Okay so I know that the past couple days when people ask me how I am doing I have responded with "I'm so ready to be done"! Really I am feeling fine just the usual tired, moody (that one is for j) and I just don't wanna be huge anymore. All selfish reasons I KNOW! So yesterday I was taught my lesson...I woke up fine in the morning got paris dressed and we headed out to the salon! Mara came and we were doing her hair ALL was GOOD then halfway thru my back was KILLING me! I have had problems with pinched nerves and what not and figured it was that. I finish doing hair, we went home and it starts to get a bit worse so I figure I will lie down try and sleep off the pain. For the life of me I could not get comfortable, so I had paris call her daddy to hurry home. I am sure there are plenty of people out there who have high tolerance for pain, I happen to be one of those people. (example:) the day I went into to labor with paris, FULL on contractions, I was still trying to get ready and go in for work. My dad didn't like that idea and called faith over who just 7 weeks before had jonah and she wasn't having anything other than taking me to the hospital! I told her and kept telling myself these aren't that bad I can still talk thru em, they MUST get worse! not to mention almost 2 months early I was in complete denial this could be real! So I don't want to go the hospital and look like this sissy and over re act so just take me to the doctor first. Well I saw that doctor and I was at a 7 and FULLY effaced! If I wanted to attempt an epidural I would have to be in the delivery room in less than 30 min.!
So now this pain in my back has brought me to tears which meant the pain was getting pretty good! So I call my sister to call her "nurse" friend but she was gone, so I called Justin's sister who is a nurse, and txt Annie (who just went thru all this) and got all their thoughts and opinions which all were about the same! DANG IT! But I STILL didn't want to go and sit at the hospital so I took some Tylenol and a warm bath in hopes that would help! NO SUCH LUCK, I guess I have waited long enough, (8 hours at this point of killer back pain) I will go to the dang hospital! Ironically all this happened on the first day of Justin's softball league starting. (he's pretty sure I planned it) He debated to go or not (earlier) and when it finally looked like he wasn't going to make the game, he told me we were defiantly going to the hospital now, he wasn't missing that game for nothing! (paris by the way was so excited for me to go to the hospital, she didn't get why nor was it something cute like she thought she was going to get "her baby", but that she was bored and so badly wanted to go to grandpa's) WHERE IS THE LOVE! ; )
We get to the hospital and they hook me up, take some tests and with in 30 min of being there I had had 5 CONTRACTIONS every 5 MIN and they were lasting for 60 seconds each and I was a little dilated! I WAS IN LABOR FOLKS!
What is it that at 30 weeks my kids want out!?! It has to be they hear how fun I am and must be so excited to come out and see me! Ha Not this lil guy the way I have been moody with this one he hears too much and would NEVER come out! ; )
So they shoot me up with a shot every 30 min for the next hour in a half, take more tests and keep me monitored. Contractions start to slow and finally stop and just 5 hours later they let me go home at 1 in the morning! The back pain STILL hasn't stopped which is caused by an infection in my kidneys! Paris might have been a preemie but the pregnancy was a breeze, THIS LITTLE GUY...I am afraid to take anymore tests for fear there is going to be MORE wrong, cuz just about every other has been!
LESSON OF THE WEEK...DON'T COMPLAIN, BE HAPPY HE IS STILL IN THERE, IT WILL BE OVER SOON ENOUGH!

CALI ANYONE!?!
Paris for the last few days will stand on anything she can that seems like she is gonna lose her balance and says "mom look I'm surfing!" (example: her tiny little quad she is way to big for, her play stroller or just a stool will work) I wish I had a picture to show but I broke my camera!! Now she also has been into this show that is all about the best water parks in the U.S. (she chooses it over cartoons now) and wants to go so BADLY! But then tells me that she would like to go down the scary slides when she is five but would rather go to the beach while she is four! And well yesterday she saw a show on theme parks, and well that did it! She was animated and totally excited and looked like she was having almost as much fun watching it as she would be if she were there! SO I THINK SHE IS TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING...

here is a little more of what we did in pine!
We sure do love our time in Pine, and it was awesome to have all 4 of the sisters there and not a SINGLE cousin was missing! With Grandma and Nana it was just like I remember my childhood visits! (minus maybe the making up of dances and commercials, my kid just isn't there yet)
But there were lots of CREEK visits, the fort under the bridge!
The smaller kids just thought it to be too cool to be able to go down there with out a mommy present, all on their own!
We put Taylor in charge, armed with a cell phone, and boy did he love that and took full advantage! (paris later told me they had to say "permission to speak" whenever they had something to say!) I think that a had a little to do with Taylor having a bit of an obsession with the army! A perfect pic. Taylor on his "throne"! ; )
Well these kids did need WATER so the parents ventured down to give them something to drink and to snap a few PICTURES of course!
I totally had to force and bribe her to take this picture, doesn't she look thrilled!? She just wanted her Independence back and have me go back to the cabin!
We also did something we haven't done before in Pine...We wanted to take the kiddos somewhere, we all kinda wanted to do something different, some wanted to do a little hike, um me sorry not happening and the differences in ages in the kids it just didn't seem like we could come to one conclusion, then grandma (mom) suggested a GOAT/LAMA FARM! So we were off to parts of pine we haven't really seen before, this goat farm was actually cool, really pretty and the kids seemed to enjoy it! We went at FEEDING time and thats also when they get milked, so all who wanted to got to MILK THE GOAT! Well Paris was like um ya no thanks I'm going outside! But I thought, HECK WHY NOT!?!
HOLY LLAMA.... 
THIS PIC. MAKES ME LAUGH, FAITH TOOK THE PIC AND SCREAMED WHEN IT LOOKED AT HER! I THINK IT TOTALLY KNEW WHAT IT WAS DOING!
We bought some goat's milk FUDGE and headed back to grandma's for dinner! We ATE we PLAYED and G-Pa (Ron) took the kids into the lab to show them all about what he does!(he makes teeth) THEY LOVED IT! It was super cute!
NOTHING LIKE ENDING THE TRIP AND THE NIGHT WITH MUSIC AND SONG!
My sweet girl! (

My Little Country Dancers
Well I am finally posting about our St. Johns 24th of July trip/family reunion! I really didn't take much pictures but it actually was a really nice time! Thanks Brandy for letting us stay with ya, seriously doesn't take long to feel at home there! We were only there for 3 days but it was perfect weather and lots of family! We got there just in time for the camp a rama, everyone in town parks their cars in a circle and we eat. My family makes Indian fried bread that is the BEST! (that's really what we come back for) The kids see how dirty they can get running around in the dirt, then we go home and get ready for the dance! OH the DANCE, that used to be a count down for me (like christmas or something) So much fun. But we realized once your older it just isn't the same! So all there is to do now is to pass it on to our kids and hope they have just as much fun! Well my girl soo loved it....
l when Paris had no one to dance with she got out there and danced by herself but daddy (yep I'm calling you out) was too worried of looking silly so he didn't dance with ME or his beautiful girl, this is all we got out of him... Side lines holding kids who's parents would dance!
N IT! (J was oh so excited about that one) showing off how many there really are in my family! 
and the WOMEN WE OWE IT ALL TOO! Grandma and Grandpa (of course) and this is only one side of the trailer!

MY TWINNERS
In preparation for Faith's BIG 30th BASH I had her kids a couple times over the week to help her get SOME thing done! Paris was beside herself to have Jonah and Ikey here at her house! She took on the "host" role trying to be helpful showing them where her toys were, where the suckers were and making sure they stayed entertained!
We did venture out I had to get Justin a new phone (he can't go without his phone) so I took all 3 kids to the alltel store! That place alone is no fun, much less having to wait with 3 kids! So here I am standing there waiting patiently keeping the kids tame (for now) as I got about 6 people comment how crazy I was...Paris and Jonah 4yrs old, they thought were twins (which I get a lot) Ikey who is 2 and ME 6 1/2 months pregnant! And those that didn't actually say something to me gave me either the sympathetic or you so need birth control look!
SUCH THE LUCK
So our computer crashed (our newish not even a year old computer) So we took it into get fixed thinking it couldn't be anything THAT major, being that it's newish, well we were wrong! They did a diagnostic on it and said the entire hard drive went bad and that all my pictures are wiped out! Considering that was the first thing I told them and the only reason I spent the money to get it fixed professionally instead of having J piddle with it, was because I want I need those pictures! I was sick and asked if there was any way to save em, their response, "your in luck you can save your old hard drive and send it in, "they" will open in it in a safe, dark room and can do some really detailed work for the small fee of A THOUSAND DOLLARS!" Well I really did think once that those pictures were priceless but apparently I have a price and ya it's a thousand bucks!
