My birthday is on the 23rd of January and I have a nephew and niece who share a birthday on the 21st of January. My due date was on the 27<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> of January (Tuesday). My first two boys were both due on a Tuesday and I had them the Friday before, so if the case is the same on this pregnancy I would have delivered on my birthday (sorry Nat, but I did not want to do that). BUT, I also didn't want to add a third birthday in the family on the 21st of January. I kept telling this baby he either had to come on the 22<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">nd</span> or the 24<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span>. So having all these birthdays to celebrate we went to Chuck-E-Cheese for the birthdays on the 21st! We had a ton of fun. I kept track of time and telling myself I needed to make it a few more hours to get past the 21st. Keep in mind I am not in labor whatsoever. Yea I made it! The morning of the 22<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">nd</span> I had to get up early to get some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">jetBlue</span> shifts covered. So I am lying in bed using my phone to get the shifts off and then it happens. My first contraction. I text mom and say today is the day and an hour or so text Whitney. I said I don't know the plan yet but I will call, in the meantime I am keeping track of those dang contractions. So, Whitney as wonderful as she is calls <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">immediately</span>. Is it time??? Whats the plan??? That then wakes up Mike. So Mike showers and I get ready and mom comes down. Then Whitney gets there to get the kids up and ready for school. THANK YOU...THANK YOU! Mike and I are out the door by about 7:30. Taking our time to the hospital we stop for doughnuts and drinks! </span><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">At the hospital.... I check in, kind of embarrassed because I know I go fast, but I just didn't know what my status was, since I hadn't been to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Dr</span> for a week. I get checked and admitted! I have heard stories of ladies getting sent home since they aren't far enough along. I would have hated that. Anyways, knowing I have to get an IV this time and antibiotics I am prepared for a long day sitting around. </span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">To make a long story short, everything went super well! I couldn't have asked for anything to make it better. Time went by fast trying to waste time for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">meds</span> to run the course. My <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Dr</span> just happened to be at the same hospital in the OR and could make it. And finally when my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Dr</span> got there I was ready to go and I kid you not, FIVE minutes after he got to my room the little guy was born.

Jaden was so excited to get all of his gear on and play. The hockey season is pretty much half way over, he is one of the youngest but we thought we would take him to see how he does. He just got right in and started chasing the puck like all the other little kids. We have a movie of it and when I figure out how to put it on here I will. You will love it!

The kids are at such a fun age! We finally have our days figured out between all of our family so it doesn't seem like we are running, running, running! Christmas Eve we spent the evening at Tidwells with all the cousins. There are a lot of little ones running around when we all get together and they have so much fun playing. Grandma got them all matching PJ'S...Spiderman for the boys and Princess for the girls! Christmas morning we got to spend at home and that afternoon went up to the Smiths to play with those cousins. We had a yummy fondue dinner, and of course our fun Lagoon passes from grandma and grandpa. We sure do love that, so we can have a fun filled summer! Thank you all for such a wonderful year!</span></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SXCtEHOhJcI/AAAAAAAAAWE/3slffFmx14U/s1600-h/Morgan+Christmas.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291919848331355586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 112px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SXCtEHOhJcI/AAAAAAAAAWE/3slffFmx14U/s200/Morgan+Christmas.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> Morgan asked Santa for her very own "Apple" computer....She must have been very good!</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SXCtDzrDYJI/AAAAAAAAAV8/lK7-ictGWkU/s1600-h/DSC_1319.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291919843082330258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 133px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SXCtDzrDYJI/AAAAAAAAAV8/lK7-ictGWkU/s200/DSC_1319.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">Morgan and Jaden wanted to get Britton his own scooter so he could play outside with them this year.

All week school has gotten out at 1:30, I live on a fairly busy street with a cemetery a few blocks away. Today is the burial for an officer of North Salt Lake who died while on duty. So right when school is to get out, the procession (I hope that is the right word) is passing my house to honor this officer. WOW! How amazing is it to see hundreds of police cars pass by with their lights on. From all over the state of Utah, these cars passed by to honor this man. Between that and a book I am reading that is about a man who was in the Marines. It reminds me of my gratitude I have for living in this country. Where we have so many freedoms that I know I take for granted each day. I am so THANKFUL for this freedom, so that I can choose each day what I want to do and how to live it. I am grateful for this officer who lost his life to serve our country and allow us to have the FREEDOM that we have.</span> </div>Carrie Tidwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09070337216417119976noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990940411029134930.post-46784831787738135752008-11-13T08:08:00.000-08:002008-11-13T08:14:44.670-08:00November 21...One week from tomorrow!<div align="center">I have some extra Celine Dion tickets that I am going to be selling.

Even though it is over a year old. I love it! I have visited other blogs and a girl I went to school with put the idea in my head. It is the season of Thanksgiving so hopefully before the holiday gets here I can update a few times for what I am thankful for. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">To start off, I am so very thankful for my family. I am so greatful for my husband and children. I have the best husband in the world (I think everyone says that right)! He is the very best DAD any child can have, he loves his children and loves spending time with them. He plays non-stop with them and all the giggles that are created are amazing! Mike makes my job as a mother so much easier. I know he takes a lot of the burden of being a mother off of my shoulders! I am so greatful for him and for the love he has for our family. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">My children... Morgan is the sweetest little girl ever. She is the best big sister and a great helper! She loves to color or assemble some type of artwork. She is always making things for me and others. She is very thoughtful of other people and their needs. Jaden is such a fun loving little boy. He is so caring, he is the first to go without what he wants so others can have. He is very obedient and is so smart. He loves to play and go to school. Britton is starting to show is character. He loves all sports. He knows which sport is being played and will just sit and watch (even if it is golf). He loves to play football around the house and is ALWAYS the first to say THANK YOU! He will say thank you for everything and it is so cute to hear him say it!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">So to start my season of gratitude off, MY FAMILY-is at the top of the list.</span> </div>Carrie Tidwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09070337216417119976noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990940411029134930.post-16801361433554496502008-10-20T20:42:00.000-07:002008-10-20T21:03:32.014-07:00DOUBLE DIGITS...<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;">OMG!!! I am down to less than 100 days of being pregnant. It sure does go by fast, from this point on I think it is going to go even faster. I have Halloween, then Thanksgiving and Christmas and before I know it the end of January will be here! I am assuming this is going to be the last time I am pregnant so I am trying to enjoy it (since I wont experience it again), but I am just so much bigger then in the past and all the aches and pains are coming on so much sooner. The only thing not happening yet is heartburn, I'm sure that is on its way though! Now, I just need to get into baby mode. Am I going to go crazy and pull all my hair out with four? We still haven't a name that we both agree on, and its so much harder to pick out boy names than girl names. I guess I still have 99 days to decide! Wish me luck!</span></div>Carrie Tidwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09070337216417119976noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990940411029134930.post-5994035270479384222008-10-15T18:28:00.000-07:002008-10-15T18:35:29.670-07:00BYU vs. Utah<div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SPaZQgcE-nI/AAAAAAAAATM/AOW9wgphMPg/s1600-h/byu.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257558123866290802" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SPaZQgcE-nI/AAAAAAAAATM/AOW9wgphMPg/s320/byu.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">BUY vs. U of U</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SPaZQ8n79jI/AAAAAAAAATU/SuafXHCZvus/s1600-h/ute+fans.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257558131432224306" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SPaZQ8n79jI/AAAAAAAAATU/SuafXHCZvus/s320/ute+fans.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="center">I don't know how this happened....

It was so fun to look outside and see all the trees covered! The kids loved it, and couldn't wait to run and play it it, so this morning they were out there in their PJ's (</span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Jaden</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> just in his undies).

We have the late church block, so we had a lot of free time this morning to play. After we got everyone dressed and ready for 1:00 church, we were out the door, and as we are leaving the snow begins to fall again. We get to church and have baby blessings, so there we are on the front row! In our ward everyone thinks the start time is 12:45 because if you are there any later then you are on the front row, so we are pretty used to that! About half way through Sacrament, the power goes out. Not just on and off, but totally out. Pitch black in the Chapel....so we finish the meeting. Those left sure did have to talk loud since the microphone no longer worked. After the meeting, Church was dismissed. Not to often do you hear about that. Usually rain or shine, church will go on! </span>Carrie Tidwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09070337216417119976noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990940411029134930.post-58349367247915098332008-10-07T13:33:00.000-07:002008-10-07T13:51:09.656-07:00Another First Day...<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SOvI6EwZWUI/AAAAAAAAAS8/0AzEuyva-a8/s1600-h/Jaden+First+Day.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254514290292513090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SOvI6EwZWUI/AAAAAAAAAS8/0AzEuyva-a8/s320/Jaden+First+Day.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Jaden waited and waited for this day to come. He started Pre-School a few days after Morgan started school and he was so sad that it wasn't his time to start school. The Pre-School waits until after Labor Day, to start. He is such a fun loving boy. He has a few kids in his class from last year, and he just can't wait to jump out of the car to run and play with all the kids. He always wants to be the first one to be dropped off, and the last one to be picked up. He loves to chase the girls at recess and thinks that show and tell is the neatest thing each week! Jaden is so full of energy, he is very obedient and loves to socialize. He is such a smart little boy, I want to get him reading before he starts Kindergarten!</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254516572707130290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_79eti10qt4s/SOvK-7aci7I/AAAAAAAAATE/tvsdO9GBWoQ/s320/Jaden+and+Jakie.JPG" border="0" /></span></div><p align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Jaden and Jacob...one of his favorite friends at school!</span></p>Carrie Tidwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09070337216417119976noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990940411029134930.post-80033288673574299032008-10-06T16:20:00.000-07:002008-10-06T16:23:41.024-07:00He said what????On Saturday night I went to Heartland to do some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">scrapbooking</span> for a little girl time.

A little over a month ago, Morgan</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">got to start the <span style="color:#660000;">First Grade!</span> I can not believe how time flies, it seems </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">she just went to Pre-School. So far, she is totally loving school. She </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">loves recess and lunch time. Morgan is such a sweetheart, the other</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">day when picking her up from school her teacher stopped me (she does the cross walk in front) and wanted to tell me what had happened that day. Here is the story.... Since the beginning of school, her class has been</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">learning that they are a <span style="color:#660000;">"NUT FREE ZONE!"</span> She has a little girl in her class who has extremely bad peanut allergies. Morgan has been loving the fact that I have made her a <span style="color:#660000;">"HOME LUNCH"</span> for the last few weeks. </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">A reward her group had received for getting 10 points was that they got to eat lunch in the classroom with her teacher. They were so excited, but </span><span style="color:#000000;">Morgan realized that she was on the same table as this girl with the nut allergies, and Morgan had brought a <span style="color:#660000;">PB&Honey</span> sandwich from home. Her teacher told me that Morgans eyes filled up with tears and was so worried that she was going to make this little girl sick and have to go to the hospital because she had the PB on her sandwich. Morgan has always been such a loving caring little girl and I can not believe how time flies.

He loves to sit in HIS spot and watch Mikckymouse Clubhouse. When he gets out of bed, he comes with his blanket and pillow (as many as he can find) He still loves his binky, but is an incredible athlete. He loves all sports, and knows the names of each that he watches and plays. Every night he plays a little hockey with his dad around the house, even if the sticks are put away, he will find them. He loved his party and the fact that "diesel" came, (Mariannes dog)! He is so lucky to have such a loving family!
