loving soccer

Quentyn is playing soccer for the 7th year and loving it but only AYSO for the 3rd year, we love soccer and watching Quentyn play makes my heart smile I love it when he does what he loves doing, although he'd rather be riding motorcyles or 4 wheelers but thats okay too.
His team this year is tied for first place and I so am hoping that they take 1st this year and then we will be on to tournamnets. Quentyn does great at playing and the team has such great spirit and helps each other out so much.
I am sad when it is over but then we are on to tackle football and who doesnt love football?

Draydyn's 6th birthday

My little man Draydyn turned 6 on March 15th, we didnt do much just had cake and ice cream that night, I didnt want to have a big party and have it all planned just incase Madilyn decided to come early, so family just came over and we opened some presents and had a good time. He was so excited he got a DSi and some money, with him nobody can leave money laying around or he gets it and sticks it in his piggy bank. So he was excited when Brandon and Julie and the kids gave him 15 bucks (he tought he was rich) Draydyn already cant wait for his 7th birthday he askes weekly when he'll be 7. He really does crack me up.

Madilyn's arrival

Madilyn Jean Slaugh finally arrived on March 29, 2010 at 6:41 p.m. when I arrived at the hospital at 7:00 am that morning they didnt have me on the schedule for an induction need I say I was not happy at all that the nurse didnt call down there and schedule me. So they finally got me started on the pitocin about 9:30 am and I was only dilated to a 2, everyone said I would be there all day and night, I kept telling everyone that she would be here by 9:00 that night, nobody was buying it. I didnt progress much during the day I was walking about every hour for 30 minutes. At 3:00 I was only a 3 so not very fast going, I was up walking around when Dr. Lewis came by at 5:30 pm when he was going home and told the nurses he really didnt want me up walking, what a bummer I thought. I was still only a 3-4 but more of a 3 at that time and he said he was going home to wax the floor, peel potatos and cook dinner and that he would see me in the morning I said whatever she will be here tonight, at that time I was rerally thinking I would never have her, my contractions werent very hard and not strong, when the family and my friend Jessica left at about 5:45 they all said it would be in the middle of the night or the next day, I still was trying to convince them all she would be here by 9. When the nurse left at 6:30 pm I was still a 4 but my contractions were getting alot stronger and harder and told her I wanted an epideral, so she said she would call the anestegiologist, well he didnt come very fast, the next nurse came in about 6:35 and I was a 5 and still no epideral, well the contractions were right on top of each other and really hurting ans so strong they said they would call Dr.Lewis and let him know well another nurse came in and checken me this was about 6:37 or so and said she would be right back and didnt say anyhting else and then Evelyn came in and checked and said I was a 10 and still no epideral and I so needed to push and so I pushed 2 times and Madilyn was finally here at 6:41 delivered by Evelyn the nurse and then Dr. Lewis came in and said what happened I said where were you at I told you shed be here by 9 and he said when I left at 5:30 you were still a 3 and then only an hour later you had her, I went from a 4 to a 10 in about 4 minutes it was totally crazy and at the time I really wanted an epideral but so glad afterwards I didnt have one, I was so glad that she was here, we didnt get any pictures of her right after she was born it went so fast. Then after Joey left to go home to the other kids 2 of my friends came to visit Cara and Tyra they helped me get to my room and cuddled Madilyn for awhile and were such great company and help I love to visit with them, love their guts!!! Madilyn weighed in at 7 lbs 3.3 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long which I think they measured her wrong becasue at 4 days she was 19 1/4 and then at her 2 wk check she wazs 19 1/2 but thats okay.
She has been so fun, but has been an adjustment for all.

Life

Okay it has been oh lets see 7 months since I posted ANYTHING and in those 7 months 5 of them I really could've stayed on top of things and posted but really there wasnt much going on, I spent most of my time on the couch or lounging around trying to keep Madilyn in till she was ready to come out. The kids have just been doing their everyday thing going to school, fighting and you know complaining as kids all do. But I love them even when they drive me absolutely nuts.

lake Tahoe

We had a family vacation to Lake Tahoe during the 2nd week of school, it was a blast and the kids enjoyed the trip.We got there on a Monday and left on Friday. Tuesday we went to the beach and rented a paddle boat and we were having a blast and then all of a sudden the waves were getting bigger and the wind was blowing, the boat started filling up with water in the back, Timberlyn and Quentyn jumped out of the boat and then it started to tip and I got out and so Draydyn and Joey were in the boat and it flipped over the top of them it was scary. Quentyn and Timberlyn swam in and got some help and Joey, Draydyn and I got on the back of one of the boats and waited for them to come and get us, because yes I dont know how to swim very well, yes, yes I know. The water was freezing cold did I say FREEZING. My camera was in the boat with us so needless to say it got wet and didnt dry out until the day before we left we went on an awesome boat ride around Lake Tahoe, it is absolutely breathtaking. It was called the MS Dixie II.

New Updates in the fam

So yes I know it has been along long time since I have updated the blog and I have no excuse really since I have been on bed rest since Sept, it is getting really really old and I wonder if I will ever get off of bedrest. We havent broadcasted it alot, but I do think it is time to tell well maybe; I am pregnant and it was a big suprise, it wasn't planned, we thought we were finished after Draydyn. Got rid of everything we had because no plans to have another one. Yes I am still trying to adjust to the idea and frankly I am a little scared. I do however believe everything will be okay one way or another.
Timberlyn is way excited and told many of the neighbors, even when I told her not to tell anyone the little turkey.Quentyn was not excited one bit, he didnt want anymore siblings and asked why we went and got pregnant and I was laughing and told him that sometimes things just happen, Draydyn had a hard time at first because the other 2 kept teasing him and telling him that he wouldn't be the baby anymore, yes he is 5 but he is still my baby, hes the best snuggler in the world, so in that sense I have enjoyed bed rest we lay and snuggle after the other kids go to school, until it is time for him to go.
I am due the end of March and I really think that this baby is a girl, sometimes you just have a hunch, I knew Draydyn was a boy 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant with him, and so I really do think that this is a girl, so I am hoping that I am right, but we will see.
