I think its because I don't have a baby anymore. Babies do new and fun things everyday. 4,7,9, and 10 year olds? Well they are lucky to see new days. HAHAHAHAH just kidding! (kind of)<br />
<br />
Quick run down.<br />
<br />
Tyler turned four! YAY for four!<br />
<a href="http://thebakefamily.smugmug.com/Family/2012/January-2012/21005112_DqnRN3#!i=1696373746&k=kGNzD2q">Pictures are here</a><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXTg9bZlJmDBH76maCQYiyrO5oV2BsQW-dPWclXsHcyYCspmddqftA4ez5ZUy9WJ2bM6yhRjbiE6V-MjEsLScq9-HfBwuJuR0LaT6JOCRIte2Q46bPz9Q94gVheRL4d7vsUPPqyg/s1600/IMG_1175.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXTg9bZlJmDBH76maCQYiyrO5oV2BsQW-dPWclXsHcyYCspmddqftA4ez5ZUy9WJ2bM6yhRjbiE6V-MjEsLScq9-HfBwuJuR0LaT6JOCRIte2Q46bPz9Q94gVheRL4d7vsUPPqyg/s320/IMG_1175.jpg" width="239" /></a>He is still bored at home with me all day. Since I have started reading a bunch lately, we make lots of trips to the library. Our library sells donut holes for $1.25 for 15. Tyler has been eating lots of donut holes. He is spoiled. SPOILED! Since I discovered that Im madly in love with the guy Im married (Im sure I knew before, but I remembered in October) We have been going on dates for lunch during the week since its a lot cheaper than trying to go on dates at night. Tyler comes with us. Dude has eaten more fast food in his life than my other kids combined. Tyler likes to slyly tell us the car needs gas when I drive daddy to work because Daddy is a sucker and buys him donuts at the gas station. (and its called the donut store now, not the gas station) Before you get alarmed, Tyler eats very healthy snacks and meals at home, he doesn't just eat donuts and fast food. He just gets more than any of my other kids ever got. In fact he gained ZERO lbs between his 3 year well child check and his 4 year well child check (he is still 98%) Ty is officially signed up for preschool for the '12-'13 school year. He will be going the same place Kate and Drew went. We also discovered that Tyler is very afraid of black lights and fake fog (We went bowling and he was having grand old time, then all of a sudden not so much fun. Poor kid sat under the table begging to leave as soon as they turned the cosmic bowling stuff on)<br />
<br />
Dylan turned 7! SEVEN! thats only a year away from 8!<br />
<a href="http://thebakefamily.smugmug.com/Family/2012/February-2012/22242747_kBZ45X#!i=1776740672&k=GcHXxmv">Pictures are here</a><br />

We did however go to Papas pizza and he got an awesome Master Chief Cake. Dylan got to go to some taekwondo classes at school this winter. He LOVED them. He go his own Gi and he got to break a board. I don't know what else to say about him that is new. He still loves soldiers, Halo, legos, pushing peoples buttons, speaking with a very LOUD talking voice, and saying "oh man!" when anything hard is asked of him, and charming all the ladies. He is also still devilishly handsome. However he STILL hasn't lost any baby teeth.<br />

Katie turned 9! (yeah, Ive missed some birthdays)<br />
<a href="http://thebakefamily.smugmug.com/Family/2012/March-2012/22242853_twBBNR#!i=1799851730&k=ZJkTMrq">Pictures are here</a><br />

Kate got to have a dance dance birthday party this year. Because of mom and dad being out of town and then easter and other things we didn't get to party until April 14th. OOPS! We did celebrate on her birthday with a family party though. so she got two cakes! Nothing much new here either. Basketball finished, She had an entry in this years science fair, and is still doing piano. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Andrew did not have a birthday. He is still ten! YAY<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqUIKI_IhutkidtrzKyovB0c6BZUg7iLswLfy-IpGUNmvzceDXqkfZKReuUPeTgaWIJEtXI_s79eJiWYaEf-LWGmjkvcKN_WfFBvKrKEA__nDyK7ujrt0BFG3RFVNVOcx2elPTmQ/s1600/IMG_3001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqUIKI_IhutkidtrzKyovB0c6BZUg7iLswLfy-IpGUNmvzceDXqkfZKReuUPeTgaWIJEtXI_s79eJiWYaEf-LWGmjkvcKN_WfFBvKrKEA__nDyK7ujrt0BFG3RFVNVOcx2elPTmQ/s320/IMG_3001.jpg" width="240" /></a>like with the other kids, not much is new. He is still in scouts, basketball finished, and he has dropped from the 80% for weight last year to the 30% of weight this year. He has started walking home everyday from school with his friends. Its a pack of 4 boys. Im not sure how I feel about it. The walking itself doesn't bother me, but the friends are....... well...... ten year old boys (ifyouknowwhatImean).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think our biggest news comes from Kyle. Its really exciting... Its been a long time coming...It should make him feel much more loved........ drumroll please********<br />
After six years as a Sr. Production artist, he is now a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">technology manager </span>in the tech initiatives group!!!! With that comes some new responsibility and a nice little pay raise. Mostly he is doing the same thing he has been doing for the last two years, he just now has a job title that actually matches what he does. <br />
<br />

We went to a movie, went to Emerald City ComiCon, and just spent some time sans kids. (it was very nice!)<br />
<br />
News in my extended family<br />
My sister Lori is pregnant and will have baby 3 sometime around halloween. YAY FOR BABIES!!!<br />
<br />
My mom got a new knee last week. The old one went kaput, so now she is bionic grandma. She is slowly but surly recovering, but she won't be going back to work this school year.<br />
<br />
My dad RETIRED!!! I can't believe he is so grown up! One minute my dad had brown hair and was driving a bus, and next thing I know his hair is white and he is retired. My brother made a cute video to celebrate his 22 years of driving buses for TriMet.<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SgX-DQxVTJE" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
Great Grandma and Grandpa Green made a little stop here in town and stayed with us for the night. I think it was the first time they had met Tyler. Im glad my kids got to see them since we don't seem to manage to make it down to St George where they live.<br />
<br />
So much for this being short. But hey, you get what you get and you don't throw a fit right? ;)<br />

Both of them are SO, SO, SO excited. They both got a pair of basketball shoes and water bottles for Christmas, and they both have their own ball now.<br />
We are done with the second week and I do have to say that trying to figure out how to get kids to basketball twice a week (not always on the same nights, never at the same time, and sometimes not at the same school) and getting Kyle to scouts in there and me on the "no drive" list for part of a week has been..... fun. lol<br />
The first game for the both of them is next week. We are excited that they get to have this experience and we hope that we can be on the ball enough to make sign ups next year too. ;)<br />

As seems to be my current trend, I didn't take enough pictures, but we had a good time. Tyler was a super star on the plane. I didn't get as much napping as I wanted, but he didn't bug anyone else on the plane so we call it a win.<br />
Mostly we just hung out and I play lots and lots of skyrim after the kids went down for the night. I got to see Daniels christmas presentation for preschool, we had pizza night with my brother and his family, then the bouncy house one night, and back to the Ball's house for lunch after church with my other brother Chris and his family (so Kevin's family and Chris' family. It was a mini reunion) I had a great time, it was a nice little mini vacation for me. I really enjoyed seeing my siblings who I don't get to see very often.<br />

What a month that was. I tried in the beginning to keep life normal, but eventually life overwhelmed me. Hence the ending of my every day posts. I didn't stop being thankful, because I think I had more to be thankful for this year than most others, but I just couldn't keep any more balls juggling in the air. This post may be a little more information than you wanted, but it has been my life and noteworthy. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Consider yourself warned*</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span dir="ltr">We were/are DONE having kids. We have ended the "new baby" chapter of the Bake book and have gotten</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span dir="ltr"> rid of all our baby stuff. We are enjoying that we fit perfectly at our table, in our car, and in our house and we know that we're the family we were meant to be</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span dir="ltr">. In addition to the fact that we're very happy with our family size, my own personal struggles with Rheumatoid Arthritis pretty much sealed the deal that more kids would not be in my family's future. Because of my Rheumatoid Arthritis, I take a medicine called methotrexate. If you are not familiar with the medicine, it is VERY non compatible with pregnancy (in that it usually ends them). Because of all of those things, I have been using an IUD since May. There have been some issues with the IUD, but I was assured that it was doing its job just fine. Come to the last week of October and the day after my big super saturday at church I found out I was pregnant.</span></span> (this is where the sound of my jaw hitting the floor echoed throughout the North American Continent.) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the course of November I was told...</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My IUD had completely disappeared (they still have no idea where it is) but that the pregnancy was looking normal.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_pregnancy">ectopic</a> pregnancy and we would have to cause a miscarriage (ironically with the same methotrexate that I take for my RA)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They were kidding, it wasn't ectopic and that it was probably ok, but the US just looked "funny"</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was normal pregnant and things were just developing a little slower</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001907/">molar pregnancy</a></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was just a <a href="http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/blightedovum.html">Blighted Ovum</a> but that I possibly had gotten pregnant again.</span></li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To add to the fun I also had</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7 blood draws</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 Ultra Sounds</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 sets of doctors</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was just getting off of being in charge of super saturday (huge craft day at church)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Halloween with 4 kids</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I assisted in a book drive and book referb for the local children's bank</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got volunteered to be in charge of a booth at the kids Harvest carnival at school (which ended up with 7 hours at the school since they needed more help)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was in charge of all of the kid games at our church's harvest carnival</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was in charge of a semi formal christmas dinner to feed almost 100 ladies at church</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Family pictures to find outfits for and everything else that goes with making a family of 6 presentable</span></li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">At first, I was really thrown off guard that I could have possibly gotten pregnant. I was NOT ready for a #5. But within a week, when it set in that I indeed was pregnant, I couldnt help but fall in love with #5. The following month of "yes you are, no you aren't" was really very difficult to wrap my head around. It was really hard to keep hopes up against all odds. Emotionally draining does not even begin to describe what those 5 weeks were like.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #33cc00;"> </span></span>When I actually miscarried during the week of Thanksgiving I was almost thankful because it finally meant a concrete answer after a five week roller coaster of emotions. So by the time the pregnancy ended I had mourned the loss of the baby twice by then and was emotionally empty- so mostly I only had the physical aspect of it to deal with at the time. (which Im trying to think of as a blessing. Silver linings right?) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So there we go. Im trying to take a deep breath and get prepared for the crazy that is the Christmas season. Thankfully I have nothing big on my plate for the next month (other than buying presents since I haven't gotten a single one yet)</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want to give a massively huge THANK YOU to everyone that dealt with my crazy, gave me a shoulder to vent/cry on, brought dinners, watched my kids, and in general gave me support. I also want to apologize to anyone who felt left out for not knowing. I never had a solid answer to give people so we didn't really share, and once we had a solid answer I just want to wash my hair of it and put it behind me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So we don't end on a totally depressing note</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a random picture from November- Kate Marching in the Macy' Thanksgiving Day parade in Downtown Portland with the local high school's Color Guard. </span><br />

The guidance I have received, the friends and relationships I have built, and my own personal relationship with God is all hugely based on what I have learned at church or through other church members.<br />

I am hugely thankful for my country's Armed Forces. Those who have fought and died to keep us free and to aid others. Their sacrifice is huge almost beyond measure. I really truly appreciate those women and men with my whole heart.<br />

It can still be pretty clueless, but so much better than the bleeding and such that they did in the middle ages. I casually like to think how I would have been fine back in the middle ages, and then I think about it more and I realize that Andrew probably wouldn't be around (tried to come at 31 weeks) Even then he would have been fairly badly scrambled with the billiruben that he and ALL his siblings would have had. Dylan wouldn't have done well, his first APGAR was 4 and had sky high billi levels and that is just a surface scratch.<br />

Sadly we aren't all together very often. Last time was Summer of 2009 and before that was summer of 2006. I was a horrible sister as a kid, but as Ive grown older Ive gotten smart enough to realize my luck. We live hours and hours apart yet Im able to chat with them everyday. I count them both as my BFFs.<br />

Sounds like a weird thing to be thankful for right? <br />
My house had seven rose bushes in the front yard when I moved in. I <strike>destroyed</strike> removed two of them last year. Axes and a sledgehammer were involved- It was hard work! Kyle brought me home a bunch of tulips from Amsterdam this summer and I want to plant them, but they are going where the rose bushes are. So I had to remove all but one of the remaining six bushes. I went to town on the first one- the one next to the driveway, but after digging and hacking with one of Kyles outdoor knives I couldn't get it to budge. I couldn't find the ax so I put it on the back burner and moved on to the next three bushes. The Soil in front of our front window has always been very loamy and soft. I started digging and the bush started wiggling! YAY! So I rocked it and dug some more and just PULLLLLLED! The entire freaking bush came out!! (happy dance!!!) In less than ten minutes of work! the roots were a little rotten so they broke easily. The front of our house is now nice and ready for tulips. So I am very thankful for slightly rotten rose bushes that made an afternoons worth of work SO MUCH EASIER.<br />

We headed up to my parents church for their trunk or treat. My mom always helps us out with costumes, so I thought I would let her see them in person. We followed with Trunk or treating at our own church so the kids could see their friends. Kate was super girl, Andrew Mario (my mom made his overalls and I made the hat-which Im quite proud of lol)Tyler was dead set on being batman even though our batman outfit is two sizes too big and Dylan is wearing his army "BDUs" that we got for him (battle dress uniform) Im pretty sure we are going to have to cut the BDUs off him once he grows out of them. He is SO excited about them. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Its Adobe's big conference of the year where it has classes and shows off all the products new tricks. Kyle went last year and got to go this year too. With Kyle's trip to Amsterdam this summer, he had a mess of frequent flier points waiting to be used, and the hotel he stays at is double occupancy whether there are two people there or one. So my darling husband got the grand idea of taking me with him. My sister Lori has won the "ALL TIME BEST SISTER OF THE YEAR AWARD." She brought her two kids down and watched my kids so that I could go spend four days in LA. We flew out Sunday morning and landed at lunch time in LA. The conference didn't start till sunday night so we had some time to just hang out and enjoy the hotel. We got to stay at the <a href="http://www.thebonaventure.com/">Westin Bonaventure</a> in the heart of downtown LA. Sunday night we had planned to meet up with a friend from our Gaming site. They were coming up to DT and we were going to walk to get them. (We had a rental car, but they have Valet only parking and I was intimidated lol) We start walking down the street and I see a SWAT truck. I kind of giggled to myself about getting to see the "real LA" and then I took a closer look. It was a GOTHAM CITY swat truck! SQUEEEEEEEEEE! Walk down the street a bit further and we see Gotham City police, a gotham city bus, and when we walked back to our hotel there was some Gotham city something something on the side of our hotel. So that was a bit of fun. We did end up meeting our friend, but we had to walk down to Nokia live because our entire little section of downtown LA was shut down for filming.<br />

Monday I drove out to the valley and met my friend Sheri for lunch. We have known each other on the internet for 6 years and I count her a good friend. However this was the first time we met face to face lol. I was quite proud of myself for driving all the way out there on my own and not getting lost or crying when trying to park on Ventura blvd.<br />
I would also like to give mad props to the internet at this point. I have never stayed somewhere with mandatory valet parking, so I really had no clue how that whole thing worked with the tipping and such. Thankfully the internet informed me so I didn't have to feel like an idiot.<br />
Monday night was the big social at AdobeMAX where all the vendors have their booths showing off their products that work with/for/along side of Adobe products. It was fun to see what the industry was cranking out.<br />
<br />
Tuesday I was a slob and did NOTHING. It was glorious. I found a convenience mart and bought some donuts, a soda, and a cheesy book and read ALL.DAY.LONG. Perfect day for Becky.<br />

Kyle got me a social pass so I could go. Can I just say that Adobe really knows how to throw a party! Best of all the party ended with the band Weezer playing. We were probably 15 feet from the stage.<br />
<br />
Wednesday was really tame. I slept in, read some more and then checked out of the hotel at Noon and hung out at the convention center for a couple of hours until Kyle got done with his final class and then we headed off to the airport to fly home.<br />
<br />

I really needed some recouping time and it did wonderful things for Kyle and my relationship. Nothing was bad before hand, but there is something about spending time together sans kids that really helps things be happy.<br />
<br />
Another huge thanks to my parents for helping with the kids on sunday, Lori for watching the kids all week, and my friend Jeni for watching the kids wednesday night so lori could go to bed in her own bed wednesday night.<br />

He was a super star and did great, however the polishing stuff upset his tummy and he ended up puking in the waiting room (thank goodness for my super powers of observation, because I saw what was going to happen soon enough to get a garbage in front of his face in time) The puking however ruined the dentist for Tyler. He was quite scared this time and it took some cajoling to get him to sit in the chair. We did get him to finally cooperate and his little teeth looked great. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7QVf1F9gio3otsmMgJLVaaXMDbGtP8WdX5zkYz00xe4SuycqVLgJKz-ZUdr8FlnuQ5LjrttBR9N5UC_vXoViT-EHSX-EebmOKZMOJwZ7MHbHdptRNQt2AM6iNCiOr-YXXwjGAxg/s1600/IMG_0776.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7QVf1F9gio3otsmMgJLVaaXMDbGtP8WdX5zkYz00xe4SuycqVLgJKz-ZUdr8FlnuQ5LjrttBR9N5UC_vXoViT-EHSX-EebmOKZMOJwZ7MHbHdptRNQt2AM6iNCiOr-YXXwjGAxg/s640/IMG_0776.jpg" width="476" /></a>Our Dentist office is awesome and got all four kids in at once. It was a good visit with no one having any cavities. (Kate has only ever had one tiny one, Dylan has never had any and Andrew has only had cavities on one visit) I have HORRIBLE teeth. (thanks for those genes Mom) so Im giddy excited every time we manage another kids dentist visit without anyone having any. I need to get Andrew in to see an orthodontist (no surprise there) But on a whole, we left the office smiling. Well, except for Dylan, he was sad because he still doesn't have any loose teeth. </div><br />
