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.

Snake in our closet!!

So the other night I was doing laundry and went in to get some hangers in our closet. My robe was on the floor so I hung it up and as I went to walk out saw this snake in our closet! I think I almost crapped my pants. It started to go behind my shoes so I called Ty to see when he would be home. Ya he was still 20 min away. He told me to stand guard and make sure it didn't get out. I was sitting on my vanity talking to him and the snake popped its head our between my pants! I ran and jumped on my bed saying about every swear word possible like it was really going to get me!lol I really didn't want my kids knowing in case of nightmares. Well needless to say Hannah came in to see what was going on and was like " Oh Mom I'll get it. You dont need to be scared". She insisted Kolton go get there creature house( A Styrofoam cooler) that she puts crickets or the lizard she caught the other day in. To bad she was bummed when my response was uhh NO! Needles to say Ty got home trashed my closet getting it. Right before he started to get it Kolton told him "Dad don't make me sh*t in my pants". Really it looked a lot bigger behind all my shoes. Here is a pic of the little guy.
