Nevermind the fact that it is July, and I am posting about Easter. Yes so upon having 4 children I play catch up more and more on here, I intend to do much better.... someday.. haha!

My nephew Eli

So Easter this year was really fun.  The kids and Aaron actually went to Parawon to visit some friends of ours and did a big easter egg hunt there, hence why there are no pictures of us coloring eggs and so forth.  It was still fun, the Easter bunny came the kids were able to find their baskets even Roni had a good time looking for hers.  Later in the day we took some family pictures and the kids were not very cooperative but oh well such is life.  Even later my family came over and we took a few more photos, that too is a dificult thing to do with so many people.  But it was fun and we had a fun eater egg hunt of our own later on.  All in all it was a good year. Megan brought her boyfriend Jesse with her.

Tyson's baby blessing

Wow what a great day! Ty blessing was really a special day we thank those that came and helped out. It was a really fun day! I can't believe how big he is getting already it seems to go by much to quick. But we are just so happy that he is here and healthy, and that he is such a good baby.

Bronco Family

Since Aaron is from Denver we usually root for the Broncos. Thanks to his sister Lana who sends us Bronco clothing we were able to outfit the whole family and take a few photos.

Cait turns 5

So two days after having Ty, Caitlynn turned 5. I was a little upset because I wasn't really home all days since we were still in the hospital doing billi lights all day with Ty. By the time we got home that night it was 6 pm. I was tired and crabby my meds had been messed up and the pharmacy wouldn't fill them.. Needless to say my dear sister in law filled in and made the cake and stuff, and we still had a small party for her that evening. She still had a wonderful day. We sure do love her. She is still very bossy and even more now that Ty has arrived. She is very helpful most of the time when it comes to her younger siblings, but every once in awhile she just want to push Roni's buttons which in turn pushes mine.. Alas sometimes she thinks she's the mom.. Haha I know what my mom was thinking when I was that age. This fall Cait will start kindergarten and she can't wait for it! We are really happy that she is part of our family :)

Ty's lights

I know I mentioned in my last post about Ty having to do the billi lights. It wasn't fun for him or me. Either way Aaron snapped this pic of Ty doing the lights so we would remember it and I forgot to add it.

Tyson Denver Spencer

I have to say each baby I have had has been a different experience. Even though I have been induced with each one. I went in on the morning of the 27th of Dec. They got me all hooked up and tried to break my water but couldn't. So we waited... about noon the dr came over and broke my water, by 1 pm I had my epidural.. It did make me kinda sick but not as sick as when I had Roni (thank goodness) they low dosed my epidural since it made me so sick last time.. The bad part about that was that by the time I was at an 8 I could feel everything. Tyson was born about 5 pm, and thankfully I had him here in 2 pushes.. which hurt o so very bad it is a blessing I didn't have to push long... Tyson was my BIGGEST baby by far.. Ammon was my second Biggest a 6 lbs 14 oz but Tyson was a whopping 8 lbs 2 oz I could not believe how big he was! Whew! Upon arrival he cried and cried and cried, when they took him to the nurshery he wasn't breathing well so the had to hook him to the machine to help him breathe for awhile. In the meantime I was able to get up and walk and get in a wheel chair to go to mother baby unit. ( Very strange considering that with all my other babies I haven't had feeling in my lower half and usually go down on a gurney and have to be rolled to my bed.) I was told about the breathing machine as we got to my room and we decided to go sit with Ty in the nurshery. That too was a new experience for me. After a couple of hours breathing and being bathed he finlly was ok enough to come be with me in our room. I was exhausted and hungry. But after some pain meds and food and feeding Ty all was well. He did have Jandice and had to do the billi lights, that was a pain but he is finally do really well and at his 2 wk check up weighed in a 8lbs 9 oz.

This has been a big adjustment for our family. But I think over all we are doing really well. It's only gotta get better from here the bigger the kids get. We are really happy to have Ty in our family even though I wasn't planning his arrival quite so soon after having Roni. I guess he had other plans though :)

Christmas 2011

To be honest this year came way to quick. It was a really fun year though. Truth be told I was really hoping that Tyson would come on his own before Christmas. I was a little dissappointed that he didn't. Anyhow, the kids had a great year. They were really excited. Christmas eve Aaron's fam came over and we had dinner and a little devotional, and then the kids exchanged gifts. They loved it!

Christmas morning I thought for sure this year would begin early.. alas it did not. The kids still did not get up till 7:30 am. And when they did they sure were quick to check to see if Santa had come. Truthfully I have more video footage of Christmas morning and stuff then I do pictures. Also, I apologize in advance for the very LARGE pic of myself with my HUGE belly.. but I just couldn't help myself and thought maybe it would be good to remember how big I really was.. Anyhow, Christmas was filled with lots of happiness and love.

Ok here is the rest of 2011!

Our fall harvest 2011

Roni went as a black kitty but she didn't like the ears at all.. So I couldn't snap a decent picture of her in her cute costume..
Cait also went as a black kitty. She loved being the same thing with Roni.

Ammon went as the camo ninja master!

Roni eating some of her pumpkin.

Aaron was able to cut off the pumpkins top!

The Pumpkin carving!

Halloween this year was really fun the kids are starting to get old enough to know what Halloween is all about. It was actually pleasant to take them out since it was warm that night. The next day it was super cold but at least it was nice for Halloween.

Now, as for Thanksgiving.. this yr we spent it at Aaron sister's house in Lehi. I took no pictures :(

Perhaps next yr I will be better about that.. However I did take a photo from our fall harvest from our 2nd year of gardening. I was really please that we did so well this year. Tons of tomatoes, and squash and radishes and so forth!

I am only a few days later a couple of dollars short...

Well you get the picture. I am in the process of updating out blog.. In order to do this I need to edit some photo's and think of some creative words to go with those pictures. Having 4 children though makes this somewhat of a challenge as I am trying to adjust.. sleepless nights and as I am typing my newborn is crying and my one year old screaming and my 6 yr old is trying to entertain the one yr old.. soo I guess that is all the time I get to take on this post. I promise more soon though :)

Fall 2011 Photo time!

I love the fall. I think it is one of my favorite times of the year! The colors are beautiful and weather is usually pretty nice. We get to harvest our garden. And I usually get the itch to de junk the house and get it ready for winter. Which all of the above have been true of this year. It has been a little more hectic now that Ammon started 1rst grade and Cait is doing Preschool( mommy co op) and I have Roni that is now a crawling almost walking monster. Just add being preggers to that.

If you had told me ten yrs ago that this is what my life would be like I would have laughed. In fact in my singles ward I had a home teacher that told me that his wife would stay home and be bare foot and pregnant in the kitchen most of the time.. This use to really irck me. I was like no way I will not be having that, I am going to get married work and maybe have a couple of kids and enjoy life. Oh if he only knew my life now.. haha. I guess reality being that I wouldn't have it any other way. I thought when I quit working a couple of years ago that I would be miserable staying home, that it would be boring. Come to find out it is quite the opposite of that. I love being home with my kids ( after all they are only little for a short time). I do not know how I would work and have three kids ( other than the working from home that I do) I enjoy taking care of my house and cooking dinner each night for my family. Every once in a while I do feel like I have given up alot to be home, but I know that it is only for a short time and eventually my kids will grow up and be gone. For now I guess we will just embrace what comes to us.

Here are some of the fall family pics that we took this year I think thats about all that we are going to get to till after this baby boy comes. Hope you all enjoy.. Happy Halloween next week!
