Life as a mother of 4

Coming into this whole mother of 4 thing, I thought that it would be pretty overwhelming. I didn't know how we would function. I am not saying that it has been easy, but we are alive and functioning!! Thanks to some amazing people who been a huge blessing and help. While I was in the hospital we were fortunate enough to have our Sister in law, Tina here helping us for the entire week. I seriously don't know what we would have done without her. I am pretty sure the only reason we survived the hospital stay so well, was because of her and my not having to worry about the other kids. Such a blessing!! We have also had a ton of help from people in our wonderful ward. They have brought in meals, provided rides for the kids and been here to help hold Camden right when I was about to break down because he just needed some love and someone to hold him, and I couldn't do that. The Lord has truly blessed us through all of this and I know he is aware of our family and the things that we need. 

We have also been blessed with a VERY sleepy baby. She has to be woken up every 3 hours to eat and at night, Geoff feeds her at 10:30, she wakes up about 3 am, and then I wake her up at 7:30 to feed her before we head out to take kids to school and such. She is hardly ever awake. It takes alot for us to get her to open those little eyes. I feel rested and blessed that I do not feel completely exhausted each morning. Life has basically carried on as normal, besides that fact that I can't really lift Camden and he is a little emotional about life lately. (He has some serious jealousy issues!)

 Here are my 3 beautiful girls. These girls love little Brynlee. They are finally starting to remember her name! It has only taken 2 weeks!! HAHA

 This little guy is getting a free ride from dad in a bag. He thought that this was pretty fun!

 He has also been busy getting into things. I was wiping down the table after dinner one night and left the dishwasher open. When I turned around, this is what I found.

 He has unloaded about half of the silverware. Silly little guy.

 For family night we decorated gingerbread houses. (I bought the kit after Halloween on clearance, hence the Halloween colors!)

 The girls loved it and couldn't wait to start eating them!

The final products! They immediately began eating them. 

 My aunt who lives about an hour away, also took a couple of days off of work to come and help us out. She kept Camden busy playing with the nativity, while we decorated the houses.

 Here is the little princess snoozing away while we all were busy making houses.
