I have 35 minutes until Jaida gets off the bus from her first day of kindergarten. I can't seem to swallow this lump in my throat, and it's been there all day. I never thought this day would come (or at least I never wanted it to come). When I held my newborn baby girl in my arms for the first time, I promised to protect and love her forever. Five years from that moment seamed a lifetime away. And now it's here...and I'm not ready. </div>

1 year is not a very long period of time, but when that year is your child's entire lifetime, it somehow seems far greater and more significant. This past year has been a blessing, a joy, a challenge, and a privilege. Kasen turned 1 in May, and I am amazed at the growth a child can make in that short amount of time.</div>

Kasen, you are a joy to our family and everyone around you. You are "Tute Baby" to Kamden and "Baby Kase" to Jaida. You brighten our days and give us all a reason to crawl around on the floor.

The Discovery space shuttle was recently retired and brought to the Air and Space Museum near our home in Virginia. We were so excited to see it up close. Garret works near the airport where it was brought in. It was piggy-backing another huge aircraft, and he saw it fly by a couple of times. It was a very big deal out here (and maybe all over), so when my brother-in-law was in town for work we stopped off to take a look. It was amazing! I loved the fact that it looked used and worn. Very cool! </div>

There are days where I wonder how I will make it through and then others that I hate to see end. </div>

Since Garret started his job, Saturdays are very precious to us. We took the opportunity at the end of April to picnic at an AMAZING park and were able to ride on a carousel horse, explore the many playground toys, and run races. We all had a blast!</div>

Easter Sunday is one of those things. I love the season and I love the events that it reminds us of. I had the opportunity to sing in a small choir on Easter, and so I was able to be reminded of the events every time I practiced. I am eternally grateful to my Heavenly Father for the blessings in my life, and for the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. I know He lives and I know He loves me and the little ones I am trying very hard to raise.

They are each at such fun ages. </div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jaida has become quite fun to talk to with her questions; tender and caring heart; and perceptive and energetic personality. Bedtime is not my favorite part of the day....(well, I should say, "getting them to bed" is not my favorite part of the day. Once they're in bed I love it!) Jaida has found several ways to stretch the time as much as she can, and before we know it an hour has passed and we're still doing the bedtime routine. I love her dearly, but she knows how to work us over for sure!</div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8pU0YudSxvw/T4hpzJLmQqI/AAAAAAAABqM/tgjsQr1ggFc/s1600/IMG_4664.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8pU0YudSxvw/T4hpzJLmQqI/AAAAAAAABqM/tgjsQr1ggFc/s320/IMG_4664.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730946853187764898" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">They were able to play in snow only a couple of times this year, and so I had to get a snapshot of them in their new snow pants.

It's a milestone that makes me sad, happy, and every emotion in between. Time doesn't stop, and today I wanted nothing more than to hold my Kasen all day, memorize every inch of his face, and tell his little spirit how much he is loved. Thank goodness for pictures. They are the one thing that can capture a single moment in time. I will cherish these forever. </div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MHgykctOLcw/Tr7j68pPVwI/AAAAAAAABZU/hTB11DcNbV8/s1600/IMG_3905.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MHgykctOLcw/Tr7j68pPVwI/AAAAAAAABZU/hTB11DcNbV8/s320/IMG_3905.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674223182384420610" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bWibiJf1jOw/Tr7js__sc5I/AAAAAAAABZI/scG7tA6t-6k/s1600/IMG_4294.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bWibiJf1jOw/Tr7js__sc5I/AAAAAAAABZI/scG7tA6t-6k/s320/IMG_4294.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674222942765740946" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AC4m5G9_6F0/Tr7jhzetK-I/AAAAAAAABY8/O2uI-smXraY/s1600/IMG_4278.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AC4m5G9_6F0/Tr7jhzetK-I/AAAAAAAABY8/O2uI-smXraY/s320/IMG_4278.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674222750427589602" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2Y5SDL-N6aA/Tr7jS7HrelI/AAAAAAAABYw/4JFIEaUokO8/s1600/IMG_4286.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2Y5SDL-N6aA/Tr7jS7HrelI/AAAAAAAABYw/4JFIEaUokO8/s320/IMG_4286.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674222494780455506" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-olBaSdwKGrk/Tr7jHsIBgJI/AAAAAAAABYk/rax5h0lHafM/s1600/IMG_4287.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-olBaSdwKGrk/Tr7jHsIBgJI/AAAAAAAABYk/rax5h0lHafM/s320/IMG_4287.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674222301776806034" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-slddpqEj9Xo/Tr7jCOeZu-I/AAAAAAAABYY/YC4n1WYKoVs/s1600/IMG_4288.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-slddpqEj9Xo/Tr7jCOeZu-I/AAAAAAAABYY/YC4n1WYKoVs/s320/IMG_4288.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674222207918259170" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8rZAFWA5eSc/Tr7i4AW_5-I/AAAAAAAABYM/25YFnhgq9yM/s1600/IMG_4289.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8rZAFWA5eSc/Tr7i4AW_5-I/AAAAAAAABYM/25YFnhgq9yM/s320/IMG_4289.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674222032330418146" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XYiXcq0e9iw/Tr7iHJMuyKI/AAAAAAAABYA/8SNzyD1Vyhg/s1600/IMG_4330.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XYiXcq0e9iw/Tr7iHJMuyKI/AAAAAAAABYA/8SNzyD1Vyhg/s320/IMG_4330.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674221192889682082" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5RMaGAlv1Ak/Tr7h_D6F93I/AAAAAAAABX0/ozdyWdBVwzU/s1600/IMG_4328.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5RMaGAlv1Ak/Tr7h_D6F93I/AAAAAAAABX0/ozdyWdBVwzU/s320/IMG_4328.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674221054030378866" /></a>The Cook Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09867242645703239752noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4483807606871499919.post-74302882139093496622011-09-20T10:52:00.000-07:002011-09-26T12:22:03.394-07:00IT CAME AND WENT<div style="text-align: center;">I LOVE the summer months, and it's always sad to see them come and go. The kids were at such fun ages and just wanted to live outside. Can I just say that Jaida adores her cousins! They have become such good friends, and I wouldn't want it any other way. This picture was taken at the beginning of July at my parent's home. They all decided to run through the sprinklers, but being the ladies that they are, they didn't get too wet. The mother in me wishes I could just freeze time for a little bit and keep these girls sweet, young and innocent. They are growing up way too fast, and I feel like I can't catch my breath. </div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iJoy-aHwexE/TnjjoD8PcgI/AAAAAAAABWo/9LX65Bj9oek/s1600/IMG_3405.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iJoy-aHwexE/TnjjoD8PcgI/AAAAAAAABWo/9LX65Bj9oek/s320/IMG_3405.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654519609555907074" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Kamden is my handsome, quiet, strong, BIG, little man. He loves his daddy, eating, trains, trucks, running, playing with kids (a little too rough sometimes), teasing Jaida, tackling everything, and giving his mom kisses. He tries my patience every day, and sometimes I don't know if I want to hug him or spank him. He is so funny and is aware of being watched. He's not a show-off, but he enjoys making people laugh. His attitude can change so quickly, and I've really had to re-learn how to be a mom to him these last few months. He has such a unique personality, and I hope that I can focus his energy in positive ways. I love this kid so much! </div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vXXKj5isf0M/TnjgKxlhWgI/AAAAAAAABWY/WWHI7pSRj5I/s1600/IMG_3406.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vXXKj5isf0M/TnjgKxlhWgI/AAAAAAAABWY/WWHI7pSRj5I/s320/IMG_3406.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654515807877683714" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Aren't they DARLING!

She is smart, energetic, stubborn, giggly, loving, caring, funny, daring, athletic, girly, clean, mature, creative, and sweet. These are all great qualities, but I'm thinking of one in particular that's really been trying my patience lately. She is THE most stubborn child I have ever met, and I've known my fair share of kids. We don't often butt heads, but when we do, it's an all out fight. If I ask her to do something and it's not her idea, she will fight me even if it's something she's done a hundred times. I've really had to redirect my efforts and come up with creative ways to get her to do what I ask. Don't get me wrong, she's a great girl, but she got fire in her! </div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fRO3jSNtp0g/Tnjbh4wck9I/AAAAAAAABUQ/ss_9D8V-3ww/s1600/IMG_3633.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fRO3jSNtp0g/Tnjbh4wck9I/AAAAAAAABUQ/ss_9D8V-3ww/s320/IMG_3633.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654510707381408722" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I love this pose!</div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pscGnJNEpLA/Tnjba4kKhgI/AAAAAAAABUI/61smsNgnDAI/s1600/IMG_3634.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pscGnJNEpLA/Tnjba4kKhgI/AAAAAAAABUI/61smsNgnDAI/s320/IMG_3634.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654510587070809602" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">After the reunion, we packed a u-haul trailor and moved our little family to Virginia near Washington D.C. so Garret could start his grad school program.

I had taken snapshots but nothing posed or professional. He is such a sweet baby, and I wanted to capture that on camera. I feel much better now that I have these and can always be reminded of how tiny and precious he was. I'm definitely not a professional, but I think they'll do! </div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uTxT9ljPedI/ThSY7ISmZJI/AAAAAAAABPQ/99FvGKKwHZg/s1600/IMG_3246.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uTxT9ljPedI/ThSY7ISmZJI/AAAAAAAABPQ/99FvGKKwHZg/s320/IMG_3246.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626289976097793170" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uc7cgIHGKJo/ThSYRhAlwAI/AAAAAAAABPI/ezgE_y5K24U/s1600/IMG_3239.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uc7cgIHGKJo/ThSYRhAlwAI/AAAAAAAABPI/ezgE_y5K24U/s320/IMG_3239.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626289261178634242" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuFDc0lW_pA/ThSXI3_saOI/AAAAAAAABPA/jW321a8AILM/s1600/IMG_3245_2.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuFDc0lW_pA/ThSXI3_saOI/AAAAAAAABPA/jW321a8AILM/s320/IMG_3245_2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626288013218441442" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UcumEh-jV5E/ThSWRUsIXdI/AAAAAAAABO4/9V6Tv5Ww7BE/s1600/IMG_3251.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UcumEh-jV5E/ThSWRUsIXdI/AAAAAAAABO4/9V6Tv5Ww7BE/s320/IMG_3251.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626287058848341458" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k5Gwsz08v2Y/ThSVa8sqHWI/AAAAAAAABOw/DI7uAnyTQY0/s1600/IMG_3255.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k5Gwsz08v2Y/ThSVa8sqHWI/AAAAAAAABOw/DI7uAnyTQY0/s320/IMG_3255.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626286124695166306" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ajbeKtsYzoo/ThSUhM7R0mI/AAAAAAAABOo/uyuOu84wYGU/s1600/IMG_3277.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ajbeKtsYzoo/ThSUhM7R0mI/AAAAAAAABOo/uyuOu84wYGU/s320/IMG_3277.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626285132619043426" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">In June, Jaida was able to attend a "Princess Dance Camp" with her cousins Abby and Aisha. I was nervous to sign her up because I didn't know how she would do. I don't know what I was worried about because she absolutely loved it! She was so obedient, observant, and sweet. It was probably the cutest thing I had ever seen. I had taught dance to girls her age before, but I never experienced it from a mother's point of view. I was so proud of her for trying everything and minding her teacher so well. It was good for me to see how she responds to someone other than her parents. She attended class every day from Tuesday to Friday and then had a performance on Saturday morning for the parents and families. Garret had been working out of town for the past few weeks, and he wasn't supposed to be back until that next Monday. He was so sad that he was going to miss her first dance performance. Saturday morning was hurried and crazy, and when I pulled up to the studio, I almost didn't see Garret standing there waiting for us. He had driven through the night from North Dakota to Rexburg and made it there with 5 minutes to spare. I couldn't believe he surprised us like that. I have never loved him more than I did at that moment. He truly is an amazing father to that little girl and those little boys.

I cannot wait to see our little son and hold him in my arms. This has been a healthy and, at times, not-so-healthy pregnancy. I have kept this baby in the longest, and maybe that is why my patience is wearing thin. I am definitely the biggest and have gained the most weight with this pregnancy, and, with two other little ones hanging on me, it's been the most uncomfortable one by far. With that being said, I have <b>enjoyed</b> this one the most. The more I have, the more I realize what a miracle it is to have a healthy baby.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In a moment of weakness the other night, and I had a very real impression that what I am doing by bringing another child into this world is what Heavenly Father wants for us. I felt a sense of peace come over me and felt such gratitude for the miracle of being able to carry a child. I am truly thankful for every little kick, jab, and movement, and I will always be grateful for those moments when it's just the two of us awake in the middle of the night. There is nothing like feeling life inside of you. It's truly a sacred thing to be carrying one of our Father's precious children. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here I am at 38 weeks.</div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ypa8YZb1xXc/TcGI0f4_kVI/AAAAAAAABIs/7ncgKTTeH3k/s1600/IMG_3065.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ypa8YZb1xXc/TcGI0f4_kVI/AAAAAAAABIs/7ncgKTTeH3k/s320/IMG_3065.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602909846920728914" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I am scheduled to have another c-section on <b>Thursday, May 12th</b>.

Since Jaida's birthday, at least one person has been horribly sick. First, it was Jaida with the flu and then the herpes virus. I'm sure she got it from me when I had a cold sore and she had a weak immune system. We took her to the doctor because her gums were red and she had a sore on her lip. He said that the first time they get the virus, it can be very <i><b>bad</b></i>...fever, sores in their mouth, bleeding gums, and sore throat. Basically <b>awful</b> stuff. Within a few days she started feeling a little better, and we were able to go outside for a few minutes to ride her new bike. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That happy time was short-lived because within a day or so, Kamden got it....<b>but 10 times worse</b>. He has been sick for a week now...horrible fever, won't eat anything, won't sleep, drools everywhere, and won't stop crying. Oh, and did I mention that Garret has it as well...along with strep throat! He couldn't get out of bed and has missed work all week. Poor guy. I've never seen him so sick. Believe me when I say that I am <b>completely worn out</b>! Being 31 weeks pregnant, I have not been able to rest like I need to, and I'm starting to shut down. My body is falling apart...I'm having contractions, horrible pains in my lower abdomen, sharp pain down below, and it feels as if my pelvis is splitting in two. I finally stopped praying that my family would get better and started to pray that my body will be able to handle this stress. It has been a huge trial for me and has humbled me very much. I have definitely realized one thing...I am nothing without the help of my Heavenly Father. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This morning Kamden <b>ate his oatmeal! </b>I believe I had tears in my eyes...<b>tears of joy</b> for once. The thought came to me as if from my loving Father, "this too shall pass." Maybe, just maybe, we're all on the mend!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wXAp7TJ6P1M/TYTkAyFgpbI/AAAAAAAABIk/78Ur1Mfs72A/s1600/IMG_3006.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wXAp7TJ6P1M/TYTkAyFgpbI/AAAAAAAABIk/78Ur1Mfs72A/s320/IMG_3006.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585840139942274482" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R352RxMCcNw/TYTjRyPyNJI/AAAAAAAABIc/p-3PsdgsH7k/s1600/IMG_3007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R352RxMCcNw/TYTjRyPyNJI/AAAAAAAABIc/p-3PsdgsH7k/s320/IMG_3007.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585839332531516562" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">A nice distraction...<b>DISHES</b>!

I remember it VERY WELL! It was the day that Jaida found a pair of sewing scissors and decided to cut her own hair....a very traumatic day for both of us! We were at Garret's parent's home and had invited some friends to eat and watch the game with us. Jaida was running around having fun with her cousins and friends so I didn't worry too much about her. I was playing catch with Kamden downstairs, and I suddenly had a feeling to check on Jaida. <b>I DIDN'T LISTEN!</b> Within the next five minutes, my niece Avery came down and said the words that no mother wants to hear, "Jaida's cutting her hair!" So Garret and I searched all over the house and couldn't find her. She was hiding! And then I saw them...the curly golden locks on the floor. If I'm not mistaken, I <i><b>screamed</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"> and said a few choice words! Garret had to calm me down, because all I could think was </span>three years of hair growth is laying on the floor!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I had to get a shot of her before I attempted to fix it.

I don't know why, but it has been a very emotional thing for me. I can no longer see the same doc that delivered my other two babies, and finding someone else I can trust has been quite the process. I was 19 weeks along by the time I made an appointment. They saw me within the next few days, and by then I thought I was 20 weeks. I loved the staff and have been very at ease about my decision! It seems silly, but it's a huge weight off my shoulders. They took me in for an ultrasound first thing, and I was certain they would confirm my suspicions. I have been positive that there was a little girl in there, but when I saw that little face, I knew it was a <i>BOY</i>. Sure enough, more pictures confirmed it. I am absolutely in love with this little guy and so thrilled that Kam will have a brother so close in age. Jaida is coming to grips with the idea, after telling me for months that she was having a sister. I know she will just adore him when he comes out.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> I love this 3-D Picture of him with his little knees up by his face.

Jaida could not believe how big the horses were and kept saying, "that's my favorite." We went to the horse pulling show, and she talked about that for days.

You can thank my beautiful mother and I for the amazing win! </div>The Cook Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09867242645703239752noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4483807606871499919.post-70226708179657506282010-08-31T09:38:00.000-07:002010-09-01T11:02:04.409-07:00Kamden's 1st Birthday!<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">This past year has been one of the sweetest of my life. These 2 little ones have given me so much happiness and joy. Don't get me wrong, they can be a handful, but they teach me things I would never have learned otherwise. They have been beautiful little reminders of why we are here on this earth...to learn to love as our Heavenly Father loves. Kamden, with his sweet and easy going personality, has turned 1. He has been an absolute angel. I might be in for a rude awakening when he gets a little older, but for now he is a mother's dream. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">THINGS HE LOVES:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-Jaida</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', serif;">-Being wherever Jaida is</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', serif;">-Doing whatever Jaida is doing</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-crawling (as fast as he can)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-Laughing</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-Playing with balls</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-throwing (everything)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-standing</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-walking around the furniture</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-eating</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-drinking</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-opening cupboards</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-emptying those cupboards</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-computer</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-pushing buttons</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-music</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-dancing to that music</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-bath time</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-Daddy</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">-smiling</span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtDl94oCWpA/TH6EeUfnMOI/AAAAAAAAA0U/__v0f_9OVII/s1600/IMG_1852.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtDl94oCWpA/TH6EeUfnMOI/AAAAAAAAA0U/__v0f_9OVII/s320/IMG_1852.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511988650380308706" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Birthday morning with Daddy</span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtDl94oCWpA/TH6DpY9wsoI/AAAAAAAAA0M/JvvIWvRODwU/s1600/IMG_1853.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtDl94oCWpA/TH6DpY9wsoI/AAAAAAAAA0M/JvvIWvRODwU/s320/IMG_1853.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511987741047435906" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">We had a fun birthday party with the some of the family members that were close.

I literally can't kiss him enough!</span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtDl94oCWpA/TCzLPgkMm1I/AAAAAAAAAtU/_fZZKT_ko9I/s1600/IMG_1588.JPG"><img style="display:block;

She is turning into such a little girl. She loves getting her nails painted, brushing MY hair, and doing things herself. She's a good helper and loves her brother. She loves nursery and going anywhere with daddy. She has been such a daddy's girl lately. I don't think Garret minds one bit. I love to see them interact with each other. She brings so much joy to our family.
