Aunt Lynelle Came to visit us! We had a great time. It was so good to see her. She lives in Winnemucca, Nevada now so it isn't very often that we get to see each other. She is coming back in 5 weeks, and bring 3 of her kids with her. YEAH! She brought all kinds of goodies for the kids. She busted her butt sewing for my munchkins. She made each of the girls two dresses with matching socks ans hair bows. Dallin got an adorable gator outfit, two snugly blankets, a gator fabric quilt. it is so cute I will have to take a picture of it and post it. She also made him 3 sheets for his bed, another blanket, and his blessing outfit. I know, I am so spoiled. She has always been so good to my kids. I am so blessed to have a great big sister. She also helped me get started organizing all my pictures so that I can start scrap booking. and let me tell you that was a mess. I had pictures shoved in all kinds of places. she worked really hard to help me get alot done. Lynelle was here for Estella's spend the night makeover party, and she pretty much took over for me, I had to keep nursing Dallin, so she stepped in a saved the day. I can't wait till she comes back.

GO GATORS!

David Took Estella and Amelia to their first Florida Gators football game. Well, sort of, it was the scrimmage game. Those are the only tickets we can afford right now. They had a great time. Poppa and Jed went too. Estella freaked out a little when she turned around in the bleachers and saw how high up she was. She has a major fear of heights.( just like her mom) Their adorable dresses were compliments of my sister Lynelle, who just happened to be able to come visit and see baby Dallin. The clothes are so cute. she made them pink and white gator material sundress also. Gretchen also got dresses, but no football game yet. Maybe next year. David is doing a good job of brain washing them isn't he?

I'm to young to have a 7 year old!

How could this happen? where has the time gone? Estella Turned 7 on April 23rd. I am feeling a bit old. I can't have a 7 year old. 6yr old was fine, but 7 is way to close to ten, and once you hit ten, teenagers are just around the corner. She had a great birthday. She really wanted a guitar for her Birthday, David found this really cute pink one. she loved it. We had her favorite meal. Mommy's mushroom steak and mashed potatoes. The sister missionaries came over for dinner. On Friday she had a spend the night party. She is growing so fast and I am trying to enjoy it as it flies by!

Tennessee Bound

We went to Tennessee to see Carla, Danny, Jordan, and Savannah. this was April 8-11. It was a very LONG trip up there. I was beginning to wonder what in the world I was thinking.Estella and Amelia were fighting, Dallin was screaming and Gretchen was bored out of her mind and we were still south of Atlanta. It seemed like we were never going to get there, but we did, and I am so glad we went. It was so good to see them. I miss my sister like crazy. We were so spoiled to live right by each other for several years. Our kids miss each other so much too. While we were there Jordan got Baptized. It was wonderful to see. They seem to Love it up there and even though I miss them I wish them the very best.

Bunnies

Estella and Amelia got pet bunnies right before Easter. What can I say their Daddy is a softy. Amelia named hers Butterfly. Estella named her Cinnamon. They love them Gretchen like to play with them Too.

What would I do without Grandmom

Grandmom has been my lifesaver! This is where you will find Dallin from about the hours of 11:30am-6:00pm, Monday- Sunday. Well except for when he takes a break to nurse. I am so grateful that Grandmom love's that little man! He came at the perfect time. She had just finished her radiation, we were worried about her not feeling like getting up and going, but no problem there. She is up and ready to hold the little man everyday. It is the sweetest thing to hear her talk to him. The Lord knew what He was doing sending him when he did. She is so great with him and they love to nap together. I am also so lucky, I don't think I could do it without her. I never thought 4 kids would be so much harder than 3 but wow it is. Thank you Grandmom for being my Hero!

Here he is Dallin McClean Seaman! Born March 18,2009. He weighed 9lbs. 6ozs. 21inches Long. He also had a big head 14 3/4 inches. We all figured David's child would be born with a big head right! We are so happy he is here. The girls just love their little brother. He is a very sweet boy. I wasn't so sure about having a boy, but I must admit I am so glad to have him. He had a rough start to life. When he was born his blood sugar was low, so they had to give him an iv. I didn't even get to see him till he was about 9 hours old. He had the iv for about 24 hours. then they still kept checking his blood sugar every time before a fed him. his poor heels were so purple and bruised from all the pricks. it was about every two hours for 2 days! I know he won't remember and it was probably much harder on mommy than him, but still it was sad. Then his billy Ruben count was high. so he had to go back to the nursery for light therapy. They kept us 2 extra days for that. We finally got to bring him home Sunday Evening. ( he was born on Wednesday) We had to take him back the next morning to have the billy checked again. It went back up so it was sunbathing all day and making sure he nursed every two hours. anyway long story short he is much better, but we found out thru all this that there was a blockage in his left kidney. So it has been lots of doctors appointments, and testing. We are now going to a specialist in Atlanta, He is hopeful that the problem will fix itself over time, but if not he will have to have surgery to fix the blockage. We go back up next Wednesday for more testing, so I will try to keep you all posted, but lets face it I am not so good at keeping up with blogging. I just can't find time.
