Cousin Pictures
Every year, we make a photo tie for my dad for Father's Day. This is our little photo shoot of trying to get a good shot. It was difficult. And it's obivously not professional...I took them. The first one is the one we used.
Welcome Odin "Baby Shower"
The kids at the "kids table." Haha.
Some fantastic pictures of Ethan
Averson and yaya. Yes, she was smelling his feet. My maternal grandmother. Loves him, but who doesn't?
Baby Papa
My big sister calls Averson "Baby Papa." She says he looks just like him. Papa is my dad. Here they are sleeping together. So cute!

Abbie's Graduation Party
Abbie, my longest friend...I have known her since I was a "wee-babe." Well, she just graduated from Sac State in journalism. She is interning with the Rivercats right now and does articles, and some interviews. She also gets to go in the boys locker room! You can see articles from her..Abbie Ellis. pretty cool!
Emery played with her cousins Shanna and Tiffany there. She rarely gets to see these cousins, so they had fun. (They are actually MY cousins, but thats ok)
Me and Abs...ignore my red eye. I was suffering from pretty bad allergies this night. I hate this picture of me, but it's the only one of us together from that night...and I'm not too proud.
Also, Abbie meeting Avi for the first time. She loves him. Who doesn't?

Emery and Emerson
Carmel was taking her boys to the park across the street for pizza dinner and playing. She called to invite me, which was wonderful because Chris was working late and I was bored! It was fun to watch our kids play together and catch up.

New Camera -- My Family
On Monday, I got my late Mother's Day Gift. A Beautiful Digital Camera with a replaceable lens. I'm no photo major, but I love taking pictures, and good quality pictures. It was a wonderful gift, and I enjoyed playing around with it so much yesterday. I took lots of pictures of Drill practice, drill try out clinics, the awards banquet, and my family. Here are a few pictures that I took.
Here is my handsome son Averson. He is 2 1/2 weeks old here. I was holding him when I took the picture myself, which is why it is a weird angle.
This is Emery at the Drill Awards Banquet, playing with the confetti stuff from the table with her Auntie. She is gorgeous. This picture reminds me of a cat playing with string. But cuter.
My mother, Mamo with her grandson Avi. I was going to say "newest" grandson, but it's not true. Avi was born May 1st, but my sister-in-law delivered her Odin on May 10th. I absolutely love this picture.
This is probably my favorite photo I have taken so far in regards to the actual photo. This is Vincint, Odin's big brother, and Raigne's little brother. My big brother's little boy.
Christopher laughed when he saw this picture and said she looks just like me. What do you think? Oh man, she is so gorgeous.

Drill Team Awards Banquet
It's been a roller coaster ride coaching the Drill Team this year. But at the end of things, I really enjoyed all of the girls and the performances, and working with Val. I loved seeing my sister so much, and having so many excuses to be in Elk Grove with my mom. Last night was the Awards Banquet, where we pass out team trophies, awards, and some other things and of course, eat! I got 2 wonderful thank you cards. I'm excited for next year, but so sad that this year is over!
These are 3 of my 5 graduating seniors: Alie, Kelsey, and Brittany. They were all first year members, but super enthusiastic, talented, and supportive. I'm going to miss them!
Sammi, Emery, and my parents. She is showing off all that she received that night. I am so proud of her. She is moving to Utah in a few months, and I'm going to miss her.
Team picture. Me trying to hang on to Emery. The other coach, Valerie is far left. Love working with her. She is so much fun. My boo.

Averson's Birth Story
Short Story: (for boys)
Averson Michael was due April 30th, but decided to enter the world on May 1st. It was a quick but hard labor. He was a huge baby, 9 pounds, 9 ounces...but that was expected. He was 21 inches long and was born at 4:44am.
Long Story: (for girls)
I had no idea what to expect even though I have a child already. I was induced 8 days late with Emery, so I didn't know exactly what it would be like to go into labor on my own. I didn't know how difficult it would be, or how fast it would be without the induction. I was semi-comfortable with my pregnancy until about 36 weeks. All of a sudden, I was just done. I kept praying that my water would break, because then I would get to go straight to Labor and Delivery without having to time contractions and all that stuff.
At my 37 week appointment, I was 1 and 30%. At my 38 week, I was 2 and 70%. The contractions started coming more frequently and more uncomfortablly. So I was extremely disappointed when at my 39 week, I was STILL 2 and 70%. At my 40 week appointmentment, on my due date, I was a 3 and 70%. The doctor stripped my membranes. I didn't think it would do anything, since it didn't for my first pregnancy but I went for it anyways. Just a few seconds of being uncomfortable was worth the chance of not being pregnant anymore.
A few hours later, my contractions actually started hurting. I had so many contractions this entire pregnancy, but they didn't hurt until now. Sometimes they were fairly close together. But they were inconsistent, and I could mostly still walk and talk through them. I really thought I was going to go into labor that night (Friday). I was having contractions, but didn't want to sit around hoping, so Christopher and I met Erick and Amelia at Babies R Us. I bought my little Avi a baby book. Here in Folsom it's on a shopping strip, so we walked down the strip into stores like Old Navy and Home Depot. A little bit of stores for the girls, and some for the boys. Then we went to Coldstone.
They have a new flavor. Oreo Creme Filling Ice cream. I got it with a brownie. YUMMMMM. AND, I just remembered I have some left in the freezer. Can you hold on for a second?.....
Great. The moment I open the freezer and pull this sucker out, Emery walks down. Now I have to share. I'm so selfish...but im sharing anyways.
So I thought the walking would put me into active labor, and it didn't. Came home, watched a lot of TV, went to bed at about 11:30. I was still having contractions, but not bad enough to go to the hospital. I figured if it was real, it would wake me up.
It did. 2:37 is the time I first remember from looking at the clock. They were 3 minutes apart, and hurting a lot. I was 95% sure I was in labor. After only 15 minutes I called labor and delivery. The nurse told me to wait another half an hour to make sure they didn't go away. So I hopped in the shower, and it was about a half hour shower. They got worse. As soon as I got out, I told Chris to have Amelia come over. She came right over to watch Emery, since Erick was already home with Mason. While she was coming home, I got dressed and Christopher got stuff ready. We went to the hospital. UC Davis on Stockton Blvd. Not too far, but WAY TOO FAR when in labor. My contractions were very close together and lasted for a while (I wasn't timing) but I only had at most a minute break.
Contractions in the car are not fun. My arm is sore, and I think its from holding on to my seatbelt and that safety bar thing in the car during my contractions. As soon as I got to the hospital (we think it was about 4:00am but we were not looking at the clock), they admitted me to a room and tried to take a urine sample and temperature. My contractions would not allow me to do either of these things. I told them I felt like I was ready to deliver right then. They checked me and I was an 8. So they moved me from triage to a birthing suite.
I was BEGGING for an epidural. I got one with Emery when I was like a 4 or 5, before they broke my water. The nurses told me that if they broke my water, I would be pretty much ready to deliver....OR they could try to find the anesthesiologist to give me an epidural. Even though I was dying of pain, I was ready to be done so I told them to just break my water.
Breaking my water shot me straight to a 9.5. They waited a few contractions for me to be a 10, but it wasn't going. The hardest part was not being able to push, because it was SO hard for me to not push. I was begging them to let me push. So they tried to (and this is why this is the girl's version) push the cervix around while I was pushing. It went, but then went back to a 9.5. But, I was begging so they gave in. And when I started pushing they had to push the cervix around. I have no idea how long I was pushing. It hurt like heck! I had told some of my drill team girls that it's not like the movies where the mothers-to-be are screaming, but I was wrong! I thought that my epidural with Emery didn't do much, but I guess I was wrong about that too.
He was born at 4:44am. I don't know how long I pushed, but I had only been awake for about 2 hours and only at the hospital for about 45 minutes. And no epidural. Which even though was not really by choice, I still think is pretty cool. I'm pretty proud of myself.
His APGAR scores were 8 and 9 for color. He has super dark black hair and his skin is pretty dark too. Doesn't look like my baby, but I know he is. I felt it. He barely cries, it's pretty awesome.
So, he was 9 pounds, 9 ounces, 21 inches long. Thats 1 oz and 1/4" bigger than Emery was when she was born. He doesn't look bigger to me though. Emery had chipmunk cheeks and thick thighs. Avi doesn't really. Emery totally loves her baby. She likes to hold him (for about 15 seconds) and gives him lots of kisses.
It is great to be done with the pregnancy and to have him here with our family. Chris has a week off work to help us adjust, especially with Emery. She loves him, but it's still hard on her.
Any questions? Just ask!

My Big Girl
I updated on the little peanut, and thought I should update on my big girl too. She went to the doctors for a well child check up 1 week ago. She is far behind on her check ups, so even though she is 17 months old, this was her 15 month check up.
She weighs 28 pounds even, 88th percentile.
She is 33 1/2" tall, 97th percentile.
Big girl, yes. <3 But proportionate. She has 16 teeth right now, 8 on top and 8 on bottom.
At her appointment, the doctor asked me how many words she said. I wasn't sure, so when I left I started gathering a list of the words she said. She has quite the vocabulary. I think I've compiled a fairly accurate list, although I may be missing a few.
Words she says that are understandable and she says on her own:
Yes
Uh-huh
No
More
Please
Thank You
Mommy
Daddy
Mamo
Outside
Doggy
Eyes
Nose (mose)
Ice
Baby
Book
Toes
Papa
Shoes
Cheese
Banana (ana)
Knock Knock (mock mock)
Shh
Duck
Up
This
Two
Oh no! (oh mo!)
Uh oh!
Bow
Bless you [one of my favorites ever!]
Garbage (gar-gar)
Sit
Hi
Bye
Ow
Ball
Mmmm
Hot
Words she says on her own and I understand, but maybe you couldn't:
Mason
Ears
Socks
Bottle
Head
Milk
Amen
Bath
Diaper
All done
All gone
One
Twinkle Twinkle
Excuse Me
I love you
I see you
Words she knows and repeats very well:
Night night
Eggs
A B C D
Whoa
Elbow
Juice
Down
Knees
Words she knows and repeats, but arent so easy to understand:
Amelia
Vincint
Naptime
The end
Brother
Water
Bird
Cat
She also knows what these animals say:
Dog
Cat
Elephant
Fish
Duck
She can also point to all of these body parts:
Eyes
Ears
Nose
Mouth
Tongue
Teeth
Toes
Fingers
Head
Hair
We are working on:
Shoulders
Elbows
Knees
I don't know if any of you care about this, but it's mostly for my record anyways.

I realized that before I just wrote that blog entry on the house, I haven't blogged since November!! That is crazy.
The reason is because I usually blog around my pictures. I like to blog to explain what has been going on. I only remember what has been going on and have proof of it from my camera. And it broke several months ago. We are getting ready to buy a new one, and for the last week I have been borrowing my mothers, so I should have updates soon.
But for those of you that catch up on my life through my blog only, I am still due April 30. It's a boy! He does not yet have a name. Christopher and I are having a hard time choosing a name. On Friday, I will be 34 weeks. It is exciting.
I will update more soon!

Around the House
Finally things are happening around the house. We moved in to our cozy little townhouse on August 29th. Not much has happened since then. My poor husband has been so busy. And when he's not busy, he's tired from always being busy.
Last night we finally switched out the dishwasher. Our motivation was that the "new" dishwasher (actually a hand-me-down) was sitting in our backyard. We got a letter from the HOA that we needed to clean out our backyard by Wednesday. Since it's not much of a mess, we assumed they meant the dishwasher. So it happened. YAY! And the old one Christopher loaded in his truck and dropped off at Lowe's. We switched from a black one to white, so we now have all matching appliances in the kitchen.
Also, Saturday night, Erick and Amelia came over after we went out to dinner. Erick helped Christopher move around the kid's bedroom and put our new IKEA dresser up there. So exciting. So we loaded up Emery's old dresser (which actually belongs to my parents) and took it to my parent's house on Sunday.
There is still a lot to do. The ceiling has to be fixed where the shower was leaking months ago, the texture on the ceiling is not yet completely done, the paint needs to be finished in the bathroom, dining room and entry, and bedroom. Paint needs to be started in the kitchen, stairway, upstairs hallway, and upstairs bathroom. Our room needs to be moved around once the paint is done. And the fridge needs to get settled in to where it belongs--it is currently sticking out of it's little area in the kitchen due to the fact that it is too big for the space.
But, we are on our way...

So, if you still don't know then you are REALLY out of the loop...sorry. But, I am pregnant! I am 18 weeks right now...due April 30th. I find out one week from today (next Wednesday) the gender and I'm so excited!!
Do you think it's a boy or a girl?

Emery Says...
I've been slacking on this blog a lot, just like many of my friends. I wanted to share some of the cute things Em has been doing lately, and all the things that she says....
Emery Says....(get it? like Simon Says...)
Hi
Hello
Bye-Bye
Mama
Dada
I love you
I see you (when looking through an object with a hole)
I did it
Please
Thank You

Vincint (It's her cousin...she attempted it once, but it was very hard to hear!)
I took Emery in today because she hasnt been sleeping well. She weighed 25 pounds, 8 ounces. She is currently 13 months old. We finally got her big girl car seat from FedEx today. She had still been using her infant car seat, because we haven't had money for the upgrade yet. She loves it, and I love being able to see her from the driver seat.
She's kind of weaning herself from her pacifier. Doctor said that is very unusual. But, we are glad that it's going to make that easier on us as parents. She is actually in bed right now, without one at all for the first night since she started using it. And, she hasn't been sleeping well. Doctor said nothing is wrong with her, not even her teeth. I kind of lost count, but I think she has eleven? But, they are all already out so that isn't keeping her up. Dr said maybe too much TV? (ooopps...feel like a bad mom after that one). She said toddlers get nightmares even from cartoons, and to be completely honest...she watches more than just cartoons. So, I am going to limit TV for her, which means also for me (which is good) and start holding off on the CSI's and NCIS's until after she is in bed. Hopefully tonight is a new night, and she starts sleeping great again :)
Does anyone still read my blog? Sometimes I don't know what to write about because I feel like people will be bored with Em's simple milestones. What should I write about?
