Noahs New Hobby!!!

Watch out Tony Hawk.....here comes Noah Patterson!!!!

Ben downloaded a game on the iPhone called Stickman Skate(I think thats the name) and Noah has been addicted to that game ever since!!!! So that started it, but then when we went to Louisiana to bless Natalie and attend our niece, Laurens wedding, Noah picked up my brother Micheals skateboard and started copying to moves he saw on the iPhone game!!!! We were all suprised by his balance and skills on something he has NEVER seen before except for on a phone!!!!

So now Noah is a skateboarding fool!!! I immediately ordered him a skateboard and he LOVES that thing!!!! He can do an ollie(sp?) and he learned it from the iPhone!!! He is AMAZING!!!! So we are looking for someone to teach him or even a class at BREC, but we are glad that he knows that he can do anything he wants to do!!!!

Till next time.......Thats All FOLKS!!!

Change isn't always good, BUT this time it is!!!

Sooooooooooo..................Its been a month since I have written a BLOG!!! Why you may ask! Well the name of that reason....Natalie Rose!!!! Yeah!!! For those that don't know(i don't know how, since her pics are EVERYWHERE) but just in case she is here and perfect!!! Lets rewind.....

So I had been having problems at the end of this pregnancy with contractions but no dialation!!! I went into the hospital on May 14 in the early evening with serious contractions, but of course when I got there, there was no change....NOT a suprise. So they strapped me in to be monitered and I was having crazy contractions BUT nothing to show for it. They offered morphine and everything imaginable to stop the contractions, but i refused b/c if she was to come there was no stopping her. So by Sunday morning when contractions hadn't stopped they gave me three choices....1. Continue to lay there in pain until it goes away, 2. Take a shot of morphine and go home or 3. Have her at 38 weeks against doctors orders. Those were our choices. We told them to let us have time to think about it. So what did we do? We took it to the Lord. Ben gave me a blessing and we said our prayers. In that blessing, Ben blessed me and Natalie that "we would both be fine with the decision that we were going to make" and that part of the blessing kept being repeated in my mind b/c the next thing i heard was "Amen", and I knew what was the best for us. So we told the doctor and the nurse we were going to have Natalie. After a couple of crazy comments by the doctor like, "I hope this baby is going to be ok" and other snide remarks, we were preped and ready to go.. I was taken into surgery at about 12:45pm, where I had warned Ben that when I get that spinal tap i might say a couple of not very choice words....and by the time I said that the anethist said I was ALL done!!!! I didn't even feel it!!!! And at 1:15pm there was the sweet screams of little Natalie. She weighed in at 7lbs 14oz and was 20 inches long....the smallest and shortest kid I have delivered!!!

A month later she is a great blessing and addition to our home!!! She is adored by her brothers, who everytime she enters the room is bombarded with kisses and hugs. She sleeps and eats on a almost perfect schedule. The little booger gained 2lbs in 2 weeks and now weighs a whopping 9lbs!!! And her blue.....yep blue eyes hasn't changed but seem to be sticking around for a little longer!!!!

I am so very blessed to be a Mommy to this little girl and 2 great little boys, who amaze me more everyday!!!


Until next time......Thats All Folks!!!!
