Gross things kids say

Marc and I have decided we should start something called "gross things kids say". Our 1st one is brought to you by Kassi.






The other day her nose was running, and it looked like she was about to lick it. I know this is gross enough all by itself. So I told her not to lick it, I was getting a kleenex. Her response was "it's ok mommy it is already in my tummy."

I am sure we will have quite a few of these knowing our kids. We hope this makes someone besides us laugh.

No, I didn't have the first 12 month pegnancy in human history! I am just not a good blogger.


Ok, so we have been really bad about updating our blog for awhile. So there will probably be a lot of posts to get you up to date with our family.

The very first and biggest update was the birth of our 4th child, Megan Whitney. Can you believe we have 4? I was supposed to be induced on August 21st, but Megan had other plans. My mom and my brother Jim were coming down from Idaho and had planned on being here for the birth. My mom was going to watch the other kids while Marc and I went to the hospital.

I was having pretty regular contractions, but they didn't seem to be going anywhere. Marc went to Checker auto parts with Scott. Soon after, the contractions really started to increase, so I called him and told him he should probably come home. While he was on the way home, I was getting my bags ready for the hospital. Luckily, Haylee arrived at the house and volunteered to stay with the kids. My mom and my brother were still just north of Flagstaff, and the baby wasn't going to wait for them to get here.

When we got to the hospital I was already dilated to a 5, but all of the delivery rooms were in use. I was going so fast that they put me in a room that is typically just used for storage and had machines to warm blankets and IV bags. I got an epidural and less than 10 minutes later the baby decided she was not waiting any longer. The on call Dr came, because my Dr didn't have time to get there. I pushed a few times and she was born. Megan Whitney, was born at 7pm. She weighed 7lbs. 4oz. and was 19 inches long. She had brown hair and seemed really tiny.

She was a very quiet baby at first. After about 3 weeks she found her lungs, and a very loud cry. Luckily she doesn't use that very often. She is usually a very happy baby until the big kids start mauling her. She is starting to get brown eyes and has one of the cutest smiles ever.
