in pain!

Jaydon's Jungle

"Mom, that baby sounds like a little puppy...he loves me!!" (when holding Eli for the first time)
After spending 3 hours at an urgent care, Jaydon says, "mom, I want to go home now!"
We were playing a game of hide and seek, when JJ said the cutest thing. I was the hider/monster and the kids were supposed to find me. Of course they were both scared and Eden said to JJ, "Go find her!" and Jaydon said, "NO, you find her...I hide, and YOU SEEK!" I thought it was so funny that he made that connection that the seeker, was the one that had to find the "monster"
Jaydon might be little but he has "quick feet" In about 1.2 seconds Jaydon ran from one end of the mall to the other during the busy christmas shopping. This was his first time getting lost EVER- I pooped my pants and then frantically went looking for him. All he had to say for himself was, "I ran fast!" Is this a good thing?? The new rule is: sit and scream.
Jaydon told me today that he has a baby in his tummy too!
Jaydon learned today about the letter "P" I asked, What starts with "P"? He articulately said, "PINK PIG" it was sooo cute!
Jaydon points to letters on our computer reading, "Toshiba" and says...T, O, S, H, I, B, A,...computer" at least he's trying!
Jaydon got a cough from preschool!

Maren's Moments

Our Heavenly Father is a just and loving father. He is fair in ALL things. I realize every day the miracle of change and now, the miracle of life!
As I contemplate the crazy future of a new baby, career, house and life I feel only the comfort of the Lord that all will work out for the better if I can have FAITH. Hard.
I felt a connection between me and a grieving mother as I viewed pics of her stillborn son. Exactly the way Amy had...I am so greatful for my knowledge of the atonement, and of the plan of salvation.
Christmas shopping is done...thank you thanksgiving sales!
I held a chiropractic adjustment for the first time in 15 years! That's a lot of crack!
I am sick AGAIN after just getting over my first sickeness of the year...BLAST!
During our ultrasound on Monday, baby #4 (a boy) held up his hand a showed me the "I Love You" sign with his hand. It was a sweet morsel of love from our Heavenly Father....so neat to see!

Eden's Epiphanies

"mom, can you show me where the baby popped a hole in your tummy and came out??"
Eden asked me, "mom, do you have two or one babies in there?" When I told her one she was very dissappointed. She was sure we would both get one to take care of!
We were flipping through tv channels when Eden flipped out and said, "Mom, STOP! I want to watch the cheese show!" (referring to Sponge Bob, which she has never before known about!)
The other day Eden asked me, "Mom, is that your saddle?" I said, "NO, this is my bra!"
"Mom! Your potatoe has a booger on it!" Eden exclaimed when she saw the chive on my baked potatoe!
"You gotta be kiddin me dad..." Eden said when tom was late for bedtime stories.
Eden looking at a farm book yells out, "Mom! That cow has lots of penises!" Frantically I look to see her pointing to the cows udders...the bad part is that we were in a doctors office waiting!!!!
"Yeah Diarrhea's!" (referring to Quasadillas for dinner)
