09 in a nutshell

I want to go back and summarize my year of 2009.
It was probably the most eventful, happiest, saddest, hardest and thankful year we have had for awhile.

To name a few things I got pregnant with our third bundle of Joy.
Unfortunately Micah got laid off from his previous job. It was good and bad. Good because I was too sick to take care of my boys and it was nice for him to be home. Bad because now it's penny pitching time. When I started feeling better Jetblue finally called me after a year and I was hired and went into training for 6 weeks straight so I have to say it was great timing, money wise and insurance and Micah was able to watch the kids while I was in training. I am thankful to say he finally got a job after 6 months.

This year my sweet uncle Danny passed away. He was the riverton worker who died in the manhole. I still can't believe hes gone. He was such a wonderful man to everyone around him I believe there was a reason to his short time here on earth. Heavenly Father needed him. I miss him but I have to say I don't miss his wet willies...yuck!!! He was the biggest teaser!

We had a lot of fun days this year we became closer as a family I have to say micah not having work brought our family closer he was always working long hours and never had much time for family he made up those long hours and spent his time off playing with the boys and we had the best time going to our little beach by house for picnics almost every other day. It was our vacation we could pretend we were at California but then the kids would say ...we didn't go on the airplane. We made that up to them when we finally got to use my jetblue benefits and go to SanDiego for a couple of days. The boys had a blast. They caught the biggest clams I have ever seen. We brought them home packed in there sand bucket in our suitcase still alive when we returned home but not for long.

This year Mason started Preschool ...and like Aiden he didn't like it either the second day he ran back into the house and locked the door on me because he didn't want to go. Now I can't say he loves going because he still wines about it but he doesnt put up a fight. He will sometimes go to his calendar and ask me what he is making in school that day. It helps that his teacher is in our ward so he gets to know her a little bit better each week. Her daughter when off track just malls him to death. He gets a little more special treatment when her daughter is home.
He is getting so big I don't want him to grow up. I still want him to be our little macy. He is so funny and says the funniest things. He loves to sing and dance. His favorite song right now is Grandma got ranover by a reindeer!!! and we have to sing it by using everyones name in the family instead of "grandma" it would be daddy. He is the master at building puzzles. Aiden's first day of kindergarten

Aiden started Kindergarten this year at Providence Hall. He was so excited the first day and then after that it took him about three months to not put up a fight to go. He didn't like it because you had to learn and couldn't play the whole time. ha ha!! His best friend Parker is in there and loves seeing him. His teacher called him the social butterfly because he chats to everyone during carpet time and doesn't pay attention to the teacher. He is getting better now. I had to sit and talk to him about it. He is good at writing and drawing, but still doesn't like to read he would rather play legos which he amazes me ....he got a few sets that were for ages 8-12 and put together in one day it was a big pirate ship I couldn't believe it. He loves building and creating his own little lego master pieces. But we do need to spend more time reading though.

The boys played Soccer for the first time this year it wasn't until the last game until Aiden got confident on kicking the ball he did really good and then it was over. Mason just ran with the kids didn't have a clue on what was going on he just loved to run. He he. Also this was Masons first year playing t-ball. He was the smallest one on his team all you could see is his little feet running because his shirt was too long and the helmet was too big. He did pretty good though at hitting the ball.

To end the year....we had a third little boy...Macoy. I'm not sure when his exact due date was I just new he was going to come the end of Sept or the first week of October and he did. My doctor induced me on October 2nd but when Iwent in I was having contractions so I probably would of had him that day either way. It was a smooth labor all except the time when I almost passed out I guess I turned all clammy and pail and the nurse rushed in and gave me some oxygen and it was all good. I went in at 8:00 and had him 2:45 actually micah left at 1:00 for an errand because I wasn't doing much progress and then I quickly called him back because I went from a 6 to a 9 in a half an hour. That was a close one. He was born 7.6 and 191/2 long. Beautiful boy he looked like both Aiden and Mason he was a perfect mix of the two. He was healthy although his blood sugar was way low they took him in the nursery for the first few days to feed him. After that it was good to bring him home where the kids just loved him to death. Aiden would hold him for hours and hours and Mason would want to hold him but then seconds later give him back.

That sums up our year in a nutshell. We also got called to be Missionary Leaders which is nice because we do it as a couple but it's a trial for me I'm not the type to just go and invite neighbors who are inactives or not a member about the gospel. With prayer and guidance Heavenly Father finds the way for me to make friends with them. I have to say it's been my hardest calling.

I am happy for the New Year, I just hate getting older!!!!!!
