Destiny is our newest and most greatest joy and blessing to our little family. She is 4 months old and can not do anything to drive me crazy except poop and cry alot. lol She is such a great baby we couldn't have asked for anything better!! Chance loves her too much

I admire my husband and my children they are the greatest gift in my world and I can not ask for anything better!!!!

Random...

So this is my blog where I just start randomly telling you what I (we) done this week. For starters. Destiny got her shots yesterday Wed. and got a fever, poor baby. You could tell she just wasn't feeling good! I rubbed her back, neck, the back of her ears with Peppermint Essential Oil and yes you guessed it, her fever broke!!! She is claim and relaxed and so am I. Peppermint can be used in so many ways it truly is lovely. I love it when something helps my baby!!! Wednesday night I had a swimsuit party by Darci she owns The Pink Desert swimwear line. She has super cute swimsuits. I had a very good turn out and I will be throwing her another party. Every girl needs a modest swimsuit, maybe it's just me but you don't have to show off your body! Modesty I think is sexy!!!! Rockin Bowstars another great home business, they are custom made and homemade bows and flowers to wear with any outfit, style, of little child/infant. Perfect right!!!! Now Darci who is Pink Desert and Ryann and Kendra who are Rockin Bowstars both have Facebook pages so find off my page or look them up.!!! You will not be disappointed!!

First Hair Cut

My best friend Brooke is a hair stylist and she is awesome!!! She gave Chance a real hair cut for his first time. Now Ive had his hair cut before but it was a trim not a cut. He looks like a boy now and not my little boy, it makes me happy and sad all at the same time cuz he is growing up right before my eyes. He is such a little stinker but he is soo cute!!!! When Trent got home he turned around and said now I need a hair cut, so him and Brayson went to go get their hair cut. All my boys are cute and clean cut!! My man is a stud and my little boys are handsome. Mommy is happy ;) He won't let me get a good picture of him but he looks all grown up!

Essential Oils

Well let me introduce to you a new and extremely awesome product that I came across. DoTERRA Essential Oils they are amazing. I use past tense when I have a tension headache and Trent uses it as well. I bought a kit and it has Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Melaleuca, Frankincense, Deep Blue, Oregano, On Guard, Breathe, DigestZen. I also have bought more to add to what I already own, those are Eucalyptus,purify, Wild Orange, Clove, Lemongrass, Cypress, Slim and Sassy. Now stop looking at me like I'm crazy because they will blow your mind. THEY WORK no joke!! Back in 2009 my husband Trent got into a car accident head on. Well that day was not fun,,, So anyways he walked away from that accident and the only thing that hurt him was his hip and he still is in a lot of pain. I rub Deep Blue on his left side and he isn't in any pain. Amazing right.. I know. Well I use them for my family health. Chance was stuffy the other night and had a little bit of congestion in his nose and chest so I get up in the middle of the night and rub Eucalyptus on his chest and nose and when he got up I rubbed some more on him and it took it away. No more stuffy or congestion in his chest and nose. I rub all my kids including my husband down with Lavender before bed to help them relax and sleep. Essential Oil can help with anything. I will give you a list of how they can help.

Chance turned 2

WOW 2 years went by fast!! Two years ago I gave birth to Chance at home and in my bath tub. Yes I had a home birth. Well let me tell you my first experience for having a home birth... Margie the Midwife and Rebecca the Assistant, so it is Sunday May 17, 2009 which by the way is my due date no baby. We are in Church and enjoying ALL the lessons and I had been having contractions off and on all day. Ten minutes before Church ended I go and get my husband and tell him we need to get our kids and go home!!!! Maybe he is coming.. Nope he decided to stay in my belly a little longer AGH really Chance is already stubborn! So we go to my mother in laws house for dinner like we do every Sunday and I'm disappointed that Chance isn't here yet but all good things come to an end right? haha so when we get home we go to bed. Around 12:00pm I start having contractions and I wake up my mom and ask her to time my contractions, around 1:30am I wake up Trent call Margie and we get things rolling. Yes this is it awesome. Margie arrives, Trent's mom arrives, and I'm in the bath tub out of the bath tub, on the toilet, in bed. I went back and forth all night. Than I get the urge to push everyone is around me my water breaks than a second later here is my Chance on my chest!!!!!!!!!!! Such a blessing to our life.

The kids enjoy seeing them and getting out of Vegas. So pretty over there, I love the mountains. Smells great! Dad took us on the ferry that circled around the Lake and we even saw a castle. How cool. I didn't know Lake Tahoe had a castle did you?... It was a fun place to travel. I got of course a bunch of pictures yes I will posting them.

Jan through March update

Jan. 28, 2011 Destiny Rebecca English came into the English Home. Started having contractions off and on all day, Brayson was home with me and we went to Babies r us to pick up some things before she arrived. I kept trying to call Trent and of course no answer lol. So around 4:15 4:30 he calls,"why haven't you called me back? I've been having contractions all day... Don't freak i'm okay... But when you can get home, get home fast." He calls me back and says I'm on my way. So I relax and call my Midwife Rebecca and tell her whats going on, she says keep her posted. She calls her assistant who lives around the cornor from me guess who... Yes Katie Craig and she comes over to check on me and see the progress. She is super sweet and asks me if she can massage my belly and feet of course you can I don't pass those up haha. Love Katie and Rebecca!!!!! Sadly she missed my birth :( right as Destiny was on my chest Katie comes walking in :( I was sad about that, I wanted her to be there!!!!! Around 9pm I get up and go to the bathroom, Trent asks if I'm okay I said no my contractions are getting more intense and starting to come back to back to where I can't sleep. He gets up and starts timing them. I call Rebecca at 9:40 and tell her its time and she's on her way. I get into the bathtub and try to relax, but they were strong this time around. Rebecca arrives at 10:50 I ask to be checked I was at a 7, got back into the tub had two more contractions and bomb I scream I need to push, Trent comes running in our bedroom whats wrong, I need to push and she comes. She was born at 11:06 pm she weighed 6lbs 13oz 19 in a half inches long. 2 week appt. she was 7lbs 4oz. 6 week appt. 9lbs. She is our smallest and still super cute!!!!
