Since I don't keep a very good "Journal" I am going to start writing more on our blog.
September 21st was the day I went in for my hyster. A lot of people would say that to have that done before I was even 30 is crazy. Well for those of you that don't know I have suffered from endometriosis since I was 15. The doctors didn't think I would be able to have kids, but as we all know I proved them wrong and I think a lot of that is because we starting having kids while I was still pretty young... well by young I mean I was 20 when I had Bryson. I have had a miscarriage in between all of my kids which means I have been prego 7 times. After having Boston we knew our little family was complete ( 2 boys 2 girls...score is tied) we couldn't ask for more. I was done with the severe pain I would have during ovulation and my menstrual cycle. I meet with Dr. Scott Rees (who I might add is truly amazing) We talked about my options all of which could help things out but would all eventually lead to a hyster. So with that we decided that it was time to get the dang thing out. I went in at 9:30 got more blood drawn and got checked in. The two older kids were at school and John had Annistyn and Boston out in the waiting room. They called me back, tried 6 times to get an IV in my arms, hands, wrists you name it they tried it ..ouch!!! I then went back into the holding room where Dr. Thayne Wilson ( he use to be in my ward so it was nice to recognize a face) talked to me about what he would do and kind of how I would feel. After I signed the consent they wheeled me on back into the surgical room where they injected my I.V with something I felt a little tingly but I was able to move myself onto the surgical bed. At that time he put a little mask on my face and BOOOOOM all I remember is the nurses telling me it was time to wake up. I have never been in such a deep deep sleep. It felt soooo good just to lay there and be so out of it, little did I know I would be very very nauseated afterwards. The doctor said the surgery went very well. He said there was a TON of scare tissue from the endometriosis and that because of the endo my uterus had attached itself to my bladder. I am so grateful we decided to remove the uterus I would hate to think what it would have done many more years down the road. The stay in the hospital was just over night. I was so sick to my stomach and dizzy that whole night I thought I was going to die. They stood me up to walk just to see if that would help... well it kind of did, I puked my guts out lol I'm sure you all wanted to know that but I want it for my records =) Poor Saedree started to cry when she saw me for the first time. I was so out of it with oxygen on and looking mighty fine I'm sure. I had to hurry and take the oxygen off and try and come too enough for her to know I was okay. I am writing this still on drugs so if it doesn't make much sense that's why. All I can say now is that I am 1. So glad it's over and 2. I couldn't have done it without my sweet husband and wonderful mom who are my two personal nurses that kick my butt and have held my hand and made things seem much better through this whole process THANK YOU . My sweet husband even did the girls hair and got the kids out the door for school the next day... he's my hero. I couldn't do it without you!!! NOW ON TO RECOVERY in hopes that life is much brighter and a lot less painful!

Boston John
Okay I know that all these pictures are pretty much the same but he is just starting to smile and laugh and I think hes so freaking cute... this is only 1/4 of the pictures I actually took. I just can't get enough of this kid.
More Soccer Fun
Saedree started soccer again. She is pretty good when she stops worrying about what her hair looks like and what her friends are doing lol I would hate to see what she would be like in dance! It is really fun to watch her play and the weather is so fabulous! GOOO LARKS!
Brysons artwork
When I took the kids to "Back to School Night" Bryson was so excited to show me his artwork that was hanging in the halls at the school. I had no idea that it was this cool. He always has stuff in the halls that his class has done, but never has he had his work framed and put in the hall like this was. It was SOOO neat to see this! Good job buddy
The New North Park
This is the new park in Spanish Fork. It is sooo awesome. The kids had a blast. They even have water spouts that are pretty cool. Good job park builders =) This was the grand opening that happened a few Saturday's ago so it was crazy busy but fun.
LOVES his toys
We put these toys above Boston the other day and he went crazy. It was so cute to watch him get so excited and to try and grab them. My little man is growing up so fast.
First Day of School
I can't believe I have 3 kids in school this year...YAY! Bryson just started 4th, Saedree is in 1st and Annistyn started preschool. It's so weird just having the baby at home 3 days a week. Although the kids are super helpful to me it's really nice having them in school too ;) Again Bryson was very clear that he didn't want me to take pictures when we were at the school so I didn't. We did do the "Bus Stop Breakfast" again this year and it turned out awesome. Thanks mommies of the cute school kids for helping.
Owls Game for a Birthday Party
For Bryson's birthday he wanted to go to an Owls baseball game. It was super fun!!! I know I got more pictures of Boston than I did of Bryson but man that kid looked cute in his little baseball outfit...Thanks Keri and Kelly for the outfit!
