Not fun, but it was interesting to have had a different experience. Jill- labor 10 hours, pushing 1 hour, Liam 15 hours, pushing 2 hours. Jill- good epidural, Liam 2 failed epidurals= el naturale! Thought it was supposed to get easier as you add kiddos, oh well. This best part of this birth is that I got to have my baby with me in the room whereas Jill was carted off within an hour of being born, didn't get to see her for 8 hours, and then 6 days in the hospital.<div><br /></div><div>But we are so happy to have Liam in our family. He is so cute and cuddly. The last two nights he has slept 6 hours. I hope our luck doesn't run out. It is really interesting getting used to a boy. We have gotten peed on 4 times. Deciding what shade of blue to wear. And trying not to call him Jill or Carter (my nephew). Jill is being a great big sister, so helpful. She loves her baby brother so much. Hopefully someday she will call him Liam, and not "baby brother."</div><div><br /></div><div>We are truly blessed to have two beautiful children.

It is just an outlet to be able to share about our lives, and journal about life at the same time.<div>I just put Jill down for her nap, so I thought I would update, and put off all the other things I have to do.</div><div>Well, the big story lately is that we are having another baby. We were a bit surprised and excited. About a week after we found out, the plague arrived. And 10 weeks later, it is still here. I throw up constantly. I feel like I am on a roller coaster of nausea. One minute I feel great, the next I am hovering over the toilet. Lovely, eh? Poor Gary has had to do so much around here. Cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, everything. I can't go into the kitchen, it is clean, but something about the smell of food, puts me over the edge. We basically haven't cooked since Christmas. That is exaggerating, but it seems like it. I will be 14 weeks tomorrow, the dr. said that is the magic number for the exit of this awful plague, so we will see. I am expecting to wake up tomorrow with a whole new outlook, so we will see.</div><div>Jill is hoping for a girl, Gary would like a girl for practical reasons, I want a girl for name reasons. I don't want another Gary Joseph. I love my husbands name, but I don't want two Garys in the house.

It is rewarding. Time goes by much faster. And I have to keep a calendar so I don't forget the many things I have to do each day.</div><div><br /></div><div>But I live for Tuesdays. We have no where to be. I can hang out with my cute little girl. I can get caught up on laundry, emails, and cleaning. I can stay in my jammies, play princess, and dance.</div><div>My little one is asleep, so I had better get this post done before she wakes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Several months ago, Gary and I started to research about having backyard chickens. We have talked to several people, read countless websites. So we have started our new hobby. Last Saturday we purchased Chicken Little and Baby Chicken (these are their names, but we don't know who is who.) Names picked by Jill. Gary started building there coop. The chickens have been in cages since birth, so they loved being on the grass, scratching, and pecking at the ground. Gary built their coop from an idea in his head. He is amazing. We got two eggs from one chicken on the first two days here. And none until yesterday. We got one. They are very well behaved. Very quiet (thankfully for us and the Marlers) And love to come and greet us when we come out to see them.</div><div>We have been trying to train them to walk down their ramp to be on the dirt. This morning one was on the ground and one up in their roost. They were a bit more noisy. I think they are sad when separated. So I took Jill's little broom and tried to shoo it down the ramp. Instead it flew out of the coop right at me. I screamed, Jill laughed, and we corralled it and got it back into the coop. It was pretty funny. I think this is going to be fun.</div></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB6M68WYaPPnK2uhq0FTW2TN8v0-3FVjqrT3jln0tup-BrgrHIVlUCK9iodLBN-IXxz0o0fX_NeFJBfhvT15kN4NR2GGgCAvwZQ81tEvvfHW5_5Jz7lvn5uCQlTt8h7Y5NdyzuuDaj1G0/s1600-h/DSC01180.JPG"><img style="display:block;

It was going to be pretty late, so we put this kiddos to bed. Jill has been asking all day, "Where did Audrey and Jack go?" I have had to repeat myself multiple times, saying they went home. I think she thinks there are supposed to be living with us now....... <br /><br />Today has been a long day. Good and long.<br /><br />I am sitting here playing a game on the computer trying to get sleepy to go to bed. Jill is still awake and I am listening to her talk to her toys and "read" her books. Now she is whining saying she wants Daddy.......<br /><br />I am listening to Mormon Tabernacle Choir. They are my favorite.<br />Consider the Lilies and I believe in Christ are my favorites.<br /><br />This week has been a bit stressful and has worn me down. Gary's work has been a bit stressful as well. I was feeling particularly sorry for myself and down in the dumps. As I was feeling this way, I got a call that a woman in our ward was in the hospital. Now this isn't just any woman, this is who my husband would also call his Grandma. Her name is Leafy Gardner. I love her name.<br /><br /><div>I went to visit her. It was a 2 hour visit. I was enveloped by her love, her spirit and her knowledge. There were several times where I was in tears by some of the counsel she gave and the responses she gave to some things we have been going thru. She told me how much she loved me and Gary. She talked of the love she has for her family and her husband. I love her stories about growing up, eating everything on her plate because you never knew when there would be more food and having to do her homework by a kerosene lamp, so she is used to the dark. I could see she was getting tired but I didn't want to leave.<br /><br /><br />I came away from the visit believing I was on the receiving end more than she. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve. </div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06220416457096008005noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54800283782209428.post-65858522216687775582009-08-18T11:01:00.000-07:002009-08-18T11:13:55.672-07:00Great weekend!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSUWtV9o_EeIv1f7dkrpw7TWoDkmS44MH4mLrEBFLB5dDljY4ikY0RN0_idyu0xk7zykhyphenhyphenfXHWNMLHd0E6ba4cI2nWhpuY9zdae_N00a51STxjTMIQgRhaKMdVOO7ai165pmhuy32nM8c/s1600-h/DSC00992.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSUWtV9o_EeIv1f7dkrpw7TWoDkmS44MH4mLrEBFLB5dDljY4ikY0RN0_idyu0xk7zykhyphenhyphenfXHWNMLHd0E6ba4cI2nWhpuY9zdae_N00a51STxjTMIQgRhaKMdVOO7ai165pmhuy32nM8c/s400/DSC00992.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371368587856789634" /></a><br />Happy birthday to my 3 year old! Can't believe it! She is three! <br /><br />When she turned one I was sick, and also at three. THis year was just a bad cold. When she was one *WARNING* we went to pick up her cake and I had to stop and throw up in the bushes...... It is not so fun trying to plan and carry out when you feel miserable! But It was fun. You kind of forget your misery and have a good time. <br /><br />We had two parties, one on Friday night with all of our family. It was great to have everyone together. We have a great family!<br /><br /> We had our first kid party for Jill. We weren't going to do it, then about a week before Gary helped me change my mind. We had 8 little girls over. we decorated cookies and Katie painted their faces. Then we opened presents and ate cake. They were full from eating cookies, so not much cake was eaten. So cute! Then they went and played in Jill's room. It was simple and fun, a bit busy at times. But I'm glad we did it. I am very grateful for Mom, Terry, Katie, and Gary who helped! <br /><br />Fun times.

She gets to celebrate three times. At school, with family, and with friends. I think I am more excited then she is. I love the planning and preparation. However, this year, I have had a horrible cold. So my last minute prep is not getting done. Gary has kindly picked up the slack.

Gary got home from work and after dinner we got into a bit of a discussion. Gary likes to hunt and fish, and I am glad he has those outlets to de-stress. I was telling him I wish I had something to help me "escape" from life. It boiled down to: I need a hobby.<br /><br />And the following Tuesday I received my new "hobby." I will be serving the women in our ward (geographical area of our church in our town) as a Relief Society President. This is a huge responsibility and I am very humbled that the Lord would have me do this. I know it will be fun, rewarding, hard work, and time consuming.<br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333399;">What a better hobby to have, than serving others. </span></b><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />These girlies crack me up:</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszvYIh_lug_ucMLyistCNQAfOvQoZQs4kJysVTbxO6icq33v-3hnw-W-Aq4trelkoojT7IXWSnH7MxarBHJvJ11KUCHH0G9FhYZbmFZHxyNDDUjcbVjf0F3FxTHP4FzLMTStLrUFLZ1Q/s1600-h/DSC00794.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszvYIh_lug_ucMLyistCNQAfOvQoZQs4kJysVTbxO6icq33v-3hnw-W-Aq4trelkoojT7IXWSnH7MxarBHJvJ11KUCHH0G9FhYZbmFZHxyNDDUjcbVjf0F3FxTHP4FzLMTStLrUFLZ1Q/s320/DSC00794.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360400388605943202" /></a>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06220416457096008005noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54800283782209428.post-50074229989868371502009-07-08T11:38:00.000-07:002009-07-08T11:45:40.853-07:00What a Thriller.........I remember being a young girl, probably 8 or 9. Just falling asleep....... <br />In comes my dad, saying, "Amy wake up!" <br />I was bleary eyed. <br /> "What Dad?" <br />"Come in here and watch the tv!" <br /> There was Michael Jackson, singing on MTV, which was a brand new tv station! <br />It was the Billie Jean music video. Dancing on the lit-up side walk, with the leaves blowing in the breeze. <br /><br />I will never forget it. This is where my interest in pop music culture began. <br /><br />I begged for the Thriller album. My parents got it for me. It was treasured. <br /><br />I was sad yesterday watching bits and pieces of the memorial. I have been listening to he music all week.<br /><br /> I love his music.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06220416457096008005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54800283782209428.post-29651794144921522752009-07-06T09:06:00.000-07:002009-07-06T11:17:02.482-07:00Happy 4thWe had a great day! <br /><br /> Gary got to go fishing.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBlJd5kOIPniPkXWTMmek7lB-2Q0tTUN_3ZinSXe0yN2V-hCVzIZEDF4u_qfvl4yD6eEx6LNGR-APP1YyFt64R9AepSiQlxFYzddAYpkbrSU0KlXcL5iRJspC4pfoMVZwfFylRG1LfvpI/s1600-h/IMG_0199.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBlJd5kOIPniPkXWTMmek7lB-2Q0tTUN_3ZinSXe0yN2V-hCVzIZEDF4u_qfvl4yD6eEx6LNGR-APP1YyFt64R9AepSiQlxFYzddAYpkbrSU0KlXcL5iRJspC4pfoMVZwfFylRG1LfvpI/s320/IMG_0199.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355379561376695954"></a><br />Jill took a great nap, so I got to watch a movie.

We decided to go camping at the beach. We left Friday afternoon, traveled to south of Monterey, and there were no campsites to be found, all full. We went to at least ten campgrounds. We ended the night is a cheap Motel 6, and continued our quest the next day.<br /><br />Day 2-- We went to Pismo Beach/Oceano dunes, which is a HUGE place, again campground full. We did stay there for a few hours, had lunch and played in the water. We had a very anxious girl, who was ready for the beach!!! On to Morro Bay, nothing. We ended up 25 miles north of Santa Barbara at Lake Cachuma. (Coincidently, down the street from Neverland ranch) It was a place I don't care to go back to. When I picture camping, I think of mountains, trees, cooler weather, a lake or river to play in. This place was the exact opposite. It was 100 degrees. We did have shade, but many others did not. There was a lake but you couldn't go swimming in it, due to it being used for human consumption, yet fishing boats could be in it. It was ridden with squirrels. Yet it was camping, we got to have a fire, roast marshmallows, play games, climbed trees, etc. It was fun. <br /><br />Day 3-- we headed back north on PCH1 and decided we would stay at the first campground we found. We stayed at San Simeon state park, just south of Hearst Castle. It was great. We got to camp near the beach and go play, it was cool weather. It was perfect! We had a great weekend. <br /><br /> Camping is the way to go for a cheap and fun vacation. Pull stuff out of the cupboards and freezer. Gary keeps all his camping gear ready (i.e. stove, plates, matches, Sleeping bags) We just open a cupboard and put it in the truck. YET, we learned you HAVE TO HAVE RESERVATIONS at least 2 days in advance in California. <br /><br />Pictures are not in order.....<br /><br />Gary is our master chef!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim23d5qhhTO9Tk3aWutty7WAg7DpXyHdpoGBssBtMP-VIRB9WRo9vekBxbOdBMbPZ1cPPIiiEKdV9zaWn_1icWR87XktLxbf0FoqMFCoNP_WaxY01YIY0m3Ua8ZnO6EvmLSNd1Z4R073g/s1600-h/DSC00708.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim23d5qhhTO9Tk3aWutty7WAg7DpXyHdpoGBssBtMP-VIRB9WRo9vekBxbOdBMbPZ1cPPIiiEKdV9zaWn_1icWR87XktLxbf0FoqMFCoNP_WaxY01YIY0m3Ua8ZnO6EvmLSNd1Z4R073g/s320/DSC00708.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353662229619751202" /></a><br />Pretty girl loved the beach<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisguqs6JuZatMyhdijoJhBpdRYZhF-cu7INX992lNNrqefzufJXn_VHSOP-SfPbllv1hczVLBcrrOvBlSjnJNeF6VhdVPS_fz038L_Cw5C_j6wA4vdb2siQ18ajwVCcc_DIsPKS-VuUfI/s1600-h/DSC00680.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisguqs6JuZatMyhdijoJhBpdRYZhF-cu7INX992lNNrqefzufJXn_VHSOP-SfPbllv1hczVLBcrrOvBlSjnJNeF6VhdVPS_fz038L_Cw5C_j6wA4vdb2siQ18ajwVCcc_DIsPKS-VuUfI/s320/DSC00680.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353662223367685490" /></a><br />Mommy and Jill posing for Dad, proof I was there too!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUhomy-mc7njvIz7mSPMkM8NF2niksib1spoWfI_Mp1Ei1X2Q_eVfoPZIKitiv-BXKrkJC4uss5uyf4WVN5XocRYoQEQukJKIbsh3jEgVts_K_s1ZXJ00hRpWq8lx8m4LQL-F2MExE988/s1600-h/DSC00696.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUhomy-mc7njvIz7mSPMkM8NF2niksib1spoWfI_Mp1Ei1X2Q_eVfoPZIKitiv-BXKrkJC4uss5uyf4WVN5XocRYoQEQukJKIbsh3jEgVts_K_s1ZXJ00hRpWq8lx8m4LQL-F2MExE988/s320/DSC00696.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353662216323417042" /></a><br />Jill would not wait for a swimsuit, so she went in her clothes!

This is a bittersweet post.<br /><div>I just found out about two jobs, I was hoping for, are not going to work out. I am very disappointed. I have been feeling this wasn't the path for me (to go back to work full time) but it is still very hard to deal with. Pride gets in the way. The construction world and teacher world are just <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">not</span></span> the professions to be in right now, especially in California. So I don't know what is going to happen. I know we will be blessed. But I feel it is still our responsibility to do all we can. I will be researching other possibilities for the next little while. </div><div><br /></div><div><br />In the mean time I get to be with this little girl. She is such a joy.

"Tuesdays with Morrie" Based on the book by Mitch Albom, it depicts a story of a man on his way to death, and he takes us along for the ride. Mitch rekindles his friendship with his teacher, Morrie Schwartz, a retired college professor, who has ALS, or Lou Gerhigs disease. I show it at the end of teaching our Mental Health unit. To me, Morrie is the opitome of one who is mentally healthy. He is dying yet he is positive and still teaches others, mainly Mitch, how to love, die, be dependent on each other, and on and on. One of my favorite quotes he states, "We must love each other or die." He goes on to talk about how when we are babies we crave love, to be cuddled and held. We need others to care for us. And at the end of our lives we depend on others just as much, but it is in the middle where we need each other the most. I just love that counsel from this teacher. It renews me to try and stay positive and happy. Even when this man is dying he makes jokes and teaches us to be happy. Just thought I would share. Check it out. <br /><br />Can't wait for GNO!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06220416457096008005noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54800283782209428.post-45077653247454522062009-05-26T20:50:00.000-07:002009-05-26T20:56:09.761-07:00Frustration.....In this day in age a job is a good thing to have and to hold on to.<div><br /></div><div>I left my job to be a mother, then times got tough.

We wanted to appease her, so we went to the pet store first. As we are walking pas Kohls and Staples, Jill was walking in between us and we were swinging her up and down. Not very high, just enough to get her off he ground. Jill loves it, as I know most kids do. We stopped just as we got to the door of Petco, she started to cry. Nothing alarming, she stops, we walk to see the kitties, she starts to cry again, harder. We look at the mice, and then the screaming begins. She is holding her right arm. JIll is a pretty tough kid, so I know something is really wrong when she doesn't want to play with the animals. I pull out our insurance card to call and see if we can get an appointment. I think her arm is broken or dislocated. We walk back to the car. I got an appointment. She is just in so much pain. Of course I am bawling too. We get to the doctor , get right in, Dr comes in. Jill won't let her touch her arm. The dr. feels it. Says she'll be right back. She comes back with papers. I'm thinking we have to go get x-rays. She says its called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursemaid's_elbow">nursemaids elbow</a>. The bones are still forming so they can shift easily. So one of the bones in Jill's arm moved out of place. She takes her arm and moves it around, Jill and I are both sobbing. When she is done, Jill stops crying and is instantly fine. She asks her to grab a couple of stickers out of the Dr's hand and she does so easily. She wouldn't let go of her hurt arm before. Just like that, she is back to normal. Amazing! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So please be careful when you swing or pull on your kids arms! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: medium;">So our afternoon didn't quite go as planned. But we went back to see the kitties and the fishes. She was happy. We are taking a nap now. This took a lot out of us.</span></span>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06220416457096008005noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54800283782209428.post-33463522889994039742009-05-04T10:25:00.000-07:002009-05-04T10:29:52.479-07:00a funnyI gave jill some rainbow sherbet last night, and later when I was cleaning the kitchen, I didn't remember picking up her bowl from the table.
