Damage....

So here are some pictures of what my boys have been up to

in the last few days. Makes me want to kill them SERIOUSLY...

Is spring break over yet?

Note: I obviously do not have a perfect life or perfect kids

Savannah May

Savannah was born on March 16th 2005 in Charleston, South Carolina. I was scheduled for a

c-section on the 17th. On the 16th the day before I took Griffin to a mommy & me

class while my sister who was in town to help took Trevor to preschool. After lunch we went shopping and I started having contractions. I didn't say anything to anyone. We all went home

and everyone went down for a nap...well everyone except me. I was having far to many contractions to sleep.... still did not let on to anyone how I was feeling. At dinner the contractions got to be quite painful, I remember standing just outside of the dining room when I got a major contraction, there was no hiding it anymore. I still had stuff to do, I wanted to go to Sam's Club and most important I really wanted her to be born on St. Patrick's NOT the day before. Patrick & Kim said I needed to call the Doctor and sure enough they wanted me to come to the hospital to get checked out. The contractions were coming fast and were pretty intense by this time. They checked me and said I was 4 centimeteres dilated... I need to have the c-section that night, she was on her way. So at 7:52 pm on the 16th I had my smallest baby of all. Savannah weighed

in at 7 lbs. 4 ozs. and was 19 1/2 inches long. tiny compared to the boys. I was anxious to hold her and kept sending Patrick to see what was taking so long. After 4 LONG hours and me being very cranky they finally brought her to me. It was by far the easiest c-section. I wanted to go

home the next day, but they made me stay 48 hours. I felt great. She was a dream baby, slept in her crib from day one. I was thrilled to finally have a little girl.

Zoo

So today I took the kids to the zoo. It was fun. Their favorite

part was feeding the fish & ducks, and going to the park across

the street from the zoo. My favorite part was the Sea Lions &

the Polar Bears. We all enjoyed a stop at The Candy Lady in old

town for some treats.

Mini Vacation

We decided to take a much needed mini family vacation. We drove down to Roswell, Nm home to all things alien & UFO. We did a tour of the UFO museum which was intresting. We had dinner at a great steakhouse called the Cattle Baron. After diner we headed to a town called Artisa to stay for the night. The kids were thrilled to go swimming in the hotel pool. We all had a lot of fun swimming.
In the morining after a good breakfast we looked at some stuff in the quanit town of Artisa before heading down to Carlsbad. At Carlsbad Caverns we decided to do the natural enterance to the cave, it is a longer hike, but well worth the effort. The kids did great. Even Savannh did great walked the whole way. We all enjoyed being down in the cave it was neat for the kids who have never been in a cave quite so big. After our cave tour was done we enjoyed some lunch, and the kids all picked out some cool hard hats with lights. We then headed back to Roswell to eat at a bbq place we had seen the day before. it did not disappoint The Snazzy Pig was delicous. With full bellies we drove home. It was a great mini vacation that we all enjoyed very much.
