Just one complaint!

Posted by Erica

My Feet hurt. They have hurt since the day Jonas was born. I don't know why. You would think it was so Erik would rub them every night (which he does) but it really isn't. They just hurt.

These are my hopital toes. They normaly aren't so cute.

OK I am done now.

Jonas Squire Lopez Blessing

Posted by Erica

Jonas was blessed Sunday May 3rd. It was a really nice day. My sister and her family came and stayed with us, and Erik's friend Jeb. Trevin LOVES when his cousins come to play. They played in our new backyard ( That's another post for another day). Jonas did cry through the blessing but it was beautiful anyway. A lot of Eriks friends and family came which was really nice. Like I mentioned earlier my sister came and our great friends the Dunaways and the Footes came. I missed getting pictures of them...
My parents skyped (web camera) from Samoa during the luncheon so it felt like they were here and apart of the party. I was so happy the timing was perfect.

MAN OF THE HOUR

Grandma Janet Lopez found these adorable outfits for the boys and Jonas's big day.

My FAMILY!

Proud Grandma Lopez

What was I thinking....

Posted by Erica

I think this photo explains it all!!

I decided to make cookies to share with friends and family. OK...I made cookies to eat cookie dough. I love this stuff. I thought Trevin is old enough to help. I would measure and he could pour it in and stir. Every time I turned around he was scooping the flour, salt and soda into the drawer!!! WHAT A MESS!! Then he was adding salt and sugar to the mixture.
(I LOVE MY SLING!)

He was having a blast, so I just let him keep playing. Erik about died when he came home and saw the mess.

Guitar Hero night at the Lopez's is a family affair. We had so much fun and Trevin was cracking us up. He was jamming with his guitar it helped all of us get into to it.

Jonas was just kicking back enjoying the tunes.

EASTER

Posted by Erica

Easter was a little different this year. My dad is the ultimate traditionalist, growing up every Easter we color the eggs Saturday. Then Sunday "The Easter Bunny" hides the eggs and empty Easter Baskets. We wake up and find the eggs all over the house and find the baskets that are now full of goodies. The Easter Bunny is a VERY good hider. We could never find our baskets on our own.

Even after all of us kids were out of the house my mother still had to wake up Easter morning and find eggs and her basket.

Well since I had just had a baby a week before our Easter plans were different. We still colored eggs and hid them in the back yard for Trevin, he found his basket (that he wanted nothing to do with.) We were planning on going to Erik's parents for Easter dinner but his mother caught a horrible cold and was really under the weather.

Erik made a very delicious Easter spread with deviled eggs, mashed potatoes, corn, and Ham. I am very lucky to have such a great cook around. We try to take family pictures on Easter in our Sunday best. It was too soon to take Jonas in public so my Sunday best was laking this year (honestly I think it was the first time out of my pj's in a week. )

This is as close as we got to a family picture this year. Hopefully next year we will look a little better too. Here are my boys looking very dapper in there Easter cloths.

HANDSOME BOYS!!!

Trevin LOVED coloring the eggs. We color ours with crayons first then with dye it was great fun.

Erik took Trevin to his first Easter Egg hunt. It was the ward activity I was very jealous. I wanted to see him. Erik said that Trevin had a blast. I am so glad, wish I could have seen him.

What to say. I never really know. First off I guess I can give a little labor story. We went in April 1st (no joke) to be induced at 10:00 pm. I wasn't expecting them to call until later and if at all then I would not go in until 1 or 2. I was planning on scrubbing the bathroom and moping the floor before we went to the hospital. We got home from dropping Trevin off at Erik's parents at 8:30 and the Hospital had called!!! That meant we only had one hour!!! Which included calling my parents in Samoa to tell them what is going on.

They jelled me at 3 times which I had an allergic reaction too. Then my contractions were 2 min. apart and pretty strong. I was progressing nicely so I said "lets get crackin on that epidural." It was really painful this time and my back and my right leg were sore for a week after. After the epidural all progression halted! She was not even going to give pitocin... They started on a small drip.

The Doctor came in at 10:45am and broke my water. At 3:35pm he came back I pushed a couple times and at 3:40 pm Jonas Squire Lopez was born.

I was really nervous, he was SO blue. I just kept saying, "he is so blue!" and he didn't cry for awhile. They said he is ok they came and scrubbed him and he started crying this deep cry. Both of my boys are basses.

Trevin LOVES HIS BROTHER! He wants to hold him all the time and can not be left alone for a second with Jonas due to all of the loves. He insist on holding him over his shoulder.
