"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Christmas Eve

I have been very lucky this year for the holidays and even though I could not drive and wasn't in the best of shape or feeling very well, my family took very good care of me. Josh was working, so my Dad came over and drove me and the kids to my parents house on Christmas Eve so I could spend the evening with them. The power went out at my house and it was out at their house as well, so my Dad had a nice warm fire built and we sat around the fire and had fun with the kids. Then my mom made some yummy soup and we ate dinner. The kids had so much fun peeling and eating oranges that my Mom had for them. We watched the video from my brother Jesse's cruise to Mexico, and then went home. Josh was home from work so we opened our Christmas Eve pajamas and got ready for Santa. Kenna had already fallen asleep so she opened her pajamas in the morning. We had a fun, very relaxing, Christmas Eve and I was glad I didn't have to spend it alone. Christmas Eve was so exciting for the kids this year they couldn't wait for Santa to come!!! I am so thankful for my family and for all they have helped me with over the holidays.

Our "little man"

Whoever said that once you have three kids you can have as many as you want and it doesn't get harder.....they were lying!!!! I have heard that from so many people, well I think different. It has been much much harder I feel like I have doubled my numbers of children. My hands and arms are full every minute of the day and most of the night that is for sure. It has been so hard not to be able to lift my little ones up, 6 weeks is going to be a long time. Life is busy, but we are loving it. Here are some fun pictures of our "little man" over the last two weeks, I don't want to miss him growing up. I take more and more pictures with each child I have, I love them so much and I know how fast they grow. Life is wonderful and it has been so special to have a new baby in the house for Christmas. I have had people asking me to post about Jaxon's delivery and how it went, someday when I get more time I will write about it, I don't want to forget a thing. Having a baby truly is a miracle!! I am feeling better every day, there have been some days that haven't been so good, but I expected that from having my third c-section. I just look for a better day everyday and they come.

My sweet kids!!

O how I love these little angels!! I am just in heaven over this new baby boy. I have to tell you I was a little unsure about having a boy and now I am so in love I could have ten. Jaxon is such a sweetie and such a piece of heaven in our home right now. Here are some fun pictures of my little ones.

Our sweet baby Jaxon

I don't have a lot of time and sitting at the computer is about the least comfortable thing right now so this will be quick. We are home, I am grateful, and we sure love our new baby at our home. Here are some fun pictures of what has been going on in our lives the last week. It doesn't get any better than this. I love this little guy with all my heart. He is the best baby, and so sweet.
