And so it goes....: April 2008

Isaacs cousins sang "I am a child of God" It was really neat.

My sister Rachel and her Husband Jeff.

My Sister Rachel and her little family came down for The girls Birthday on Saturday. They live in South Weber so when we go to eachothers houses we spend the day. Saturday was the Party and things were going good. Every body left and we were hanging out watching t.v. When my sister said that she thought that her water broke. We weren't really sure because she is only 22 weeks pregnant. We decided that she should get to a Hospital right away. So they followed Landon the American Fork hospital. When they got their and settled the Doctors and Nurses told Rachel that sure enough it was her water, and she was going to have to deliver the baby, and he wouldn't make it, because he was to small. My sister Angie and I went up to the Hospital that night, and Little Isaac was born at 10:55. We saw him a few minutes after that, and just cried and cried. He was so perfect even though he weighed 1 pound 6 oz. He looked like my sisters son Dallin. His features were perfect.. What a beautiful baby. Rachel and Jeff had a small graveside service this week, and buried him in a cemetary by their house. I have always looked up to Rachel and her strong testimony. I don't know how she could have gotten through this without knowing that she will be able to see him again. What a blessing it is to have the gospel. And all the knowledge that comes alnong with that. We love you Isaac and can't wait for the day when we'll get to know you. xoxoxo

I cannot believe that my Babies are 7 years old. Where has the time gone? We had such a fun day on Saturday. The girls of course wanted a party with their friends. So we had Friends from Herriman, new friends from Saratoga, friends from school, and cousins. The girls had a great time. We painted nails made Lip gloss, Made a mess of cupcakes, and of course opened presents.

Every year around their birthday I take a little stroll down memory lane, and remember what was happening in my life at the time of their birth.

When I was 24 weeks pregnant, I went in for what I thought was a "normal" visit, and was told that I was 60% effaced, and those weird feeling in my stomach were actually contractions. I was sent home on full bedrest and was told that I could not do anything but got to the Bathroom, and take a bath 2 times a week. If you know me you know how hairy my legs get, so that was pure torture in itself. Well I followed the Doctors orders to a T!! But still ended up in the Hospital at 31 weeks in Labor. I was put on Magnesium (the worst stuff in the world) and stabelized for a few days. My Doctor came in on Monday morning and told me that I needed to get to the University of Utah Hospital ASAP. So I took a fun Helicopter ride that costed me $7,ooo.oo. Thank goodness for Insurance. My sweet girls were born on March 29,2001 at 6:35 and 6:38 A.M. What a whirlwind of a day. Rylee the first born weighed in at a good 3 pounds 12 oz, and Baylee weighed in at 4 lbs 6 oz. They were so small. They took them to the NICU, and Landon and I spent the next six weeks visiting them every day.

So now that their 7 years old, and I just count my blessings that they are here and that we get to enjoy raising perfect healthy children.

Some of the fun things that I love about Rylee is that she is so smart. She isn't much of a snuggler, but when she is in the mood, she'll come right over and want hugs and kisses. She is a great artist and loves to make me and Landon pictures. She is a great friend to Baylee, and it's funny to see them be so independent but yet relie on eachother a lot for support.
My Baylee is my Snuggler. From the day we brought her home from the hospital she has always wanted to be near me. Her body will mold to whatever position it needs to be in just so that she can snuggle. She is really imaginative, and so tender hearted. She is always thinking about feelings. Oh yah. She is the best story teller with so much animation. Her school stories are always the best.

Girls I love you, and am so glad that you have eachother to share life expieriences with. xoxoxo
