Rollups

These "roll up pancakes", or as most of the world knows them as crepes, are going to be our new breakfast diet. . . . .

Or atleast that is what Ashelyn is claiming! She begs for these every morning.

I get to them once a week during the school year, but now that school is "oh so soon going to be out (yikes)" I have plenty of eggs and flour on hand.

Update on Life

This is what we have been up to.

Coleston's Blessing Day 4/24/11

This little guy had a big day on Sunday!

Here he is in his white tux made by Gma Mitchell
Laying by his cake designed by daddy (it was supposed to have baby booties and such!)
that Gma Young got for him.
Coleston was the first one to try a handful :)

This is the first real picture I have been in with my handsome new love!

Quin's parents were able to be here with us on this special day.

My family here with us on this special day

We were so blessed to have my family and Quin's parents here to celebrate suh a wonderful day with us! We have been so blessed to belong to the Church of Jeses Christ of Latter Day Saints that believes in families being together forever. I have felt the spirit in so many ways this weekend, having family, celebrating Easter, and watching Coleston be blessed by his father has confirmed to me that I am the luckiest mommy and wife and sister and daughter . . . because Heavenly Father and Jesus love me (and my family) so much.

Tears fall as I think . . . "Oh what a HAPPY day!"

Bravo Cheese Farms

Quin's parents are in town for the week, so we have been having some fun. We went to Bravo Cheese Farms today. . . .

Of course, we also got some cheese curds and enjoyed small town humor :)

Coleston Young

Coleston Randell

Born: March 12, 2011

7 lbs 8 oz

20 1/4 in long

He is such a cute blessing to our family!

The story: Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. I started to have hard contractions. I layed down and rested but couldn't, so the kids and I went outside to play. While out talking with the neighbor I realized my contractions were getting harder and closer together so I called Quin (who was at work, of course) and asked him to come home. I packed my bag and the kids bags. Then I had to bribe (by saying mommy really needed to go to the hospital to have the baby) my kids to come in. They were so excited that the baby was coming! Ashie ran outside and exclaimed: "Mommy has an appointment at the hospital!" Treydon got a huge smile on his face and claimed: "I told you he would come today. Remember mom? You said you would give me chocolate if I was right. Do I get my chocolate?" haha. Well Quin and I dropped the kids off at a friends, I ate some pizza (since I knew they wouldn't feed me there and who knew how long I was going to be in labor) and then headed to the hospital. On our 20 minute ride to the hospital Quin started to realize how hard my contractions were, to which I claimed: "I am going to have this baby by 6:30!" It was 5:30. We got to the hospital and after checking into the emergency room headed straight to delivery since I was having a hard time breath through my contractions. We got into the room at 6:00 p.m. and by 6:33 I was holding my sweet baby boy in my arms!

I never thought I would go natural and have a fast labor (which I did with Ashelyn), but twice! Sweet Coleston just really wanted to come out and start enjoying life!

He is such a sweet and beautiful baby!

We love him!
