Last night my husband and i went to the hospital because of a scare, that turned out not to be a scar at all, it was all normal. well we were gone from 12am to 5am. I am still having contractions. my body is sore and i am suffering from a major tension head ache. the adventures and pain that come with motherhood. we are almost there I will be done no matter what tuesday march 1 thankfull. right now we are trying to stay relaxed, and calm, when I say we I mean me.
I think about the thoughts and feelings I had towards myself, life, and family and realize that I never thought I would have three beautiful children and that I could have enough love and care for each of them. I never thought I would get married, let alond get married to such a beautiful man. My life is full of things I never thought I would ever have, things I only dreamed about. I am so blessed, and dont have the full compassity of just how blessed I am.
life for the lenox family is great. aaron is still in school, and I am a home maker. we are this closs to getting a van yippy.

2010-10-16T10:38:00.001-07:00

So we had our altrasound yesterday. The doc says everything looks great and very healthy.
IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-10-13T11:50:00.000-07:00

The kids and i are sick with head colds I am far worst than the rest. Aaron is the only one not sick, lucky. I love fall. I love the crisp air and the warm raise from the sun, and all the colors the leafs turn. I myself am like the seasons. there are periods where I am bright and warm and others when i am growing like a flower and then there's the sick season and then there is fall, letting go of yesterday and focusing on the growths i have for tomorrow. i love fall.

2010-10-11T11:15:00.000-07:00

Things witht he Lenox Family are going well. We are very buisy with aaron being in school full time and working. and me being home with two children. We are looking for a van now to prepare for this new baby. Aaron doesnt see the kids till sunday cause hes gone the rest of the wk studiing.
Eden is talking a lot and he's running and being a boy, he is messy.
Aliya is doing school now, she has memorized all the prophets, her ABC's, and she can count to 14, she can also write her name. She is loving school. She is so smart. Starting nest yr my baby will be in sunbeams, crazy I know, time flies when your having fun or when you dont have the time and energy to look at the clock.
I will be 20 wks in a few days, my altrasound is on friday. I cant believe we are having another child. we are all great.
sorry for the long wait. there is no time anymore.

2010-03-14T13:29:00.001-07:00

sorry for the lack of putting new pictures up of the family. we have been crazy buisy. I will get pictures up asap.

2009-06-09T09:13:00.000-07:00

Aliya was having a hard time with all the new baby furniture, so we went out and got her birthday present from us early. We have been saving all year to get her a present for her birthday. As soon as she saw it she seemed over whelmed, but now we can't keep her away from it. She gets her learning dog and baby dolls and sits them at her table in one of the chairs while she sits in the other. Aliya goes to her table when she wants to be left alone, its the funniest thing, when we go near her while she is at her table she starts to raise her voice and tells us to go out, and that its hers. Aliya is learning so quick its hard to keep up. We were going to wait to give her the table until We bring home baby, but decided not to, she was really starting to act out. Instead we gave her her table and bought her another little gift that she will get up at the hospital when she come to visit baby willy, the gift will be from the baby. She is so smart and bright. Aaron and i feel so blessed to have her in our lives, and home. Aliya is the light in our home, she is always doing something goofy, and when shes not being silly she is cuddling with us. We are so blessed to have her, and so will this baby.

2009-06-09T09:00:00.000-07:00

We are moving right along with this pregnancy, we have 2 weeks and 5days until the due date. We are progressing very well. Aliya is starting to calm down a little bit, she doesn't seem so stressed out. We have made an effort to get a few things for Aliya as this new baby gets new things, so she doesn't feel so left out and its working. Aaron is almost done with finals thankfully. I am excited to have more of his time, and do things as a family. We got Aliya a table and chairs set she loves it, she does everything at her table. Well thats a rap.

2009-06-05T07:32:00.000-07:00

The baby shower has come and gone. We had a very good turn out. Many people came and gave their support. It was a good social hour. The shower wouldn't have been as great with out the help of: Aaron (my hubby), My sister Camilla, Sister Erby and her Daughters, Becki Read, jessica poe, Adam, The missionaries, My Mom, and my sister Shaylee, last but not least all the women who helped eat the Delicious deserts. Thank you. To all those who weren't able to make it we missed you.

2009-06-03T09:15:00.000-07:00

Life is a little scrambled and crazy for us at this moment. Aaron is studying for finnals this week, for next week. Aliya is having some minor difficulty dealing with all the changes right now. As for me........... I am ready to be done. Other than the stresses of school and finishing up on the small details of preparing for baby things are going very well. We are so excited to meet our son.

2009-05-30T11:48:00.000-07:00

The Lenox home is filled with business and anxiousness. We are preparing our place for the arrival of our son, which has been tiring. Aliya is starting to understand that there will be a big change so for right now she wants very little of me and all of her dad. We are very excited for Aliya to meet her brother, we are also excited to meet him. The pregnancy is coming along very well. We are progressing very well also. Aaron is very nervous that we are going to go into labor within the next two weeks because next week is his last week to study for finals and the week following is finals week. As for me I am ready to hold him and love on him now. Aliya looks and touches the baby's things and say aw, in a squeaky baby voice. I will post pictures as soon as the baby is born.

2009-05-12T18:26:00.000-07:00

One of the young women gave a talk sunday. There was one part of it that really stuck in my mind. She told a story of a boy who wrote out a list of chores he did that week, and then went on to tell his mother how much each chore was, it came out to $14.75. When the boy finished the mother then wrote out a list of things she as done for him through out his life and the sacrifices she has made for him, being his mother. The boy read it then wrote at the end Paid in full. I thought it was a beautiful story.

I love being a mother.

I enjoy sacrificing myself for my children.

It is hard at the end of the day to not be thankful to be a mother. Heavenly Father intrusted me with presoius spirits and what a blessing it has been to have them in my home.

I love watching my daughter grow and learn. she is so beautful in every way. Aliya teaches me something everday, mostly how to love unconditionally, she is so pure. Being a mother is a honor and a gift from our Heavenly Father, and I am thankful for such.

Whats new??

2009-05-12T16:37:00.000-07:00

Aliya is growing like a weed. She loves to take showers, color, finger paint, be read to, and color with chalk. Her favorite things are showers and coloring. She is talking a ton. I am so proud of her devopment in learning. She is a very sweet girl. Aaron is finishing up at CCC and is preparing to start Pre-med, we are so excited. Aaron is graduating in june with his assosiates, I am so pround of him. When he came back from his mission he was deathly ill, but went to school any ways. He got married and then added to his family with a baby. Aaron graduating is not as huge as graduating with your career, but it is a huge accomplishment he didn't know he could make. As for me, I am a stay at home mom, and prego. I am trying to servive this pregnancy with out losing an addision of my family. I am starting to nest but have nothing to nest with, I am getting stir crazy. We are very excited for our son to come. That's a rap.

2009-02-14T11:23:00.001-08:00

Aaron and I went out to dinner with my parents, it was a ton of fun. Afterward my parents and sister watched her so Aaron and I could go to the movies to watch PUSH, the movie was alright. the evening was very injoyable.

2009-02-09T16:08:00.000-08:00

Aliya never fails to amaze me. Recently my little Princess came up to me and huged me and kissed me, it is so beautiful the pure love she has, it is a love I envy to have myself. Aliya is talking a ton more, and is signing a ton also. I love that Aliya is able to learn sign language, I am able to communicate with her and meet her needs, its awsome. I think that about sums it all up.

2009-01-13T08:10:00.000-08:00

During the last two weekends my family and I have been sick. This past weekend was the most exciting. Aaron and I have finally expeienced the stomach virus with Aliya. The poor thing was throwing up every 10 minutes for 4 hours, it was heart breaking. Aliya is finally eating not much still but never the less she is eating, Aaron and I were getting a bit worried when Aliya was going on the third day and was not wanting to eat. My partner for visiting teaching Dori made a comment that she doesn't mind her children getting sich just as long as ther are not throwing up, I never understood that until friday when Aliya was sick, a cold is deffinantly cleaner to deal with.

2009-01-05T12:56:00.000-08:00

It is amazing the love that grows in a mothers heart when baring children, it is also amazing the sacrafices mothers have to make when raising children. The stresses of being a mother is the most difficult to bear sometimes, I dont know if I am doing anything right. As a mother I find the most joy in watching my daughter grow and learn.

Right now at this moment Aliya keeps replaying the same song in her story leep frog book, and I have a head ache, but it makes it all worth it when I see her singing along with it.

2009-01-02T09:48:00.000-08:00

Need I say more.

2009-01-02T09:46:00.000-08:00

Huhhhhhhhh BEAUTIFUL!!

2009-01-02T09:44:00.000-08:00

What a beautiful image. Aliya looks forward to her play time with her daddy.

2009-01-02T09:42:00.000-08:00

The process of opening one of my dads gifts

2008-12-31T10:18:00.000-08:00

Aliya wanted to play with Grandmas foamies instead of opening presents and playing with her toys.
Aliya loves sour patch kids, I hid my bag so she went to uncle Ammon to share some of his, she marched right over there and sat right on his lap.

OOPS this is over at the Lenoxs not My parents.

2008-12-31T10:12:00.000-08:00

This is the gift Grandpa and Grandma Lenox got for Aliya. She pushes it everywhere.

Cathy made up some good deserts and smack food. All of the Lenoxs were supose to all get together on Christmas Eve but everyone was snowed in so the only people who were able to make it was Tommy and Tera and of course their children (Aarons brother) and Aaron and I with Aliya, and later that evening Cathy's boys came.

2008-12-24T08:36:00.001-08:00

Aliya is learning a ton and fast. Just the other day Aliya picked up a few new words, which are: I baby (when Aaron asks wheres the baby), kitty, and hot. The new signs she does are: hurt, signing time, yes, bath, bike, and no. She has two favorite things, her signing time video and her foam book. I try to hide her siging time video in the middle of all the movies, but I can't seem to get it past her, she knows which movie is her signing time. She has learned how to get her self up into her high chair just last night, amazing. She has cut another tooth right infront on the bottom.

2008-12-23T11:01:00.000-08:00

Our christmas tree. We weren't going to get a christmas tree because we don't have the money to get a tree and the lights and the ornaments. Luckily our car got snowed in so Aarons dad had to pick him up to go to fred meyer to get some food items. Fred meyers had all there christmas trees against the side of the building and were giving them out for free, yay for us. so we managed to get some candy caines a lights that were on sale to decorate our tree.

Dead men found alive:)

Aaron thought it to be a good idea to fall backwards on the ice? dont ask i think it is a guy thing.

2008-12-23T11:00:00.000-08:00

Life for the Lenoxs has been crazy, all three of us have been sick for the last week. We are constantly going out side because we have been trying to stay stocked up with food so we are prepared just in case we get snowed in, by the way it has been snowing down here in Candy for over 7 hours, I love it, I would love it even more if I was feeling like myself :). Christmas is coming and is now just around the corner, what to do? we got our people done for the name draw, we did it yesterday, thankfully because now we are snowed in, SNOW STORM!! YAY!! My hubby gets to stay home to keep me warm with hugs and kisses and lots of cuddles.
