A New Arrival for the New Year!

 What a way to ring in the New Year with our New bundle of joy! Straight from my mother's arms in heaven to us here on earth... Piper Rae arrived c-section (37wks) on Tues, Jan 3rd at 10:10 am at Sumerlin Hospital! She weighed 7.7 lbs and 20.5 ins long! Our biggest baby! With tons of black hair and gorgeous tan skin! The c-section started out great like always and as soon as baby Piper was out my Uterus stopped working and would not contract and function properly! Same thing that happened when i delivered Cash but worse. I was loosing a lot of blood do to this non functioning uterus so almost hysterectomy and almost blood transfusion! I'm so grateful for my amazing duo Dr.'s -husband and wife Dr. Roberts! They have saved my life with every child that i have delivered! It's always scary when they tell your husband to leave the surgery room with baby Piper as they continued work on getting me to stop bleeding. You could see the concern in the dr. eyes. Every organ out of my stomach as Dr. Lisa Roberts was up on the surgery table pushing on my stomach and uterus to get it contract so they could start sewing me shut. I wasn't in any pain but i could feel the pressure and movement of my body. i started throwing up. It was awful! But with my dr.'s magic hands i was put back together! Sore and very bruised but i survived once again! No more babies for me! My Dr.'s say my uterus can't handle it and i agreed we are blessed with 3 beautiful babies! We are done! Couldn't be happier! Just look at Baby Piper! We can't get enough of her! She is such a beautiful perfect addition to our sweet family! We are blessed beyond measure!

 So in LOVE! 3rd child born on the 3rd! Jan 3rd! :)

 This collage is when Penny and Cash arrived at the hospital to meet their new Baby Sister! Penny was so excited! Couldn't wait to hold her real life baby! Cash was a little stand off-ish trying to figure out what's going on! He kept saying Piper was still in my tummy! Nope she's right here! Baby Piper is here! But then he warmed right up and has been such a big helper! Both of them have been great! The adjustment hasn't been to hard! It's busy especially when i need to get all loaded and out the door at a certain time! lol but other than that we are over the moon just loving our Sweet Beautiful Piper Rae!

 

Lots of snuggles! Lots of little helpers! Can't believe we have 3 babies! My heart is full of joy and so happy! Truly blessed to be their mommy!

 We just can't get over how perfect she is! Her tan skin, dark eyes, tons of dark hair! Just perfection! She reminds me a lot of her big sister Penny but has facial similarities of Cashy! What can i say we are just in love with baby Piper!

All the love from all our visitors! We are so grateful for our family and all they do for us! Thanks for coming and meeting baby Piper Rae! We have felt so much love these last few weeks! We are lucky!

Christmas Day Fun!

Christmas day is always a busy day visiting family! but we love it and wouldn't change our day for anything! We got up the kids saw what Santa brought them! We did our little Christmas fun at our house opening presents and seeing their priceless faces as they opened each surprise! Then it was off to Grandma DeeDee's and Grandpa Fadi's for our breakfast tradition! We love being around family! Had a wonderful time! We spent most the day there! Kids played with their cousins, we talked and laughed and then we all watched trolls! Then it was off to Grandpa Jeff's and Grammy Vicki's for amazing yummy dinner! It was like Thanksgiving all over again! So good! We had a great time visiting and laughing! Our sweet little kids were so good as we went from house to house gone all day! They couldn't wait to get home to play with all their new toys!! Such a wonderful blessed day! Merry Christmas!

What an Accomplishment!

Words can not express how proud I am of my sister! She recently ran and completed her very first Marathon! 26.2 Miles! Man i don't even think I could even do the 2 out of the 26.2 miles! Her hard work, determination, and dedication amazes me! She seriously can do anything and everything! We had such a fun night spotting her and Joanna at all the different mile markers! We wanted to give them something to look forward to as they came up to the next mile! They never knew where they would spot us next and that's what kept them going! 26.2 miles is a long time to run! We had a blast! The kids would get so excited to see them running by! We would then hop  in our car and Chad would map out what mile marker we should head next! So much fun! Love these Aunties! They are the most amazing! Such an inspiration! We are so proud of you girls!!! You did it!!!

Duning it Up!!

 

We finally got out to the dunes for our 1st trip of the season!! Oh what an amazing time we had!! The perfect trailer!!! Great weather! and of course great company! love being with our family!! Penny's little razor didn't stop the whole weekend! She had a blast and so did all the kids riding!! She such a good little driver too! We can't wait to get back!!! We love our dune life!

Fun things Happening for Penny!

 

Oh man 1st grade has been a busy start for all of us!! For me it's been an eye opener balancing everything i do from working to being mom and wife to sitting down and working with her on all her homework, sight words, and reading and projects! I didn't realize the time it takes to really work  with her on these things and how much needs to be done at home for her to excel! Well boy do  we have it down now! We have our systems and she has been doing awesome! I'm so proud of her! The sight words and reading have been a challenge for us! but she is getting it and got an award for reaching her AR reading goal! So proud! Working hard pays off! She is so amazing! Love the determination she has!

Also at school all the 1st graders put on the cutest Thanksgiving Program! Of course Penny sang her little heart out! She did amazing on her speaking part! Just love my little performer!
