Happy Birthday MIN!!!

MY SISTER
my mirror,
witness,
partner in crime,

She's my teacher, defense attorney, my shrink........she's who sees me at my worst and my best, and still, LOVES ME ANYWAYS

It's Min's 26th birthday today. WOW! it seems like we were just in high school yesterday. Min and I are 13 months apart. We sure have had our ups and downs... but somehow has brought us so close. We have been through so much together throughout our lives and to this day.
I just wanted to tell her how much I care and love her. Even though Im not great at doing big surprises for her like she does for me, but I think of her all the time and wonder what I can do for her. She has done so much for me. I cant tell you how many times she has come to my house and SCRUBBED IT!! I even get embarrssed with her doing it. But i know she doesnt judge me. Taken my kids for days or just to give me a break. She has done many surprises for me, helped Jon with special events... given advice or just put me in my place. She has a special light about her deep inside... but I know her and I know her heart. I know she cares for her family and her childern more than anything else. I love her and am so grateful for her and her thoughtfulness towards me and my family.

Mindy, I love you so much. I wish I could show you more than this. You are special and I turly hope you have a FABULOUS BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 Year Later and Cute as a button!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
CEDAR ASPEN CALLIAH WITT


Almost one!
SO LITTLE

I lOVE IT!
I cant believe we have had her a year and seen how much she has grown and loves our family. We love her so much and she just knows each and everyone of us. She gets sooo excited when we come home. She knows when jon is home she will just stand at the door and sniff and scratch waiting for him to walk in. She will jump at his feet until he picks her up for hugs and kisses.
since we have been home with Jaxson I dont let her on my bed as much or wont let her on my lap while I have Jaxson in my arms. She seems to know and understand well. She instead will just sit at my feet. She will even go under my foot until i play with her with my feet. She just has a sweet personaility and its so fun to watch her. I love how she has her favorite spots to be or to hide or her favorite places to cuddle.
Happy Birthday Cedar!! I love you so much!

happy birthday to her sibs too!

The day finally came when I knew I didnt have to ache anymore and I would get to meet my son. A new baby and new spirit and joy in our little family, now a family of 6. WOW! Am I crazy? Can I do this? Of course I can!! Im no different than anyone else.
I woke up Tuesday morning at 6:06 am. I was suppose to call the hospital at 6 am. Ooops little late and I still had to get the sitter here so we could get down to Provo. They wanted me there in 30 min. It didnt happen. We got there about 7:30 and had to wait in the waiting room. Another couple was waiting to get checked in too. I got to my room about 8:15. They started to put the belts around my belly which where actually giving me credit this time for the contractions I was having. The Nurse got me an IV and had checked me and i was a 2 plus. Much better than i was on Thursday. Then the dr came and broke my water about 9 am. He said i was almost a 3, even better. MAN! I started to get those contractions pretty good. Enough to cry. I wasnt even on the Pit yet. But my great mother who had all 6 kids natural helped me "breath" through them. It was hard, painful but I was doing it. (WHY DID I GET THE EPIDERAL THEN??) That ended up causing me the most pain after labor and while at home. Basically a pinched nerve. Man they really hurt. BUT, I did get it and we had some fun making fun of my Numb legs. The nurse checked me, we took guesses of his weight, length, etc. We were taking a picture of me and my sisters and my mom and guess what.. say cheese.. I said GET THE NURSE LOL. I went from a 4 to a 10 in 40 MINUTES!! that was at 12:20.. He was born at 12:37 was 8 lbs 8 oz 21 in long. CUTE!! LONG!! and strawberry blonde hair. JOY! JOY! The DR was awesome and Jaxson was great. He had the cord wrapped a bit around his neck so we had to watch him for a bit, he wasnt staying "pink" he looked pail, but then he would perk up again.
You just want to hold him and not let him go. But he grows so fast.. I dont even want to think about it.
I have had GREAT help. I couldnt ask for anything better. I have had my sisters take my kids, having sleepovers, coming to my house and Cleaning it too (thanks min and seth) and my mom even staying with me for the weekend. THanks so much everyone. Aunt Raylene took the girls to richfield and that was fun for the girls and a break for me. Also Lincoln started to Potty train. I cant believe he is growing up so fast. The girls are great helpers and cant get enough of Jaxson. We have to beware of Lincoln at first he wanted nothing to do with me or Jaxson, but now has to hold his leg while i change his diaper, gives his binky while he cries and is just a great big brother. Now on to figuring out a routine and lots of apts.

Welcome!!!!

HE"S HERE!!!!
