Funny Stuff
My kids have done and said some pretty funny stuff lately that I've been wanting to share on my blog but finding the time with a new baby is making it a little hard. I have a few minutes so I'll put down as much as I can:
Funny things Jaed has done or said:
When the electricity went out a couple of weeks ago, we all gathered in the front room where there was more light from outside. The kids were running around and playing when Jaed stopped and said, "Watch and learn, sisters!" and then he proceeded to do a sommersault. Indi was the only "sister" that watched and learned though. She did a sommersault right after him!
There is a boy at Jaed's school named Oliver who things Jaed is the coolest guy ever. The only problem is that he hangs all ove Jaed and hugs him to the point that Jaed becomes extremely bugged. Last week, Thayne picked Jaed up from school and learned that Jaed had punched Oliver. Thayne asked Jaed why and all Jaed could say was, "Oliver really bugs me, Dad. He calls me his bestfriend but I don't even like him. He won't leave me alone!". Thayne said that he tried to help Jaed understand that we don't hurt other people even if they bug us but Jaed just responded, "But I HATE Oliver!".
Funny things Josie has done or said:
When the kids came up to see Kaia after she was born, Josie took one look at her and said, "She's brown!" and walked away. Kaia had quite a bit of bruising on her face so she did look a little darker than normal.
Josie has quite the imagination. We were shopping the other day and Josie found a small container that used to have candy in it. That container became her friend. She would put it down right in the middle of the aisle and then go around the corner and start counting. Finally she would say, "Here I come" and she would start looking around like she was searching for something. When she got right next to the container she would stop, look down and say, "I found you!" and pick it up and hug it. She did this several times throughout the store. I finally asked her what she was doing and she said, "Mom, I'm playing hide and seek with my friend!".
Funny things Indi has done or said:
At church, a week ago, I was sitting around several other women that had babies not much older than Kaia. I heard the door open to the room we were in and saw that it was Thayne and Indi. Indi was obviously suppose to come right to me and ask me for a diaper (since I had the diaper bag) but she was amazed to see so many babies. She started with the one closest to her and said, "Is that my baby?" and the mother quietly said "No" and indi moved along to the next baby and asked even louder, "IS THAT MY BABY?". By this time everyone in the room had turned around to watch Indi. Finally, the third mom she asked pointed at me and said, "I think your mom has your baby.". Indi said, "Oh, there's my baby!" and came right over to Kaia and kissed her head. I gave her the diaper and as she was walking out of the room with Thayne she said, "My baby is cute, Dad!". Everyone in the room was laughing.
I was holding Kaia yesterday and she started to fuss so I tried several different things to calm her down but she wasn't going to be happy at that moment. Indi kept telling me that Kaia needed her pacifier but I had already tried that and kaia wasn't interested. Finally, Indi said to me, "I think she wants me, not you!" and she held out her hands.
Kaia was laying on the bed a few days ago and Indi went right over to where she was and leaned down to kiss all over Kaia's face. Well, Kaia got a hold of some of Indi's hair and Indi screeched. It obviously scared Kaia because she started to cry and then Indi started to cry while saying, "Kaia hurt my hair. She hurt my hair!". We tried to explain to Indi that she didn't know she was doing it but Indi just wanted to be held and cuddled like Kaia, so we did.

Proud siblings
Jaed, Josie and Indi are so excited to have a baby sister at home now. They want to hold, kiss, and hug her all the time. Josie's favorite thing to ask is, "Mommy, can I pet Kaia?". And then Indi is saying, "Oh, she's cute" all the time. Here are some pictures of proud siblings!

IT'S A GIRL!!
Well she came with TONS of pain, and very fast....but it was all worth it. I was induced at 8:50 a.m. and she came out at 10:10 a.m.. I even got an epidural but it didn't take complete affect until after I had her. Thayne showed up at about 9:50 a.m., 20 minutes before I had her. He was running our other children to friends house for the day and made it to the hospital just in time. Meanwhile, my mom was at the hospital with me and suffered through hearing and watching me go through every contraction. She was quite a trooper and I appreciated her there. I don't know what I would have done if she hadn't been there as we waited for Thayne.
Name: Kaia (kie-ah) Colleen
Weight and Height: 8 lbs. 14 oz. and 21 inches long
Date and Time: Feb. 9th, 2007 at 10:10 a.m.

First Snow Day!
So our first snow day was in the middle of January but I didn't have the pictures developed so I"m posting them now. Thayne was actually excited to go outside with the kids and make a snowman and fort with them. The kids were in heaven, as well. The snowman didn't quite last a full day but the fort was up for a week or so. Indi thought it was great to pick up some snow and throw it at the snowman and say, "Got you, snowman!".
This is the beginning of the fort. The kids lost interest in making it so Thayne was on his own after this!
The snow wasn't stopping the girls from playing on their outside slide n' climber
It was quite a job to make Indi keep her winter clothes on. She was trying to take everything off several times. I think she might have been a little hot.
Jaed was making snow angels everywhere
Josie was in heaven making snowballs and eating them. Her face was smashed in snow most of the time trying to eat as much as she could.

Getting Ready
It's wierd to think that in three days I will have another baby. I've been trying to get ready: washing and organizing baby stuff, talking to the kids about what's about to happen, and making sure that everyone is taken care of while I'm in the hospital. I told Thayne that it's sad that I'm more excited to be in the hospital where others are going to take care of ME for two days and I don't have to worry about the day to day things of everyone else. This has been a stressful week already and we are still at the beginning of it. Our washer broke down so we had to buy a new one (with money we don't have), we found out that Thayne and I don't have insurance as of Feb. 1st (I have pregnancy insurance for the birth but that's it!), and I'm scared to death that someone is going to get sick and be sick when we bring the baby home. I've been having contractions A LOT lately but I know it's because I"m so stressed out. Everyone tells me (especially Thayne) that I need to calm down and relax but that's not going to happen. Hopefully, I hold out until my mom gets here!
Here are pictures of the kids in their Christmas outfits ready for church:

NOT MY CHILDREN!
A friend of mine posted this picture and I thought I'd share it with the rest of you. I'm trying to decide if I should be thanking my stars that this hasn't happened to any of my children yet, or if I should be thinking that this could be me! I can see Indi doing this to the new baby.

Inappropriate word...
I picked Jaed up from school today and saw that he was in "yellow" for saying an inappropriate word. I was nervous to ask because here's a list of his inappropriate words:
- Buttmunch (thanks, Grandpa)
- Butthead (thanks, Thayne)
- Idiot (thanks, Me while driving)
- Dork (Thanks, Thayne)
- Gay (Thanks, Thayne)
I am sure that I could think of more but we'll stop there. As you can see, Thayne needs to clean up his act (hehehe) ! I think my word is excuseable because I am driving and I know he would pick up more things from my dad (Grandpa) if he was around him more. I knew it had to be one of those and I was praying that it wasn't the word I use. WELL.......his teacher told me that the word he used was "Freakin". HAHAHAHAHHA!!!! Thayne and I both say that......and neither of us discipline Jaed for saying it when we hear it. Jaed told me that when his teacher said, "Oh Jaed, we don't say that word, it is a bad word!", Jaed responded..."Well my mom and dad say it all the time and they let me say it!". OOPS.......! Jaed's teacher told me that he was playing with a toy that kept breaking and said very loud, "This freakin toy keeps breaking!". At least he is using it correctly in the sentence......hahahahha!Thayne and I still haven't decided if we are going to limit the use of the word or not. I think each family has a word that they use which may seem inappropriate to others. When I was growing up, we were allowed to say "Crap" and never were disciplined for it. BUT....many of my friends thought it was a horrible word and couldn't believe my parents let us say it.
Well I went to my Dr.'s appt today ready to cry HUGE tears if I wasn't dialated because my Dr. won't induce me if I'm not ready. I've been walking and praying that my body will behave and do what I WANT for once. To my amazement, the Dr. said he thought I was ready and would induce me next week. I wanted to jump off the table and hug him but restrained myself since I was covered with only a paper blanket :)>. He scheduled the inducement for next Friday (Feb. 9th) at 7:00 a.m.. My mom flies in the night before so everything will be set. I can't tell you how relieved I am. It makes things so much easier when you know the exact date. The Dr. is not thrilled to be doing an inducement on Friday because he usuallly only works half days on Fridays but I begged and pleaded and reminded him that with ALL three of my other children I was induced at 9:30 a.m. and had them ALL between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m.. My main reason for having it done on Friday is so that Thayne doesn't have to miss more than one day of school. I think I bug my Dr. with my pre-made schedule but he is abiding by it with only a little hesitation. He cracks a grin every once in a while when I'm telling him how I want things to go but most of the other times he's all serious.
