Just Counting all my blessings

I have so many things to be thankful for and this time of the year give me time to reflect on all the great blessings the Lord has blessed me with. I have a wonderful husband who does the dishes and the laundry, puts the kids to bed when I am super tired and feeding the baby, who thinks about me and the kids first before himself, who has hobbies that make him happy and he lets the kids help with them, who works really hard so that I am able to stay home with my children. I have three wonderful children who bring happiness, joy, laughter and the spirit into my home everyday. Kynlee is so tender, she is the best big sister any little brother could ask for. She cries when they cry, she hurts when they hurt and best of all she plays so well with Krayden. Right now she is reading him a book and now it sounds like they are going to go play babies. That is their new game, they both get binkies (I don't know if I should encourage that but it is so funny) and play that they are babies or some times kynlee is the mom and then they switch and Krayden becomes the "mom". We all have good health, a house to live in, cars to get us where we need to go, clothes to wear, food to eat and we are surrounded by people that care for us and those that we care for. We have family close to help us when we need it, we have family far that are willing to help us when we need it. Prayers have been answered and we are working on our food storage. I have the gospel in my life and the knowledge of the plan of salvation and the atonement. Parents who taught me the gospel and how to gain a testimony of my own. Even though they are now divorced I know that they still both love me, Jon and my kids and they would do anything for me. I am thankful the Lord gives me serveral chances to work on patience in a day. And now I can be thankful that Kynlee can put Krayden's diaper on and get them out of the tub. She just came in and said "we are all done and I dried off Krayden and put his diaper on." He just came in and it looks pretty good.

More of the "Little Guy"

****CAUTION LONG POST****

Where to begin? I was schduled to be started on Nov 12 and was supposed to call at 7:00 that morning....I wake up around 2:30 with "pains" I have had similar pains throughout the last part of my pregnancy so I thought nothing of them. I just laid in bed waiting for them go away. After ten minutes I fell back asleep until about 3:00 when the pain woke me up again but this time a lot stronger. I get up and walk around to see if that would help, nope, so I lay back down, that made it worse so I get up again. Jon is now awake since I can't hold still and I keep saying "oh my gosh this really hurts" it's now around 4:30 I keep telling myself just to hold on I am supposed to have this baby anyways today. After 20 more minutes of intense pain Jon calls Jeremy and he comes over to stay with the kids (Judy is schduled to arrive at 7:00 just in case that is my call in time) I didn't want to wake them up so I was trying my hardest to wait until Judy got there but the pain won. It was really weird with my other two kids the contractions would happen then they would ease up and I could catch my breath with this one the pain was constant and then would just get worse. We made it to the hospital in record time. They checked me in and got me all set up and I got my drugs and was able to rest for awhile. Once I had the medication it went pretty easy. I was able to labor by myself and was not givin any pit which was nice. At 1:02 that afternoon our "little guy" was born.

I loved how he was bathed right in my room

Krayden watching football. He would get mad if we changed the station.
That's my boy.

Cutest three kids on the block





Kynlee wanted to "sleep over"

All ready for the ride home

His bilirubuen was really high when we left the hosptial so we had to supplement with a bottle. She is the best big sister ever.

Krayden can't get enough of him. He hold him for about a minute and then is done but a minute later he wants to hold him again.

Trevin loves to sleep with the blanket and both hands on his face.

My Aunt Becky came from Houston to help me out. We couldn't have done it without her. At night she would bring him into me when he woke up. I would feed him and if he wanted to be awake for alittle while after that she would take him and let me go back to bed. I know I have the BEST aunt EVER.

Aunt "Baukey" and Krayden.

I bet Becky has never read so many children books in such a short amount of time. This is what the three of them did for the majority of the day.

Becky WE LOVE YOU!!!!
