How NOT to keep the Sabath holy...
WARNING: DO NOT SCROLL DOWN IF YOU IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE GROSS PICTURES
And this is the result of not listening to your mother who told you to go upstairs and change out of your church clothes (which, by the way, now have blood all over them):
So off we rush (and by rush, I mean clean the carpet, get Maya dressed, make a bottle, call Lori to see if #2 and #3 can stay with her, make sure the camera battery is charged, grab Jade's backpack so he can study if there's a long wait, then go) to Instacare to get stitches. Gabe still didn't cry, which gave me conflicting feelings of "what a brave boy!" and "if he's not crying and the bleeding has stopped, do we really need stitches just because we can see a little bit of bone?"It was turning out to be a really nice Sunday Afternoon. We'd made it to church before the end of sacrament meeting, we didn't starve to death before getting home, and everyone was in a pretty good mood. We get home from church and this is how the conversation goes:
Jaden: "Hey, Gabe, let's wrestle!"
Gabe: "Yeah! Wrestle!"
Mom: "It's okay with me if you wrestle, but run upstairs first and put your church clothes on Mommy's bed, okay?"
(to which there is no reply because as I was making my request, Jaden lunged at Gabe, who fell backward and whacked his head on the corner of the t.v. stand.)
Mom: (suffering from back pain and unable to leap to the rescue) "Jade! Grab him! That was a bad one!"
Jaden: "Dad, he's bleeding! Is he's brain falling out?!?!"
Mom: "Is it bad? Put pressure on it!"
(Gabe isn't crying at all, just letting Daddy drag him by the head into the bathroom)
Daddy: "Great! He's definitely going to need at least a couple of stitches! (grumble, grumble)"
Mommy: "Hon, this is awesome! Its our first big boy injury! Don't worry so much about it, we have two boys, so this is kinda supposed to happen, right? Before we go, can you get that blood out of the carpet please? I don't want it to stain."
Daddy: "(sounding a little queesy) I guess if I'm going to be a doctor, I'm going to have to get used to the sight of blood."
Jaden: "Hey, Gabe, let's wrestle!"
Gabe: "Yeah! Wrestle!"
Mom: "It's okay with me if you wrestle, but run upstairs first and put your church clothes on Mommy's bed, okay?"
(to which there is no reply because as I was making my request, Jaden lunged at Gabe, who fell backward and whacked his head on the corner of the t.v. stand.)
Mom: (suffering from back pain and unable to leap to the rescue) "Jade! Grab him! That was a bad one!"
Jaden: "Dad, he's bleeding! Is he's brain falling out?!?!"
Mom: "Is it bad? Put pressure on it!"
(Gabe isn't crying at all, just letting Daddy drag him by the head into the bathroom)
Daddy: "Great! He's definitely going to need at least a couple of stitches! (grumble, grumble)"
Mommy: "Hon, this is awesome! Its our first big boy injury! Don't worry so much about it, we have two boys, so this is kinda supposed to happen, right? Before we go, can you get that blood out of the carpet please? I don't want it to stain."
Daddy: "(sounding a little queesy) I guess if I'm going to be a doctor, I'm going to have to get used to the sight of blood."
And this is the result of not listening to your mother who told you to go upstairs and change out of your church clothes (which, by the way, now have blood all over them):
Jade was kind enough to hold the napkin on Gabe's head so that he didn't bleed all over the waiting room chairs.
So Doctor Sam (I don't know if that's really his name or if he was just teasing the nurse who's name is Sam) Come's in, pulls out the little surgical stapler thingy, and goes to town on Gabe's head. Gabe still didn't cry! He just stood there wincing a little while Dr. Sam clicked away.
Here is one of our favorite nurses, Sam, who happened to be on loan from Dr. Thompson's office. Sam took really great care of Gabers, and I think he was comforted to have someone he knows working on his owie.

Happy Birthday Molly!
Our cute little neighbor girl is celebrating her first birthday TODAY! She is absolutely adorable and we just love her and her awesome family! So, happy birthday Wogger!
Baby Tag!
Thanks Necha! Glad to have you around! Anyone who knows me, knows that I have no problem at all talking about my pregnancies...So of course I took THIS challenge!
1- Where were you when you first found out you were pregnant?
#1- In the bathroom at Terget in Bountiful. I was on my lunch break. Yeah, I'm not the "wait for morning pee" type.
#2- Gorgeous pink trailer in Cane Beds
#3- Bathroom at Bloomington Walmart...again, not a patient woman.
2- Who was with you?
#1- Nobody
#2- Nobody. I thought it was negative and then Jade got home and I checked it one more time before I told him...lo and behold, it was positive.
#3- Some lady wearing sneakers. I didn't tell her though...
3- How did you find out that you were pregnant?
#1- My pants quit fitting and I was STARVING all the time.
#2- My nose got fat...AGAIN
#3- Everyone else was pregnant, so I figured what the heck, I might as well take a test.
4- What was your first reaction to finding out you were pregn ant?
#1- Super excited! Tried for two years to get pregnant.
#2- Excited, but embarrassed, too because I thought they were really close together. I hadn't actually done the math yet:)
#3- Again, excited, but it was bittersweet because I knew this was probably the last one we would have, and I love being pregnant.
5- Your Husbands reacton? Jade was low key, as always, each time I told him. He was always happy, though.
6- Who was the first perso n you told?
#1- One of the ladies with whom I worked at the fabric store. She guessed that there was something going on when I got back to work and could't quit grinning and would burst into random bouts of "the giggles".
#2- Jade
#3- Jade
7- Did you plan to get pregnant? Yes, No, Yes
8- Was everybody happy for you? Yes!
10- Did you go out and celebrate? Nope. Like I said, Jade's pretty low key. Oh, yeah, when I was pregnant with Jaden, my mom took me right out and bought me maternity clothes.
11- Did you want to find out the sex? Yes!! I didn't want to find out with Maya, but Jade doesn't like surprises, so we did anyway.
12- What was the sex? Both girls
13- Did anyone throw you a baby shower? Yeah, I had two with Jaden, and then three with Maya. I'm pretty spoiled!
14- If yes, who?
#1- My mom gave me a SURPRISE shower with Jaden. I had been at Lagoon all day and was exhauseted, puffy, and half dressed. I walked into the living room and there were twenty people waiting for me. How embarrasing! It was a blast, though. Momma Larie also gae me a shower in St. George.
#3- My mom, The Park Mommies, and My young womens (church group) presidency.
15- Did you get any outfits at the baby shower that you just knew you weren't going to put on your baby? Yeah, Jade's little sister, Daina, gave me a little yellow dress for Jaden. I don't know what that was about...
16- How much weight did you gain?
#1- 70 lbs
#2- 65 lbs
#3- 40 lbs... And I kept ten stinkin' lbs from each one!
17- Did you loose all of the weight that you gaine d? Uh, NO
18- Did you get a lot of stretch marks? Yeah, I think there are a lot of them, but I guess I'm not very objective...
19- What did you crave the most?
#1- Macaroni and cheese, YUCK! I've always hated that stuff, so when I was craving it I put off eating it for a few months and then gave it a try...still YUCK! Oh, and that's when I was converted to fry sause. I practically drank it! And raisinettes, and Bic Macs, and chicken nuggets (you see where that 70 lbs came from)
#2- I can't remember...
#3- SPICY! It was the only food that didn't make me sick! The spicier the better!
20- Did you crave anything crazy? Yeah, most of it was crazy at the time I was craving it. I thought I was going to starve to death when I couldn't get a big mac at seven in the morning!
21- Who or what got on your nerves the most? Jade. That poor guy couldn't seem to do anything right, and then I would start balling and tell him how sorry I was. (he was actually awesome...it was all me!!)
22- Were you married at the time? Yep. Happily ever after!
23- Did you have any complications during your pregnancy?
#1- Nope
#2- Not during the pregnancy, but my uterus inverted when I delivered Gabe and I went into shock so fast that they couldn't give me any pain medication ( I didn't have an epidural). I kept kicking poor Dr. Thompson because he wouldn't "just leave me alone and let me rest" (said in a crazy, maniacal voice while being held down by the nurses)
#3- Nope. Business as usuall
24- Where were you when you went into labor? I was always at home (chugging the castor oil and blue cohosh).
25- Did your water break? Nope. And I was so geared up for that part, too! What a disappointment...
26- Who drove you to the hospital? Jade
Where is # 27?
28- Did you go early or late? Early all three times. Only a couple of days, though.
29- Who was in the room with you when you gave birth?

31- Did you have any drugs for the pain? Yes, no, yes.
32- Did you go Natural or have a c-section? Natural
33- What was your first reaction after giving birth?
#1- I was still pretty chill from the narcotic, so I just closed my eyes and chilled some more. I figured someone else could handle it from here, right :)
#2- It was a little crazy....I can't remember much after that whole fiasco!
#3- Is it really a girl?!?! Finally!
34- How big was the baby?
#1- 7 lbs. 11 oz.
#2- 7 lbs. 12 oz.
#3- 8 lbs. 3 oz.

Q-T-EEES!
We recently went to an open house for one of Jade's sisters that got married (in Vegas, the little hussie!). It was the perfect opportunity to take some family picture..... But you know what they say about the best laid plans!! So instead, we got pictures of the Cameron kiddos and the Nielson kiddos, which turned out pretty darn cute, if you ask me. Let me know if you want the name of the photograper because she's really really good! :)
This is my AWESOME father-in-law, John, and Jade's little sister, Daina
Me 'n my homegirl, Lori
Gabe sweeping Kaeli off her feet!

Who Are You?
Okay, so I was looking at all the sweet comments that my dear friends and family have left on our blog, and I found a cute one from someone who must be a long lost friend of mine. But I can't figure out WHO YOU ARE!!! I know my brain isn't running on all cylinders lately, so don't take it personally that I can't quite place you. Plus, when I clicked on your blog title, it's set to private, so I can't get in... Anyway, Damian & #39's mom and/or dad, would you please write me back and tell me who you are? I would love to hear from you!
