BLESSING-BIRTHDAY-BAPTISM Our 3B weekend

This was one crazy weekend for our family.  Not to mention Christmas was 4 days later.  It's not very often were we can say we baptized and blessed our girls the same weekend.  It was a very emotional time for us.  We are so grateful for all of our relatives.  They all came and supported us on Saturday and Sunday.  It would not have been the same without their support.  We had a luncheon Sat. after the baptism and also celebrated Tate's 2nd birthday.  I made Macey a video of her life and put it to music and surprised her at the luncheon.  She really loved seeing herself from baby to now.   I love you and I'm so proud of your decision to get baptized.  

BAPTISM

BIRTHDAY

BLESSING

Our family after the blessing

this is just a tiny bit of the family that stayed 

MILEY ASH LUNDELL

I can't believe my baby is already 2 1/2 weeks!! She is such an angel.  We are having so much fun with her.  She was the easiest delivery yet and is very mild tempered.  She sleeps 5 hours at a time.  

Tate did not like the idea of a new 

baby in our home for the first week.  He has started to like Miley and wants to hold her often.

Macey has been such an amazing help.  She loves to hold her and be her little mommy.  Here are just a few pictures my sister took of her.  

I started labor around 7:00 at night after taking castor oil around 4:30.  We called Mason's mom to come over around 10:00.  We left to hospital around 11:30.  I walked around a bit and my contractions hurt so bad I could not walk anymore.  I finally got my epidural around 1:30-2:00 and never felt better.  Dr. Wilson who was not on call that night came in to deliver me.  He was with us the whole time and was so kind to wait for my family to get there.  We ended up having her at 3:00 am.  He was the best!! He delivered my sister's baby and was amazing

She has ARRIVED.......

Safe and Sound....

Baby # 5 arrived this morning @ 3:14 a.m.

weighing in @ 7lbs 3oz.

she still has no name

and is a deep shade of red all over her little body

and of course is as cute as they come!

Carrie did an amazing job  (she is the baby machine) and you would have never known she just gave birth... she looks as beautiful as ever!

Oh and Carrie's blog is being hacked by her sister Tracey!

We welcome BABY LUNDELL to the family 

More details to come......

from Carrie!

My Baby turned 8!!!

I can't believe my little girl is 8.  It is so sad to see her grow up but exciting at the same time.  She had a great week starting off on Monday going to High school Musical with her cousins.  We left there and headed to Amazing Jakes for a great evening with the Brooke's.  Macey has been saving for a Wii or Nintendo Ds for a year and her grandpa decided to take her to get her Ds.  She paid for half of it and it made her feel so proud that she had saved $65.00.  She has also been asking for her ears to be pierced since she turned 7 so off to the mall we headed.  She was not scared one bit.  She sat there and just smiled .  When they were done she said" that did not hurt one bit".  

So today was the big day and we had her cousins all over to play a gift game.  We bought about 30 gifts and they sat in a circle and rolled dice.  If they got doubles they get to pick a gift from the middle and open it.  They had such a blast.  I have grown up with this game with my own family.  We do it every year at Christmas with adults so it was so fun to see the kids really enjoy it.  I hope they carry on the tradition with their families.  

Thanks so much to all Macey's cousins for coming and making her day!!!

We now will be waiting for December to come so she can get Baptized.  We had to change her date because mom will be either in hospital having baby or have just had it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!

Another Great Halloween!!

We had such a great Halloween.  We had the Campbell's and my dad over for a barbeque and homemade rootbeer.  It was really nice to have Tim because Mason and I did not have to even go trick or treating.  I'm still not sure who likes Halloween better Tim or the kids.  He took all the kids out and we stayed home to pass out candy.( Thanks Tim for being so young at heart).  The kids sat around and traded candy at the end of the night, but the best part was when Tim and Audra took all the kids to their house for a sleep over.   This Dumbo costume has so many memories because every one of my kids have been Dumbo and they all have hated it.  Tate lasted just for the picture!!

My kids and cousins

Tate as Dumbo 

Roc Baseball Player

Macey as a Gypsy and she even put it all together without any of my help(I love girls!!)

Jett Karate Kid

Be Careful What you vote for!!!

I found this on a friend's blog and thought it was hilarious!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Roc so proud of his creation

Macey and Sav carving pumpkins at Grandma Dinah's house

The kids really enjoy making these cute faces every year and their mom and dad enjoy it even more because we don't have to carve the pumpkins.

Grandpa Ron bought the kids this fun cookie decorating kit.  We had such a great time.  It is so funny to see how each of my children did a little better the older they are.  Tate is a classic 2 year old.  Let's see how fast he can eat the cookies 

PUZZLES, PUZZLES, AND MORE PUZZLES

Sponge Bob 100 pieces, Scooby Doo 100 pieces, pirate 100 pieces, dinosaur 80 pieces, Thomas the Train 40 pieces

Jett has been obsessed with puzzles as long as I can remember.  We have so many puzzles and he can do them over and over .  It amazes me how good he is at putting a puzzle together.  We have bought him 150 piece puzzles and he can put them together better than his dad.  Roc loves to do them with Jett so Jett chose easier puzzles so his brother could help.  

GOOD SPORT!!!

Jett went to his follow up appt. with the doctor and we found out he needed a cast.  He has been such a good sport.  The hardest part of all this is that most casts can be walked on, but where he fractured it he can't put any pressure on it all.  He will have it for 3 weeks and they will check his ankle.  We are getting him some crutches, but are having a really hard time getting them that small.  It is so sad to see him sit in a chair during recess and watch all the kids run around.  His favorite thing to do at school is play at the playground. He chose a red cast, it looks so cute on him.

Poor Jett

Friday morning Jett woke and jumped up to put his clothes on for school and fell to the floor and said," I can't walk my foot hurts" we tried several times to get him up and it was not happening.  He mentioned he fell off the playground and it twisted Thursday at school.  I love that he ran on it and never told us until Friday morning.

The weekend was so much fun carrying him everywhere we went.  We are so bummed he missed his first baseball game and who knows how many more we will miss.   He needs all the practicing he can get because he is on an 7-8 year old league.  It is pretty serious with 2 practices and 2 games a week. 

BUMMER!!!  This is for you Lace

Another Laguna Beach Trip!!!

Well, anyone who knows Roc can only guess why he is not in this picture (just did not want to be at that moment)

Well, I guess he was in a different mood for this picture

Macey driving the cars

YEAH FINALLY OLD ENOUGH TO RIDE BY HIMSELF

We even did the Merry Go Round as a family for Roc

We decided to take the kids out of school for the week of Labor Day and drive to Laguna beach.  We had such a great time.  It is really hard being back to Arizona.  We were so lucky to see my little sister off to BYU, she drove up Monday morning and really had a hard time when she got to her apartment.  I think reality was setting in when she saw her little apartment.  (I would have a hard time leaving an ocean front home)  She is really liking it now and I know she will have the time of her life.  My camera is broken so I did not get many pictures of our trip, but we went to Disneyland and I borrowed my mothers.  We had such an amazing time.  We left Tate at home with Grandma and we for the first time could all ride all the rides.  Roc rode almost every ride there including "Tower of Terror."  I was so proud of him and he loved all of them.  We had no crowds the longest wait was 20 minutes and that was for Peter Pan which Jett insisted on riding.  

We relaxed quite a bit and enjoyed the Republican Convention every night.  We hit the beach a few times, played Rummikub, which Jett can beat us almost every time, ate good meals, and enjoyed just sleeping in.
