She's Here!

Payton Carolynn

A day after her due date, Payton decided to arrive! We are all home now and doing great. I think I feel so good because I'm just glad that part is over! Her delivery went really well. I started contractions around 10am that morning, went to the hospital at 3pm and was dilated to a 7. Got my epidural at 5pm (man, those things are the best invention EVER!!!) and she was born at 7:04pm. She was a whopping 8lbs 7oz (all my other 3 were 6.12 or 6.13!) and 20 in long. I couldn't believe how big she was, but I felt like she was that big! So far she is eating great and getting a lot of love from her siblings. We are so blessed!

Check out the chunky arms and fingers, that's the first thing I noticed about her.

Meeting Payton

Baily kept saying, "My Baby" when she visited.

Going Home

Chocolate Lava Cakes

I must admit my biggest craving during this pregnancy has been chocolate lava cakes. Little chocolate pieces of heaven with a fudgy center, that screams to be topped with vanilla ice cream, whip cream, strawberries, or all of the above, but I digress. I may have tried multiple recipes to find my fav and perhaps tested them on my family numerous times and with my book club last week. So here are my finalists:

#3
Pioneer Woman's

Molten Chocolate Lava Cake

Cake like and oh so good!

#2
Real Mom kitchen's
Molten Lava Cakes
The most chocolatey!

#1
Bake Space's
Chocolate and Pecan Molten Lava Cake
Loved the pecans, loved the cream cheese, skipped the fruit reduction, didn't need it. Really yummy!

So there you go all my dieting friends, good luck with that!:)

Easter Time

Happy Easter! We had a great morning looking at our baskets.
Finding eggs inside, since it looked like . . . .

. . . this outside this morning. The kids decided to play in the snow and look for bunny tracks.

Baily thought candy for breakfast was amazing!!!


We did dress up for Sunday last week since we stayed home for general conference today.

We couldn't get Baily out of her dress all day, she even napped in it!
