so brad and i love our drives and the kids are no exception i cant tell you how many hours they have logged in the car. thank goodness for dvd players. whenever we find ourselves with free time we love to head to the bay. last friday we took the kids to the exploritorium. they loved it. maverick was running wild. wyatt was having a blast looking at all the exhibits with brad. i was craking up at brad (the germaphob) drinking out of a toilet.

this was my first field trip with 4 kids and me. lets just say next time i am bringing a helper. we started with regular ice skates for wyatt and monroe that lasted 2 seconds. i couldnt skate with them because i had the little boys. so luckily they had trainer skates and walkers to push around the ice. it was quite the sight to see my kids pushing walkers. maverick was wanting in on the action so this nice man let him try on some skates.

welcome 2009 it was such a blast to have something to do on new years. it seems that since the kids have come new years have been fair uneventful. with the exception of a super sweet kiss at midnight! this year we rang in 2009 with the mendiolas and went to on 80's prom party. GOOD TIMES! doesnt brad look smokin hot?

wyatt and monroe started preschool this week. they are loving it. it is so fun to pick them up from school and hear their little stories of how their day was. they have made some new friends however they can not remember their names. wyatt has decided to call his schoolmates dude. it is bitter sweet sending your kids off for part of the day without you. i feel like i am missing a

little chunk of their lives.

Pumpkin Patch

2008-11-21T16:10:00.000-08:00

i think this year we have started a new tradition. the mendiola's introduced us to bishops pumpkin patch. we all had a blast. the kids loved the hay ride to the patch. they also had fun mining for marbles and jumping on the hay covered tramp. we will definantly be back next year.

first time for everything

2008-09-14T23:03:00.000-07:00

today cash did a lot of things for the first time. the first time he felt the sun hit his skin, he heard the sound of music, he road in a car, he got a look at his new home and even the first time he had a little BM.

he kinda looks like a frog just before he starts crying.

this was the kids first look at cash

hasta la vista party of five

2008-09-13T09:49:00.000-07:00

so yesterday was our last day as a family of five. brad and i took wyatt and monroe out on our aliminum boat. we had fun watching brad swing from the rope swing. it was so special to spend time with the big kids before things get to crazy around our house.

the cash was delivered @ 4:54pm

2008-09-13T20:02:00.000-07:00

7lb 14oz! our family is complete. we had a couple scares through the delivery but everything turned out great. karrissa is recovering right now and the baby is sleeping after his first successful breastfeeding. i can’t even begin to express how relieved and thankful we feel to finally have our last child delivered safely and in our arms.

induction day

2008-09-13T10:13:00.001-07:00

today is the big day. brad and i arrived at the hospital at 5:30 am for the big induction. everything seems surreal. i cant believe

we will meet cash today. i cant believe i am going to have another child. as per my mom's request we are going to try and blog throughout the day. i know it is not the same as her being here but i hope she will still feel a part of. i definantly miss her presence. brad is a pretty silent coach reading his book in the corner.

i am so in love with brad b bailey xxoo!!!!!!

so i am hanging on by a thread to my twenties. i am rather proud that i am about to accompish one of my main goals and that was to complete my family before i reached thirty. i started the day with the cutest handmade cards from wyatt and monroe. i spent a wonderful afte rnoonwith my dear friend elizabeth pedicures and a quiet lunch. my day continued to get better with a romantic sushi dinner with my husband. i ended the night with what i had been anticipating all day my chocolate truffle cake from ettores bakery. my sweet husband "surprises" me with one every year. he always pretends like he forgot to get it and this year he strung me along for an hour letting me think i had no cake. luckily i have the best husband in the world and he never fails to take care of me. so needless to say my birthday was FABULOUS!

i have been ditching any and all cameras this entire pregnancy but since this is the last i decided to suck it up and post some nasty prego shots.

how cute is my girl?

2008-08-14T01:43:00.000-07:00

i am so happy that i have my one girl in a house that is quickly filling with males. monroe loves being with me and nothing makes me happier. i love hearing her whisper in my ear, "you are my best friend or i love you so much." she is always so giddy to announce we are doing something with, "just us girls". today we gave eachother pedicures she loves when i paint her nails and she always sits oh so still. i love bathtime when i wash her hair and she lays back in the water and sings, "ah ah ah" like ariel from the little mermaid. yesterday she came and curled up as close as she could to me sucking her thumb and rubbing her button and we both dozed off for an afternoon nap. i charish these sweet days.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

2008-07-09T12:03:00.000-07:00

the kids had a fun filled fourth. we were on the go all day. we started our morning with the ward bike parade. wyatt and monroe made about thirty laps around the parking lot. monroe finally stopped by my side and said, "mom can i stop for a minute my legs are so tired." we then spent the rest of the afternoon swimming at the thomson's with all the cousins. all the kids play so well together. after the swimming we met papa mark for dinner at wyatt's favorite, red robin. we ended the night at the sirmons house for some awesome fireworks. the kids loved the sparklers. brad and chris were like little boys setting off their illegal fireworks. it kept the night interesting.

swimming in the swimming pool

2008-07-13T21:27:00.000-07:00

brad has been swimming with the kids alot lately. wyatt is very comfortable swimming by himself. he loves the pool. nana and papa bought the kids some pool gear. wyatt seems to think his mask and snorkle make him float. he also got a cars kickboard because it matches his super cool cars swimsuit nana bought him last summer.
