Fall

Last Monday, for Family Home Evening Six couples from our ward (Our neighbors) got together to carve pumpkins. It was way fun. Three of our neighbors are pregnant and we are very excited for them. It was fun to get to know each other better. Jason dicided to carve a face. He wanted to make our neighbor's face (Alex). Ya, it didn't work very well. Alex decided to do the same thing for his pumpkin. He made Jason's face. Well here are some pictures!!!

Last Sunday was baby Lea's one month birthday. She wasn't very happy when we wanted to take pictures, but she is always way cute!!!

Leiahna's Blessing

We went down to Oregon for Leiahna's Blessing. We figured it would be easier for everyone to go there instead of coming up to cold Rexburg. That was a very busy week! But it was so much fun. Baby lea looked beautiful in her white dress. She is a doll!! I can't wait for her to grow up.

 Delivery Story


I noticed that before I didn't mention that she was born Friday, September 16th at 1:28am. She weighed 6 lbs. and 14 oz.  and 19 inches.  She was only 4 days early. The delivery was around 7 hours. I started having contractions about 1 to 2 min apart while I was eating dinner. At first I didn't want to go to the hospital, so I took a shower but they were getting worse. I got to the hospital and I was only one centimeter and I was completely effaced, so they decided to brake my water. The funny part was that the next morning I was supposed to get induced. Well the doctor told our families that it usually takes about an hour for each centimeter. I was only one, so it would take around 9 hours for me to be dilated all the way. The doctor told them that they should go home. I was still having contractions about every minute. By the way, at first, contractions are not supposed come that fast until you are almost complete!! The pain was so bad, that I told jason I wanted an epidural. The nurse said that I needed to wait until I was 3 centimeters. In my mind I was thinking Ok I can do two more hours. An hour later she came to check me, I was already 3 centimeters. The epidural was amazing. I could still feel my contractions that were still every minute, but I felt so much better. By the way I didn't feel the needle from the epidural because I was having a contraction when it was happening. So after that, maybe three hours later, the nurses come to check on me. Everyone had left by then and I was complete!!! I couldn't believe it!!! I was so excited. Jason called his parents and mine. The nurses helped me push for an hour before calling the doctor. When the doctor came I only push a few times and Leiahna came into this world!!! It was such a great experience!! Jason was so supportive. I was so proud of him! I was scared that he was going to faint, but he did great!!

Keally is Eight!!!

My little sister, Keally, turned eight on Thursday Sept. 29th. She was so excited because on Saturday she would get baptized. She looked very beautiful.

Leiahna's room

We finally decorated Leiahna's room. It was such a huge transformation from an office to a little princess room. It was so much putting everything together. I can't wait until she comes. I have less than a month!!! Here are some pictures!!!

Summer Time!!!

School is over!!! Well... not for me. I'm taking a class online. I'm glad to say that Jason and I did very well in school. I took 17 credits while being  pregnant and I was still able to get a 4.0!!! We are so excited for Leiahna to be part of our family and school life!!! Last week was so much fun. We went to Dana Point in California with Jason's family. The weather was great!! It was so nice to relax and enjoy each other. I flew back to Oregon with Kami to attend my nephew's and brother-in-laws b-days. Michael (Brother -in- law) is going into the Air Force this next weekend, so it was fun to see him before he leaves for six months. Jason stayed in California to help Tara and Andrew with their new home. I'm so excited for them!!! So while I'm away from Jason, I've been having sleep overs with my little sister Keally (P.S: She wanted me to say that). Here are so pics from our adventures!!!
