Easter

This year for Easter we went out to my bro-inlaw Shawn's parents house in Vaudeville for the weekend. We had such a great time. The kids died eggs, had an Easter egg hunt and got some good Easter baskets from the Easter bunny. Hannah decided she would sell her Easter candy for money. She sold about half and made about $8. That weekend the kids had saved up there money for a trip to Sea World. The day we were supposed to go had such nasty weather that we didn't end up going. The kids were totally bummed. We did go over to Medieval Times. It was a fun show and the kids had a blast! The night before Easter there was an earthquake. It's crazy I had never felt one like that before.

Little Pastry Chefs

My Sister Inlaw had a gift certificate so we took the kids and let them decorate cakes. They had such a good time here!

Halloween

I LOVE Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays because I get to dress the kids up. I am usually very picky on what my kids wear and they in past years had to coordinate. I know so stupid but that just me! This year it was a little different. I had just had Mylee and been in the middle of moving. The kids loved it because the got to pick whatever to wear. We went trunk or treating at my parents church and then headed over to Shawn and Tandi's to go around there
neighborhood. Mylee was just in a cute Halloween outfit, Kolton was a gorilla and Hannah was Little Mermaid.

Mylee Rayne Otteson

Mylee was born Oct 19, 2009. She weighed 8 lbs 4 oz and was 21.5 inches long. I started having contractions Sunday afternoon at home and decided to wait as long as I could before we went to the hospital. I alwys fear if I go to early they will send me home. We called my Mom around 10:30 and had her start driving from Vegas to watch our kids. Around 12:30 we dropped our kids off with my friend Mindie and headed to the hospital. When we got there I was dialated to a 4. Ty told the nurse I go pretty fast can we get the epidural. She was the only one on duty that night. She was a major pain. after she took her sweet time with my paperwork and called in another nurse I was dialated to a 9 and there was no way I was getting an epidural or any sort of medicine. I was not a happy campe and had to apologize to my mom for my language. She also failed to tell me my doc. was out of town until the next day so I was getting whoever was on call! We are soo happy we have Mylee in our family! She is such a joy to have around.

Baby Mylee..(for the time being)

So here is my first official tummy pic. My wonderful sister insisted at the cabin that we take one of our belly's together. I am due Oct 22nd and Natalie is due Jan 24th.This pregnancy has been a little different then my others. Where we live you can't possibly go outside for any amount of time because it is so dang hot and well, there is NOTHING to do. I worked with the other two so I always had something to do. I am excited that she is almost here but a bit nervous being that we will be moving at the same time. Still not sure where or if we will have a job. Ty reminds me everyday not to stress just to know the most important thing is no matter what I have to pack! We have absolutely nothing ready for the baby and the time just keeps creepin by. Sooner then later she will be here and so will the move. I have had a lot of heart burn and seem to be carrying her low. I can't wait to see what she looks like. These last 5 weeks I know will be the longest of the whole pregnancy.

5 years!

5 years ago I married my best friend. I can't believe it has already been 5 years. At times it feels like it went by so fast and other times it feels like it has been an eternity. As I sit back and look at all we have been through and the trials we have faced in these short 5 years I am grateful for each one. I feel like we are closer then we have ever been and I LOVE it! Ty is such a hard worker and great supporter for our little family. I am soo lucky to have a man like him for me and our kids. He is so hands on with our kids and would give them his shirt of his back for anything. They have him wrapped around their little fingers. I can't wait in a few weeks we will bring our third little baby into this journey with us. My mother in-law is coming out to watch the kids so that we can have the weekend to spend together. It feels like we are really getting away on some great vacation but we are only 5 min away from the house across the river! I seriously can't wait to just have him and I time. I love you babe and thanks for all your support and love.
