Year 2007

So now that things have settled down with the hassle and Bessel of the Dec. Holidays I thought to myself , that I did not take the time this year to share anything that happened with us this year. We had many new events and happy times with our growing family. We moved, grew in numbers, Disneyland, Played sports and started dancing. So here we go...

JANUARY:
After a long trip to Utah with our 3 kids Mom was supper tired and not wanting to do anything but get home. The kids had had enough and we not feeling so good and neither was I. I currently had received an IUD shortly after we had Ryya(6 weeks). So we were under the impression that we were in the safe zone, not having to worry about birth control. I have a handful of sister-in-laws that had loved the ones they had and were having no problems with them so we thought that this would be a great was to start out. The day after i got home i was having a few problems to we quickly called my OB doctor to come in and visit with him. We had an ultra sound done only to find out that we were expecting #4. What a shock to both him and I!! This was his first pt. to come back to him pregnant on a IUD. We were beating all records. From there on we had to make some choices and we deiced to remove the IUD until we were told that the strings were barred up inside too deep. So the option was to go up in and have it removed and for sure i would loose the baby or just Wait out and pray for good odds! Well Dustin gave me a comfort blessing and I seemed to be at ease the rest of my pregnancy.
FEBRUARY:
We started out with a bang, mason was in Soccer, and We had a great V-day party with lots of friends and family.

I was just thinking about you the other day! I'm sure you're twice as crazy-busy as I am. We definitely need to get together!
Your kids are getting to big. I still remember when Ryya was small enough to fit in between Mason and Chloe in the stroller!
I just had my new hardware (IUD) installed last week. Wish me luck!
