Jacob is 12

What a whirlwind of an emotional day!!
My oldest child turns 12 today!!
I remember the night I went into labor with him. Of course it was the middle of the night and Clay was already asleep. I wake him to time contractions put he kept falling asleep in-between and there fore not timing them correctly so I thought they were just strong Braxton Hicks and decided I would just get in a warm bath. Well my contractions went from 8-10 minutes to 4 minutes very quickly!! I yelled at Clay that it was time and we called doctor. Of course when doctor called back I was on the floor mid contraction and screaming he told Clay he would meet us at the hospital. When we got there I was already 4cm and asked for an epidural right away. Epidural made me so sick! Mom had gotten there from MD just in time to hold my bucket for me. I was so sick!! But my OB just giggled. Every time I would get sick my body would push Jacob out that much more.
When I yelled that I didnt want to do this anymore the doctor grabbed my hand and put it on Jacobs head!! It was one of the craziest most exciting moments of my life!! He was OUT very shortly after that!! Best moment of my life was having that precious little body all ewwwie and goooeie on my bare chest!!
Jacob has become such an AWESOME young man!!
I am so blessed to call him MY SON!!
Thank you GOD

"My Own Sister"

Carly just asked Paityn
"If you could have 4 things in the world what would they be?"

Paityn responded with
"My own room, a TV in my room and my own baby sister."

Yes I can count. Yes that is only 3, I interrupted and asked her how she would do that?
She said she "would have her own".
I said "Well, that would be your daughter then."

She said "NO I mean you have one and just give it to me!"

I love that my older kids love the little ones so much that they "Want their Own"

Thank you God for this life and all my blessings!!

Loving Brother

A moment happened today with my oldest and youngest that I want to remember for FOREVER so I am putting it on the internet (which will be around long past the roaches! HA HA HA HA )

Ok seriously

Jacob this morning asked to hold Lauren. I told him it was her nap time and he said he wanted to put her down for a nap.
I said ok and caught the most precious moment I have ever caught ever!!

It got quiet in the room really quick so I peaked in to see what was going on. He was sitting up on my bed with her in his arms and her special blanket laying over her and her finger was in her mouth. His eyes were closed and he was just smelling the top of her head (just like his momma). She started to squirm and so he started to sing her a lullaby!!! I broke down in tears!! I have never felt so much love in my heart! I swear it felt like my heart was about to explode!!
