What a special place. My parents brought me here when I was little and I am so grateful to be able to bring my family here so often. This is what is known as The Sacred Grove, where Joseph Smith prayed about which church to join. This experience and many more in this area, led to us being blessed with the restored church on this earth today. There is so much peace and joy here.<br />

I have an overwhelming task to catch up but I am going to do my best...<br />
Last Summer began almost immediately with a trip across the country from Pennsylvania to Utah. It's quite the journey. The kids did well. They love to travel...the excitement helps them be well behaved. It was an especially long trip because we have to drive two hours to the airport in Pittsburgh. The airline lost one of our car seats which always adds to the excitement.<br />

We made the trek to Logan to see John's grandpa. We couldn't resist. We had to rent a van for the two hour drive and ended up with a 15 passenger van that was mostly empty. He is such an amazing man and we just listened to him tell us story after story. He is a great example to us all and we love him so much. It was fun to see a few of John's sisters who lived there too! We had lunch at the park and let the kids play for a few hours.<br />

We decided to have Hailey's baptism while we were there because we had so many family members visiting all at once for our family reunions. She was so lucky to have so many people who love her there.<br />

John has extremely talented sisters...these were the most delicious cupcakes. Wendy did an amazing job and they were perfect for our celebration after the baptism. Overall, it was a beautiful day filled with memories and love. Now that it has been a year and a half later, I have a different perspective on what Hailey's baptism meant to her. She has taken it very seriously and wants to always make righteous decisions. What an amazing girl she is.<br />

Check out this sight. This is Kevin and Corey, two of my brothers. Twelve of us caught the Norovirus while we were underneath the same roof for our family reunion. It wasn't pretty people. My parents were just finishing the bug when I got there. I caught it, then Isabella and Lucy. Corey and Kevin got sick at the very end of my sickness. That's just kind of how it went...in a rotation. This is the worst bug that I have ever seen. I won't go into details but let's just say that one of my family members had to sleep in the bathtub for a night. AWFUL!!!!<br />

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour <span style="font-size: 8.0pt;">You

1 cup sugar ( I use a sugar substitute, or half and half!)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4 tsp. baking powder</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3/4 tsp. salt</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can add mini chocolate chips for a little fun. Makes 18
muffins. Try it in a bread loaf too! Spray it really good though because of the
lack of fat it may stick! They also stick to the muffin wrappers when hot....if
you let them cool completely then they come out perfect! These truly are
delicious...you'd never know they were so low in fat!! One muffin made with
sugar substitute is 60 calories. Otherwise they are 100 calories.</div>

Because they are low in fat they will stick to the cookie
sheets so you will need to either use parchment paper, baking spray, or a Silpat!

Camping has become one of my most favorite Summer activities to do with our family. I loved camping with my family when I was younger and have the best memories. I hope that our children will be able to have great memories as well. We checked out the weather before leaving and it was supposed to be a little wet the first day but then beautiful the next 2. Sunny and in the 70's. It sounded too good to be true...which we would later find out.</div>

Poor little girl was so tired from packing the car all morning. One bite of her lunch and she crashed. This is the first time that she was in a forward facing car seat and not in her baby carrier car seat. She thought it was so strange. She just kept looking around and up over her head. She likes it a lot. Especially her little treat and drink holders.</div>

The day we arrived it rained really hard. We were trying to set up and had to jump back in our car while the down pour came. After that passed it never really poured...just sprinkled a lot. It was really chilly though. Like 60 degrees. We were kinda prepared...but I wish that I had packed a few more pants and a few less shorts for the kids. And an extra pair of shoes. Their feet got pretty wet. Jandi and I spent a lot of time snuggled up by the fire. We spent about $50 on fire wood just to stay warm. The kids didn't really complain and our hubbies were just fine.</div>

Here it is in all it's glory.We had no neighbors on any side of us. It was so nice!! We couldn't even see any other campers. The rest of the camp was tent to tent packed. I'm guessing that they didn't like being so far from the bathrooms? It was really nice and quiet.</div>

Our tents...aren't they lovely. I want a bigger one. An 8 man tent is too small for our family of 6. We were cozy and warm though. See that lil' ole bathroom in the background? Ya....about that. When we were making our campsite reservations online we were thrilled that we had a bathroom close by. This campground actually has real bathrooms with sinks and real flushing toilets. They even have a few showers for those kind of people that shower when they camp (we aren't those people I guess!) Well, that bathroom in the near distance is not one of those fancy bathrooms. It's disgusting. A hole in the ground with 1,000 flies. So we had to hike to the bathrooms 10 times a day because my girls would not go in the woods. Well, I tried to teach them and it didn't go so well. That was not my favorite part. </div>

Hailey brought the little ones to the camp park. These two came back crying that they didn't feel well. Lincoln started throwing up. A lot. Isabella just kept crying and saying she wanted to go home. It turns out that Hailey was swinging herself and these two in the tire swing and apparently she over did it. I think Lincoln threw up like 6 times.

The last day of school...wow...it seems like so long ago already. Hailey was VERY sad to say goodbye to her teacher. It took her a few days to recover. She was a very special and unique teacher. I told Hailey she most likely will not have another one quite like her. She was very fun and LOVED the kids so much. Hailey went through withdrawals for days.</div>

We made it to the beach...aka Lake Erie. This is a BIG job with 4 kids and no husband. Jandi and I combined so we had 8 kids and no husbands. Atleast there was two of us! We stayed for hours and the kids had a blast.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh how I love this sweet little girl!! I cannot believe that she is ONE. I know, everyone says that. BUT, it is very true. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How has it already been a year since I was pregnant with her and SO very uncomfortable, and since I tried to put myself into labor by jumping on the trampoline?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How has it already been a year since my mom and dad came to help with the transition to four children? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a year of more sleepless nights. And, a year of nursing every 3 hours in any convenient spot available (like the couches for sale in a store). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've gotten SUPER DUPER good at multi-tasking. I've done just about everything while holding Lucy. She has been a needy one...and I've loved most of it! Dinner time always stresses me out a bit. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have such a wonderful girl here that is incredibly talented at photography. She is so patient and has a great eye. I love these pictures. All of them. Every.Single.One.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She's little. In the 10% for her weight and 50% for height. She is still wearing 6-12 months clothes. She weighs 18 pounds. I usually have such big kids...it's kind of strange for me. We love her the way she is though. Our little peanut.</span></div>

I mean like CRAZY GOOD. Dessert too. It was so yummy. My mouth is watering just thinking about all the deliciousness. I went off my calorie counting just for the day (and may or may not have gained 2 pounds). We had our friends over (Jandi and Lee and their great boys!) We did our annual Easter egg bash but I haven't downloaded this pictures yet, so until then....</div><div style="text-align: center;">On a quick end to this ridiculously long picture post...I just want to share my thankfulness of my Savior...who bled and died on the cross. Who felt pain and sadness for me. I am so grateful to be a member of the true church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm so thankful to have the truthfulness of the gospel in my life. The peace and joy that I have is not a coincidence. It is because of the knowledge that we have.

Great things have happened to our family, and our children, and our lives in general. It's a great time and I am extremely happy. John has successfully completed his education and graduated with his doctorate. He did such a great job that the practice asked if he wanted to stay and continue with his post doctorate work here in Erie. We have decided that it was a good fit for him and we are staying for another year and a half. He just completed the EPPP which is like the BAR or BOARDS for other professionals. It's a huge deal and he worked so hard. It's nice to have it in the past. The kids are blossoming and doing so great in their schools. I have amazing friends and we love the ward. Our home is clean and cozy and very comfortable. We feel so content here in Erie and although we wish we were closer to family (I know you have all heard me complain about this over and over) we have been lucky enough to have some friends that are like family to us. I don't feel lonely and I know that we have support! I love my new calling (Compassionate Service) and have found so much joy in serving others. I have lost 48 lbs since October and couldn't feel healthier or stronger. I'm still not getting much sleep...but am expecting that sometime within this year, all of my children will be able to sleep thru the night. Our families are healthy and doing well....we have plane tickets to Utah for three weeks this Summer...I'm training for a race...the list can go on and on. Just typing this and thinking about all of the blessings the Lord has given us, makes me a little nervous to think about what our future holds. I know trials are apart of life, they come and they go. They make us stronger and help us develop into more complete versions of ourselves. I'm grateful for the calm that we have right now. We have a lot of changes that will be happening within two years and it's crazy to think that our life can and probably will get really jumble up. We still have challenges, like being so poor that we are barely scrapping by, and being so busy taking care of children that there is no time to even pause in the day, and having a husband who is working so hard and whom we don't get enough time with, among others. I guess I am also grateful to see past that and to be able to enjoy the things that do make me happy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I'm glad to be 31 and had a great birthday!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5tofvXWlIHcnCzZxjQB0dXuwAZzif1l_ApJM112J4qyeAXDbQ0Ko7cdSu3Owy7nWCKpP154FmSOocgD5aS5TDfV0Y8lcNu__nawlVKJAQC1hXlSJdZQmX8QpeIXMYahmcoQfvTAf5LR33/s1600/P1030850.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5tofvXWlIHcnCzZxjQB0dXuwAZzif1l_ApJM112J4qyeAXDbQ0Ko7cdSu3Owy7nWCKpP154FmSOocgD5aS5TDfV0Y8lcNu__nawlVKJAQC1hXlSJdZQmX8QpeIXMYahmcoQfvTAf5LR33/s400/P1030850.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Jandi planned such a rad party for me. In honor of the decade I was born...the theme was 80's! We had so much fun shopping for our 80's wear!! The funniest part is that we went to a thrift store to find our outfits...but after we went shopping at the mall a few days later, we realized that 80's style is EVERYWHERE....no need to find it in outdated clothes (although I still sported mine!) It's crazy to think that I am old enough to have a style of clothes come back into style.

I would be a mess without friends. So thankful for all of the women in my life!! Cathy and Rachel are pictured here!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijGpdDJ2Yh9wcoOYdgXWCJIHXij5rgttfwONLkv9EsHotbCltUbYpGdDXPHitw6gOP8k2HAInOzegD0x7h9wNhiALKQ9eSkbkgLyxnWe10bQe9aY8Pseg0pv1j-bwODQ7KjakWq6WKkJJi/s1600/P1030764.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijGpdDJ2Yh9wcoOYdgXWCJIHXij5rgttfwONLkv9EsHotbCltUbYpGdDXPHitw6gOP8k2HAInOzegD0x7h9wNhiALKQ9eSkbkgLyxnWe10bQe9aY8Pseg0pv1j-bwODQ7KjakWq6WKkJJi/s400/P1030764.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> The food is always the best part of the party!

</a></div>Our church time changed from 11am to 9am which makes for a long Sunday! Our favorite thing to do is curl up and snuggle and watch a movie to pass the time. Usually the snuggling is with John and I but I was pleasantly surprised when I came down to the basement to find all of my sweet babies laying next to each other, without fighting over covers or pillows.

It was nice to have John home for a few days! New Years Eve was spent sleep training our youngest two (Lucy and Talon) and it was filled with a lot of crying! We went to bed early in anticipation for the long night ahead..which it was! BUT, they are going to sleep all by themselves now and Talon is sleeping in his own bed ALL NIGHT LONG! I occasionally have to walk him to the bathroom and tuck him back in but he is doing great. Lucy is now great at putting herself to sleep at a normal sleeping hour (between 6 and 7) and although she still wakes up quite a bit at night to nurse, she is still doing so much better than she was before when she wanted to be nursing ALL NIGHT and wanted to be snuggled up right next to me. She is in her own crib in Hailey's room. It's nice to have "our" room back! </div>Katrinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07759977707394089882noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478790444436780020.post-51609143752713281432011-12-21T15:37:00.000-05:002011-12-21T15:37:16.055-05:00Back it up!<div style="text-align: center;">I really cannot believe just how bad I have been at blogging this year...and the worst part is that I REALLY have wanted to do better but haven't! Here is a quick recap of a few things that I realized I haven't blogged about!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanksgiving- We got together with the Stowell's, our neighbors and dearest friends! They invited the missionaries over which is always fun! I would say that the best part about Thanksgiving for me is the baking and cooking. Oh..and the planning of the menu and shopping for the food and preparing the table. I don't know why, but I love the hustle and bustle of getting ready for Thanksgiving. The weather was beautiful and it was a great day. We ate dinner at the Stowell's and had dessert at our house. The kids played and Jandi and I went through the paper ads to map out our Black Friday shopping trip. We started shopping this year earlier than ever...I think we got in line at Toys R Us at about 8:30...and it was wrapped all the way around a few buildings by the time we got there. We ended up going to Target also...and we got all of the important things on our list (plus a few extra!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjruDdA6M7D58u2WL5X4iZZY8YjtMfROPbAtwoQpXAb_BRChCMijM0M3R4B4iCXIThA_KhdLR_QLeSoz9mF4r1CI5CM8PQDhtXWgdtSR-okcbrQ0CC8sdZvL8z9M_n48hVQgClKT-JoK4fi/s1600/P1030540.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjruDdA6M7D58u2WL5X4iZZY8YjtMfROPbAtwoQpXAb_BRChCMijM0M3R4B4iCXIThA_KhdLR_QLeSoz9mF4r1CI5CM8PQDhtXWgdtSR-okcbrQ0CC8sdZvL8z9M_n48hVQgClKT-JoK4fi/s320/P1030540.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

We had a great time...attended lots of parties...and had a grand ole' time. The kids got so much candy that we still have a huge bag of it (which just might be thrown away any day now!) Two of my friends organized a fabulous "Girls Night Out Halloween Party!" It was a blast and the costumes were out of this world! Here are Jandi and I...I am Smurfette incase you can't tell....and she is a witch (pregnant with a baby witch of course!)<br />

I have never felt quite like that before and I haven't felt like that since. We were still just getting used to having 4 kids and Lucy cried all of the time. I wasn't getting near enough sleep and the 13 hour drive made all of our kids a little grumpy. It was still a great trip...with lots of memories.

She is a funny little girl. She loves to change her outfit 20 times a day and she hates putting her clothes back in their drawers....the floor is a much easier place to put them. She changes her shoes about 10 times before she huffs and settles on the first pair that she had on originally. She dislike socks...they don't feel comfortable. And underwear...oh they bug her. She usually goes through 3 pairs before she finds the right pair, that feel comfortable with the right pants. She only likes her hair a certain way...and cries and cries if it's sticking out funny. She doesn't care about matching...not one bit. Only comfort. She LOVED this scarf...and she was supposed to be wearing the cutest little jeans but threw a huge fit because they were too tight and she refused to wear them...so with no energy left...I handed her these striped purple leggings that I knew she loved. And her shoes for the picture...can I just say that I lucked out with the ones that she choose. I would have picked different ones but at least they weren't snow boots!! She is a squishy kind of lovin' girl. Sounds weird...let me explain. When she is feeling affectionate (which is almost always) she will squeeze my arm or my cheeks together. She puckers SO big and kisses SO hard. She hugs like she means to hurt you...but she really is just so full of love and doesn't know how to show it without attacking. Whenever she is creeping towards Lucy (Lucy and I both cringe) because it usually results in belly rubs or head taps that are just too hard for a little baby. And then she gets this innocent look in her face...like...oops, didn't mean to make her cry. She is a curious girl and gets excited when she learns something new. She was BEYOND excited today (she kept telling me how proud of herself she was) when she learned to zip up her own jacket. She eats a lot. More than all of the other kids. And she can never wait for the prayer before she starts to devour her food. NEVER. She eats almost anything but her favorites are Macaroni and Cheese, and corn. She asks for a can of corn for lunch sometimes. Cracks us up! She finally learned to take care of herself in the bathroom which makes me so happy! She is a messy girl...always doing something. She really, really, really doesn't like to help clean....but can put her clean laundry away and can gather her belongings from around the house without too much whining. Isabella is a sweet girl and we love her so much!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge5vAPBYGRc2GWUsjIXA-PI-anc1ykfjxLikI-2Ofx4j9O5rrQw5Q0cSWhD5sjLAlf5Z6ErI4DE-r1eEVw-N69fd31do-1O3Zbfpyb1fs779q52a-B6I4fK-ovO_F1rm8jV_s62RIyl3Hv/s1600/2011-11-02+at+15-21-38.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge5vAPBYGRc2GWUsjIXA-PI-anc1ykfjxLikI-2Ofx4j9O5rrQw5Q0cSWhD5sjLAlf5Z6ErI4DE-r1eEVw-N69fd31do-1O3Zbfpyb1fs779q52a-B6I4fK-ovO_F1rm8jV_s62RIyl3Hv/s400/2011-11-02+at+15-21-38.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Lucy at 6 months is a darling little thing. She knows her posse...and if you aren't one of them we'll all hear her crying. She LOVES John...no surprise since all of our babies have. She has started holding her hands up and out when she wants to be picked up or transferred to another person. Lucy hates baths. She really, really hates them. She reminds me of a dog who knows you are about to put them in the tub. She screams the entire time...makes me sad since that is usually a technique for relaxing babies. I have tried ALL kinds of baby food and baby cereals. She doesn't like them. She spits them out at me...not so fun! So most days, she nurses entirely. She still wakes up all night and is in our bed most of the night. She is starting to sit up more and more each day. She hates getting her clothes changed...cries the whole time. Those two shiny teeth are REALLY sharp. Darn those teeth. She bites me everyday. Oh man...when she gets her top ones then I will really be crying. I plan on nursing her for a while so hopefully she'll realize it hurts me and stop!!! She is our littlest baby so far. She is in the 50% for height and 50% for weight but is in the 25% for weight for her height. She only poops once every week and a half (sorry...if that's too much info but I'd like to remember that random fact!) She naps on the go still...and takes about 3 naps a day. She has a small little birth mark on her tushy. This baby is easy to love...she has not been an easy going baby...but is still so easy to love.</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT48kmkStPg0YoQlOr1M670aSUrKAwdPfM6JHVVldwd9FnG8DVMyELFH_QNiNWj7-2uoWN0DSMW4nIEV6gcWlg2iAd0SToEoGAAhkzKWEnCyJ6XEElKd5BtIV721EkKl9QwNnfD1feOV_A/s1600/2011-11-02+at+15-30-51.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT48kmkStPg0YoQlOr1M670aSUrKAwdPfM6JHVVldwd9FnG8DVMyELFH_QNiNWj7-2uoWN0DSMW4nIEV6gcWlg2iAd0SToEoGAAhkzKWEnCyJ6XEElKd5BtIV721EkKl9QwNnfD1feOV_A/s400/2011-11-02+at+15-30-51.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> The best word to describe Talon at 3 is STUBBORN. Seriously....so stubborn. His personality is complex and complicated and he gets bent out of shape really easily. His sisters know that the best way to keep peace in our house is to leave Talon alone. He has his sweet moments...of course...but the stubbornness definitely stands out. Getting him to eat healthy food is so challenging. His favorite food right now is yogurt...of all varieties. Potty training him wasn't near as hard as I thought it was going to be. He loves to join us in our bed in the middle of the night...and if you don't sneakily put him back in his bed without waking him up...he'll be there all night. He is ALL boy with his collection of swords, and superhero capes, and helmets. He is always wearing one of his boy dress-ups. He found a pirate outfit in our dress-up box today and was beyond excited about it. He ran and hid it in his special drawer right away and he had to wear it for Family Night tonight (at Wendy's for a Frosty!) He loves to bug his sisters...and is always trying to sneak his finger in Lucy's mouth....not sure why but it drives me cRaZy! He gives great hugs and I love the way he talks...his voice is so squeaky and unique. He is always talkin' about something. He has been obsessed with John since birth and he still is. Those two are connected beyond explanation. They could live on an island together forever and be as happy as clams. I love it...makes me so happy. Everywhere we go people say that Talon looks just like John...but with blond hair (which I'm sure will darken as he gets older!) His new favorite toys are legos and he is getting pretty good at building things. Talon LOVES candy and treats more than any kid I know. If you want to make him REAL happy...just give him his dad and some treats and he is good to go!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiewWSAYTSDCH-9tvhRy3X7l4SWUzKhcEzOLWnEvQbl4poSfk2zIWF6LhK0T51Zl-z41f4jmuRATjWdgXXTUGMMrOlQeCW4K5sq_djYPnbP80myRT27qIHN-tCTQ1GI3fsGufw5dgW44W_M/s1600/2011-11-02+at+15-14-56.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiewWSAYTSDCH-9tvhRy3X7l4SWUzKhcEzOLWnEvQbl4poSfk2zIWF6LhK0T51Zl-z41f4jmuRATjWdgXXTUGMMrOlQeCW4K5sq_djYPnbP80myRT27qIHN-tCTQ1GI3fsGufw5dgW44W_M/s400/2011-11-02+at+15-14-56.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"> Hailey is so fun!! I love this girl. She is funny and smart. I feel like she could do ANYTHING! She amazes me all the time. She has ideas and thoughts and she is kind. She loves her family so much. She still has a really hard time making decisions. She begs me to pick out her clothes...she asks before she does anything...and is the most obedient child that I have ever met (in fear of doing something wrong!) On Saturday when we were driving to her swimming practice she asked me if I would drink my Slimfast breakfast shake in the car instead of in the building because she was nervous about me getting in trouble. So I did. Silly girl. She wants to know how to do things...and she doesn't care if it is hard to do. She asked me to teach her how to braid hair tonight and she just kept trying over and over until she got it. She loves to cook, she hates to clean (but is actually good at it after she stops complaining). She collects stuff...random stuff. I am constantly making her throw the junk away. I love her smile...even though she will need braces and her teeth don't quite fit...I love it! She currently has her own bedroom, until Lucy actually sleeps in her own bed, and she has really enjoyed that. While John puts Isabella and Talon to bed, we let Hailey stay up a little longer and have some quiet time without all the little's running around.

<div style="text-align: center;">It's so hard to believe that it has really been 4 months since I last posted. I think that is a record long "blogging break" for me. With a new baby in our family my world was rocked and I definitely had to do some readjusting and tweaking to my life. There are 43 photos. It took HOURS for them to all upload onto blogger. Instead of doing a few posts at a time I decided just to bust them all out at once and do a quick blurb for memory sake!</div><br />

She's amazing! She has really been a huge part of my life this last year and I am so grateful for her friendship. Our families went camping together and we had an awesome time. This was my kids first camping trip and for the month before we went they would whine and complain that they didn't want to go because of bugs. BUT they had so much fun and the bugs weren't even a big deal. There were a TON of daddy long legs (which we could have done without) but no mosquitoes at all!! I loved our campsite. It was so quiet and beautiful.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLC4e5utuPiKOLQrpKbuTKffe-nzHiVV1ptoqjaGWr_uEGWpvPbyDEKFQXTeTwb-eM-PZkQ8fpyvrYzABLR_kRBVzQh4OW5xaxXZRbvjDEqQgMDIw1Bkg49qltiBW7yCOHDE8-LYjTJVR/s1600/P1030227.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLC4e5utuPiKOLQrpKbuTKffe-nzHiVV1ptoqjaGWr_uEGWpvPbyDEKFQXTeTwb-eM-PZkQ8fpyvrYzABLR_kRBVzQh4OW5xaxXZRbvjDEqQgMDIw1Bkg49qltiBW7yCOHDE8-LYjTJVR/s320/P1030227.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I forgot a few days. So you know how some people have got it ALL together and they do the 365 picture project? You know...where they take a picture a day for an entire year. I have wanted to try that for awhile but I'm sure I'd fail...so I thought I'd try it for the summer and see how it goes. It's been fun!! Here is June in pictures (I am actually going to do individual posts for some of these "Happenings"...eventually!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I see it every once in a while. Like how all of a sudden Isabella went from my crawling on her knees for months and months before she could actually walk...into a four year old who is ready to conquer the world. Or how Lucy, who just a few weeks ago could fit inside the space of a laid out burp cloth but who is now hanging over the edges. Hailey, who hated school and now it has been one WHOLE year of her loving it. And Talon, just one year ago could hardly say any words because he was tongue tied which delayed him, can now talk about almost anything.<br />
<br />
<br />
Weeks go by where I haven't taken a picture...and every so often I get so mad at myself for not taking more videos of the kids. I know that I will miss these days so badly when they are past. I have been trying to slow down. I have been trying to not be so hurried from one activity to another and to take the time to focus on the most important things. Everyday we have a choice as to what we do...and I have a far way to go to get to what my perfect day would look like...but I am trying. While making dinner 2 weeks ago, I not only thought...but I DID take a picture of each one of my children at the very moment that I thought about doing it. Here is what they were doing:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWwOOiy3oOA4SoyDJjr_vfHrumm-Be_MecGnRsKapyLw1pRsGGHUhHF6aLP9scTZmHH4GxzLk_ithwca2vRslG6cFylO57ExkZ5QaTMqn6iaCV56wBN87L-2ANwpxGBhjugS4K2PCf2hs9/s1600/P1020607.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWwOOiy3oOA4SoyDJjr_vfHrumm-Be_MecGnRsKapyLw1pRsGGHUhHF6aLP9scTZmHH4GxzLk_ithwca2vRslG6cFylO57ExkZ5QaTMqn6iaCV56wBN87L-2ANwpxGBhjugS4K2PCf2hs9/s320/P1020607.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Lucy was sound asleep as she still often is. This is the first time that I used the Boppy for her to rest in. I haven't used it for that same purpose since this picture was taken but she does look cozy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy5F1afyqf63mTSGiW1rhvA5xq4xWiOfC4TE_Zipp_J3zmdTSv4h4iFlGg9OvcM96BAZqK4stsYqWSkyhGD4ZXt-qvMl7JNHeyWr3hEO8WgeycEaI3z1kuvo6cd_iusDLptgoKAw3_cjxx/s1600/P1020608.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy5F1afyqf63mTSGiW1rhvA5xq4xWiOfC4TE_Zipp_J3zmdTSv4h4iFlGg9OvcM96BAZqK4stsYqWSkyhGD4ZXt-qvMl7JNHeyWr3hEO8WgeycEaI3z1kuvo6cd_iusDLptgoKAw3_cjxx/s320/P1020608.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Isabella was watching a cartoon. Around dinner time is when she gets really sleepy. She would take a nap every day if I would let her (but I won't because it results in her staying awake until 11pm!) Many times, while cooking dinner, I will find her asleep on the couch. All moms know that is the WORST time to be napping. Waking her up is not too pretty and then dinner time is never as relaxed so I usually try to have them doing something other than watching TV while I am cooking...but sometimes it's the best place for them to be still and quiet! Just this morning (it's 10:23 am) Isabella told me that shew wanted to take a nap and she is now sound asleep in her bed. She likes her sleep!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoRcwQrpVsPp-cpQp-Mdnz6sGbeBVBIsJBHBMKcGjFoCa0sAT0r0vvS7jFFzhW8AR5WNxEJJeKV0g8A35lSLiaAX8QXc_V6isBASf2RqsUs_90W-c57q29omm57BU7EoGvOE-ETayWy_zG/s1600/P1020609.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoRcwQrpVsPp-cpQp-Mdnz6sGbeBVBIsJBHBMKcGjFoCa0sAT0r0vvS7jFFzhW8AR5WNxEJJeKV0g8A35lSLiaAX8QXc_V6isBASf2RqsUs_90W-c57q29omm57BU7EoGvOE-ETayWy_zG/s320/P1020609.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Hailey was busy doing a project. She made an oreo cookie and a duck swimming in a pond. I have a love/hate relationship with playdough. The kids love it and so it is a good activity to make them happy and it keeps them busy for a bit. It stimulates creativity. BUT it is always a mess and cleanup is never fun. Hailey however is responsible enough to clean up the mess (and not really make too big of one) by herself.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQSRcNeEkF-xAGM4RlMuv63XePK22RMafamPtGhm-0XoxuCvqxpTighdphn2Kc9ArzAs1_4TpY_8xJy9LhvBV8s-3w6cw00nV2WOY5wmfBHdScF8PoqfClX-876uVXUl7Nw-hIk4r3NX1b/s1600/P1020611.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQSRcNeEkF-xAGM4RlMuv63XePK22RMafamPtGhm-0XoxuCvqxpTighdphn2Kc9ArzAs1_4TpY_8xJy9LhvBV8s-3w6cw00nV2WOY5wmfBHdScF8PoqfClX-876uVXUl7Nw-hIk4r3NX1b/s320/P1020611.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Talon is also being phased out of his nap right now. I rarely plan on him taking a nap these days. Maybe twice a week if I know we have a later night then I will have him lay down but for the most part I just keep him busy all day so that putting him to bed at night will not be too challenging (otherwise it takes a long time!) At dinnertime, he too is really tired and if given the chance will close his eyes and be asleep in seconds. SO, he is usually my helper in the kitchen so that his eyes don't have the chance to rest. He is either up on the counter next to me, standing on a stool beside me, or making a mess in the sink! This day he was helping me clean the dishes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am not good at taking the time to write down sweet and funny things the children say, and I am a horrible blogger. I try to figure out how to find the time to do these things because they are very important to me. I haven't figured it out yet but I can tell you that my perfect day would include time for writing down these memories. I love these kids so much. Even when they are driving me crazy, it's amazing how much love you can have for these tiny human beings.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</a></div>This girl is crazy!!! She is always about partying (who isn't) and she is always coming up with things that she wants us to do. One of her favorite things is arts and crafts. She is always asking me to do a "project" with her. When I make a special dessert after dinner or if we plan a spontaneous activity she gets so excited and expresses herself so sweetly with a kiss for me. That's when I know she is over the top happy. Hailey is a great student...she loves school and she loves her teacher. She has gotten WAY too good at playing her (well actually MY) Nintendo DS. I bet she could beat me at almost any of the games. She loves to read and she likes to write in her journal. <br />

She has been such an amazing helper with Lucy! Hailey cannot stand when Lucy is crying...she is trying to do her homework while keeping Lucy happy at the same time. I hope that the love that she has for her sister will last and not turn into the typical sibling love (the kind that she has with Izzie and Talon!) Hailey will hold her for as long as I'll let her and she is a pro! She is going to be a great mom someday!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love this girl so much! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Otherwise I may not have any pictures of my kids! Thank you Britani for helping me with these awesome pictures!!! Lucy was 4 days old when these pictures were taken. She did NOT like to be naked...like all the way naked with her diaper off. She was okay as long as she atleast had her diaper on. Britani took a TON of pictures but Lucy was making it a little difficult to get some of the shots that we wanted. I love how these turned out though.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As a side note...I decided that I was not going to be eating sugar for the whole month of May. I then realized that my parents would still be here until today, and a huge part about having visitors is spoiling them with mounds and mounds of goodies so my plan was to start today. It's almost 4 o'clock and I haven't had a bit of sugar but I am DYING. Yes...if you need a reminder..I am a bit dramatic. But I have a sugar tooth and 20-30 extra lbs. to lose so I am wanting to succeed SO BADLY. But...this is hard. VERY HARD! I also have visitors coming at the end of May so as soon as they are here...I am off the hook again. Please keep your fingers crossed for me. "You can do this Katrina!!!"</div><br />

I was due on April 20th. I tried everything to go into labor on my own the week before this. Jumping on the trampoline, fast walking, pineapple, and more!! As badly as I wanted to go into labor on my own...I also didn't want to be pregnant anymore and we were so excited about meeting our little girl! As far as pregnancies go...the beginning of this pregnancy was the worst out of all of them....but the end was the best! I was still very uncomfortable but nothing seemed quite as bad as in previous pregnancies. I have been going to a chiropractor for 2 months weekly, and it was wonderful!! My back is usually my biggest complaint but I felt great! I also had an inkling that this might be a smaller baby...I just didn't feel like my stomach got quite as big and I had less pain overall. Isabella was 2 and a half pounds bigger at birth and it definitely makes a big difference. The bigger the baby...the more pain...all around! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupcrwn2jpf8k7OutCpId7_MuvSNkshCHT8FBQKHWr42ZZb1toBDzZqNxom0iinpdoZNVZYm086JLxXnDUVTEg5WKPYHJZfQnixiwXGTKljyHeG3TOZMp_coM5gRkPphmv-zqHR7EZWg9H/s1600/P1020362.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupcrwn2jpf8k7OutCpId7_MuvSNkshCHT8FBQKHWr42ZZb1toBDzZqNxom0iinpdoZNVZYm086JLxXnDUVTEg5WKPYHJZfQnixiwXGTKljyHeG3TOZMp_coM5gRkPphmv-zqHR7EZWg9H/s320/P1020362.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> April 18th, 2011 at 5:00 am. We were told to be at the hospital at 6 am. My parents had flown in a week earlier and so they were taking care of the other three for us! It was nice and stress free! Not a great picture...it was obviously too early!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXe5D04oNbJRwcS_Na0uSfxtGCZIYIQG131_INfx019V_Sme4m2to0g1DhlcFmsFB4DaPYyflIJ4S93udRn9d3o0t9RnBUpgYCwx7z-9KtCkkYhsCqRWI25DtO4NyjSvdEZ6GE9ErxllG7/s1600/P1020364.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXe5D04oNbJRwcS_Na0uSfxtGCZIYIQG131_INfx019V_Sme4m2to0g1DhlcFmsFB4DaPYyflIJ4S93udRn9d3o0t9RnBUpgYCwx7z-9KtCkkYhsCqRWI25DtO4NyjSvdEZ6GE9ErxllG7/s320/P1020364.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Still dark outside!! The hospital is brand new!! It opened at the end of January and it was so nice.The labor and delivery room was huge and we had large windows that looked out at Lake Erie. Too bad it was gloomy and rainy all day! We were kind of expecting the pitocin to work pretty fast and we were hoping for a baby in the early afternoon. My doctor came in at 7:15 to get me going (which I thought was pretty early...sometimes they take forever!!) He said he'd come back around lunch to break my water. The morning went slow...with not much change. I had very painful contractions almost right away. I asked for the epidural at 10am...but so did all of the other girls who were being induced that morning. The anesthesiologist ended up having to call for back-up because everyone was wanting it at the same time. I ended up being one of the last to get mine (no big deal...I could handle the contractions but was having to pee every 30 minutes and it was SO painful on top of the contractions!! I wanted the epidural so that I could have a catheter (sorry if too much info!!) John was asked to leave while the epidural was placed ( a first) and I really wanted him there. I had no one to squeeze! It hurt...my mostly just the numbing shots. I had three of those because I could still feel too much! I hate the shots of pain that are felt down the back while it's being placed...just uncomfortable. After about an hour I could still feel too much (like the catheter being placed...ouch!) The anesthesiologist came back to see if he could help. I was so afraid that they were going to have to place it again...but he reassured me that everything had gone in nicely. My blood pressure was low so he didn't want to increase the meds but after realizing just how much I could feel he out something else in my line. Within 30 minutes I could no longer move...not a muscle. I'm not sure which was worse to me...feeling pain...or being completely immobile. I couldn't move a toe!! I also started to feel really weak and nauseous. It took me a few hours to recover! </div><div style="text-align: center;">They gradually upped the pitocin over a few hours until I reached the max which is 20. When my doctor came in to break my water (around noon) he kind of just put a little hole but I didn't lose much fluid which was unusual to me....I usually feel like I am going to float away. The next few hours I still hadn't changed...was dilated to a 3 for hours!!! I did progress to 4 around 5 o'clock and when my doctor checked me then, my water really broke!!! I think that was all that I needed because after that things finally started moving. I don't think that my body even realized that my water had broke! I tried resting all day long but just couldn't relax. Finally at 7 o'clock I started to get sleepy and was closing my eyes when my nurse came in because babies heartbeat had dropped. This has happened with all of my induction babies (Hailey and Isabella) and I was so nervous about it happening again. John and I watched her heartbeat vigilantly all day long, praying for it to stay strong. SO, when she came in because of the drop I of course started to get nervous. She said it was probably a good sign that I was progressing in the labor. I started to feel pressure almost immediately (which was weird because I was still completely numb!) The nurse checked me and said that I was at a 9 and she said I'd be at a 10 in minutes. This whole time I am already feeling the need to push and the nurses are yelling at me to NOT PUSH. They are trying to get my doctor but can't reach him. The babies heart beat was back to normal again...and remained that way! Hallelujah!! Finally my doc comes running in) and he said he was doing a circumcision. I'm just glad he made it. In one push the baby was almost completely out but it took a second tiny push and she was born!! At 7:28 pm she arrived! I just kept saying "she is so small, she is so small!!" She is darker skinned like Hailey was (Izzy and Talon were both very fair skinned).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS5zh479jAqVjett3Z1OwHvSb7lNK1aBlUxsfOXqOjHAct9dUiPvag_awBXmfvyMIbbD3l8H_SEXePeulCgTW-bEdI6ok79LDegEdoTNBL305xoCCPgbgr3fhMYRuea9MGBHNoUvI1U20i/s1600/P1020397.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS5zh479jAqVjett3Z1OwHvSb7lNK1aBlUxsfOXqOjHAct9dUiPvag_awBXmfvyMIbbD3l8H_SEXePeulCgTW-bEdI6ok79LDegEdoTNBL305xoCCPgbgr3fhMYRuea9MGBHNoUvI1U20i/s320/P1020397.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> First picture taken after delivery.

My parents had everything under control which made my recovery in the hospital much easier. John actually works for the hospital and his office is in the building right next to the Women's Hospital and so he was able to go back and forth from seeing patients to visiting me. It all worked out quite nicely!! He usually spends the night with me at the hospital but I really wanted him to go home in case the kids woke up at night (which Talon and Isabella both do quite frequently). I was glad that he was able to get some real rest and get showered and ready each morning. The nurses woke me up all night long and he wouldn't have gotten any sleep! I didn't get good sleep. There are always SO many different people coming into your room. I'm amazed at the variety of people. From pictures to house cleaning and temp and blood pressure checks, and lactation specialist, medical records department. My doctors, babies doctors, etc. They sure do keep you busy!

The weather had been yucky and so we are all a little tired of being stuck inside but it has been so nice to be together! My parents are still here for another week which has been exactly what I needed. Unfortunately, my mom and I have both been fight a cold that has us up all night coughing. We've had headaches and runny noses. My mom lost her voice for about 5 days! My throat also hurt really badly!! Between a newborn baby who is still confused about her schedule and not feeling well, I have not slept very much! My mom tries to get me to nap all day long but I have the hardest time leaving the "party" to rest! I know I'll regret not taking advantage of the sleep later! Lucy has been such a joy to have around. She is so tiny and so sweet. I always laugh when I hear other people talking about how "good" there baby is during the first week because I feel like it's hard to really tell until about 2 weeks when they are not sleeping constantly...BUT...here I go! She is such a good baby!!! She loves her binky! She has the tiniest little squeaky cry that just makes us giggle! She does sleep all day long but when she is awake...she is content. I have to tell my kids that she is off limits sometimes just so that she can learn to sleep without being held. I have planned with each of my children to get them used to taking a bottle occasionally so that I can go to a girls night here or there within the next year. SO far so good!! She gets one bottle of formula a day and has taken it with ease! I'm trying to make my life a little simpler...and this will help a ton with that!! My recovery has been the easiest one yet also...also a big benefit of having a smaller baby! I've been engorged for 5 days now...which seems like a ridiculous amount of time. It's hard to move, sleep, nurse. Hopefully tomorrow will be better! </div><div style="text-align: center;">I go to bed at night feeling so grateful to have this family that I have been blessed with. The overwhelming joy that comes from having children and raising a family is incredible. Thank you so much for all of the love and care that we have been given during this life changing time!! We are so thankful for you and your love and support!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGUWJprAVRmBJvBaB5mJhU17qnZYNyzBh_WcxEIbPxmREDF7LAQUs7U5OU1C6TvpSOgIfoqi8_2TcEqPpzeIS97xpcDwbpPvX834Wfcz6JbsfMrpewUilJ_7cvyFiODafC2GKIxZqveb21/s1600/P1020471.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

I am so grateful for the memories that we have already made and all of the memories to come. We originally planned on living here for just one year (with a chance of staying longer). We have decided to stay for one more year for sure and probably two more.
