One eventful week!

These last few days have been the busiest we have has in a long time. Since last Wednesday we have had one or more things planned a day and have been running all over the place. To start off we are not true halloween fans, we are slowly but surely trying to get into the Halloween Spirit...more the fun and friendly spirit, not the gross and gory spirit. (more for the sake of future children) So Wednesday we decided to paint pumkins, that way it can stay in the house and be a decorative thing. It ended up being really fun.



 Tyler put much thought into his pumpkin.

 The final product

I told Tyler just in case people don't think my pumpkin in very
Halloweeny, I made a ghost on the back of my pumpkin.

Thursday my sister had her baby! It was a huge surprise since she was 28 weeks and 2 days along in her pregnency. She was admitted into the hospital on Monday for Preeclampsia. They gave her some medication to help with that and steroid shots to help James grow a little faster. He was born Thursday morning weighing in at 2 lbs 3 oz, and 14 inches long. He is doing a lot better than doctors thought. He is breathing on his own and today he is starting to digest some milk. He just needs to get bigger and stronger. For right now he will be staying in the NICU until his orignal due date which was mid January. Friday we got to go see my sister and Saturday I went to see her again and got to see, touch, and talk with James. All we can do now is hold James' hand, which my sister calls a James hug. He is super precious.

 The picture is kind of blue because of the lights they had on him for the jaudice. But you can see how small he is with my hand in the picture. From one shoulder to other is a little bit bigger than the width of my hand.

James' diaper is the size of my palm, it's the smallest one the hospital
has and in the picture above you can see how it is still big on him.



Also on Friday, Tyler had a Conference for a class at BYU. Since I don't have school on Fridays now, I took the day off work and went with him so I can see some friends and hang out in Provo while he was at his day long conference. I got to see the fabulous girl that I trained on my mission, Sarah Ray! I haven't seen her since I've been home, which is a year and a half. Then I met up with my best friend Naomi and we shopped our bodies and legs right out. It was super fun to be able to hang out for a good amount of time since all we do now-a-days is just talk on the phone and text since we live an hour and a half away.

Later that night after we saw my sister we went out to eat at Tepanyaki for my birthday since Tyler and I will be out of town this next weekend for my birthday. I love the food there! Once I become filthy rich I will have my own Japanese chef to entertain me each meal.

  1. Your pumpkins look great! Did you end up making the paint or using acrylic? I'm thinking we are going to do this with Ben this week. Also, thanks for coming and visiting me and James...he likes his aunt Lucci.

  2. We used acrylic, I was worried if I made the paint it would stay on the pumpkin. We used the cheap foam brushes which were fabulous too!

  3. I heard about your sisters baby...that is pretty scary actually. I can't imagine. My twin sister had a baby born at 28 weeks, and he went through a lot of ups and downs at first...glad to hear little James is doing so well. We will keep him in our prayers!!!
