Big Changes

I don't know that I'm ready for them, but they are here and coming fast!
Morgan starts Kindergarten tomorrow! I can't believe my baby is old enough to be in school. The sad thing is, before I know it he will be in first grade and gone all day not just the 2 hours and 45 minutes this year.
He's so grown up, and I am definitely being paid back. I was NOT a bad kid, or even a teenager that caused a lot of problems. But I was REALLY good at rolling my eyes. That little twerp of mine, is rolling his eyes at me. He hates it when I tell him he can't do something, and just last week my ever so polite kid that I hardly have to get after about anything, called me "Lame" What!?!
I thought the Tude would be coming from my already to much of a personality Daughter! She may have her run for her money.
On top of that Eva is starting pre-school. We decided to bite the bullet and pay for her to be out of my hair. In between the days she has school she will be going to Ballet and they are all morning classes. School and ballet will both start at 9 all week long. I see my gas bill going up. At least the school and dance studio are within a few miles of our house.
So It's just me and Miss Liberty for a couple hours a day four days a week.
Exciting I guess but I don't know what I will do with myself. Did I mention Morgan got new glasses. oh boy! I guess we will see how all this goes.
I am for sure not looking forward to getting to school for 745 every morning and having to drag the other 2 with me since Jake will have already left for work. I am not a morning person, never really have been. I could always get up and get to early morning seminary and school, but now that I have spent 6 years just "chillin" getting up is gonna be HARD to do!

Something I like to call "Sundates"

Ever have a day where the entire day you are updating your status in your head.

I always seem to be doing this but never really remember to do it. That being said I'm always laughing to myself because of what I have said.

Like today...

I sit down and think proudly to myself...we made it to Sacrament, the kids aren't killing one another, Jake and I didn't yell at each other(hard to believe i know) there's time to breathe....laugh to self...I even shaved my legs then I look down to admire my handy work and notice I missed a whole strip in the middle of my leg!

so here's my update.... Made it to church on time, so proud of myself then i saw the strip of hair left on my leg and realized today was a big FAIL.

Catch up

I guess I should start with our little one.

Liberty Eliza Toronto was born President's day. (hence the name)

I went in early to have my water broken, I progressed great and went all the way to 9.5 cm before getting my epidural. I'm so happy I did. I did a rest and descend and it was really a good thing for the baby. she was born with the cord wrapped 3 times around her neck. Had I been pushing out of pain it would have strangled her.Definite blessing in disguise. But now I know I can make it at least that  far with the next baby.

Liberty is the most perfect baby. Really she is the champion of champions when it comes to perfection. She has been sleeping through the night for months, she eats like a horse and she literally never cries. LOVE her.

She just had her 5 month check up and she is in the 50th for weight and head and 80th for height. We have some biggins' around her. My favorite thing about she has absolutely NEVER been sick. After my first two I deserve a healthy one.

As for the rest of us, Jake changed jobs. We literally had Liberty and Jake put his 2 weeks notice in. We had to take advantage of our good insurance. In his new job he is the IT man. He is the only programmer so he is always busy busy busy.

Morgan is starting Kindergarten. Which I cannot believe I am old enough to have a kid in school. Eva is getting ready for gymnastics and well I just drive everyone around. We did just trade our suv in and are now proud owners of a Chrysler Town and Country. We can fit 2 more kids in there, before we will be on the hunt for another one. hahaha

Other than that I have been a crafting queen lately and am absolutely loving how everything is coming together in our living room. I have decided that am going to do a sunday post regularly and see how that goes with keeping up with journaling our life.

I guess that is all for now
