I am amazed at how much has transpired in 4 1/2 yrs. Jack and I always laugh at how funny we are and at all the crazy looks we get for having these kids. Well, there is a lot of crazy in us, but without that craziness we wouldn't have these three beautiful children. It was only 2yrs. and 9 months ago that I had Everett. I was so nervous; not only was I facing being a new mom but we were moving out of our house and venturing to England. Wow, England seems like a blink. Life is amazing especially when looking back and seeing what you have accomplished.
(Everett and Me at 8 months)
We found out when Everett was 10 months old that we were expecting again. This was planned, I wanted so much for Everett to have a sibling close in age. We were thrilled beyond belief to find out it was a boy. Visions of two boys playing pirates, cowboys, and ninjas occupied my thoughts. We still owned our home in Kaysville as a rental but were living in West Jordan at Jack's parents. Around the time I was 8 months pregnant we moved down the road right next to a mink farm....good times. We had some question marks in our future as far as jobs went, but we were happy and so excited to meet our new little guy.
(Harry and Me at 8 1/2 months)
Then there was Jane. Harry was 4 months old when we found out we were pregnant again. I was so scared. Having a c-section with Harry we weren't sure how my body was going to respond. It was a long and tough road, including medical scares with Jane causing us to see a specialist regularly. Thank goodness for an amazing doctor who reassured me all along the way plus the support of a wonderful husband, family and two amazing little boys . We moved back to our home in Kaysville; Jack's job wasn't working out as planned. Jane has been an answer to so many prayers her sweet spirit has beautifully graced this home and we are all so grateful. The delivery with Jane could not have been more perfect, I still can't believe it. Through the tough and scary times there was always joy and light. Now, life with the 3 kids is so much harder than I thought it would be. I am wiped by the end of the day. Its amazing to think that my mom had 6! I am grateful for the amazing examples around me. I am so, so blessed.

you're awesome Sarah... I would have FREAKED out if I found out I was preggers after only 4 months of Layla.... And I'm always begging to get preg. So GOOD FOR YOU to handle it all with such ease and awesome attitude. Hang in there, remember that life comes in seasons. This one might be rough, but it will phase into great seasons when all your 3 oldest kids are in school and then you get to sit home with a newborn all to yourself again!
Hang in there.
You are just amazing, and such a great example of Motherhood. Your kids are lucky to have you!
I did not realize how close they actually were! 3 kids in under 3 years...it will be totally worth it, especially for them, as they get older.
What an amazing girl you are!!! Wow! You have a great family and are a great mother! Cheers to you and Jack!
