It is so worth it!

On Thursday, I had the opportunity to go to a parents day at Ammons preschool. My parents came and watched the girls so that I could give all of my attention to Ammon. (Thanks mom and dad!!!!!) We got to help them finish up an art project, see there progress, and my favorite part was to watch them put on a little program.






He has done so well in his class this year. He has made some GREAT friends, he loves his teacher, and he absolutely LOVES learning.

Strictly my opinion

Up until about three years ago, I never had much of an opinion on politics, politicians, or anything that had to do with the two. Andrew, my wonderful husband is very aware when it comes to politics, and knows a lot about everything that entails. Because of this, I have become more involved, and have started forming my own opinions about it. I was able to listen to most of President Barack Obamas first speech from the white house and I was SO impressed with him and the things he said. He has my support 100% and I believe he will bring the change that America needs. For those of you that did not get to see or hear it, here is the speech in full....listen to all or any, it will give you things to think about.

Happy Birthday Abigail!

Our little Abigail celebrated her third birthday yesterday! I am so amazed at how different my son and daughter are.... Abbey had a very specific opinion on things that Ammon never would care about. Like her cake..she wanted cupcakes instead of a cake, and she wanted blue ice cream,(playdough), and she had decided that Ammon could help her open her presents. At the store, we went from lemon, to strawberry and finally decided on Funfetti cupcakes. We couldn't find "blue" ice cream, so she settled on chocolate. She had a great day, and although at times I can't believe she is 3, there are plenty of moments that I think, "is she really only 3?"

She is getting so big!

So Dylan is now 2 1/2 months old, and I really cannot believe it. At her two month check up, her stats were...23 inches long and 10 lbs. 1 oz for her weight. On the day of our visit, Dylan was sick so we went back in a week and a half later for her vaccinations. In those 10 days, she had gained 10 ounces. I could not believe it. She did well with her first set of vaccinations and I am very grateful for the wonderful pediatrician that we have.

Then last Sunday, we did her blessing at church. It was a busy but wonderful day.



This is the closest I have gotten to capturing her beautiful smile

So it seems with Ammon getting older and being more involved, we just keep getting busier and busier! We are all doing so well.....Andrew is into his last semester at Weber State, and is much busier than he thought he would be. Ammon is enjoying school and friends, Abigail is ready to be grown up and feels held back by the fact that she is still in nursery at church and feels a Little left out that she still can't be in preschool. Dylan is growing too fast....but gets more beautiful by the day. The kids and I are ready for it to be spring, or really, just warm enough to be outside.

A couple of weeks ago, we attended a birthday party for Ammons friend Emily. I will allow the pictures to show you how much fun we had. And then, a week ago, we went on a field trip with Ammons school. There was actually a lot for the kids to do at the Aerospace museum. We all learn from Ammons experiences with his class.

Better Late Than Never!!!!

So we finally got everything squared away with our computer and now I can once again enjoy it and the countless things I can do on the internet. So, here is my official post on the happenings of the newest member of our family. So, because of my previous C-Sections. I had no other choice this time around then to have another one. I was scheduled for December 1, 2008 at noon for this to take place. But on the morning of November 22, 2008 I began having contractions on my own. They became more intense and were staying pretty frequent, so after a call to my doctor, found myself being monitored in labor and delivery. After a while they decided that yes I was truly in labor but I had to wait 3 more hours before they would take me into surgery because I had eaten breakfast that morning. So our little Dylan was born at 2:40 in the afternoon and it was exciting as my midwife held her up so that I could be the first to see that it was a girl. She weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces, which makes this the smallest of my children. Everything went well, and the recovery was so much better this time around for me. She is growing fast and we are enjoying every moment.

Dylan Maree Hart

Just an FYI for any blog followers.....We had a seet little baby girl on November 22 at around 2:40 in the afternoon. I was scheduled for my C- Section on December 1 but she decided she just couldn't wait. Mom and baby are doing wonderful, but due to some computer problems pictures are still to come. Oh yeah, we named her Dylan Maree.
