PINEWOOD DERBY

last night on monday jaden had his boy scout pinewood derby. we had a good time, jaden had a red car that was really fast. there was a green one that was really fast too but jaden did a great job. it was reallly neat to watch, this guy came in with a big silver chrome track just for the derby for the cars to race on to the finish line. there was also a clock to keep track of the miles the cars did and to keep track of the seconds. and anyone that beat the record high of the seconds won a car trophy but nobody beat the score, but every kid did get a award for their car and their participation in the derby. jaden did a really good job cause he won almost every race but the green car was a little bit faster than his but jaden did get second place and won a trophy like badge for his boy scout uniform for winning second place. it was so cool that he did get second place cause their was only three badges given out for the three winners, so jaden was really happy. i took a video of the whole thing so when i get the video together i will make a copy of it for everyone. then we did take a lot of pictures to so we will get these on our blog soon. mckenzie raced to last night but we had to leave before we watched her cause spencer is really sick and he was getting worse so we had to leave but she called us later when they got home and she was so happy cause she told me that she beat jaden in the race and she was bragging about it. we had a good time and soon you will be able to watch the race. love you all!!

Back on that special day!

Spencers Birth April 27 2004 Today was a wonderful day for daniel and i. We are going to have another boy and its our last. We have been trying for a week now to bring spencer into the world. He just wouldn't come. Our doctor who was dr.cox said that i was dialated to a 2 and the next visit a 3 this baby was on the way but didn't want to come out yet. We got lots of stuff for spencer from everyone. My mother of course bought spencer alot of clothes, and toys and even moved us in her new apartment at pheasant ridge. it was a lovely start for us and spencer in a new home. Spencer had a big room full of toys and crib and tons of boy clothes, and bedding. We were ready to have the baby. well our doctor called us and said that he put us on a waiting list to get induced at the hospital. So everytime the phone rang we were hoping it was the hospital. well on tuesday the 27th the hospital called and told us to come in and that were having a baby today. I have never seen daniel so happy, He literally jumped out of bed and screamed were having our baby and rushed me to the car and drove to the hospital. We called my mother and dad. They said that they will be on their way. I was so excited, spencers coming today. We got upstairs to labor and delivery and they got me all ready for the birth. I was given pitocin, and then the nurse told the doctor to come here, i was scared for a minute cause i wanted to know what was wrong, it was funny i was already in labor when i got there. spencer finally picked a day he wanted to come. I was given the epidural this time and i was in heaven after it kicked in. Everyone said that i was sleeping through the labor until i was ready to push. Spencer didn't come very quickly, it took almost a hour to push him out. I remember daniel and my mother helping me through it all, finally the last push happened and spencer was here. i cried so much. I was so happy to see him finally. daniel was crying to and so were my parents. Spencer was 7lbs 8oz and 21 inches long, he had alot of hair to. he was so beautiful. i was so happy to have him here in my arms finally. i will never forget this day.
