My Kids

Zachary is 8 (almost 9). He is such an amazing boy. He was born premature but you would never know it. I developed toxemia in the 4th month of my pregnancy and after 1 month of bed rest and 3 days of hospital bed rest he was delivered at 35 weeks. He was born on a Thursday morning at 12:24 a.m. He weighed 5 lbs. 14 oz. and was 18" long. He had trouble breathing, sucking and swallowing at the same time and so he had to stay in the hospital for 7 days. It was so hard to leave my new and 1st baby in the hospital and go home but because of the power of the priesthood he was able to come home sooner rather than later.

He is in the 3rd grade and doing great! He has wonderful teachers this year. The whole 3rd grade just put on a play about the Island of Borneo. He had 4 parts and they were all memorized. I was able to help by making costumes for some of the kids. They performed the play this past Thursday twice during the day for all of the school kids and once that night for family and friends. Boy was I a proud mom! (And of course I cried!)

Zach is a Cub Scout currently working to get his Bear Badge. He LOVES Scouts! I am proud of all that he has accomplished in the Scouting program.

He loves to ride his bike and paly with his dog Max. He loves to play sports, swim and play with his friends. He is such a good big brother to his 2 little sisters.


Hannah is 5 (going on 32). She is a TOTAL princess. She was born 2 weeks early due to me having high blood pressure problems. She weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and was 19" long. She had a TON of black hair. She was born on my mom's birthday which they also share with my mom's sister and nephew. She was such a pretty baby and was able to go home the day after she was born. I had to be on bed rest for 2 months of her pregnancy and so when my doctor came in the day after she was born and asked if I wanted to go home I got out of there as fast as I could. She was born on a Monday morning at 1:47 a.m. and I was at church on Sunday (everyone thought I was crazy to be out with a baby that was less than a week old but if they had to be on bed-rest for 2 months they would have understood!)

Hannah is a MEGA diva. She loves dress up, make-up, high heels, and finger nail polish. She loves to dance and do gymnastics. She taught herself how to do cartwheels when she was 4.

She is in her last year of preschool (she missed the kindergarten deadline by 8 days) and loves school. She will be graduating from preschool on May 17th. She is really outgoing and has a lot of friends. She is always going to one play date or birthday party or another.


Olivia is 2 (going on 22). She is also a little princess but she thinks she is the BOSS (of everyone). Olivia was born at 36 weeks due to me developing toxemia yet again. She was born on a Thursday morning at 12:04 a.m. She weighed 6 lbs. 8 oz. and was 19-1/2" long. She had black hair which unlike her sister she lost it all (and I mean all) and has just started to get some back (although not much). I had to be on bed-rest for 2 weeks with her so I was done laying around and was at church on Sunday. (By the way bed-rest sucks and has done a real number on my body!) Olivia is the only one of my kids that got my blue eyes and I was excited for that seeing how all of my kids look like their dad.

Olivia loves to play and scream and be extra naughty (and she does the extra naughty thing REALLY good). She plays pretty good with her older brother and sister as long as she can be the boss. She loves barbies, baby dolls, and her play kitchen. She (just like her sister) is obsessed with lip gloss, make-up, dress up and high heels.

She loves to go to nursery. She askes me at least 10 times a week if it's time to got to "hersrey".
