"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

Playing in the snow

We have had a few fun snowy days and the girls have really enjoyed it!! They got a new sled for Christmas and Josh has had fun pulling them behind the 4-wheeler. Baby Jaxon even got to go for a ride all zipped up in Daddy's coat to go to the neighbors house for a minute. The girls love the snow and play in it for hours. Kynzee has learned how to ride the snowmobile and we are hoping that she wont have another broken nose like we had last summer with the motorbike.

Sweet Baby Jaxon

I could have ten of these sweet baby boys!!! I just love him, he is so fun to have. My friend Kacey took these pictures of Jaxon, and I loved every one of them!!! Thanks Kacey.

I am so lucky to be a Mommy I love every day of it. I was so scared to have any more babies after Makenna and her horrible delivery, I said over and over that I would never go through that again, so when I found out I was pregnant this time the fear set in. I just wanted to come out of it alive and honestly up to the day I had Jaxon I was scared. My Dr. had reassured me that it was going to be better than last time and he was a different Dr. and did things differently. I just didn't trust him for some reason. I prayed that I could have the faith that it would be better than last time and that the baby and I would be healthy and strong. I got what I prayed for and I am so blessed. I cried and my whole body shook on that operating room table at 10:00 a.m. the morning I had Jaxon. I wanted out of that hospital and I wanted to go home to my girls where it was safe. But when the Dr. held my baby boy up to me and I saw the tears in Josh's eyes it was all worth it. All it took was that small moment for me to know for sure my prayers were answered and there were angels by my side watching over me. I have always struggled with faith, it comes easier for some that is for sure. It took getting this sweet baby boy in my life for me to have faith and know how blessed I am. I cannot believe I can go from being so afraid of having a baby to saying I could do this again in a second. It has been a month now and I am finally starting to feel better, things are looking good and I am so blessed. I still have a ways to go but I am on the better side that is for sure. The delivery was wonderful, my baby is wonderful and wonderful things have come to my family from having another baby. I feel so lucky to be alive and to have four beautiful, happy children. My family and my husband have helped me out so much this past month, I have been well taken care of , I feel like it takes a whole village to take care of me after having a c-section, but it is so worth it. Look at this sweet angel I have been given, I feel like the luckiest woman alive!!!!!















Picture with Santa

I was so glad that even though I had a week old baby we still got to take the kids to see Santa. I had a Dr. appointment that day and so on our way home we stopped in to see Santa. The kids gave him their long list of things they wanted and then we got this cute picture of no one crying!!! My girls, and of course the baby actually all really liked Santa this year it was great.

Merry Christmas 2009!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!! The kids bring so much fun to the house on Christmas I just love it. We were lucky to have Daddy home for Christmas this year, next year he has to work Christmas day (bummer)! We opened presents and then went to my parents house for a yummy turkey dinner. My whole family was there for dinner and we all had fun hanging out for the day. The kids played with all their cousins and it was a fun, fun day. Christmas is such a special day for me and this year it was even more special having a new baby boy in our home, what a wonderful way to spend Christmas! Christmas babies are so special, I will never forget this Christmas.
