Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween from my kids!

Rocky as Ironman and  Brody as Buzz LightYear

Sienna's First Halloween!! Sienna as a butterfly!!

The kids had tons of fun! They also got lots of candy; their bags were filled!!

Sienna's 4th month checkup

She is growing really well! She is developing very well!! She weighs 13 pounds and 8 oz 46% and she is 24.25 inches long 50%. She did really good for Dr. Nye. She got shots but only cried a little bit. Her head is a little bit flat on one side but she young enough that we can correct it. So going to switch her on the sides of her crib and have her get more belly time. I hope it works! I know she doesn't stay on her belly for long because she loves to roll over!! She is growing up to be such a beautiful sweet baby girl. I feel so blessed!

Sienna's first 4th of July!!

Sienna's first holiday! All Festive!!

Happy 4th of July from all my kids! Love them all!!

The first thing we did was go to the Clearfield Parade like we do every year. I don't know but I think the Clearfield parade is startung to suck also. It wasn't even an hour long. I kinda want to try out the Kaysville Parade and I think we are next year. Chris was off on the 4th so we were able to spend all together so it was nice.

Then we went to the Kaysville Park and did the free bounce houses like we do every year. It seems like we do the same things every year but there is nothing wrong with that. Its called tradition and everyone needs traditions. They also had free games there, see you can still have fun with no money you just have to find it.

We then went to Chris' parents for a BBQ and to watch fireworks. We didn't stay for the Clearfield fireworks because Sienna was ready to go home but you got to expect that from a newborn. At least we got to see the ones that Trena bought. I would say it was one successful 4th! The boys had fun and all the kids were good and that is all that natters. It was just nice to spend some family tine together. 

Sienna Jeanne Harmon is here!!

Sienna Jeanne arrived in this world June 13th 2012 at 1:30 pm weighing 7 pounds even and 20 and a half inches long. The thing is she weighed the same as Rocky and only a half an inch difference. Another thing Rocky was born at 1:32am so very similar in everything. I think she looks like all of us. She has Brody's chin, she looks a little bit like Rocky and daddy and has some of me in her. I thought she would have a little bit of mixture of all us and she does. I am just glad that she is finally here!!

I went to what I thought was my last doctor appointment on June 12th having an open mind. I was hoping I would of been a 4 or 5 and be admitted to the hospital right away but that didn't happen. I was dilated to a 3 and 70% thinned out. I am not surprised that I wasn't too far dilated because I wasn't having regular contractions between the appointment before and the last appointment and plus with my history I knew I wasn't going to go on my own. Craig Hurst suggested to call the hospital and see when was the next available time I can be induced because I was about done and wanted to meet my little girl. He popped my water about 7:45am on June 13th it took him a while to pop it so I knew for sure I wasn't going to go on my own and started my pitochin around 8:30 I believe, I don't know the exact time. Everybody wants to know how I went natural so I am going to include it in Sienna's story. When I have a contraction I don't concentrate on the pain I concentrate only on my breathing. I have a focus point whatever that is and concentrate on that and tune everyone out when I have a contraction. The pain doesn't seem to bad when you don't pay attention to the pain and only the breathing. I believe when you are calm and you don't freak out and you relax than you can have quick labor and deliveries. Us women were met to give birth naturally. I see it this way a contraction only lasted for a min and anyone can make it through a minute of pain. When my labor first starts out I don't have very intense contractions but when I get further in my labor I have more intense contractions. I can always tell when I am about to push because I start getting very uncomfortable and start having a lot of pressure. I had them check me every hour. The nurse checked me at 12:30 and I was dilated to 5 or 6 and then Craig Hurst came in and checked me at 1 and I was dilated to a 7. Within 15 mins I felt like I needed to push and I was fully dilated. It took Craig Hurst 5 mins to get there but it seemed forever!! I felt like I needed to push so bad and they were taking forever to get everything set up. Its kinda hard not to push when you have the urge to push that is why I look so emotional in this picture because I needed to push and I knew that I was about to meet my beautiful little girl. It took me about 5 mins to push her out and it was amazing!! I was only in labor for 5 hours.

When I go natural I feel like I am in control and I know what to expect and I like that feeling. When I was in labor with Rocky I got the epidural when I was dilated to a 6. I believe I could of went all the way naturally but when its your first child you don't know what to expect. When I was in labor with him I didn't feel anything and I didn't feel like I was in control and I hated that. When I was getting off the epidural I was shaking so bad. That is why I decided to go natural with my other children because I didn't want to ever feel that way again. Going naturally is not for everyone but I rather go natural than have the epidural any day. Plus when you go natural you have a faster recovery time. Craig Hurst and the nurse was so impressed with me because I did so well. Right after I had Sienna I almost gave a couple of nurses a heart attack because I literally jumped off the bed and was walking around.

I feel so blessed and thankful for all the well wishes from friends and family. I feel so thankful for my little girl. I am so thankful that I had a great labor and delivery and that me and Sienna are both healthy and doing well. I also feel so blessed that so many people love Sienna and our family. I am so proud to be a family of five!!

Almost there!

Today I went to my 36 week appointment and everything looks good. We were really surprised about all the news we got. Sienna is now 6 and a half pounds and the placenta and fluid around her looks good. She was sucking on her hand the whole time. She looks like she is going to be a cutie. There was one point in the ultrasound where her thigh was up in my ribs which I am not surprised in because she is always up there. While the doctor was checking my cervix he was saying that she is really low. I am dilated 1 and a half and 60% effaced. Its crazy!! I shouldn't be surprised because its my third child and she might come quicker than my other two. This is definitely a different pregnancy because she is even going to be bigger than my boys. I am just very anxious, excited, and nervous and everywhere in between to meet my little girl. I don't think its going to really hit me that I am having a girl until she is here!! Can't wait to meet her!! Now I see the doctor every week now.

36 weeks!

Rocky is 7!

The birthday boy!

Rocky turned 7 today!! He is such a wonderful kid. He wants to be a race car driver when he grows up. He is a really friendly guy and is friends with everyone. Every time I go pick him up at school he has tons of kids saying bye to him and giving him hi fives! He is a great big brother even though sometimes he likes to be left alone but who doesn't. He looks and acts like his daddy and becoming more and more like him everyday. He is the peacemaker and hates when kids are mean to each other. He always cracks us up and the things he comes up with are so hilarious!! I am so proud to call him my son!! I couldn't imagine life without him.

Today for his birthday we went and saw the Avengers and went out to dinner. Just some family time. He said that he had a great time. It was also a great movie!

Yesterday we had his birthday party at Mcdonalds because that is where he wanted it at.

It was an Alvin and the Chipmunks theme!

The party went really smoothly, it was short and to the point...lol

All the people that love Rocky came to his party including me, Chris, Brody, Nana, Uncle Justin, Nana and Papa, Jordan and her family, Johanna and her family, Trena and her family, John and Olivia and Taylor and the boys. He invited a couple of friends but they didn't come but that is ok, it had the right amount of people there. Happy Birthday to my big boy we love you!!

Happy Easter!!

This year we only went to one Easter egg hunt. I think last year we went to a few. At first it was hard to find a place that was doing an Easter egg hunt because not a lot of places were doing it this year. We knew for sure that we didn't want to go to the Clearfield one because that one was a joke last year, last year Brody didn't get any eggs and Rocky only got a few because the parents got involved when it was only for the kids. This year we went to a Lutheran Church by my mom's, I think we go to that place every year. They are so friendly and the environment is really calm. The boys had a blast there!

Rocky won an easter basket there!

And they had real life bunnies there! So who cares if they didn't see the other easter bunny

Then after the easter egg hunt at the church we went home and dye some eggs.

Then on Easter Sunday the boys woke up and saw what the Easter bunny left them.

And then they had two easter egg hunts at home. One inside and one outside. I was so glad that it was so nice this year.

Then after that we went to Nana and papa's and had a Easter egg hunt there and had lunch.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!

Remember what Easter is about! Its about spending time with your love ones and praising the lord for all that he does for us. We have a lot to be thankful for this year!!
