Lincoln SMILED!!!

January 22,2009 ... Lincoln smiled at me for the first time!!!! Well, I actually think he smiled before that, but my husband kept saying it was 'gas' (cute uh?)... But, today I know for sure that it's not just him letting himself go...it was me that caused so much happiness in his little life! I started talking to him and he smiled right at me and started making those cute cooing sounds babies start to make. I love it when they hit this point in life, it makes my whole heart swell with joy and happiness. He looks at me with loving eye's and directly at me...smiles!!!! Oh...it's wonderful! On a side note it's taken him till today, the 31st for him to smile at his Dad!!! Mom is special!!!!!!!!!!And another extra side note the dates on the pictures are wrong...my camera is psycho.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day Extravaganza! 1-19-09

Well, for Martin Luther King Jr. day we decided to have a family fun night for family night...Kirt had school off so we played together all morning...but, Kirt said he had to get some school work done later, but he thought we could all go see a movie. So, we thought we'd go see 'Bedtime stories'. So we drive to the South town Cinemas at the local mall and the showing we wanted to see was 3:15 pm well when we got there they were all sold out...they had another showing for 5:15 pm, but Kirt thought that would be to late. So we drove to a cheapo theater (Movies 8) that had older movies (just to take them to see any movie because we told the kids we were going to see one) and they were also sold out for that showing... so we then drove to the new theatre at the University Mall in the next city... and just as we got there the "new" theater wasn't sold out but the entire theater had just experienced a power failure and wouldn't be showing any more movies that day!! Kirt and I looked at each other at that point and figured maybe "Karma" was against us. So...we went back to the original theater that we didn't want to wait for and we got the tickets for the next showing at 5:15 pm we then went back home and grabbed ourselves some dinner before going to the movie. Boy, are our kids spoiled or what!?! And then after all that hassle, after the movie... Logan says "It was o.k., I wish we had done something else". And there you have it! I guess it doesn't really matter if things don't work out quite like you plan...kids will do anything!

"Hopscotch"

Well...I like to mention the cute things Logan says every once and a while...Kirt went to a career fair last week and for some reason they always hand out little toys and Kirt gave Logan an airplane that he got there; and it's one of those cheapy light wood, that's like paper kind. Well, Logan looks at what Kirt gives him and says "Dad, your so wonderful, thank you", then after about 5 minutes of play time Landon gets a hold of it and rips it into two and three and many more pieces. Logan looked at the airplane and says very happily..."Oh, that's o.k. I'll just go and get some 'hopscotch' to fix it!"(meaning scotch tape)...it was cute!!! I was very proud of my Logan, that he didn't get angry at his brother for ruining something that he really liked..I have a good boy!

New Years Eve

These are a few of our New Year's pics... This is Logan and Landon with their cousin Gabe at Grandma Candy's house. They got to stay up pretty late and blow bubbles. Aren't my kids cute!!!!! I can't believe it's another year! Time flies...

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas

We had a great Christmas! This year was my parents Christmas sooo, we spent the majority of the time with my family but we still got to enjoy a little bit of both families. On Christmas Eve we went to the Olive Garden for dinner ( those people must hate us) with our entire family which includes: My sister Kenna her husband Brad and four kids ( Shawn, Steven, Melissa and Derek), my sister Kari and her husband Michael and their three kids ( Jared, Gavin and Scott), My sister Kim and her husband Tyson, my family, Mom and Dad and Gee. It was a crowd! I now remember why I don't bring children to a restaurant. Logan spilled his soda on Gavin, Landon was throwing food and screaming. My husband kept looking at me with "the look" ( it's a certain look he gives me of annoyance)... I don't think we want to go out to a restaurant with them for a very long time. We got to go to my Mom and Dad's house afterwards and did our family tradition ( we have the kids dress up and perform the Nativity), then we had them make cookies for Santa by decorating sugar cookies with lots of frosting, ate homemade donuts and cider ( which we've been doing since I was little) and this time we opened presents from eachother's families. We then went to my mother and father-in-laws and did the Nativity there (this time we all dressed up). We then slept over and Santa found us the following morning. I have to show you the blanket my sister-in-law made me for Lincoln...it's absolutely gorgeous! I love it when she makes me blankets (she's done one for each of our kids)...by the way THANK YOU CAREE! I have to tell you she's super woman she made Logan, Landon, and Lincoln a teepee and me an advent calender as well. She has four kids one that's just 4 months older than Lincoln! I have no idea how she does it. Sorry to go off...I just had to talk about it. Santa brought Logan a kitchen and a 'real' bow and arrow ,Landon got a rocking horse 'plane' and an umbrella and Lincoln got a towel that looks like a monkey. The family got a couple of movies. Then they opened presents from Mom and Dad. I tell you every year I forget how much I spend on my kids...their spoiled rotten.

I'm a MOM 3rd time over !

I just can't believe it. I'm a mom of three!!! We just had our third boy. Lincoln Eyring was born November 15, 2008. He was 7 lbs. 5 oz. and 19 in. long. Dr. William Parker delivered him. I was scheduled for my induction at 9:00 am because they had to run antibiotics through me first before they could break my water. Dr. Parker was going to come in at 12:30pm to break my water but, I picked the wrong day to be induced... the B.Y.U. vs. U of U game was that day and Dr. Parker had to wait till half time in order to induce me ( yeah, that's what he told me! I was in shock too! He also let me know he got caught up in face book). I can understand though because my husband is an avid football fan. I was actually very shocked that he didn't watch a minute of it that day... He informed me that he knew he would be in trouble if he did. Well, it was 3:30pm when He broke my water and at 5:31 pm Lincoln was born. It went pretty fast and pain free... well, for the most part. It did take the anesthesiologist 3 times to put the epidural in...which is never fun...he told me that my anatomy is wrong! Go figure! He said that I'm higher up in the spot to put the needle in than most women and to remember to tell the next guy who gives me one of these, to go in between L2 and L3 and go high! I'm writing this down for future reference because if I can avoid getting poked like a pin cushion, I would prefer it! Lincoln came in 3 pushes which is much better than it was with my first, Logan which I don't even know how many pushes, I just know it took 41 minutes to push, which I'm guessing is a lot more than 3 pushes. Everything went smooth as can be... I had a few guests during the delivery my Mom, Gee ( my grandma), Kari (my sister), Kimberly (my other sister, who incidentally shares the same birth date as my second son Landon), my Mother-in-law, Camille (my sister-in-law), and Kirt of course! It was a party!

Explanation

Well, I thought I'd explain why all of a sudden we have all these posts...I have been writing since I started the blog but, the internet has been down at our house and as it is we only have the free internet from juno so we only have 10 hours a month to use. But, my clever husband has figured out how to restore the free internet back to our computer...so I'm back! I'll try to never get so far behind and I know there will be more updates from the past.
