Our Family

I know that it has been over a year since I last posted but alot has happened in the last year. I found out in October that I was pregnant again. I thought I was done at 3 kids but I guess the lord didn't agree. We had another girl on August 3, 2010 and named her Sierra NaTasha Adams. She weighted 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20 inches long. She is now 4 months old and is very active. Austin is now 18 months old and is my little Tornado. Alexis has started Kindergarten and loves every minute of it. She has also started dance and is on the company team. She does Hip Hop and Break dancing. She is very good at it. Paige is in her 2nd year of preschool at Center Stage and loves talking to all of her friends at school. She also is in dance at center stage and loves it. That is just a little bit of a break down of what has been going on. I hope it doesn't take me another year to post and hopefully there won't be anymore additions to the family :)

I love the Fall

One Sunday afternoon we went up to my parents cabin to enjoy the leaves

Green River

We went to Green River for a softball Tournament. Jer's team took 2nd place. Jer had a couple of hours in between games and I really wanted to go and see the geyser. I came here a couple of times when I was young and I wanted to show Jer and the girls. The geyser use to go off every hour years ago but there was a guy that put dynamite down it so now it goes off about twice a day and I talked to the locals and they said that it usually goes off at 10:00 so we headed off at 10:00 and we got to see the geyser shoot up about 10-15 feet in the air but it usually goes up about 60 feet but that was good enough for the girls. They loved playing in the water.

Update

I went to my doctors appt. on Monday and I have schduled my heart surgery for August 28th. My doctor wanted to do it Friday but that was way to soon for me. He could tell that I am very nervous about this so he gave me plenty of reading material to prepare myself. So Friday the 28th is the day unless at the last minute I decide to change the date. (I don't think the doctor would be very happy about that, hahaha)

Austin Jett Adams

Austin was born on June 9th weighing in at 7 lbs. 11 oz. 20 inches long

One for the book...

Life has been a little crazy lately and I just wanted to tell everyone thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers as I try to get through this craziness.

Here is a recap for anyone that has not heard.

On Wednesday afternoon my heart was racing so fast so I finished up a work and rushed to labor and delivery. I told the nurse that my heart was racing and she started to put the monitors around my stomach to monitor the baby and as she is doing this she told me that I was probably just starting to get high blood pressure but as soon as she put the stethoscope on my chest she sat there for a minute and then went to my wrist to try and get my pulse and then she tried again on my chest and then when she couldn't get a reading she told me very calmly "I will be right back" the next thing I know I have 3 more nurses in my room 2 are from the ICU and one is from the ER. (I told Jer that this was just going to be a sit and be monitored for an hour and I would be released so I told him not to even bother) Well, the nurses decided that I needed to have ice around my neck and face to see if my heart would stop racing but nothing was working by then the nurses had called in 2 doctors and they are going to do an EKG on me. They took my heart reading and by then they were freaking out because my heart rate was 230. So they got a bucket of ice water and told me I needed to dunk my head 3 times for 10 seconds each but still nothing was working. Then at this point I have 3 more doctors in my room and they are yelling at the labor and delivery nurse (who by the way is totally freaked out because this is out of her league) to get a IV asap (this is the part where I start to freak out because there are so many doctors in my room and they are yelling and running around) As soon as the IV is in the ER doctor is telling me what is going to happen while he is starting to put medicine into my IV. He said that my chest would hurt, I might pass out and I would taste metal in my mouth. I had no idea what this meant but while everything is being said I heard a couple of nurses out in the hall talking and asking what was going on and they said "They are going to restart her heart". Holy Crap, I sure wish Jer was here!! Everything happened that the doctor said and my heart slowed down to where it is suppose to be, 100-110 beats per minute not 230. After everyone stopped freaking out they came in and talked to me about what just happened and they told me that they had paged my doctor, called the heart doctor and was getting ready for emergency c-section. Jeremiah finally gets to the hospital and he walks down the hall where my room is and he sees all of the nurses around my room and they were just shocked at what had just happened. He said that he thought one of us had died by the look on the nurses faces. Then I was monitors for the next hour and everything was just fine so they sent me home. I felt fine but I was just exhausted.

On Monday I went to see the heart doctor and he told me they had figured out what was wrong with me. He told me this was not pregnancy related and I need to have heart surgery but that can't happen until after the baby comes. I have SVT which means I have an extra electric vent. I was born with this problem and the reason while it just happens while I am pregnant is because I have so many more hormones and stress on my body. So I will be having heart surgery in July. I just cross my fingers that this doesn't happen again but if it does I have a chart that the heart doctor gave me to give to the emergency room. He said this is my ticket to the front of the line.

OH MY HECK!!!!

Jeremiah finally got he Elk back from being mounted on Christmas Eve. This thing is HUGH!!! I told Jeremiah that his Elk was going out in the garage or downstairs in the basement but he had other plans. The Elk will only fit in our living room (how convienent) It measures 6 feet from top to bottom.

(I know Kyle, I thought it would never happen either)

Alexis is such a character

Alexis loves to dress up but it can't be in anything girly. She put Jer's hunting boots on and snow hat and went hunting.

Christmas Day

Alexis LOVES this guitar. She has a mic that she can scream or sing in to. She plays while Paige dances.

Paige loves the Wizard of Oz and everytime we go over to my Grandmas house which is 1 or 2 times a week she has to watch it. Well, I thought it would be a good idea if I got it so she could watch it at home and give my grandma's VHS tape a break. This movie is very hard to find but Paige loves it and Jer and I have this movie memorized.

Alexis and Paige had a lot of fun and received a ton of gifts. Alexis is such a tom boy that she wanted Spiderman. Paige is such a little princess that she loves to dress up.

On Christmas my dad always had to give us a game or a toy so this year his idea was a little different. First my dad gave all the in-laws a present and they couldn't open it and they had to decide if they were going to accept the give or give it to their spouses to open and play the game. Well, Jer decide that he would keep the give and play the game. It was a bow and arrow and he had to hit the target and if he did he would win money. Well, as most of you know Jer is an avid hunter so this was no problem for him. Next up was me and my 2 brothers and my brother in-law, we had to hula hoop. WOW!! This was very funny to watch and play. Needless to say I didn't win much money. I have never been good at hula hooping but to add on that I am pregnant just made it more fun. Next we had to decide who was going to do the last challenge and I decided that Jer would be the best bet. They had to make paper airplanes and fly them thru the hula hoop. If they did make it in we won money. Jer didn't do so good and neither did anybody else. My parents gave us our final gift and it was a getaway up to Daniels Summit with my whole family for the weekend in February.

Christmas Eve Pj's

Alexis's School Program

Alexis was very nervous for her big performance but she did great. She didn't dance much but she started to warm up by the end and had a great time.

Alexis saying her part as the "E" in Merry Christmas. Her saying was "E is for eggnog that tastes so sweet homemade by grandma for a christmas treat." I was so stinkin' proud of her and how clear she said it. A lot of the kids you could not understand but they did dance good.




Our Future Dancer. Paige is so excited to go to school and expecially dance. She just had to get up on that stage and dance.

Halloween

Alexis was a cowgirl and Paige was a kitty cat or what Paige said she was "a Katty"

Muzzleloader Hunt

The last day of the muzzleloader hunt Jeremiah asked if he should go shoot a deer so we could have some jerky for our food storage. I thought it was a great idea. Here is what he came back with.

So the next day Alexis and Paige thought it was so cool that their dad shot a deer so they got their guns and were walking around the yard looking for deer to shoot. It was so hilarious we even got it on video.

4th picture tag...

I was tagged by Haley and how it works is you are suppose to go into your pictures and go to your 4th folder and pick your 4th picture.

This picture was taken up at my dad's lot. We went up there on a Sunday and packed a lunch and enjoyed relaxing in the trailer house.

Fun Filled Night

We had an exciting night over at Grandma and Grandpa Hall's house. They had haunted houses to decorate and pumpkins to carve. Jeremiah and I took over decorating the house because it is a little to hard to let a 2 and 3 year old try and build a house.

Paige's new hairdo

Cornbelly's

Steve and Jeannette took us to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving point. We had so much fun and there was tons of stuff to do. Here is Mckinly, Paisley, Alexis and Paige riding on the cow train

Paige and Alexis pumping water to get the rubber duck's to move

The girls had a lot of fun racing on the track even Jer and I raced around the track

We went and watched the pig races and thoses pigs are so fast running around the pen. Well, the host of the pig show needed a volunteer so Steve volunteered me and not knowing what I was volunteered for I got up and the assistant brought over a cute little black pig for me to kiss. Wow, was I surprised but I went ahead and kissed the pig (now I can mark that off my to do list). Both Alexis and Paige got picked to stand up and cheer on their pig and they each won a pig nose.
