Can you believe my baby girl is 10 years old today? I can't either, I remember like it was yesterday giving birth to her. She woke me up this morning wanted to open her presents like it was Christmas Day. Where has the time gone? I want to keep her small, I want to keep her innocent, but I am afraid that she is developing more and more into a young lady everyday. Here is a little bit of background info on the day she was born......
It was later in the night on the 27Th that I was feeling my belly tighten, I had no idea that these were in fact contractions. I lay ed down because I was tired, but couldn't sleep because of the tightening. So I just lay ed there, and rested. Later on about midnight they started getting stronger and to the point that I couldn't lay down anymore, so I started pacing the floor. My parents had gone to bed and I was the only one up. Finally Clint woke up my parents to let them know what was going on and I still insisted that we stay home for a while to see what happens. My mom and dad were just watching me pace the floor, until it got to the point that the contractions started getting painful. My dad insisted that we not have a home birth and maybe would be a good idea to get me to the hospital. As we were driving the contractions started coming faster and were not fun, I was trying to breath and focus, but man that was difficult to do. When we got to the hospital they checked me and I found out that I was in labor, she was coming. My primary Dr. was not on call that night, and I was determined to wait for him. I was having a hard time because it was painful and my mom and cousin talked me into an epidural (of course with a huge fight, with me crying, because I was such a baby about needles). When the epidural was inserted, it didn't kick in fast enough and a huge contraction hit me. Needless to say the poor anesthesiologist almost got his arm broken because I wasn't feeling better after I let him stick this huge needle in my back. He then administered the meds and wow oh wow, I was in heaven, didn't feel a thing. I even took a nap! Thank God for Drugs (legal ones of course). I lay there letting them check me telling me that I am progressing and that she will be born soon. My dad, my brother Justin, Mom, and Cousin Brandy sit waiting, waiting, and waiting, all night long, in those uncomfortable hospital chairs all night long. They did so well! At about 6 AM in the morning they finally give me the okay to push, so I start and then they tell me to stop that the Dr needs to be paged because she is coming. At 6:36 Am my Dr runs in to catch Jaycee Jordan Hedberg! He got on call at 6:30 Am and 6 min later she was born. What an awesome Christmas present. They brought her back to us in a stocking, with a little hat on. She was 7 1/2 lbs and perfect...... Now 10 years later she is no baby, actually a little woman!!
Happy Birthday baby girl! I love you so much and am truly bless to have you as my daughter!

PUG update again!
Yeah Lola is finally home, she is doing so well. We got news on Tuesday night that we could pick her up, under certain restrictions. She is on oral antibiotics and pain meds and has to go back in 5 days to be checked out again. Justin and Karenza are taking awesome care of her, he has to carry her up to the couch and off, also down the stairs because he doesn't want her jumping or over doing it. Its so cute watching them, he even sleeps on the ground with her because he doesn't want her jumping on or off the bed. We also went to see the puppy again. Isis is doing really well, she is chunking out pretty good, Traci is making sure to feed her alot and stimulate her often. Isis is getting pretty spoiled, kinda like a newborn, she doesn't want you to put her down. I know they are very loved and I am so happy they are both now healthy. Just waiting for one day that they will be together.

Lola the Pug and Puppy Update
My brother is such a great daddy! He went to visit Lola when he got into town and then again last night and spent a couple of hours with her. He got her to eat a full bowl of food and took her out to go potty, he even brought Lola's nurses some donuts to give them a sugar fix and to tell them how thankful he is for them taking such great care of her. Lola is doing very well, she is still on IV fluids and antibiotics, but I think it really brings her up to see Justin. We are going to go see her today again and see what the game plan is. Justin and Karenza got to also snuggle with the little puppy last night for a little bit and they are thinking of naming her Isis after the Greek Goddess. Here is some info about what the name means:
Isis or in original more likely Aset (Ancient Greek: Ἶσις) was a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world. She was worshiped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the matron of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden, and she listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats, and rulers.[1] Isis is the goddess of motherhood, magic and fertility.
The goddess Isis (the mother of Horus) was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky, and was born on the fourth intercalary day. At some time Isis and Hathor had the same headdress. In later myths about Isis, she had a brother, Osiris, who became her husband, and she then was said to have conceived Horus. Isis was instrumental in the resurrection of Osiris when he was murdered by Set. Her magical skills restored his body to life after she gathered the body parts that had been strewn about the earth by Seth.[2] This myth became very important in later Egyptian religious beliefs.
Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children from whom all beginnings arose. In later times, the Ancient Egyptians believed that the Nile River flooded every year because of her tears of sorrow for her dead husband, Osiris. This occurrence of his death and rebirth was relived each year through rituals. The worship of Isis eventually spread throughout the Greco-Roman world, continuing until the suppression of paganism in the Christian era.
That being said I think its perfect for that little girl puppy. He picks awesome names that mean a lot and it took him a while to come up with this because he wanted her name to be perfect.
The Dr. said this morning that Lola is doing well and they are going to do blood work again at 6 PM tonight and then we will go from there if she can come home or if she will have to stay another night. Just waiting but we want to make sure we do what is best for her and the puppy regardless of the cost. I love you bud, and I am so thankful that you take such good care of her. I wouldn't want her in better hands than you! I know that this is so hard for you, but just know that you always have her best interest in mind and you are such a wonderful daddy.

Ready for Christmas!
Bring it on, every thing is wrapped, sealed and ready to deliver. I am so excited this year for the girls. I know I do go way overboard and they get alot but hey it only comes once a year right? Even though the girls could be better through out the year Santa still makes his visit. The kids are stoked and I know that I shouldn't have put any presents under the tree, because little Amaya everyday asks if she can open them. She doesn't yet understand why. They are just a tease for her.
As for another thing that we are hoping for this Christmas is the health for Lola dog to come back. This little pug has had a rough couple of days. She had a litter of puppies (7 Total), and it was over a course of 2 1/2 days. I was begging for them (my brothers dad) to take her to the vet and find out if she is okay and everything came out. Her puppies kept dying and they had no explanation why. Well I did talk to Traci (who is very knowledgable about puppies and animals) and she advised me that lola needed to be looked at and also all the puppies checked out. I told this to Justins dad and he advised us he knew what he was doing. Well the puppies just kept dying, by Sat there were only 4 puppies left and one was pretty much lifeless. He was pretty much the biggest jerk when we showed up at the house looking to see Lola and the puppies, it was his wife at first that told us absolutly not that we couldn't see them and today wasn't a good day, come back another day. My mom however wasn't taking this answer very well and persisted. So here comes her ex to the door acting like an ass and looked straight at me telling me that " I needed to calm down", umm okay I didn't really say anything in the first place. Finally my mom begged and they let lola out and we did get to see her. Dan (brothers dad) finally let us in to see the puppies, and thats how we discovered their condition. I asked him if she was going to die and he said " No, She isn't going to die" really rudely. Needless to say when I left I was really upset and said a bunch of stuff I really didn't mean.
On Sunday we got the text that two more babies had died, we were now at only two living puppies. I was furious, I was throwing a fit and telling them to hand over the dog and the two puppies so I could get them to the vet. Finally Justin talked his dad into giving them to my mom. When my mom came to pick them up they called her every name in the book and then shoved the box that had the 3 of them in it at her and almost made her fall down the stairs. We got them to the Vet and after a finally review found out that poor lola is extremely sick. They took out her uterus and found out that it was about to rupture in two separate places and if she would have stayed one more day she would have died. They also found out that by being so sick she also had a leakage in her abdomen that they were worried about an infection. She is at the Animal Hospital, cut open with IV antibiotics and IV fluid, while Traci is bottle feeding her last puppy and trying to get it healthy. They are worried about Lola developing Sepsis so they are keeping her another night. I am furious, I don't even know what I would say to Dan if I had the chance all I know is right now I totally hate him, I don't think HATE is a strong enough word for how I feel. I just hope that he really feels bad for creating this and all he had to do is spend 30$ and 1 Vet visit later to find out that this all could have been avoided by a c-section!!!! Over 1600$ later and on full support, we are praying she makes it through this without getting sepsis! Please pray for Lola and her puppy!

Wonderful Winter Storm!
We thought that on Sunday we were going to be able to hang out watch football, maybe play in the snow and just chill, yeah that all turned around when we woke up to discover that the winter storm had knocked down a bunch of tree branches all over our driveway. We had this huge willow tree in our front yard, actually it was so big that it was our house marker. We told everyone who was coming over to our house just to look for the white house with red trim and it had a huge umbrella looking tree in the front. So much for our marker! Here is how the story goes: On Saturday night we came into our driveway to find some branches hanging, not broken just hanging really far down. The weather didn't get cold enough to drop the leaves, so it was like a car wash pulling into the garage. I hated that tree, I wished that we would have cut it down with the others last year. What a mess, so here we are on a Sunday morning calling my poor dad (who thought he would get a relaxing day) to come over with his chain saw to cut it down. Our original plan was to just cut down the branches that broke, but after we got started decided that a couple more storms and we would have another mess to clean up, so might as well cut down the entire tree. Little Amaya did come out and play in the snow for a while, until she got too cold and went inside to entertain herself. She was a little trooper, she stayed inside for like 2 hrs just peeking outside once in a while to make sure we were still there. My mom came to get her so that she could play and not have to be by herself. Just like I said before, my parents and in laws are the best, there is no way we would be able to survive without them. There we were in the cold, cutting down this huge tree, lugging wood and sweating. Not fun, but needless to say that everyone was a good sport and got the job done. Now on the side of my house, all you can see is branches, and logs of wood all over. We look like the biggest hillbillies. Who needs to put up a fence when you have a bunch of branches blocking the side? And then I was thinking,k wow that is going to be a heaven for a bunch of mice, yep getting a cat for Christmas. I actually think that Traci would be more than happy to lend me some of hers. We just have to worry about spring time when the big dumpsters come, that is going to be another nice day of cleanup. I will post pictures soon of all the mess!

Day out with the Witches, One hot Hubby and Friends!
Our cute little family
Rhandie trying to convince Madison that swimming is not an option!
Man this guy is one sexy hunk!
Little posers especially that little one on the left
I am kind of contradicting myself, I hear Christmas music on the radio and it drives me crazy, however my Christmas lights are up on my house and I make sure to turn them on every night. Weird, yes, but I still feel like time is running out and it will be here before you know it. Its kinda like the feeling of going shopping on Halloween and seeing Christmas stuff up at the stores and all the Halloween stuff is marked down. Hello, its still Halloween time and it hasn't even passed yet. Or going shopping in the middle of summer and the stores start putting out fall clothing, how are you suppose to find a swimming suit when all that's there is long sleeved shirts and pants. I just don't get it, maybe they are a little too antsy and want to put all the stuff out immediately.
It will be Turkey time soon and I am excited!
Hubby is cooking at our house this year and he is such a wonderful cook.
He really wants a TerDukIn (Turkey,Duck,Chicken) all in one, I have never had one so it will be interesting. However I do love turkey and chicken, the duck part and I not sold on yet.
I will help him with the sides, so anything out of a box I can make. And of course the awesome Costco pumpkin pie, if you haven't had one of these you are missing out. I do miss the really chocolate cream cheese pie that my Aunt Sherry makes too, so maybe I will have to venture out of my box recipes and make this one this year.
The thing I am really going to miss is the Black Friday with Aunt Sherry this year. Last year we had so much fun, I was totally beat when it was all over but the two of us pulled an all night er with quite a few of those 5 hr energy shots and made it to all of the places we wanted!! She is a shopper. I think that all my Idahoian family are shoppers! I love you guys and we will miss you this year. We are trying to talk Aunt Linda into a Christmas party at her house this year to get everyone together, we will see if it happens.
