Lachlynn

I just have to spot light my sweet little Lachlynn. I have been so impressed with this little girl lately. She is so sweet and helpful. We took a camping trip with our family this week and Lachlynn was off playing with all the cousins. I was noticing that Victoria was lonely and misses Lachlynn. I told Lachlynn, " I think Tori misses you, because you have been playing a lot with your cousins and not a lot with her". Lachlynn didn't say a word, but walked over to Victoria and grabbed her hand and they went and played. It was the cutest thing. She is such a good big sister. I was thinking about her starting school next year and it made me cry( BAWL). I realized how fast she is growing up! It literally feels like yesterday I was holding my newborn baby girl and now she's 4! I know my days are pretty busy and crazy with 3 kids, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I wish I could keep them little for forever. I am so blessed to have these sweet little spirits in my life.

6 weeks

I can't believe Cashton is 6 weeks old already! He is such a sweet little thing. He is such a good sleeper. Since he was just born he has been sleeping at least 5 hours straight. He is pretty mellow and calm. The girls love to be with him and hold him. Lahchy is so good with him. I put Cashton's car seat by lachlynn because she will calm him down while were driving. She is a big help! Life with 3 is an adjustment. You would be surprised at the things I can do with just one hand when I am holding cash. I started teaching at the gym at 4 weeks because I have felt GREAT! This recovery has been the easiest by far! The Lord has really helped me and my little family to adjust to our new life and family of 5! we blessed Cashton last Sunday and he looked so cute. What a beautiful blessing, talked about him being a friend to others and helping those in need. Sure lucky to have him. He had a fever the other day so I had to take him into the Dr. They said everything is fine just a little cold, but they weighed him and he was 10 lbs!!! He is getting really big. So crazy to me because victoria at 2 months weighed 9lbs and Cashton at 5 weeks weighed 10 lbs! One of my favorite things about this boy is his BLUE eyes! Both my girls have brown eyes so this is a fun surprise.

Dancing girl

Lachlynn had her first dance concert a couple weeks ago. She did so good, she kept telling me how nervous she was. She got up on that stage, danced, and even smiled! After the concert we were getting into the car and she said.."Mom I liked dancing on that stage, it was fun." That's what it's all about. She wasn't sure about wearing make up, but once it was on she couldn't stop looking at herself in the mirror. I had to take a picture of her beautiful hair, it seems like yesterday she was super bald, and now look at her! I love this girl!

Cashton Denham Sheppard

Cashton Denham was born Monday afternoon, heres the story... We woke up at 6:00a.m. monday morning and headed over to Jordan valley hospital to be induced. I could not sleep very well that night, because I was just too exited. I was hooked up at about 7:30 and they checked me and I was still at a 4. I labored till about 1:00 and I started to feel like I needed to push, they checked me and sure enough I was a 10 and ready to go. I pushed about 5 minutes and he was born. I didn't even tare!!! He weighed 7lbs. 9 ounces and 19 inches long. He is very sweet! We all have been in love with this new boy in our family. When I first found out I was pregnant I was scared to death! This was not planned and I was so nervous. I received a blessing and it said that this time around things would be easier. Looking back on the pregnancy it has been easier. I was able to work out and teach all my work out classes till the very end, I wasn't sick at all, and the labor was so smooth and easy. I have had really long labors in the past and this was so much easier. I have seen this blessing come to pass, the Lord is truly watching over me and I know he loves me! How grateful I am for that :)

38 weeks

Well here is my last pregnancy post! I still remember finding out that I was pregnant and the shock that came with it. :) And now I am having my THIRD baby in just days. I went to the Dr today and they told me I am dilated to a 4! My Dr thinks I will go any day now. She also moved my induction day up to memorial day if I make it that long. I was way surprised to find out that I was that dilated, I am like a ticking time bomb now. I am so grateful for the healthy pregnancy that I have had. I have been able to teach all my gym classes, sometimes that's 6 times a week. The next post will be of our little Cashton. Wish us luck:)

Fun in the sun

The other day it was extremely hot so we went to walmart and bought a pool. The girls played and played in that thing! I love watching them play and interact with each other. I love that I had two little girls first so they could be close little sisters. I absolutely love the picture of the two of them. We are very excited to see what a little boy will bring to our lives:) 37 weeks! I has to post my exciting news. I went to the Dr last week and was dilated to a 1+ and 50% effaced! I went again this week and was a 2+ and 70% effaced. This is so exciting because with the last pregnancies I just didn't really dilate. I hope this means a shorter labor!

36 weeks

Another pregnancy post, bear with me I am almost done. Iam feeling a lot of pressure these days, feels like a bowling ball in between your legs is the best way to describe it!! I am still teaching my classes and feeling good, except every time I lunge or squat I feel TONS of pressure. I am going to the Dr tomorrow and they are going to check me, I hope all this pressure is started to dilate me some! I spent literally the whole day with my mom decorating Cashton's room. We made curtains, pictures frames, pillows, and cute little crafts. My mom is amazing at what she does. We are doing an owl theme for his room and my mom just sketched an owl on a piece of paper and then made this way cute owl pillow. I am telling you this woman has some awesome craft skills!!!
