they look up to her so much congrats niah on your baptism mom and dad are so proud of you posted by nat at 8 42 pm 1 comment sunday december 23 2012 2012 mason family newsletter our lives have been turned upside down now that we have four kids there is so much to do in a day and sadly blogging has been put at the bottom of the list i ll admit life with four has been hard i am exhausted and overwhelmed i m in survival mode and just take one day at a time i can t get anything done around here taking care of the kids especially the baby is all i get done everything else has just had to wait my house is a disaster i keep forgetting things i hate being forgetful and flaky laundry piles up faster than i can get it washed and put away bryan is busy with work and my church calling is overwhelming right now trying to run primary with a baby is a whole new experience my friend sent me a funny video of jim gaffigan hope that s his name i can t remember for sure and he puts it perfectly just imagine you re drowning and then someone hands you a baby that about sums it up for me at the end of the day i know taking care of the kids is the most important and other things will just have to wait most of the time i feel frustrated and overwhelmed with life but there have been many moments when i have felt so grateful and blessed to be a mother and wife those moments are the ones i hang on to and they get me through i thought that since it s christmas time and i didn t get a newsletter out with our christmas cards i would write an update here so that friends and family can know what we are up to bryan is halfway done with his third year of residency he has been busy to put it nicely it seems that the hospital always gets slammed when he s working the nurses and other residents have even teased him about it he started moonlighting at a nearby er in august this past summer he was called to be a temple worker in chicago so he goes on the 2nd and 4th saturdays it s almost a three hour drive so it makes for a long day he enjoys it though and we have been blessed because of his sacrifice he is also serving as 1st counselor in the young mens he s a busy guy he accepted a job in twin falls id we will be moving there in july niah will be turning eight in january and she is so excited to get baptized she is in 2nd grade and is a wonderful student she enjoys reading breakdancing being with friends and helping with the baby i can t believe how grown up she is chloe will be six in february she is our spunky kid she has lots of personality and keeps us laughing she is in kindergarten and is a bit of a teacher s pet she is very good at following rules and she gets very worried about getting in trouble which has never happened nor do i think it ever

duke we are now a family of six bridger duke joined our family on november 4th at 1 31 a m he was 7 lbs 4 ozs and 20 inches long his labor and birth went so fast saturday was a normal day we did chores played and just had a day at home bryan had been at a life support class all day so when he got home the girls and i decided to run to sam s club and then go get pedicures and manicures during my pedicure i turned on the massage chair and joked with the girls that i was going to shake the baby out well on the way home at about 6 50 pm i had my first contraction they kept coming and they were pretty painful already after timing them for a couple of hours and trying to get the kids down to bed i decided it was time to head to the hospital thankfully our friends the beck s helped us with the kids and i knew they were in good hands we got to the hospital at 10 15 at 10 30 they checked me and i was still only a 2 and 50 effaced i had been that for a couple of weeks now i was so sad i felt like crying i was sure they were going to send me home and i would have to fight them and say no i really am in labor this is too painful to be a false alarm the baby s heart rate dropped a couple of times during some contractions so they decided to keep me instead of make me walk the halls phew that was a relief an hour later the doctor checked me again and i was a 4 and 90 effaced i was so happy to be progressing they admitted me and i told them before i even got to the room that yes i would like an epidural and asap the anesthesiologist got in the room and was done with my epidural by 12 45 luckily he was quick and got it on the first try sitting up holding still during a contraction for the epidural is really the worst part of labor the doctor checked me again and i was a 7 and 100 effaced she then broke my water i was able to enjoy the epidural for about twenty minutes then it started to wear off by this point i was feeling pressure and like i was ready to push i m not sure but i think it was around 1 15 or 1 20 sure enough i was complete and ready to go i pushed through two contractions feeling quite a bit of pain and then bridger was born he had meconium in the water but he came out crying and screaming so the pediatric team didn t even have to take him i got to hold him right away here are the first few minutes after his birth it is all kind of a blur because he came so fast when he came out the cord was wrapped around his neck twice and once around his arm i m glad he came out safe and sound and that he is healthy the kids came the next morning with bryan to meet their new brother i think they are all in love they are so sweet with him after being in the hospital room for a while i looked at benny and he was all teary eyed and wiping his eyes with the saddest face on i asked him what was wrong and he said i don t want to name him bridger i want him to be named prince caspian i tried so hard to hold in my laughter but it was not possible we talked for a minute and benny came to the conclusion that when he gets older we can call him prince caspian bridger s first bath the girls were fascinated all ready to go home from the hospital he looks so little in his carseat benny chillin on the bed watching disney channel while we get ready to load up and head out it was election day the day i went home so we made a quick stop at the polls so i could vote the four kids when and how did i get four kids where have the last ten years gone crazy family of six that s a lot of people i am so proud to be a mom to the most beautiful children there are every time i have a baby i am overwhelmed at how precious they are and that heavenly father has entrusted me with his sweet children i am truly so blessed i am also very thankful for my mom who is here for two weeks to help us out i would be dying without her and in bryan s words we would all be very cranky so true welcome to the family little bridger we love you very much and are so happy you re here posted by nat at 3 31 pm 8 comments tuesday october 23 2012 weekend with friends we were lucky enough to see some of our best friends this past weekend the mickelsens and the randalls came to our house so the boys could go to the byu vs notre dame game it was so great to see them and for the kids to hang out with their friends and get reaquainted group hug saying goodbye was hard for my girls especially niah having twelve kids and six adults in our house sounds crazy right well it actually wasn t the kids all got along great and just played and played there wasn t one fight i was pleasantly surprised here they are all tucked in watching a movie before bed thanks randalls and mickelsens for a great weekend i wish it could have been longer we need to do it again sooner rather than later here s benny today playing outside while the girls were at school he loves to go out there with mabel and just swing and play by himself what a good boy benny bolt and his sidekick mabel the girls gave benny that nickname when he wears that cape and here i am at 37 weeks and five days prego i am ready to be done not because i m terribly uncomfortable just because i

mason niah s latest i thought i would post some funny things that niah has been saying lately last night while niah was laying in bed she yells out to bryan and i i ve been away from jesus for four years bryan says back yep do you miss him niah said ya i guess i do that s all she said and then it was quiet how sweet is that coming home on the airplane a couple of days ago we were flying over the ocean into boston niah looked out the window and said mom what if we crash in the ocean a shark would eat us and we d die in his throat i m sure the other passengers around us could hear her we got a good laugh out of that one the other night niah was saying her prayers before bed and at the end of her prayer she said and bless that we can get a new couch bryan and i were laughing pretty hard i have to admit that i have prayed for that too a few days ago niah dropped one of her princess magnets down the drain in our bathroom she was really sad and upset when it happened but eventually got over it a couple of days later she was in the bathroom and she must have remembered what happened she started bawling and very seriously she said i dropped my princess magnet down the drain this ruined my life i wish something as simple as that would ruin my life too the other day niah was playing dress up she was wearing one of her dress up rings gavin is our neighbor and we play all the time together niah loves him niah mom gavin gave me this ring when we got married mom oh really when did you get married niah it was while ago you weren t born yet gavin is my prince i love him we read scriptures every night as a family and the other night niah wanted to read so she opened up her little book of mormon and this is what she read us niah and it came to pass that the mean guys put jesus on the cross and then he was resurrected i guess she really does listen to what bryan and i have been trying to teach her in church on sunday niah asked bryan is through that wall how you get to heaven she was referring to the big white wall behind the pulpit june 28 1943 may 8 2008 this blog is dedicated to my grandma saundra maybe she is reading from heaven one big happy family here i am
