s and feel the spirit of god in our home now writing this has taken up more time than i planned right now the toddler is asleep the baby is asleep and the pre schooler is watching a movie the oldest two are at friends so i think the best use of my time right now would be to take a nap night night posted by annie at 2 29 pm 4 comments sunday september 01 2013 back to school ring the bell i don t think there has ever been a mommy as happy as i am that school started i love my kids i love summer we had a fun filled busy summer the kids did swim team and tennis lessons we had a birthday party bash for lia belle a baby shower for my sister and a baptism chad and i took a trip to monteray ca for our 13th wedding anniversary and we started the summer off in jun with a family vacay to the oregon coast in the middle of this we had my sister s family visiting from omaha a visit from my sister who lives in kentucky my parents came from mo my cousin from wisconsin and another sister dropped by for a short visit all the way from north carolina we took the kids to water parks hikes in the mountains my sister took the oldest two boating with her friends everything was so fun all our guests left on august 10th and we considered taking the kids to the tetons for one final weekend fling but i was too tired i said goodbye to my family and then i promptly went to my room and didn t really come out for 2 days i was after all 32 weeks pregnant considering all this activity went on during a pregnancy i think i deserved a rest and a medal so my body was craving rest and relaxation and a schedule the start of school has brought me the order and rest my body needs right now all the kids started a new school this year previously they had been attending a private school but due to adding a fifth child to our family and a few other factors we decided to switch them to the public school that is 2 minutes away the private school was a good 20 minute drive each way we have heard nothing but wonderful things from neighbors and friends about our new school understandably the kids have been a little worried about starting a new school and getting accustomed to a new environment but the past tow weeks have shown me how adaptable and easy going my kids actually are whew phoebe started kindergarten half day afternoon she plays with felicity all morning i feed them lunch then take phoebe school then i come home and lay felicity down for her nap then i lay myself down for my nap and we have a glorious 3 hour nap before it s time to go and gather all the kids from school maybe in a few months i can do something productive while felicity sleeps but for now i am being productive by taking a nap and growing a baby phoebe was a little nervous but she did great every day the kindergarteners line up outside until their teacher opens the door at the exact time the first day i joined all the other moms by parking my car walking her over to the line up and waiting with her the second day i pulled up right on time and gave her a kiss in the car and told her to go on in i thought other parents would be doing that too but no i was the only one i wondered for how long all the moms were going to keep parking their cars and walking the kids to the waiting area and waiting with them well they did it every day this first week of school chad and i decided that all the kids in her class must be the first children in their family i wonder how it will go next week poor phoebe has to face her nerves overcome them herself and jump out of the car with out her mama waddling her to the door everyday i hope she won t be in therapy for that when she s older i also hope the other moms keep up the hovering over their kids so that the path where i pull up doesn t get crowded with traffic here are the big kids on their first day they were a little nervous but they held it together jacob playing it soooo cool he knows a lot of kids and has made a lot of friends lia belle was so happy that her friend from church is in her class they both like their teachers and liking some of the things that they were previously nervous about i am liking the two minute drive the hot lunch option on days i can t pull a lunch together and my uninterrupted nap time it is all about me after all i love these kids so much they are the joy of my life it is so wonderful to watch my kids grow and learn i am so proud of them posted by annie at 2 01 pm 2 comments friday august 16 2013 its great to be 8 lia belle turned 8 on august 4th and also was baptized that evening it was such a special day with both sides of our family there a rare occasion to have aunts uncles cousins and grandparents from both sides lia belle was having such a wonderful day didn t this picture of my cute girls turn out so great we love our little belle she is such a sweet kind thoughtful caring child she always asks me such insightful and wonderful questions about the gospel in her efforts to understand and she quickly grasps meaning and how to apply christ s teachings to her life she has a strong desire to do what is right and to keep the commandments i feel so lucky and blessed to be her mom gammy gave a talk at the baptism and she made the analogy of being like a flower that always keeps her face to the sun a flower will follow the sun all day long just as we should follow the son all day long and always look to him for light her birthday cake ended up being very appropriate what a beautiful day posted by annie at 9 28 am 1 comment tuesday july 09 2013 american girl tea party birthday my lia belle is turning 8 this year her birthday is not for four more weeks but because of scheduling and my advancing pregnancy we decided to have her party sooner she wanted to have a tea party with her american girl dolls so i searched pinterest and the internet and i found some great ideas i thought i would blog about how our party went down to contribute to the pool of ideas out there this was such a fun party we started off by searching the thrift stores for tea cups and plates i supplemented the table ware with spoons borrowed from grandma and a few of my own plates the place names double as the thank you cards i found the cute shabby chic note cards and name tags on the favor bags below at michaels in their dollar bins i went so far as to make party hats for the dolls i found the paper at michaels and the template for the party hats at www make it do com another resource for a fun doll party the activities besides tea time were making bracelets and painting a pictures frame all supplies came from micheals i didn t worry too much about all the left over beads since i have three more girls coming up phoebe is already dreaming of her american girl tea party when she turns 8 these darling mini cupcakes were a ridiculous expense but i couldn t resist their cute cheerful festive look they are from the sweet tooth fairy and are extremely delicious i m sure they could be made at home if you have a mini cupcake pan which i don t strawberries were a last minute idea i had bought the strawberries and found a stray bag of white chocolate chips so i decided it wouldn t be that hard to dip the strawberries well it wasn t hard for me considering my sister took over this task also on the menu were little turkey sandwhiches and cocktail hotdogs wrapped in crescent roll dough i took the time the night before to make little flags for the sandwhiches when the guest walked in the door we gave each doll a party hat and took a picture with the birthday girl as soon as they arrived i sent my mom and sister off to targets 1 hour photo center to order the pictures with the birthday girl these pictures went home in the frames the girls painted the dolls all had sat down to their tea party while the girls went upstairs to do paint when they were done painting we came down to tea phoebe is demonstrating the proper way to hold your tea cup with you pinky pointing out lia belle is having so much fun big brother was recruited to be the butler he actually had a lot of fun serving the girls their tea our tea was actually apple juice or lemonade jacob even served tea to the dolls i ll bribe him with this picture someday some of the finished frames after tea time the girls made their bracelets for themselves and their dolls the entire group they all seemed to have so much fun even i had fun maybe i went a little over the top however i don t do a party like this every year for each child they get a party like this when they turn 5 and 8 other than that it is cake and icecream with family and maybe an activity with 2 or 3 friends one thing i learned at this party is it really helps to have a teenager help out my 14 yr old niece was here with me she helped me decorate she gave me tips on tea party fun and proper tea party settings eden also helped the girls with their crafts while i was preparing food in the kitchen thank you eden this was a fun party and i actually hope phoebe will still want to have this party when she turns 8 i learned that i don t need to buy expensive cupcakes the girls don t care i don t need to hotglue flags onto toothpicks i only burned my fingers and the girls don t really care i also learned that girls parties are a lot more calm than an 8 yr old boys star wars party happy birthday lia belle i love you so much posted by annie at 8 23 am 3 comments sunday june 16 2013 happy fathers day chad is the best dad these pictures just show all the wonderful things he does for his kids he loves them so much and loves to spend time with them he is a great example to jacob showing him how to be an honorable man and he shows his daughters how special they are and what kind of a man they should look for in a husband posted by annie at 1 39 pm no comments thursday june 13 2013 song for the fifth child i haven t announced this on my blog yet because if you read this blog you probably already know i am having another baby girl in october we are really excited and a little nervous about adding another sweet little person to our family we just returned from our summer family vacation to the oregon coast we got a lot of looks as people saw me obviously pregnant with four other little ones trailing behind we also got a lot of comments i ve been kind of sheltered from that in utah people here generally have larger families than in other states my neighbors have ten another neighbor has five a few years ago we attended my grandfathers funeral the year after that my grandmother passed away at both of the funerals i was in awe at the legacy they left behind 3 children who loved them deeply 9 grandchildren who will miss them more than words not to mention the great grandchildren that maybe did not know them as well but who will grow up hearing stories of love and respect i decided at their funeral that your children are the only important thing you leave behind when you die money doesn t matter a fancy home a superstar career doesn t even compare to the love of your children your career won t miss you when your gone your home will go to the next buyer who will change it and erase all evidence that you ever lived there your money will go to someone else your children will remember you cherish your memories and pass on the life lessons you taught them they will talk about you to their children your influence on them will be passed on to the next generation they will visit your grave and await longingly for the day they can see you again in heaven i know that sounds kind of depressing to think about dying while i m talking about adding another life to my family anyhow these thoughts and experiences had a large bearing on my mind we couldn t quite be settled with the fact that our family was complete with 4 children it just didn t feel right i am a mother that is what i am here to do chad is a father it s the greatest joy to him i love being a mother as challenging frustrating exhausting as it is it is also rewarding fulfilling fun and exciting i am so excited and proud when my children learn a new skill when they take another step towards independence and self discovery they make me laugh and they challenge my mind i don t know half of the answers to all the crazy questions they throw at me thank you google for helping me out i love how the big kids love and get so much joy out of the baby they get to see the fun it is to watch someone learn and grow i love how the baby watches the big kids every move how she follows them around and joins in their play i love how they teach each other i don t like how i feel from media strangers and even people i know that i am crazy or don t you know how babies get here i won t judge you for the size of your family you don t judge me i have friends with 7 kids 6 kids lots of friends with 5 kids 4 kids 3 kids 2 and 1 i know people who have kids with disabilities friends who almost lost their life trying to get the one miracle baby they have friends who desperately want kids and for some reason can t i don t know the inner workings of their hearts of their experiences that have led them to the decisions they have made i just hope and pray that my friends will be happy and that god will bless them with the family that is just right for them when we were first married and starting our family i had three miscarriages they were devastating i thought that maybe i would never have children i worried that the dream i had planned on of being a mother would never be and i would have to start figuring out what i was supposed to do with my life instead i was very worried it was a very hard few years then jacob came a long to me he was a miracle each child after has been a miracle with each child chad and i have been blessed with the needed capacity to care for love and nurture our growing family it makes me sad that the joy of this sweet little new life could be lost to criticism and dismay that this baby may not be greeted with congratulations what a precious baby because she is a 5th child instead of the 1st i love newborns i love the joy peace and love they bring to a home everyone is kinder softer sweeter when a newborn is around as if everyone can feel the remnant of heaven a baby brings with her my aunt gave my mother a cross stitched picture when my sister the fifth child was born it has a mother rocking a baby and a poem that is titled a song for the fifth child i have always remembered this little poem and i have in my possession this actual cross stitch which will be re framed and hung up soon this is the poem as i remember it cleaning and scrubbing can wait for tomorrow for babies grow up we ve learned to our sorrow so settle down cobwebs dust go to sleep i m rocking my baby and babies don t keep and here it is in it s entirety song for a fifth child by ruth hulburt hamilton 1921 mother oh mother come shake out your cloth empty the
