<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love the moments when I am feeding LeeAnna and she stops
in the middle of drinking and looks at me with those amazing blue eyes and just
gives me the biggest smile ever and then continues eating. I look at her and
feel so loved by her and amazed that I get to be her mother. She is growing up
so fast and I am sad and happy at the same time. It fun to watch her learn new
skills and master them. I love it when she will just cuddle with me. I love it
when she is with someone else and she hears my voice she will look around for
me and when she sees me she will smile and get so excited. I love that every
time I walk by her and I don’t look at her or pick her up she gets all sad (its
so adorable) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My most memorable moment with Oren is when he tells me he
loves me. He is so sincere and serious when he tells me he loves me or when he
tells me that I look beautiful, or even when he gives me kisses ( you can tell
he watches what Travis does because when kisses me he hold my face and just has
this look its adorable.) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My heart just
melts and I just pray and hope that he will stay like this forever. I am so
proud of him for trying everyday even though it can be a struggle he wins my
heart in the end. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Donaven moments just amaze me and the man that he is
becoming. I am able to talk to him about anything and everything. The one thing
that I love is the way that he wants to learn and tell me about the scriptures
and what he has learned. I love when he tells me that he will always love me no
matter what.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love the way that he helps
his younger siblings and the way that he gets excited about LeeAnna little improvements
with me. I love that he will bet up anyone that hurts me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have always heard that year 7 in your marriage is tough
and I was so scared. Well I must say this year hasn’t been that hard yes we
have had disagreements and hard times but nothing that we couldn’t handle
TOGETHER. I love that he will still take moments to show me that he loves me no
matter where we are or who we are with. I love that he came still give me butterflies when he walks into the room and makes me feel like I am the most prettiest girl in the world. I love that he loves to do thing with
me even though I know sometimes he would rather be doing something else. I love
his love of our children and that he would do anything for them and play any
game no matter how many time we have already played it (apple to apples </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">) I love his determination.
He works so hard with finishing school and working 45 plus hours at work and
then comes home to deal with everything else. I love him so much and so lucky
that he is my partner in crime. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have tried about 3 times before this to potty train Oren
but he just had no desire. We even bribed him with a trip to Disneyland because
he wants to go so bad but that didn’t work either. He would just look at us and
say no I want a diaper I still a baby. We told him we could go buy a new toy
have candy but nothing worked until now. So about 2 weeks ago I was just so
tired of changing his butt and new we need to potty train him plus then I could
save some money and only have one in diapers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have talked about it and even bought
special underwear for him to wear. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I
was like ok hold strong and push through it we can do it. I knew this was going
to be a different experience from when I did Donaven so I braced myself. I
looked up different ways to help encourage him and help the process go smooth.
I put him right into to underwear did not want to do the whole pull up thing
(in my opinion they don’t work it’s just a bigger diaper that holds less). Oren
is my different child. I love him to death but he has his own beat and you just
have to figure out what that is lol. So for him I need to take him to the potty
every 13 minutes for the first 6 hours of potty training then he finally got
it. If I was a minute over he would go in his pants but finish on the potty. I
even had a timer going so he knew when it beeped it was time to go and try and
he went willingly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I went back and forth trying to decide on how to teach him
with Donaven I taught him to sit backwards and it’s amazing I never have to
clean up anything. He eventually learned to go the correct way but on his own
time and when he was ready. So I decided to do it again since it was such a
success last time. The only down fall of this method is that you have to take
off your pants and underwear instead of just pulling them half way day. But hey
whatever works right. To say the least we went without pants for a few days
until he mastered it. We are still working on putting everything on the correct
way because he loves to put his underwear on backwards and laughs because he
gives himself a wedgie. I just laugh and say whatever you want kid. I am just
proud that you put them on yourself and went potty by yourself. Everything
takes time to learn and understand. We have even mastered going poop in the
potty. By day 3 we were accident free and have been since then (knock on wood).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am just so proud of him and what he has accomplished. I
can’t believe that my little ODB is growing up and will be 3 next month. (which
was my goal I wanted him potty trained before he turned 3 made it </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> ) I am truly the
luckiest mom in the world to have wonderful children in my life and to be their
mother. They each bring a unique quality to our family to complete it and make
it wonderful and worth all the hard times.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So that past month has been crazy. First off some exciting
news Travis got a promotion he is now the Garden Manager at the Garden City
store. Which is super exciting and he has always wanted this position. So we
are excited for him and I know he will be great at it. Also hopefully this is
his last semester for school (crossing our fingers) we are just waiting to hear
to see if he qualifies to graduate in December. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The start of our crazy life we blessed LeeAnna then we went on vacation for two weeks,
then came home the week of my sister wedding and then moved my parents into
their new house and Travis and Donaven started school. So as you can see life
has not been able to be normal and cannot wait for us to get back into some
kind of routine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Where do I start… (beware many photos so I did a few from each day into a collage so you could see what we were up to.)</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We blessed LeeAnna on the 3rd of August and it was beautiful and so grateful that Travis honors his priesthood so that he was able to give her an amazing blessing that will help her in the coming years. So glad that our family was able to share that special day with us. Something that I thought made the day special was that my mother in law made her dress by hand for me and was able to include part of my mom wedding dress as the beautiful headband. She did a fantastic job and couldn't ask for a more perfect dress. I was so excited when I found out that I was having a girl because I knew that I wanted her to make it. I know she spent many hours on it and I am very grateful that she took the time to make her grand-daughter a beautiful blessing dress that she will have forever. A side night on the headband. So when my older sister got married she choose to use my mom dress and did a few alterations and well my mom wanted my sister and I to have some of it as well. So I have kept it and always wanted it some how incorporated into the blessing dress.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_XcGkV4Te7CYItxaChwKTQVoNgGDCON9N4vhicYqiyW0z0VFZoodKcNR0KHgwufkI39XatKG0Ki0D-KnQmy1kd-mj1Bx1tqMakmz0Dy5tvZJHSPWUF3KxBe2dZ_OTdFKYCZj3loIBEAU/s1600/mlblessing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_XcGkV4Te7CYItxaChwKTQVoNgGDCON9N4vhicYqiyW0z0VFZoodKcNR0KHgwufkI39XatKG0Ki0D-KnQmy1kd-mj1Bx1tqMakmz0Dy5tvZJHSPWUF3KxBe2dZ_OTdFKYCZj3loIBEAU/s1600/mlblessing.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So we left on our wonderful two week
vacation and stopped in Pocatello for a day and chilled with family. Then we
headed to Salt Lake for a day to play around and have fun. We got to hang out
with our sister Heather and went to the Zoo and went to dinner. We also went to
the Discovery planet by the Temple and then to build a bear and the boys got to
make their own bears and they were so excited and adorable through the whole
process. After that we headed to St. George to be with more family. We stayed
with Grandma Arnold and that was so much fun. I love that my kids have a
relationship with both of their Grandma Great (or as Oren calls her Grandma
Grape </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> )
They got to play and color/draw with Grandma Great which was an adventure all
by itself lol. They would color a pictures for someone and the wrap it up in
anything they can find. I am pretty sure Grandma Great got 50 pictures while we
were there. We are grateful that she let us stay with her and create and better
relationship with one another. She also got Travis to watch a movie with us
which doesn’t happen all the time but the movie she picked was priceless and we
will never let her forget lol. (the King Speech and she says she doesn’t
remember all the swear words so we just tease her now)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We took the boys to a dinosaur exhibit that wasn’t all that
great but at least we tried. Of course we had to go the splash pad and have fun
running in the water. We also found a new kids museum that was so much fun.
Each room had a different theme and it was two stories. For example on room had
a plane that you could pretend fly and a car that you could fix with all the
different tools that mechanics use. We can’t wait to go back again so much fun.
The one thing that is a must whenever we go to St. George is getting our Torta
(It was divine) Then we were lucky and my Uncle Vern had us over for dinner which
was amazing and the boys got to play with their 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> cousins. They
had so much fun they kept asking when we were going to back and play again.
Then my cousin Kason had us over for lunch because he always says he will cook for me
but never does well he finally did this time. He made us chicken and dutch oven
potatoes really good. Then we had to say good bye and head back to Idaho to go
to the Baker reunion. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then we got back to Idaho and helped gather things and load
the cars up so we could leave for Island Park and start our week vacation
together in log cabin together </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
There were about 20 of us under one roof and not going to lie I was a little
scared and how things were going to turn out but it was a lot of fun and
enjoyed every moment of it. They rented a large cabin that could hold all of us
and it was beautiful. The first day we just chilled and got settled into our
room and played around. We got to have our first camp fire and the only camp
fire because it rained the rest of the time we were there. Each family was in
charge of a meal and everyone did a fantastic job. We did Dutch oven Mt. Dew
chicken and potatoes and I must say it was amazing and for dessert we did
raspberry and cherry chocolate cobbler.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Our cabin that we stayed at was AMAZING!!! I hope I get to go again because it was so much fun. </span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The second day we headed to Yellowstone which was so much
fun. We got to see a lot of different glaciers and different kinds of animals.
I really really wanted to be able to see a wild bear and we were driving along
and we see all these cars stopped so we stopped to see what it was and it was 3
bears on<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a hill side and one of the was
eating a bison. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was amazing. Then we got to go see Old Faithful and that was cool. It was a long and busy day of driving and walking. Loved every minute of it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The third day we were able to go on a Horseback riding and I
have not been on a horse since I was a little girl. It was so much fun and our
guide was so nice and funny. Oren was so excited to ride a horse. I was very proud of both of them because neither of them were scared. Oren started making sounds to get the horse to go like every second and sometimes the horse would listen and start to pick up speed a little.So I got to be with Oren for half of our ride
because he fell asleep on a riding horse (who does that). So I had
Travis switch me because he was starting to get heavy so then I got to enjoy
the rest of my ride with Donaven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was
so cute and loved every moment of it. We left LeeAnna with Grandma since she
is small and Grandma didn’t want to ride. Donaven was sad to leave his horse
named Doc with his daddy but then he grew to love my horse which was named Bronco. When we
were about done he told me he liked Bronco over Doc (yes I win lol) the only
thing that was a little disappointing is that we couldn’t run our horse we
could only walk. We were like 2 minutes away from the barn and it started to
rain we had really good timing. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Day four was just played games and hung out and we got to go
fishing for the first time and ride on some boats. I was so excited because I
have been wanting to learn to fish because I think it would be fun. I don’t
like anything about fish at all but I was surprised that it was very relaxing
and enjoyable. I even baited my own hook. I was able to take the boys out on a
paddle boat and we got to go all over the little lake they had. Then my sister
Kim wanted to take the boys out but Donaven wouldn’t go back out so she just
took Oren out and got stuck lol.. It was so funny and she kept yelling out me
to help her and I was just laughed and said you can get out of it. Took her a
while but she did. The big kicker of it all was while the rest of us were
horsing around thinking we know how to fish Travis starts yelling he caught
one. It was huge I thought if anyone caught one it would have been his dad and
it would be a tiny little fish but no it was my hubby and it was a big fish.
Then came the problem of releasing the fish well he couldn’t he tried with all
of might but he couldn’t get the hook out so guess what we got to take home a
fish (yuck). He even had to gut it and cut off the head so gross. I am so proud
of him. So then once again Mr ODB feel asleep but this time we were out in the boat with Kim and I and guess
who falls asleep again in the middle of the lake that is right Oren. Then the
rest of the day we just chilled and played games (which was one of my favorite
things I love the game of five crowns just wished I had someone to play it with
locally) The boys also loved to go catch frogs which they did every day we were there. They really wanted to take some home with us but I told them no and broke their little hearts. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Finally we had to start packing up and head back to the real
world. We came back the week of my baby sister wedding. I am so excited for
her. I can’t believe the day has finally has arrived and passed. So each day I was with her
finish planning what needed to get done and having parties for her. One day we
had a girls day and went and got our nail down then I was able to be there with
her while my older sister took some first moment shots with Jake seeing her for
the first time in her dress. It was so cool and so glad that I was part of
that. My sister did an amazing job capturing all the moments. One thing that I
will never forget is that giant spider that went up her dress I flipped out and
Jake had to come to the rescue. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She got
married on Friday August 28 and she was the most beautiful bride that I have
even see (besides myself haha) </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then school started for Travis and we applied for graduation
in hopes that he can in December (cross your fingers for him). The week after
that Donaven started school and he is so happy but he is having a hard time because
he doesn’t have any friends yet and he thinks he can go to kindergarten when in
2 day and every time I tell him no he gets sad and doesn’t understand why
because he is almost 5 and that’s when he gets to go. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">LeeAnna is now 3 months old and is getting bigger every day.
She is starting to actually be fun. She now will smile a ton when you talk to
her and will start to talk for a long period of time. She still loves to see
everything that is going on and loves to be talked to. Loves her mommy and
getting used to daddy. Starting to grip things and her brothers are even more
in love with her than they day she was born if that is possible. We are so
lucky to have her. She sleeps through the night since about 2 months old. Her
last feeding is around 8-9 at night and then she wakes at around 4-5am to eat
and then goes back to bed for a little bit longer until she starts to hear her
brothers make all the noise in the morning. She loves to lay on the ground and
look at the fan (we call the fan her best friend because she sits and smiles
and talks to it every day), she also loves her swing and loves to stand up when she is awake so that she can see what is happening around her. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Things have been going well here at the Baker house. So I am
going to turn a new leaf so we will see if I can do it. I want to try and post
every month about what we have done or whatever. So we will see if I can do it.

visitors over the last month which has been so much fun. We have been able to do so
many fun things and have parties. I must say one of my favorite is we had an impromptu
water fight which was so much fun. Travis couldn’t join so when he got home
from work we made sure he was part of it. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Donaven has been going to summer school just for the month of July
which he has loved. I am so glad that we found this little preschool for him to
go and meet new friends and learn. I tried to get him to learn with me but he
was and still is stubborn little guy. He has learned so much and he continues to
learn each and every day. Excited to see what this next year will bring us. We
are so blessed to have him be our oldest child because he is so much help
around the house and with his younger siblings. He also got to play his first
year of T-ball and loved every moment of it. He did such an amazing job. The
games were only 1 hour but they were so fun to watch. He was so focused on what was happening that he actually stayed focused for the
entire game. He ran after every ball no matter where it was hit he was there and he
would slide to make sure he got it over his teammates. He is a great ball
player excited to watch him play in the future years. He is already talking
about playing next year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Oh my then there is Oren. I am trying to potty train him but
he wants nothing to do with it. He knows and understand he just does not want
anything to do with it. We have tried barging with him we even told him we
would take him to Disneyland and he just looks and he says “no I am baby I want
a diaper.” He ADORES his little sister and some days a little too much. He is
so concerned with her and wants to make sure she is ok and happy. Oren loved to
go and watch his brother play baseball and cannot wait till next year when he
can play as well. He loves to help me out while I make dinner or whatever.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">LeeAnna is getting so big. I know this time goes by so fast
and I need to enjoy every moment but it really has been going too fast. She is
already 7 weeks old and so adorable. She smiles every once in a while and it
just lights up the whole room and her. She loves to sit up and see what is
going on around her. Doesn’t like it when her brothers are all up in her face
but oh well. She sleeps well. Loves to be talked to and watch fans and swing in
her swing and when she goes to sleeps needs to be all bundled up. She like her
bath time. </span><br />

I cannot believe that it has already been 2 weeks since our
sweet little Melanie LeeAnna joined our family. This has been the best delivery
and maybe the worst recovery. We have had good days and our bad days. This will
be a long one so beware I hope you have a few moments. Plus all the pictures <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> <o:p></o:p></div>

This little girl is very special in so many ways. I am so
lucky that she picked me to be her mother. I cannot wait to see what she brings
to the family. She is already loved by everyone that has seen her. He brothers
just ADORE her and I mean adore they do not leave her alone. Oren always has to
be near her touching her or holding her if she is in his eye sight <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> She is very lucky to
have 2 amazing big brothers who will take care of her and be there for her. Daddy
is just in love with his little girl and is so excited to finally have a little
girl. I am just beyond thrilled to finally have a little girl to dress up and
later down the road have girl nights with her. I already love dressing her up
and she always has to have a bow on her head except of course when she is going
to bed. All that will have to be saved for another post. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
First off I want to tell you about her name then I will tell
you about my birth experience because it was the best one. We have a hard time
agreeing on names. As it got closer to figuring out the gender we were trying
to figure out names and we came up a boy name but we could not agree on a girl
name. Well in December we found out Travis sister was not going to be with us
for much longer and we wanted to honor her in some way if it was a girl. So we
went through many names trying to figure out what we could call her if she was
a girl. Well in the middle of the night in December (and our ultrasound was not
till January) I woke up and I had this voice say Melanie LeeAnna is coming and
then I went right back to sleep. I woke up that morning and remembered the name
and I still get the goose bumps when I think about that night. So I went to my
mother in law the very next day and asked her if she would be ok if I were to
use her daughter name as my daughter name if Travis agreed to my name. To my
surprise she was thrilled as could be. So I told Travis the name and he loved
it. So then I had to decided how I was going to spell her middle name. Well my
father in law first name is Lee and I have a sister named JoAnna. So I put the
two names together and came up with LeeAnna. Her name is a very special name
and she will have a lot of people watching over her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So we arrived at the hospital 6 am and waited which felt like
forever. We got into the room got ready and the lady said a different name and
I was like no that’s not me and she was like what wait. She had the wrong
chart. Came back with the right chart and then a couple minutes later another
nurse came in and had the wrong chart again. At this point I was getting a
little nervous but glad that they always checked information before doing
anything. Then the odd question the nurse asked me was what my birthing plan
was? I was like I am having a c-section what else is there. She then asked me
if I would like to do skin to skin contact with my baby. I was like you will allow that and she said
they are now allowing c-section mothers to do that as well because it is just
as important to those mother/ baby as it is to natural birthing mother/baby.
With my boys I only got to see them for just a moment before they took them and
Travis away while they fixed me up and put me in recovery. I always hated that
because it would be like 2 hours before I heard anything about my baby or got
to see them. So I jumped at the opportunity to hold her right away. So she came
our screaming and everyone told me she was a girl I was just thrilled and
relived she was in fact a girl (to many scaring stories about wrong gender) So
they cleaned her up a little and then they came and laid her right on my chest.
It was the most amazing feeling in the world. She was and is so beautiful. It
was amazing to finally be able to hold her and create more of a bond with her.
After a little bit they took her and did everything else that they needed to
do. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She weighted 7 lbs 10 ounces 19.5 inches long born at 7:57 am.
As I came into recovery room there she and Travis were. I was shocked because
that has never happened. And the moment I was parked in my bed and awake a
little they had her on my chest to try breastfeed. I was just so impressed with
St. Luke and how they treated my family and I. They even allowed my extended
family to come into the recovery room to come see us. They did not allow Travis
to have her alone or to go show her off because Melanie had to be my side the
entire time unless it was a nurse taking her to the nursery. We stayed in the
hospital for about 4 days. The last day and a half she had a hard time nursing
and I started to get my milk in so yeah it was been rough on both of us. She
passed all of her test and everyone just loved her and wanted to hold her (made
me feel good). The only problem that we came across was that she lost 10.8% of
her weight which is not good. So she left the hospital weighing 6 lb 13 ounces.
They do not like a baby to lose more than 10% so lucky for us my doctor likes
me and knows I will listen to her instructions and come and see her and she let
us go home when everyone else told her no. So we had to make an appointment to
go see her the very next day. I also had to feed every 2 hours and then
supplement with formula right after to try and get her weight back up. It was a
very long day/night. So we went the next day and she gained 2 ounces. So I had
to continue to feed every 2-3 hours but did not have to supplement formula
anymore. It was still really hard because she refused to breastfeed she just
wanted to the bottle. So we went in on Monday and she only gained 1 ounce this
time. We were all shocked because when she would eat a bottle she would eat a
lot. Doctor still wasn't very happy but happy enough that she is getting there.
She is going on vacation so she said she would see us in two weeks but if we had
concerns to come in and see one of the other doctors. Since then she has done a
ton better with breastfeeding but she has to be mad to latch on correctly and
get the flow that she would like. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>
Overall she is doing well and we are all in love with her. <o:p></o:p></div>

As for my recovery this is probably the hardest. I have had
a lot pain physically and emotionally. It has not been easy not being able to
help around my house hold my boys when they want mommy and move the way I think
I should move. C-sections have a recovery time of 4-6 weeks and man they are
the longest. Thank goodness for family and all their help we could not do it
without them. I have all of my family right here in the valley that have come
over and my in-laws have come from Pocatello. They have been so sweet and have
come down to help us out. For the first week we had Heather here to help with
the boys and keep things in order while I was at the hospital then on Friday my
mother/father in law came with Kim for the weekend to meet this sweet little angle
then they left and left my mother in-law here with us. She is staying with us
for two weeks (bless her heart) I am so grateful for her help and willingness
to leave her responsibility and come here and help my family and I. My ward has also been amazing with all the
meals and willingness to help us out (thanks for not letting us starve <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>) </div>

So life has been busy yet super exciting. Well as you all
now we are expecting our little girl June 2 which is like 27 days away. Which
is crazy to think, that in just a little over 3 weeks we will have a new little
angle in our lives. We cannot wait to meet her and see all the adventures life
bring us. As well as bringing a new addition into the family I am FINALLY
GRADUATING!!!! YAY I am so excited and cannot wait for this to be done. I have
worked so hard and I never thought this day was going to happen for me. Once we
started our family I dropped to part time school because I did not feel like I
could handle of the pressure and I wanted to enjoy my kids why they were young.
Then Oren came and threw us for a loop
and I didn’t go to school for a little bit so I have been off and on which has
been fine but rough. I am just so glad the day has finally come and so excited
to share it with my family. I have taken my last final and got 100% which has
never happen always been close but never a perfect 100% on an exam (very
excited about that) I have written my first and last 12-15 page research paper
and its turn in with a presentation and power point. I am working on my last
paper which is only like 3-5 pages and doesn't seem that difficult compared to
my 12-15 page paper. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>
My graduation is May 17 and then I will have a two week vacation then our sweet
Melanie LeeAnna comes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am so
excited for her to get here yet scared all at the same time. I know things will
be difference and may be harder at times but excited. She has been difficult
yet nice to me during this pregnancy. I was only sick for about 5-6 months
instead of the entire 9 months which was a huge plus. Then my blood pressure
has been normal and nothing to really worry about. Since my boys gave me high
blood pressure I have been on my doctor radar and watched very carefully. The only thing that she did give to me is a
lot of pain. I have had sciatic nerve pain in my left leg and there is nothing
that you can really do about it but move slowly. So that has been fun to deal with not but hey I will take that
over bed rest any day, and now I am just get pain at random times in the day
that are a killer along with Braxton hicks (we think). She is a huge mover. She does not sit still.
She moves in the morning, afternoon and night which is a lot of fun to feel but
sometime she can hurt me because she is just a little stinker. She also only
allows me to either sleep on my back or my right side. She loves to listen to
music no matter what kind. Travis and I went to Wicked a couple weeks ago and
she moved the entire time and when the boys and I dance and sing she is doing
the same thing.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">I have
worked on her room for a while because I never knew what I really wanted but I
loved how it turned out and so glad my idea came together. It still is not the most organized room but you can get the picture. I think we are
pretty much ready for her to get her. I just had my baby shower which was
amazing thanks to my wonderful sisters (JoAnna, JoLyn, Heather, Kim, Val) they
did a wonderful job and to all those that came a spoiled Melanie and I rotten.
I never thought I would have that much pink in her wardrobe LOL. So grateful
for my friends and family that came. Having my shower done with just makes this
so much more real because it means we are so close. I am starting my weekly
visits to my doctor and everything is looking good so far. I even have my c-section

So I thought I would tell you a little story. Donaven has
always been my sensitive boy. He and I have a connection that I hope will last
forever. He knows when I am sad, worried, sick, and happy or whatever and he
feels it as well. When I got pregnant with Oren I was really sick and he would
be there for me when Travis was at work. He would hold my hair back for me as I
threw up and then he would just hold me and let us relax. Or when I was upset
about something he would always come and ask what he could do to help me. With
this pregnancy he has done everything plus more than last time. One time when
Oren was down for a nap he has told me to lay in his lap and he would hold me
and he rubbed my back and told me to take a nap and he would take care of me.
He just melts my heart. He is such a mommy boy and I wouldn't change it for the
world. </div>

When he first found out that that I was pregnant he told me
it was going to be girl and I just laughed and said we would see. As time went
by he changed his mind and told me he wanted a brother. So when we found out
for sure the gender we went and bought outfits and wrapped it up and let him
figure it out by himself. Well he just threw the outfits and said I don’t want
a sister and he doesn't like pink. We all just laughed and said that was ok and
we can get her different colors. As time has gone by he has changed him mind
and is very excited that he is getting a little sister. Every night he gives my
tummy a hug and kisses it and says goodnight sister and he will even pray that
she will grow. Random times during the day he will say something about what he
will do with his sister when she gets her. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
One moment that just touched me was today. It was just him
and I in the car and he was talking about how when his little sister gets here
he will change her diaper and then have to put it in the trash. Then he told me
that he was worried about her. The other day grandma grandma game him and Oren
some money to put in their piggy bank. Well today he realized that his sister
doesn't have one and that bothered him really bad. So he found a little piggy
bank we had and as he was placing his money in his piggy bank he split it with
his sister placing a coin in his and then one in hers. </div>

I just cannot believe how much he loves and adores and
worries about his little sister and she is not even here yet. He is an amazing
big brother to Oren and I know he will be a huge helper and will protect his
little sister as the years go on. I am very lucky to have such a sensitive
child. I hope that he does not lose this quality. I love his so much and am so
proud of the boy/man he is becoming. I love you Donaven Jeffery!</div>

<br />
First Donaven is in Preschool and loves every moment of it. He has learned a lot and continues to do so. He has made a new friend at school which turns out that we know his parents but didn't realize until we had him over on day. He is starting to dress himself and that’s been fun to watch except when he come out with something weird and I try to get him to change and he looks and says “mom I don’t want to match today so it’s ok!” He is doing really well at writing his name and recognizing the letters. He loves to have his mommy time when Oren goes down for his naps. He loves to play the Wii and Infinity. He has an amazing imagination that just blows my mind. I love to watch him play with his toys and see what he comes up with. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMMEHMzwjO6Sidtrg8qsAkyVJfiOa4B1-5Lo0c21-PLweivpuY7HIr-gqkSTYmDU86KLogr4hlbUHXtuj2-xpesEWWSoFIpDYQhj5VNItiZLYtP8ewdVFOpepOWNtCNRZLbO3TJahtdug/s1600/DJ+32014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMMEHMzwjO6Sidtrg8qsAkyVJfiOa4B1-5Lo0c21-PLweivpuY7HIr-gqkSTYmDU86KLogr4hlbUHXtuj2-xpesEWWSoFIpDYQhj5VNItiZLYtP8ewdVFOpepOWNtCNRZLbO3TJahtdug/s1600/DJ+32014.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Oren he is just a bundle of joy. He was really upset the first time we took Donaven to school he just cried and didn't know what to do without his best buddy home to play with. It took him a little bit but he finally likes his mommy time. He can play with his brother toys without getting in trouble lol. We have moved Oren into a big bed months ago and now we have placed him in Donaven room. That has been a challenge because he only wants to play. So we are working on it. Then we hope to start potty training him in the next couple of months. We have gotten a little interest but not enough to go full force yet. He loves to play and rough house with everyone and anybody. He is starting to get imagination just like his brother and he had sound effects which just makes it a ton better. </span><br />

<br />
Travis is still working hard as an Assistant Home Relief at Fred Meyer and going to school as well. So he keeps busy as well as trying to take care of me and the boys. I am lucky to have such an amazing husband that allows me to stay home and take care of the boys and our house.<br />
<br />
Our exciting news which most people know but we are expecting our 3rd baby and it’s a GIRL. We are so excited cannot even stand it. Donaven wasn't excited the first time we told him and told me to take it back because he wanted an older brother. Well with time he has come to love the idea of a little sister. He loves to talk to her and give her hugs and kisses everyday which just melts my heart. He will even pray that she grows strong in mommy tummy. It is seriously the cutest thing. Oren still doesn't understand completely like Donaven but he knows mommy has a baby in her tummy. We are in the process of setting up her room. I am due June 9th but since I have c-sections I will most likely have her June 2. So we are looking at 12 weeks away. Crazy! She has a very special name and which is Melanie LeeAnna Baker. Funny story about her name we have had a hard time with coming up with a a girl name that we both like but we have boys names ready to go. One night I was sleeping and I woke up from my sleep and I heard that Melanie LeeAnna will be her name. At this point we did not know she was a girl so I told Travis that was going to be her name if this baby was a girl. She is named after Travis sister who passed away this January from cancer. We love her and miss her every day. We wanted to have her with us and what better way to honor her than to use her name. He middle name is after Travis dad because his first name is Lee and Anna is after my sister JoAnna. She is very special little girl. We are all excited to meet her and spoil her.<br />
<br />
As for me the pregnancy has gone just like my other ones. I have been sick since day one and needed medication to help me get through my days. It’s getting better now as I do not have to take it every day just as long as I keep it low key until like 9am. Doctor says everything is looking good and so far my blood pressure is fine so we are crossing our fingers. I am going to school but the exciting thing is that it is my last semester. I graduate in May YAY!!!!! So it has been a little stressful on me as I am taking three classes on top of everything else that goes on in my life. So we are a little busy.<br />

So I will talk for a little about each trip but mostly I am going to use pictures to tell about our wonderful adventures. Going to warn you there will be A LOT of pictures so have fun sorry it will be long but promise you will enjoy these pictures.<br />
<br />
So first one we left right after my last final and headed on our long journey to St. George just the boys and I. I know 12 hour drive just by myself I just may go insane so I broke it up and it took us three day to get there. Our first stop was at Chubbuck to see the Baker family. Which was a blast then we stole Kim and Mel and took them to Salt Lake with us. We meet up with Heather and went to lunch and then we surprised to boys and took them to the ZOO. Which was awesome and the boys loved every minute of it. Oren just watched out for anything that resembled a bird and then ran over to it growling lol. Then we went back and got settle in for bed. But my night did not go as plan. I was up all hours of the night with Oren and then when we went to go leave he tripped and feel and cut his lip. So it was a long trip for everyone. But the boys did awesome. We finally got there and the boys were so excited to Grandma Great and have fun. We also were able to spend quality time with my brother and his family as well. Then towards the end of the week the rest of the gang showed up, Grandma Grandma, Papa, Jo, Neilsen, Traci, Nat, Jami got there so Grandma Great had a house full. The special occasion was that my cousin Kason was getting married. So happy for them. The started the drive home again alone. But this time I just went straight to Chubbuck to the Bakers and then the next day went home. Very event full and very exhausted.<br />

Doing the Carousel. We rode this about 5 times and the boys loved it. What was funny was we were at the bird show and when we came out Donaven saw this and asked his aunt Heboo if he could ride and it and she said well you need money and he dug into his pocket and pulled out all the change that Kimmy had give him and said I have money and well could help but buy him some tickets. He is just too cute for words.<br />

Uncle Jon trying to stay cool :)<br />
<br />
Then we came home for 2 weeks and then we headed back to St. George to drop Grandma Great and Grandma off. Stayed there for a day and then left for next vacation to Prescott Arizona to go see the Jefferies. Super excited its been a while since we have seen them. So thankful for them and letting us stay with them and feeding us and showing us a fun time. We were there for a week and it was a blast.<br />

Snack time. Towards the end of the week the blue chair because the hot spot. They fought over it all the time and could cry when they didn't get it. One time Donaven didn't eat lunch with them because he couldn't sit in the blue chair. So funny. (he also had issues with girl items and he would remind everyone remember I'm not a girl. Savanna made him a picture of a butterfly and cut it out and Donaven about potted a cork. He couldn't believe that she could tear the paper and then give it to him. So she started getting upset because Donaven wouldn't take it and said fine I will make you a new butterfly and heart.So funny then she came back and she had drew a picture of him angry and she was sad. So cute I had to keep it.<br />

Then after our week was over we were all sad to leave we headed back to St. George to pick up Grandma and head home. Thank you so much Jillian for hosting us and putting up with the screaming, crying, and making memories that will last a life time. I sure hope its not long time we can do this again. Super excited to meet your new member of your family coming in August and hope it all goes well.<br />
<br />
These last pictures are just from the one day in St.George and the way home. Big thanks to my mom and he support and willingness to help me and my children.<br />

Then I took the boys to the temple since I didn't get around to it last time we were down. It went wonderfully. They boy sat and listen to the recording and asked me a lot of questions. I was so proud of them and how well they did. As we sat down look at Christ the lady asked if we wanted the message and I was going to say no because didn't think they would sit but Donaven said yes and he was like mommy its Jesus talking to me. It was such an amazing moment for us both. So proud of the man he is becoming and couldn't ask for a better son's. Then we went and watched a video and he was like mommy we do that and wondering why we were watching and I explained.<br />

Grandma was so sweet and she bought present for the boys to open during the trip when they started to get restless and they loved every single one of them. This was one stop and we played on the play ground and then we had poppers. Oren realized that it was easier for him to pop them by stepping on them and Donaven just threw them. So cute.<br />

Time went by so fast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One year ago today I was getting everything packed in my bags so we would be ready to go to the hospital to have a little Oren Dean grace us with is presence. He was born 11/11/11 at 12:10pm. I will never forget the 9 months that we shared together even though he gave me a lot of problems but it was all worth it in the end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Oren is completely different than Donaven in so many ways. He keeps us on our toes at all times. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We are so lucky to have him in our lives. He is something special. For his birthday I wanted to do something fun and interesting and I did. I looked on the internet mostly Pinterest (love that place), and I found the perfect theme for my little guy. Its unique just like him. I try and do a theme that matches their personality. But Oren is just
all over the place. He can do nothing and be happy. Doesn't have to have
a certain toy every day, just goes with the flow (mostly his brother :)
So I came across the theme of UNO and feel in love. So that was his
amazing theme. I worked all month long on different projects when I could. Since Travis birthday is just two days after Oren we decided that we would just combine them and have a double birthday party. I know the theme wasn't that great for Travis but got to pick the food and got presents too. So it all worked out :) We had two parties one was with the Baker family and the second was with the Lang family. Both went well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> I made both of the boys shirts. That was a project in a half. I found many different things on pinterst but then my sister in law told me she new a easier way. So I returned everything and went the easier way. Loved them. All I did was buy fabric transfer paper and took an uno card to the store and had them blow it up for me, then printed it out on the transfer paper and iron on the shirt. LOVE it. I have even washed it and stayed on and nothing came off. I will do that again. Travis shirt is the Wild one. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> This was his face after opening a present from Grandma/Grandpa Baker. It was priceless and so fun to watch him. He wasn't sure about everything at first. He reminded me of Donaven because after each piece of paper he took off he would have to hand it to someone before he began opening the present again. :) Donaven had a hard time letting just his brother open present but daddy was nice and let Donaven help him open his presents. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> My longest project that I did were these posters. If you remember back in grade school when you made tissue paper projects, where you would use little squares of tissue paper and you used glue and end of pencil and twisted and them put on paper. Well That is what those are. TOOK FOREVER. I used a projector from Kim and blew them up big enough and then started the process. Oren is #1 and Travis was the Reverse sign. I wish I would have done a Wild but I wasn't really thinking. But I love it too. </span><br />

Beware its long.<br />
<br />
<b>OREN:</b> I have enjoyed watching him grow and become his own little person. From the beginning I knew it was going to be different then Donaven. He has been a bit more of a challenge for me. Not that he is a bad babe because he is not just different. He started taking a bottle when I went back to school and then one day all of sudden stopped. YES STOPPED. He refuses to eat. He will go 10-12 hours without eating, and he refused to eat food. I tried so hard to get him to take a bottle when I wasn’t home but it never worked. So after 2 weeks of trying and crying I gave up. It was so hard on us (most me I think). It took 2 hours just to get him to drink maybe 2 ounce if that. You had to pin him down and pray he would take it. So I asked my doctor what to do and she has told me I need to leave him for a weekend with someone and maybe he will learn to drink from a bottle. Then he got sick with an ear infection, then we went on vacation for almost 2 weeks came on home Travis didn’t have 2 days off in a row then he got another ear infection thought it was done and then he got another one and the doctors says the medication didn’t work. Then he got pink eye which I have no idea how he got that but he did. So needless to say I have not left him for a weekend. So I pretty much just gave up and decided to stick it out till the end of the year since he will be ONE already. Insane that my baby will be one already.
<br />
<br />
He is one lazy butt.:) So before I had him people always told me never to compare the two boys because they will be completely different and I was convinced that I never would well guess what I did. I didn’t think I was but I caught myself and I felt bad but wow is it hard not to. This kid has rolled over once and it was on the couch at about 3-4mths old and has done nothing since. He was able to sit up on his own by 5mth and when I brought this up to my doctor she said its ok doesn’t matter because he could sit up that all that matters. So that relieved me a little. So it has been nice because I can sit him down anywhere and know he will not go anywhere. But little did I know he would soon learn to move and shift in different directions. He is able to get onto him tummy and get back to him butt and he crawls backwards. Which is really funny, but he gets around very well doing that. He still will not roll over to his back so when he gets stuck he will just sit and cry until someone comes to help him. He will pull himself up on objects/people if they are stable enough. He has two teeth coming in on the bottom. He loves to rough house with his older brother which worries me little because Donaven doesn’t know how to be soft at times. There has been a time I come in and Donaven is standing on Oren and Oren is just laughing and thinks it funny. So of course so does Donaven. Oren loves to watch is brother play and be his weird self. He loves to shake his head “no” and clad his hands when you say “Yay Oren.”<br />
<br />
He is a MOMMY boy to the max. He will be fine when I am in his eye sight the minute I leave you would of though he was going to die. Some days it funny other days not so much because then I have no quite time. He really is the cutest thing in the world. We are very lucky to have him in our lives. It’s a fun adventure every day with him.
<b></b><br />
<br />
<b>DONAVEN:</b> What to say about him well he is 2 ½ years old so we are getting to the stage of tantrums and well he does have them but not as often as I thought he was going to have them. There will be times that he yells at me trying to get his point across and it is just so funny I just don’t know what to do. My family saw it for the first time the other day and they couldn’t believe their eyes. They laughed so hard and said if he could really talk he could be cursing at me.
He loves and I mean LOVES sports. He plays all of them to Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Gold, Tennis, Soccer. He will play inside or outside. The funniest part is for his bats he will not use his bat he has to use my spatulas and makes up the rules. He will dress you up with a hat, bat and ball. It has been entertaining to see his aunts being dressed up by a 2yr old. But they do just go along and have a blast. They are awesome sports.<br />
<br />
He is talking so much more and most people can understand him which is awesome. He loves his little brother and will protect him with all that he has.
We got an ipad at the beginning of the year and that kid doesn’t go anywhere without it. I was a little worried at first but he has learned so much from it. He can sometimes work it better than Trav and I can. He even taught his Grandma Great how to use it. She was so shocked to see that he knew how to work it. He can do puzzles with his eyes shut. Loves to watch shows on it, loves to draw and color. He is pretty good taking turns with it but when he has it and doesn’t want to share you better run and hide.<br />
<br />

Starting to try and get him interested in potty training. So far so good, he wants to actually sit on the potty which is a big step in <br />
my book. Usually he would just walk in the bathroom and be done with it now he is finally sitting on the potty. He gets so excited about it and wants to do it again. He knows when he is going so we are just about there. Super excited for that next adventure and plus that means I will only have one in diapers which would be awesome. So I am hoping by the time he is 3 which gives me 5 months that he will be potty trained. So wish me good luck.

Since this is such a long post I am going to end it here and update Travis and I another day. <br />

But hey at least I am trying)The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-13852381888211935652012-01-16T21:52:00.001-08:002012-01-16T21:52:41.429-08:00New YearOk ok I know I said I was going to do better at this whole blog thing. I was on a role and then our sweet little angle came into our life and it’s been crazy good. So lets see if I can catch you up again. <br /><br />DECEMBER: My mother in law came and stayed with us for a week which was awesome. We enjoyed her company. We blessed Oren on the 4th and we did a double blessing with my cousin who had her baby a month before. It was really nice and all the extended family there. After the meeting everyone came to my house for a baked potato bar. If you have been to my house it isn’t the biggest but it not small either (perfect for our family) we ended up having close to 80 people in our house. Let’s just say crazy. There were people in the bed rooms, outside, in the garage, on the floor, on laps you get the picture. We wouldn’t have it any other way. It was a great day. <br />Donaven turn 2 on the 17th. He is getting so big. We had just a small little party with family and two of his really good friends the Jefferies. They loved just running around and screaming (lol). <br />Christmas was awesome. We really enjoyed watching Donaven open his presents. He would unwrap them very slowing and after ripping a piece he would hand it to Travis or I. After each present he wanted to open it and play with it. It was hard to get him to open his other presents. We had to hide the present that he was playing to get him to open his other ones. The thing that I learned and very proud of him is that he is ok with just one present he doesn’t need a ton. Let’s just hope it stays that way. <br />Then it was my birthday! YAY! Travis took me to a movie and it was the first time that we left Oren and I was really scared but we left him with my mom and I knew he would be safe. <br /><br />January: We went on our first road trip with both boys to Pocatello to visit the Bakers. We went for 2 days and I can’t believe how much stuff you have to have for 2 kids. It went really well. Donaven and Oren got to spend time with his Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and Grandpa, Grandma. Whenever I go down there I love to play the game 5 crowns. That’s all I want play. Lucky me they love to play it and gave into me and played it over and over again. Then I got my sister in laws Kim and heather to play Just Dance 3. It was the funniest thing ever. I really enjoyed watching them dance and seeing them huff and puff and for being troopers. I have pictures and videos but I don’t think they would like me to post them. So I will hold off until I talk to them. We played for about 2-3 hours. <br />Our church time switched and now we go at 9am which is going to be nice but not at the same time. The only reason I don’t like it is because I have to get both boys ready along with myself and to the church on time all by myself. Travis isn’t off work until 830-9 and so he will go straight to the church to get the sacrament and then go home and change and come back. It will be difficult on me during sacrament and let’s just hope I don’t have to take them out or that will be a whole different story. I do have to share something though. Sunday in relief society we talked about not judging others and our teacher told a story about how one time she was with her sister in law and there was a homeless guy on the side of the road and the sister in law asked for her purse and wanted to find cash for the homeless person. And the only cash she could find was a $20 and she gave it to him. She couldn’t believe that her sister in law was really giving him a $20 because she doesn’t know what he was going to spend it on. She was like yeah but that’s not my place to judge I am just doing the right thing to help someone. Then they went on their way to the store a few miles away. When they came out of the store that same homeless guy had followed them and he came up to her and told her she was his angel and he was so grateful for her. Because that money was going to feed him and his son and that she would never know what that meant to him. I just got the chills and started crying because home many times has that happened to me when I don’t want to give them money because I think they will just spend it on drugs or cigarettes. But that’s not my place if I can help someone I should. Because the savior would give everything he had to someone if they were in need and I need to do the same. Just got me thinking on how I should can change the way I think and not pre judge those around me. <br />We went to the doctor the other day for our check ups. Oren is 2 months old and weighs <br /> 10 pounds and 21 inches long and is healthy. Donaven is 2 years old and weighs 32 pounds and is 35 inches long. We have healthy boys at our house. <br /><br />Travis and I are both starting school again this week. So life at our house is going to be very busy. Lucky for us we have scheduled our school time around each other, and there is only one day that we have a conflict and have to rely on someone else to watch both boys. My dad is going to by watching the boy on Tuesday from 5-9 so I hope they don’t wear him out to bad and he will still love them just as much when we are done for the semester.The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-15553343631051691372011-11-23T21:21:00.000-08:002011-11-23T21:24:48.784-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrrMJ6LZ8fB-CXcS-0IFQkFA6Y-pXy2z0_ZuB4E4aeHK9kA-ciStw7FvV9pZl3QOL-3da2DZlAG1f2PQG6Qya0xohjSSFq7EBy9iU-U6FJl0XoNG0eKKnJhLy7V-VoVJWxi5bUIiGs_QY/s1600/oren.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrrMJ6LZ8fB-CXcS-0IFQkFA6Y-pXy2z0_ZuB4E4aeHK9kA-ciStw7FvV9pZl3QOL-3da2DZlAG1f2PQG6Qya0xohjSSFq7EBy9iU-U6FJl0XoNG0eKKnJhLy7V-VoVJWxi5bUIiGs_QY/s320/oren.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678428538529385394" /></a><br />OREN is here. He was born 11/11/11 at 12:10 weight 7lbs and 19.4 inches long. He is healthy and strong boy. The nurses just loved him from the beginning. They keep saying what great color he had from the moment they pulled him out. My c-section was fast they started at 12 and he was out by 12:10. They funniest thing I thought was the conversation that my doctors were having while they were operating on me. :) I did have a hard time with the medicine they gave me I was throwing up all day/night. Then they gave me some other medicine to help with the throwing up and well I was out the rest of the night. I do not take medicine well and I told my nurses that before they gave it to me so they were warned. The next morning the nurses looked at me and said you weren’t lying to me when you said you don’t take medicine well and we both laughed. I kind of remember who came up but I don’t remember talking to anyone. When my family heard what they gave me they laughed and said ok I will see her tomorrow. :) Oren and I were in the hospital for 3 days. I have been in a little bit more pain then what I can remember with Donaven. They did have me walking the next morning after my surgery which was different because I thought I would have a little bit more time. I had some great nurses that helped me through everything and they were also very personable and I loved talking to them. Even though this was my second baby I still had a bunch of questions and they would sit with me and talk to me about everything.<br /><br />While Oren and I were in the hospital my sister in law Heather was down to help Travis and Donaven out. Thankful for her because Travis was able to be with me a little bit more that we thought he could be. So thank you Heather. The first week we were home Travis took the whole week off to help out and to be with us. My sister in law Val and her kids came down for the weekend to help out and that was fun. She cleaned my house and helped out with Donaven. Grateful for her love and her support. Then my mom has helped us out the next 9 days which has been amazing. I love her so much. She has been amazing at being here and helping me with Donaven, house, Oren and I. She evens comes over at night to stay on my couch since Travis works the grave yard shift so she is here for me if I need help, also here when Donaven wakes up in the morning. Then she stays with me all day until Travis wakes up and then leaves to go home and then comes back later. I am so lucky to have my mom so close to me and willing to help me out. She has been amazing and I love her so much. I have my mother in law coming next week to be with us. I am looking forward to have here with us and help me out and play five crowns (LOL). <br /><br />Donaven has been an amazing big brother. We are so proud of him. I didn’t set my hopes up high so I wouldn’t be disappointed. Donaven has exceeded my expectations. He has loved his brother and helped us out with him. He calls him his baby. When he hears him cry he runs to him and tries to get him to stop by either giving him a kiss, binky, or patting his tummy. When he hasn’t seen him in a while he will run in his room and climb on the chair and peek in his crib. He is just the cuties thing ever. The first night was different having two different cries to listen for. Oren isn’t a big crier yet but I heard Donaven yell “dada baby dada baby” while he was banging on the door. As soon as I picked up Oren and got him to stop crying he went back to bed. He did it again the next time he woke up. He is either a light sleeper or just very concerned with his little brother. He hasn’t done it since and I am ok with that. <br /><br />Oren is almost 2 weeks old and we all just love him so much. I still can’t believe he is finally here. My days go by so much faster. He is a good baby loves to eat and sleep. Once in awhile he will stay wake during the day for people to talk with him but most of the time he loves to stay awake for at least an hour in the middle of the night. Drives me crazy but figured he just wants to be with his mommy. :) He loves to cuddle on your chest with a blanket. We also went to the doctor yesterday and he has gain weight and he is back up to his birth weight which is awesome. The one thing that I have a hard time with is he only eats for like maybe 10 minutes and then he is done for 3-4 hours. I worried for a while but then I pumped one day for 10 minutes and well lets say he is getting plenty of milk. lol <br /><span style="font-style:italic;"></span>The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-16488842524316761302011-11-06T21:10:00.001-08:002011-11-06T21:24:35.271-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB021Pt-mhjmDHiCNOO2MNbPlbVTgB99S29IQGK4xw7VhNRBGHr5iEzUjmBaVQB-4XV4H0UKWsBGf_i8_Lvl3OLwWzYtFVZ2MFVYDMFVwb_u-K359XZzfacXsZarTmLl9Gcb9z50GR9Lw/s1600/oren.aspx"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 219px; height: 146px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB021Pt-mhjmDHiCNOO2MNbPlbVTgB99S29IQGK4xw7VhNRBGHr5iEzUjmBaVQB-4XV4H0UKWsBGf_i8_Lvl3OLwWzYtFVZ2MFVYDMFVwb_u-K359XZzfacXsZarTmLl9Gcb9z50GR9Lw/s320/oren.aspx" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672120168106977106" /></a> My sister took this picture just the other day. Love it!<br /><br />Well the time has finally come. I didn’t think it would ever come but it is here. Oren will be here in 5 days. I have scheduled a c-section for Friday November 11, 2011 at noon. I have to arrive at the hospital at 10:30 and by 12:30 our little boy will grace us with his presence. We have been contemplating having a c-section or trying to have a v-bac. We were all for a v-bac but with all the complications that I have had we decided to take the safe route and just get him here safe and sound. It will take a little longer to recover but its nothing we can’t handle.<br /> It has been a very rock road but we are on the last days. I could have not made it without the help of my family, friends and ward members. Everyone has been so willing to help. I don’t know what Donaven is going to do when he actually has to stay home with me all the time again lol. He has been good through this whole process. It started out rocking but now when people come over he looks at me and says bye and walks out the door talking away to whoever it is. I am very grateful for everyone that has helped out our family. <br />So next time I update this blog we will have another addition. Can’t wait for you all to meet him. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp8r_UtyZzb9dquwh-cZp0pFW_K5_6FDrCAzl6AgibTlOIW8hIDKPM7TPWrVRs4gOZ821KX7RRA-hY6FMYBywe0vAHlZ584bBTvQ-eSxT9gFHXXLe53Suj95L8Zm_iD8V6c4RAYQ2gpXE/s1600/SDC10196.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp8r_UtyZzb9dquwh-cZp0pFW_K5_6FDrCAzl6AgibTlOIW8hIDKPM7TPWrVRs4gOZ821KX7RRA-hY6FMYBywe0vAHlZ584bBTvQ-eSxT9gFHXXLe53Suj95L8Zm_iD8V6c4RAYQ2gpXE/s320/SDC10196.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672117315226385970" /></a> This is me right before I got put on bedrest so I was about 32 weeks.The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-6704106044349169332011-09-28T20:57:00.000-07:002011-09-28T20:58:34.764-07:00.........Its been a rough few days. Staying off your feet is really hard. There are so many things you want to do but can’t. I have had the best support system and I have only been on bed rest for 5 days. This has been a real test for me and I have grown so much in just five day. <br /><br />My ward has been amazing to us. I don’t know a lot of women in the ward so I guess I figured I wouldn’t get a ton of help because I didn’t know a lot. We have gotten dinner brought to us and there have been sisters coming over and taking Donaven for a few hours every day. I don’t have to worry about him. My friend that used to be in my ward also stopped by and told me ok what do you want me to do. Her willingness to help me when she has such a busy life herself is amazing. I am so grateful for their willingness to help my family and I in this time of need. This has truly strengthened my testimony of so many things but most of all the Relief Society. I had 3 women come over last night to come pick up my house and watch a movie. They didn’t even hesitate to do my dishes in the sink to pick up trash the minute they walked in the door. They were so amazing. They even brought me a treat which tasted so good. Instead of watching a movie we ended up talking which was awesome because I am getting to know them and I love them even more. These women that are helping me out will never understand what it means to me and how grateful I am that they are in my life. <br /><br />Went to the doctor…… My blood pressure went down but it is still high. So my doctor told me that I would probably be on bed rest the rest of the pregnancy which sucks but it’s ok, it will be worth it when Oren gets here. I have to go in every week now. Starting at 35 weeks I will have to go in twice a week and do test to make sure baby and I are healthy. So that will be fun.The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-18946689315049905512011-09-25T12:32:00.000-07:002011-09-25T12:39:49.579-07:0033 Weeks and counting…..Well this is going to be bitter sweet blog today. I went into the doctor 2 weeks ago and my blood pressure jumped so it gave my doctor a red flag. He told me to take it easy and lay down as much as I can. I just laughed and said ok I will do my best. I do have an almost 2 year old. So it has been very interesting. I have done my best. Those who know me know I can’t sit still for the life of me. There is always something that I can be doing. This past week has been really rough on us. I have had some pain when I walk/sit and people tell me that I am having Braxton hicks and others say I am having false labor. I just don’t know what to think. The hard part is I don’t really remember what bad contractions are since I only dilated to a 3 or 4 with Donaven then had an emergency c-section. I can handle pain pretty good, so just don’t know what to think. So I couldn’t wait to go to the doctor to find out what I was feeling. On the other hand I am really scared because if my blood pressure doesn’t go down I am afraid he is going to tell me the worse news I could hear and that is “best rest.” Worst part of all I have planned a girls weekend away with one of my best friend (Jillian) and we leave as soon as my doctor appointment is done on Friday. <br /><br />So all packed and ready to leave for my trip away and just waiting for my doctor appointment. So we go in and kind of nervous but I have been really good and I have been resting a ton so I was just crossing my fingers. So the nurse took my blood pressure and she just looked at me and I freaked out even more then I already was. So she was like I am going to take it again and then I will be right back. Well the doctor came in and was like this is not good. With blood pressure this high we need to admit you to the hospital to stay overnight and keep you and the baby on watch. I just wanted to cry. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. My hubby just looked at me and said breath it will be ok. The worst thing that keeps coming to my mind because my doctor brought it up was that it was going to be preeclampsia. This would mean he could take Oren now. Worst fear. I know he isn’t ready he needs to stay in me and cook for just a few more weeks. So I called my dad and left a message then my sister to tell her and have her call the rest of my family because I wasn’t going to call everyone. My hubby called his side of the family to inform them of the situation. We checked in and lucky us Donaven was having a blast playing with all the tons in the waiting room so he wasn’t a problem. He would see an animal and run over to us and tell us the name and show us the picture. It was the cutest thing. So got checked in and got put in a room lucky me I had extra clothes in the car since I was supposed to be leaving I was able wear my own PJ’s and not the stupid hospital gown. Donaven had so much fun getting into everything. While the nurse was putting the IV Donaven and Travis left the room. Lucky for me she was just cleaning up my hand and Donaven came running into my room and yelled mama and the nurse jumped and things went flying a little. It was so funny she was so glad that she had finished because if not that wouldn’t have been pretty <br /><br />My dad and Anna came up to take Donaven for a little bit. Before my dad left Travis and he gave me a blessing and this was the best thing for me to hear. I am so great for men in my life that hold the priesthood and are able to give me a blessing in time of need. Something that I would like to share was in my blessing Travis told me that I need to learn and understand the word “RELAX” I laugh now because I really don’t know what this word means because I don’t know how to. So this is going to be a big trail in my life. I am going to have to depend upon other people to help me around the house and with my family. I am one that doesn’t like to ask for help. I know that I am going to have to get over this and ask for all the help I can get. I just cried when I think about having other people come over and take Donaven for a few hours while Travis is sleeping because I am alive and I can watch my own son its not like I have 2 broken legs. Oren and I are the most important thing right now. I need to keep both of us save from harm. So I have to be a good girl and rest. I got released from the hospital and I am now on Moderate Bed Rest. This means I can get up to go potty and eat but that is it. I can’t go anywhere or do any chores. So my hubby is getting all the responsibility and I feel bad but he has been really good this weekend. He understands the severity of the situation and has done amazing. So lucky to have him in my life. So let’s hope the next 7 weeks go by fast.The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-46073523050975169842011-09-08T10:44:00.000-07:002011-09-08T10:47:22.164-07:0010 weeks left….Well life has been crazy and slow at the same time. Donaven and I did a lot of traveling in July and we were hardly home. Then August came and for the first time since Travis and I have been married you left me for the weekend and took Donaven with him. I had a weekend to MYSELF!?! I have never had that. I am always the one leaving him. It was actually kind of nice. Didn’t know what to do with myself, so of course I clean the house and worked on the baby room and then my amazing friend Jillian came over and we had a girl’s night which was a blast. We went out to dinner and then watched a movie. I had tons of fun and when Travis got home I said “no wonder you like me to leave” I told him he could do that about once of month and that would be ok with me. <br />We are getting down to the wire for when Oren is going to grace us. We are so excited. I have been working with Donaven that he is going to be a big brother and that mommy has a baby in her tummy. He is doing pretty well with it. When he sees a baby he goes crazy and then he is done. I know he is going to be a great big brother. I painted both of the boy’s room this summer and had a blast doing it. I can’t wait to finish painting the whole house but that takes money and time which it very limited in our hands. I just about have Oren room all done just a few things here and there that we need to get. Can’t explain how excited we are to meet this little boy. We think he is crazy for choosing us as his parents because we are crazy and sometime don’t know what we are doing, but then again who isn’t right. We are thrilled that he has chosen us and we hope we don’t let him down. I know life is going to be crazy and I am never going to have down time again but I can’t wait for that. <br />Update on Donaven. He is crazy as ever. His new favorite things to do are build blocks, clean with a wet wipe, watch Elmo, reading book, repeating words we say and of course play outside. He is getting so big I can’t believe it, he is no longer my little baby. He is sleeping in a big boy bed which he did amazing transferring into. I didn’t have any trouble with that which I was very grateful for. Right now I am teaching him to pick up after himself and its going ok when he is in the mood lol. About 90% of the time he puts everything back where it is supposed to go except when it comes to his books in his room he just throws them on the floor and thinks that it good. He is talking a bunch more which is really fun. My favorite word he says right now is turtle. I don’t know when I love it so much but it is just the cutest thing in the world. <br />Travis has switch back to grave yard shifts which has been nice and hard at the same time. With school starting and changing schedule it is taking time to get used to it. I am so proud of him and thankful for him and all he does for our family. He is the reason that I get to be a stay at home mom and I couldn’t ask for anything else.The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-3894729859006561432011-06-07T20:38:00.000-07:002011-06-07T20:39:35.481-07:00I know it has been a very long time since I have updated out blog. We have a lot to cover since March. Well where to begin. We finally finish school for the semester and we are on to summer which is going to be exciting and adventures for us. <br /><br />Over the past couple of months things have been rough around the edges and I have had a hard time keeping up with Donaven and all of my daily events that I should keep up with. Yes if you haven’t already heard we are excepting a little one on November 18, 2011. We are so excited can’t even stand it. It has pretty much been like my last pregnancy which is SICK SICK SICK. But what can you do about that. Every day I just have to remind myself that I get the privilege to carry a child and the day this baby is born it will be worth everything pain I go through. We are very fortunate to have such a well behaved first child. He has been amazing through the process so far with me being sick. He will just stare at me while I am in the bathroom throwing up and then he will flush the toilet for me and give me loves and lay down with me. Just the cutest thing in the world. I couldn’t ask for a better son. My sense of smell has kicked in very earlier. This is a big change because with Donaven smells didn’t really bother me but this round they do. It amazing that I can smell something horrible and have to leave the room until the smell is gone. Travis is having a hard time with it because he has to do a lot of the dirty work but he has been a good helper. <br /><br />So this summer we are working on changing rooms so Donaven can have a big boy room and putting him into a twin bed. So excited to see how he takes it. I am trying to think of a theme and cute ways to decorate it so if you have any suggestions please let me know (I will take anything). Then we are going to have Donaven old room become the nursery for the new baby. No we do not know what we are having yet but hopefully by the 21 of June we will know. Deep down we both want a little girl but then on the flip side we hope it’s a boy because we have anything and won’t really need to buy anything. We will take whatever the lord gives us. Also this summer we hope to paint the inside of our house room by room. Picking out paint is a big decisions and tough one, never would have thought lol. <br /><br />Travis is training to become a Manger at work. So he has a new schedule and not going to lie I hate it. He seems to always be gone. I loved his old shift which was grave yard because his schedule was consistent and he got to spend tons of time with Donaven and I. We are having a hard time getting used to yet but who wouldn’t. So he is doing this training for about 2 months and then he will be back to grave yards. Then he also got a calling in church to be the Stake Assistant Athletic Director. This calling has been great for him and getting out there to meet new people.<br /><br />I am still a Premier Designs Consultant and I am loving it. It has been good, some months are slower than others but what can you expect. Other than that I am just staying home with my boy. We did take up watching my niece Tagen while her parents work Monday-Friday. That has been really good for Donaven in teaching him to share and be soft. Does really good for the first few hours then realizes what he is doing and stops. Really funny. Other than being pregnant and sick all the time that’s I am doing.<br /><br />We did get Roaring Springs season pass we just hope the weather warms up so we can start using them. We are going on our Family Vacation at the end of this month. So hopefully that goes well. Going to St. George for a week and a half just me and Donaven then Travis is meeting us there and going to San Diego for a week.The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-31063371184184563072011-03-22T21:03:00.000-07:002011-03-22T21:37:11.273-07:00Oh my goodness….I have been so bad at this. I always forget that I have one of these. I just love to look at other peoples and get ideas and see what is new with them. Then when I normally remember I get distracted. Well just a little update on the family. <br /><br /> Travis and I just celebrated our 3rd anniversary. We had so much fun. His parents came down for the weekend and it was so nice to have them all to ourselves. Went out to dinner played games and my mother in law beat me really bad. One game that I LOVE to play is 5 crowns; well let me just say she had the new/best record ever. She won 0 to 52 I think. It was ridiculous. I didn’t want to play the rest of the weekend but I did anyways. Then main reason they came down was so that Travis and I could go away for a night and enjoy each other like we used to. Hahaha. We always have a hard time leaving our little boy so it took us a little bit to leave. Once we did we went to Wahoos. OMG that was much fun. We wanted to see how many tickets we could get because we can never ever get over 150 and you will never believe it we won 474 tickets we were so excited. Our first game we played was Deal or No Deal. And Travis picked number 11. We had a few scares here and there. We were down to 2 case ours and the one on the board. One had 15 tickets and the other have 100 tickets (the highest you could win). We said no to our deal of 57 tickets and risked it all. We WON 100 TICKETS. We were so excited. Didn’t stop there, we saw a lady playing a game and she was getting tons of tickets but just dropping a coin in so that is what we ended up playing the rest of the night after basketball, skeeball (don’t know if that’s how you spell it but oh well lol), and air hockey. So we went up to the counter to pick our prizes and all we could think about is what Donaven would like to play with. So we got a giant dice, Hammer, football, one air head and two tootsie rolls. We were so excited and then realized we had the blow them all up and we don’t have a pump so needless to say they are still sitting on the counter waiting to be blown up. Then we went shopping/looking around at Toys R Us, Old Navy, then went and walked the Mall, went to dinner at Olive Garden and our waitress was fantastic, then went to Fred Meyers to buy a game and then we went to the Anniversary Inn. We started in the Hollywood Romance Room. Loved it, so pretty and relaxing. <br /><br /> Sadly I am still in school but, I went and talked with an advisor as long as I at least take 9 credits a semester I will graduate in 2013. How awesome is that. I am super excited and I can finally see the end. I just hope that every things works out and I will be able to finally graduate. Starting next summer Travis and I are both going to take summer classes to help the process go faster. We still don’t know how long Travis has but he just needs to get in with an advisor and talk it out. I don’t think he has much longer either. <br /><br /> Travis works so hard and I am so proud of him. In June and July his schedule will be changing to 1-11pm. Which will suck but it will be worth it in the end. Donaven and I will just have to adjust the best we can. The reason this is happening is that he is training to become a Manger for Fred Meyer. I am so proud of him and everything he has done for this family and letting me stay home with our wonderful son. <br /><br /> Donaven is growing every day. Just gave him a hair cute the other day and he looks so much older and like a mini Travis. Love it. One funny thing I must share with you. My son knows what is right and what is wrong with mommy and daddy but not with other people. He knows he can through the rules out the window. My mom was watching him the other day and Donaven knows he is not supposed to have the red PS remote he can only play with the blue one. But he knew that grandma didn’t know that. So he looked at her and just laughed went and grabbed the blue PS remote and gave it to her and he took the red PS remote and he just started laughing and pushing all the buttons. My mom had no idea why he thought this was funny until we came home and told her. She couldn’t believe that he could have done that. He is a very smart little boy and most of the time too smart for his own good. All we could do is pray he didn’t buy anything and laugh at the situation. Donaven loves to play outside. I am so excited for the weather to get warm because this kid will probably live outside all summer. He is going to have a blast.The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-31395183526294245662010-11-28T21:26:00.000-08:002010-11-28T21:46:20.478-08:00Getting better.....Nothing really new with us. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the family. Miss our other family that lives in Pocatello. Loved the Thanksgiving break away from school, don’t want to go back. We got to enjoy each other and have free time which was so nice even though I really should have done homework. <br /><br />My sister and I went shopping on Black Friday. I know call us crazy. We started at midnight at Wal-Mart, then by 1 we were standing in line a Target for 3 hours (opened at 4) then by 5 we were still in line to check out. I left my sister in line and I went to a Shopko got out of there by 630 and my sister had just been out for maybe 20 minutes. It was crazy insane. Then we went to Fred Meyer to get socks. We were home by 730 got there throw my keys and wallet on the ground and feel to the ground. As soon as I put my head on the ground Donaven attached me. So needless to say I didn't get to sleep every long. We both took a nap together then by 3 I went and woke up Travis so I could get some sleep before the BSU game. So I got into bed then couldn't sleep because all I could think about what that I needed to tell Travis what had happened and everything that I got. So then I did that. Did some work and then I finally feel asleep and then like an hour later it was time to go. So didn't get a lot of sleep but when you’re dumb you got to be tough. The only good thing is that I got most of our Christmas done. Just a few people left and Donaven Birthday!<br /><br />Donaven is turning ONE in 19 days. I can't believe it. Our little boy is one. He has been such a blast this year and I can't wait to see what is in store for us next year. I know it’s going to be a challenge but I can't wait for it. He has been talking and running like crazy. He is such an odd duck and anyone can tell you the same thing. That is the best thing about him. He has his own personality that we just love to have around. He smiles to everyone, loves to give hugs and kisses. And it is usually not one it like ten. This makes anyone’s day. Get into everything and loves to throw it. Drives me crazy. <br /><br />The funniest thing happened tonight. Travis was giving him a bath and usually after every bath he loves to run around naked for a minute or two then he gets ready for bed. Well he thought he would have a little fun with daddy and so did I. Donaven was in the kitchen and Travis was getting up to go get him and I said "run run run" and well he did. Travis was chasing him all over the house while he was naked. He thought it was the funniest thing every. He was laughing so hard he ran into objects. But then would get back up and see where his daddy was. As soon as Travis would get close to him he would run again. I died laughing and Travis was like fine whatever you get him dressed. Then I stopped. :) I was just glad that he didn’t pee or poop on the carpet because that has already happened once when he ran around naked after bath time.The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-43473989411141808872010-11-12T11:00:00.000-08:002010-11-12T11:17:06.017-08:00Why WhyDon't know why it is so hard to try and write something every week but it is.

Which is crazy to think because that means he will be a YEAR old next month. I can't believe how much time has gone by. He is walking and running all over the place. He is a handful. He started walking at 9 months. He can stop just about anyone that he passes. They stop and say how cute he is and then he just smiles and runs away. So funny. Big time flirt and we are not even one. Can you say big trouble. Donaven last time we weighted was at 24 pounds. I know chuncky monkey, he is healthy and strong and that is all that matters to us. We keep hoping that he will start to lose some since he is walking and running but he just seems to want to eat more lol. He is starting not to like baby food any more and wants what ever we are having. He still only has 2 teeth. I keep thinking that he is teething but he's not. So I am waiting for the day that all of his teeth will come in at once. :)<br /> <br />Travis is still working at Freds. He is now working the grave yard shift. Which is kind of nice and not at the same time. We have a lot more family time which is awesome but he is gone during the night and sometimes that is really scary. But it brings in the money to pay the bills. He is getting a raise in the next few weeks we hope. (cross our fingers). So that will be nice to have a little bit more coming in. He is going to school part time and just keeping busy.<br /> <br />I am also going to school and have about 10 credits. I did have 12 but I dropped one class when we were moving and everything was changing. It was just to hard. I actually just started my own business. Premier Designs Jewelry. I am an consultant. I am really excited about it I hope that everything goes well. Its nice just having to work when I want and for how long I want. But the other nice thing is it is kind of my away time from everything. <br /> <br />We just welcomed a new niece into the world today 11/08/10. He name is Jami Lyn Glascock. She was 9 pounds 5 ounces and 22 inches long. She had a lot of dark hair. Just the cutest thing ever.The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-15139512084931834402010-10-08T22:34:00.000-07:002010-10-08T22:55:30.018-07:00I know I know.......So it has been a very long time. But we have been really busy. We finally got our HOUSE. We moved in about 3 weeks ago. So we have been trying to unpack everything. Not as easy as I thought it would be. <br /><br />Donaven is 9mth and will be 10mth on the 17 of this month. Crazy. But what is even crazier is that he is <strong>WALKING YES WALKING</strong>. All over the place. So funny and amazing to see him explore everything. So we have been on our toes. He has even found out how to get off the sofa and out the front door and get on the grass plus put all the rocks he can fit into his mouth. I am just amazed at how smart this little boy is. Some times to smart for his own good. <br /><br />School has been really hard for Trav and I right now. I think with everything that has been going on we just don't want to go and do anything that has to deal with school. So it has been a struggle for the both of us. We want to take some time off but we know we will not come back so we are just going to stick with it and hope it gets better. <br /><br />Trav has started his new schedule at work. He is now a Section head which is awesome. So proud of him and all that he has done for our family. He now works the grave yard shift. I have mix feeling about this. Sucks not having him at night to cuddle with and protect me if something happens. But on the bright side Donaven and I have been able to spend so much more time with him. He leaves at 11pm then gets home around 915am the next day. Sleeps most of the day and gets up around 2 or 3 and is up until Donaven goes to bed. So we actually get to have dinner together, watch TV shows and have dinner with our friends and just be together. So when I look at the big picture it seems to work out for the best. Plus it has been pretty consistence on his days off which has been so nice. <br /><br />Last month I was coaching 8th grade C team Volleyball and that was interesting and tons of fun. I really enjoyed getting out there and playing and teaching the girls. It was tough at times but when isn’t life rough. Now that Volleyball is done I am starting my own business. I am really scared but Travis supports me and believes in me so I know everything is going to be ok. I am going to sale Premier Design Jewelry. I am super excited and hope that everything goes well. Along with that I am going to sale watches (the really cute beaded watches I will get a picture and post soon).<br /><br />About our house We LOVE IT. Love having our own space to do whatever to. It is taking a long time to put together. Not going to lie with everything going on I really don't have the time to work on it and make it perfect. So right now it is just thrown together as neat as possible until I have time to work and make it perfect. :) Plus usually what I do Donaven has to go and rip it down and make a mess so what is the point anyways. :)The Baker Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814382742255239761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145378460985394086.post-31286344431136670832010-08-19T16:15:00.001-07:002010-08-20T21:58:44.544-07:00Quick update.....I am really bad at this. I thought that I would have more time to do this. WRONG! My little guy is 8mths. Crazy!!! Time is just going by so quick. He is into everything and when I say everything it really is. He can pull himself up, crawling all over the place. He is a pretty smart little boy. He has two teeth already and more are their way. He has the cutest smile and laugh. Donaven loves his family. He has gone so many places already and he has been such a good boy. <br /><br />About a month ago we went to Denver for a few days and we drove the whole way. (Long trip) The way up was the worst he didn't like being locked down for the whole trip and then way back he was such a trooper. He did great! Slept the whole time and came home and said hi to papa and nana and went to bed for another 5-7 hours. I couldn't believe it. <br /><br />We are still living with my parents. We have been dealing with our house for the past 4 months and we are finally in the last stage. We can see the light. We hope to be in the house before the end of September. Crossing our fingers everything goes well. We are so excited and can’t stand it. It has been a rough road for us. We have thought about just ending the process and starting over or even going back to renting. After praying and thinking about the pro's and cons of everything we have decided to stick it out. So I will keep you updated on the house situation. <br /><br />Well...lets see what else has happened. My brother and sister-in-law have had their baby and she is just beautiful. Her name is Tegan Marie Lang. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNnuFJ4IJvmhvLMWWi4WOkfx-sWWlGE6HZWGU4n5pjqm3HnRmPFmxezFEU1iFQWP-BbVkLsYcndLMmw0RnRqqdKrSyqI-6LiSfYwK98YGOHF_3dSYGSxZw6GkvX0-AvuiZ3ahvwxd2Rys/s1600/teganannoucment3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNnuFJ4IJvmhvLMWWi4WOkfx-sWWlGE6HZWGU4n5pjqm3HnRmPFmxezFEU1iFQWP-BbVkLsYcndLMmw0RnRqqdKrSyqI-6LiSfYwK98YGOHF_3dSYGSxZw6GkvX0-AvuiZ3ahvwxd2Rys/s320/teganannoucment3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507714426120498322" /></a><br /><br />Here are a few pictures of the man that rules our life. :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaRoOsoPzh1uWayOeZyO_2Xp1PyxSlYmUV223YiB1P4jpov6ModzbFwRtaxw8MZeUN8bmp985l4E-odlDXpjA77XSaNn1sLrMHpFce4WoBuZs0OK6C_mJprxjN8oShkUKqYL_fr5Dq-rE/s1600/donaven+8+015.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaRoOsoPzh1uWayOeZyO_2Xp1PyxSlYmUV223YiB1P4jpov6ModzbFwRtaxw8MZeUN8bmp985l4E-odlDXpjA77XSaNn1sLrMHpFce4WoBuZs0OK6C_mJprxjN8oShkUKqYL_fr5Dq-rE/s320/donaven+8+015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507718324235319890" /></a><br />These to pictures we let him feed himself.

Crazy how time goes. I just wanted to show some picture of our handsome little boy. He is so much fun. He is starting to stay up for most of the day and sometimes the night. lol. He is sitting up on his own, rolling all over the place, smiling, laughing, and eating. He has tried some new food once in a while when I become brave and deiced that its OK. :) We have started rice cereal at night with his bottle to help him sleep longer, then we are feeding him baby food at dinner. Since I am trying to get him off me we are going slowly and he seems to like it. He has just grown so much I can't even being to explain.
