eating oreo's and building our fort under the table while daddy is gone.hey everyone sorry it has been SO LONG sense i last updated. as you might already know i have been super busy with our new little angel Briggs. he was born only 5 days ago and has changed so much. he just gets cuter and cuter every day. i was really hurting in pain for the last 2 months and so i would do things and get super tired and hurt and not want to do anything. that is my reasoning for not updating. i know simple, get on the computer, but really i was too lazy to even do that. we did have a fabulous Christmas and new years and can't complain about any of it. I did have to go to the hospital Christmas night but it all was good and i was sent home on morphine. yes a fun and spacey evening. ;0) on Christmas eve we did the Hayes family tradition and went to classic skating and roller skated and played on the big blow up toys. that was so much fun for the kids and for us. Santa even stopped by! Payton roller skated for his very first time and did great. and I being just about 9 months prego did the HOKI POKI with the whole family! it was so great and very embarrassing but fun. we also did a Metcalfe family picture of all the grand kids. Crazy, try getting 16 kids to all smile and behave at the same time. hmmm... impossible. but it sure was neat to see all the kids together. (Briggs made 17) 12 of the grand kids are all under the age of 3! and we have at least one more on the way that we know of. wow we have sure grown the family in the last 3 years!
well lets see what have we been doing sense last i wrote. the kids and I try to stay busy each day with Brandon gone we try and find fun things to do to keep us occupied. we have had snow ball fights, built forts under our table,played dress-ups, played make-up and just got the house ready for the new little guy. Lexi did get a few bumps and bruises. but all in all we had fun.
oh ya i also finally quit spankys after 9 years. it's official i am no longer an employee of my favorite and very first job. it is sad, but i made so many wonderful friends there.
i have felt like I've been a bum of a mom cuz of the stinkin' pain i had, so i tried to at least do one thing here and there to entertain the kids. other than that i was a lazy couch mommy. but i do have to tell you i have had so much love and support from my family and ward. wow how everyone pulled through. i can't thank everyone enough. the meals, the phone calls, just the love i have felt from all of you, thanks.
