She's Here!!!

Angie had her baby Thursday morning around 7:30. That was her fastest labor yet. She has red hair like Sophie, but Adam said by that evening she looked more like Mattie. It is hard to say, they change so much, so fast. She didn't have a name until last night. They finally decided on... Ella Grace Hadley. She is a beautiful baby, and she has the proudest big sisters in the world. Eli wasn't really sure what to think of her.

They are such a cute family. You would never know that Angie had a baby about 3 hours earlier. No fair. I am sure that when Angie gets home, she will post a lot more pictures of her on her blog. Congratulations Angie and Adam. We are so happy that Ella is here safe and sound!!!

Good Luck Angie

My sister Angie is going in tonight to have her baby. I wish her the best of luck. She is not known for quick labors. I am really rooting for her to have her before midnight, since today is her birthday. Happy Birthday Angie!!!!
I remember being in labor on my birthday. Probably the best birthday present ever. But chances are that she will probably have her tomorrow on my Grandpa Armstrong's birthday. Either way, that is pretty cool I think.
Good Luck Angie and Adam. We wish you a fast, painfree, (Haha) delivery of, what is her name? Cybil, Joey, Ella, Chloe, Ruby,...................?????????

Who Rocks The House. . .

Who rocks the house? The mighty Eagles rock the house, and when the Eagles rock the house they rock it all the way down!!!

Hayley had another cheer camp at the high school yesterday, then they cheered at halftime during the basketball game. She was so excited this year. She thought that it was so cool that she got to be lifted up at the end. If you could see her face a little closer, she kind of has a panicked look. She did a really good job, and now she wants to be a cheerleader when she grows up.

It's Official

So, I can proudly say that I am not just a High School Graduate anymore. I have officially finished and passed the CNA course. Yes, it was only 4 months long, but I have discovered that to do anything, big or small with kids around is a little more difficult. I am so grateful to Spence for giving me the little push to go to school. I really did enjoy it, and I am looking forward to start again this next summer.

So, if anyone needs a blood pressure taken, sheets changed, or any other of the dirty work items that nurses don't want to do, let me know. :)

The Splurge

We are planning this trip to Disneyland, and of course we have to drive. I can't afford to fly all of us to California. We knew that our old car just might not make it down and back. I have loved my van, but it was time to get something a little newer. It is always so scary to make a new purchase like this. I had my heart set (I thought) on a Suburban, or something of the sort. We went to Logan to car shop. I have been to every lot in Pocatello a thousand times. We told the salesman what we wanted, and he said that he thought that we would be happier with this, since we won't be towing anything. And the gas mileage will be way better. Well, we drove it and I fell in love. It is a Honda Odyssey. The kids are mad because it doesn't have a TV. Boo hoo, we never had TV's growing up. Although it would be nice while driving to California.
I hope that it runs good for us for a really long time.

IT STARTS...HOORAY!!!

I said a while back that Chandler was ready to go on the potty. Well, between my class and Christmas, I was never home in enough consecutive days to really work on it. Well last week, we decided that it was time. He is doing so good. Of course you have your few accidents, but he has done very well. I can't believe that I am almost done with diapers. I have changing diapers for almost 8 years straight. That is a lot of diapers. What a relief, not just to me, but to my check book too.

Disneyland

As you can see we are getting ready to go to Disneyland. We have benn planning this trip for many years. We have always said that in the spring of 2010 we were going. I never thought that it would get here. The kids are so excited.
We have Christmas done, so now they have this to look forward to. My mom and dad are going with us, and maybe Abbey and Justin. Anybody else who wants to go, get your bags packed a let's go!!!
