It's been forever since I've done a 10 on 10 post! I love having these little details to look back on. This week I accidentally thought that Wednesday was the 10th so I took all my pictures then. I don't know where my brain's at half the time. Life with little ones I suppose!</div>

9ish - had my bestie over for a paydate. Every Wednesday we get together with our combined 6 kids, drink coffee, and watch 19 Kids and Counting. One of my favorite days of the week :)<br>

I allowed myself a little hope - this is the most I had ever been dialated at 40 weeks pregnant. Maybe, just maybe, this baby would come before my traditional '5 days past due' babies? (Ha.)<br />

I spent the next few days walking and staying busy (even going to my Zumba class!). 5 days past due came and went. I still felt good, was pretty comfortable and was toying with the idea of allowing myself another week to go into labor. After careful consideration though, Ryan and I decided that we should schedule an induction at 1 week overdue, Tuesday November 12.<br />

Eeeeearly on the 12th at 1am we received the call to head in to the hospital. We arrived around 2am and got settled in. Around 4am I was checked and found to be 4 cm and 80% effaced AND was having mild contractions 7-10 minutes apart. However, Gavin's heart rate was dropping during contractions so I was given oxygen and rotated laying from side to side. We proceeded cautiously and I just rested for the next few hours.<br />

Around 7am I was given a low dose of Pitocin. Around 8 I received an epidural from a very nice anesthesialogist who really hit it off with Ryan. He also had a med student with him so the whole process was painfully slow while he explained in excruciating detail what he was doing. The epidural itself wasn't too painful, thankfully. I think it was 9 or so before Dr. Grier arrived and broke my water (6cm now) and I dialated steadily over the next few hours. I was ready to push at noon on the dot and Gavin Micah was born at 12:16pm! He was 9lbs 14 oz (!!!!!) and 22 inches long. I held him on my chest for the longest time just talking to him and looking at him and letting it all in. Ryan and I were thrilled that he was finally in our arms!</div>

As far as pregnancy symptoms, as per my other pregnancies, I feel pretty good! I have no actual side effects that really bother me. I had mild nausea here and there in the first trimester but never threw up. Surprisingly, I have also been less exhausted than I was with my boys! They both still take a nap in the afternoon so I lay down and rest and 15 minute power nap is enough to get me through the day. I'm so thankful for easy pregnancies! Who knows what kind of pregnancy I would have if it was a girl, I'd probably be sicker than a dog, ha!</div>

After a fun morning of Zumba I headed to the mall with Ruth and my boys. She captured these shots of my boys loving on me. When Ryan got home from school we went out for a night on the town with Jeff & Ruth. Carrabba's for dinner (shocker) and then to see Man of Steel (laaame). Unfortunately I didn't get any pics that night. We were too busy having fun!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to laugh one Sunday this month because after we got to church I realized that both of my boys were a hot mess. Owen had put his shorts on backwards and was wearing 2 different shoes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Austin already had a goose egg on his forehead from the day before (an unfortunate run in with the refrigerator) and then as he was running into church he fell and got a bloody lip. This picture was taken several hours after the swelling had gone down. Oh well, at least we made it to church!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-MxG732s1c-Q/UajyGbZC1XI/AAAAAAAAFEY/9o4XXfb0dig/s640/blogger-image-1274981880.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-MxG732s1c-Q/UajyGbZC1XI/AAAAAAAAFEY/9o4XXfb0dig/s640/blogger-image-1274981880.jpg" /></a><br />

He won't want to snuggle with me forever. So grateful I have 2 very affectionate boys. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our weekends have been pretty eventful the past few weeks. A few Saturdays ago the power went out randomly in our neighborhood right in the middle of the day. The boys both woke up from their naps when everything turned off and came and went back to sleep in my bed. I admit, it was nice to have them to snuggle with! (They never sleep in our bed!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When they woke up I put a movie on on my laptop. The power came back on a few hours later just as we were packing up to go to Nana and Papa's house to swim!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then this last Friday, right before the 3 day weekend, our AC went out. It's around 100 these days in AZ so it was... unpleasant to not have AC! And nobody could come fix it until Tuesday because of the holiday. Finally on Wednesday we had someone come out and actually fix it. That was a looong 6 days but we made the best of it hopping between friends and family, swimming, shopping, anything to keep us out of the house!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last week was Owen's last day of school. Doesn't he look so much bigger now than last August??</div>

Speaking of dates, Ryan and I went on a double date to celebrate Jeff's birthday. We had dinner at a pub and then to see the new Iron Man 3 which I LOVED. </div>

The day after Mother's Day, May 13th, was our 7 year anniversary! We celebrated at Carabba's, my favorite restaurant. If I had a pick a "last meal", this would be it. The lobster ravioli is to die for. Mmmmmmm. Ryan did not help me clear this plate one bit, it was allll me :)</div>

I guess I didn't really make an official announcement on here, but, we're pregnant! I'm 11 weeks now and we have a due date of November 5th. However, both of my boys were born 5 days past their due date so I'm really thinking we'll meet this baby on November 10th, haha. I'll do a separate pregnancy post soon. </div>

I'm all about quick and easy recipes lately since my energy level is, well, low. This recipe for <a href="http://pedersenfood.blogspot.com/2011/05/chicken-ranch-tacos.html">chicken ranch tacos </a>was a hit at our house. It's going on our rotation!<br />

Speaking of quick and easy, I whipped up these 4 ingredient peanut butter cookies last weekend. They were really good!<br />

Boy, parenting is not for the faint of heart. Yesterday the boys were bored and getting into trouble and I just knew I had to drop what I was doing and get us out of the house. We headed to the park for a bit and it was just what we needed. I captures this picture of Owen talking to a "big kid" in his adorable, shy way and was reminded what a sweet, precious, handsome kid he is.<br />

Friday afternoon my "nephews" (Luke and Joel) came over. We had so much fun having snacks, playing with <a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/07/kids-week-edible-playdough-and-finger-paint/">peanut butter play doh</a>, splashing in the pool and having brownies during our Peter Pan movie night.<br />

I got a cute ring in the mail today. There's this great shop I came across on Instagram (I'm NaeMaeLynn) called <a href="http://www.splendorshop.com/">The Splendor Shop</a> and sometimes she has these "Insta-sales" so I grabbed this beauty for $6 shipped. It's a great pop of color for my monochromatic wardrobe!<br />

Ahh, naptime. I close the blinds, catch up on blogs, did a little planning for Austin's birthday party, and watched Dan in Real Life. I tried to get a little cat nap in but a certain somebody didn't take a nap so I couldn't risk it. Coudn't afford to have a whole roll of toilet paper flushed down the toilet while I was snoozing (true story).</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Whew, taking a few weeks off of blogging always comes back to bite me. I have lots to catch up on and probably the longest Insta-Friday of all time. However, my absense is not without good reason. We bought a house and moved 4 days before Christmas, and then early January Ryan started the MBA program at ASU. He studies hard and often and I have just been worn out at the end of the day!</div>

I have had Christmas withdrawals. I do every year but this year was especially hard because with moving we didn't have nearly enough free time to enjoy the holidays as much as I'd like. I didn't put everything away until after the New Year. </div>

Austin is full of personality. He's also quite a comic. You should hear some of the conversations we've had lately!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: "Austin, please say out of the kitchen. You may go play outside or in the play room, what would you like to do?"</div>

Austin: "Ummmm..... APPLE JUICE!"</div>

Our walks lately consist of Owen riding Austin's 10" bike (instead of his perfectly good 16" bike) and Austin riding Owen's scooter. When you have boys just a little over a year and a half apart, everything is pretty much interchangeable. </div>

I made home made salsa for the first time. It was easy, delicious, and I will definitely be making it again soon. Even better with Tostito's Cantina Thin & Crispy Chips.

I call this my "shelf of death". It's where my warm, yummy cups of coffee go to die. I'll be sitting in my chair with coffee and something/someone will need my attention and I'll get up and set my coffee here, only to get distracted and find my cup there some time later, cold and yucky.</div>

Picking out my outfit for the day. I like to have several outfits with accessories ready to go so busy school mornings I can just grab and go without thinking! Funny story though: I had picked this outfit to wear, but right before I got dressed Owen needed my, ahem, attention and it made us run late for school. I ended up throwing on my Mickey Mouse sweatshirt and jeans to drop him off at school, and changed into this outfit later. Ha!</div>

I often feel like a mom version of <i>If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, </i>or rather<i>, </i>my version<i>, If You Give Danae a To-Do List. </i>I should do a post someday about the process of getting completely distracted from my current task to do another one. It's really quite funny.<br />

It's been a few weeks since I've posted so I have a lot of pictures to share!<br />

We've been to the library a couple times. Here's Austin when I took him to storytime while Owen was at school. He gets really into the hand motions of the songs, if you couldn't tell.<br />

Austy and I have enjoyed our 1 on 1 time while Owen's at school. Even if it does include standing in the toy isle at Target pushing the display toy buttons 938,494,836 times ;)<br /><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZOR1UvmRenU/ULqHYdjM8_I/AAAAAAAAE2k/x74v5j3UiL4/s640/blogger-image--1956567007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZOR1UvmRenU/ULqHYdjM8_I/AAAAAAAAE2k/x74v5j3UiL4/s640/blogger-image--1956567007.jpg" /></a></div>

Tara snapped this picture of us Thanksgiving evening right while we were Black Friday shopping - our tradition continues! We hit Toys R Us a bit before 8pm, and then proceeded to shop at Target, Kohl's, Bath & Body Works and Walmart. I went to bed a bit before 4 the next morning. Totally worth it, got some great deals and wonderful sister time!<br />

We along with the McFaddens went to see Zoolights. We all loved it, and bonus, I got some cuddle time with Austin while we watched a light show.<br />

Last Friday night, me + a beer. And I don't even drink! It was a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day. I don't want to talk about it ;) On a positive note, I'm loving having our tree up!<br />

Saturday night we invited my in laws over for egg nog, hot chocolate, yummy treats, and Elf. It was a wonderful night, I hope we have many more nights like this!<br />

<br />
<br />
And just when I thought my week couldn't get more eventful (more on that in a later post), Owen left the faucet on last night and it flooded the bathroom, hallway, etc. Ryan headed out to buy a wetvac and Doug came over to help us clean up. Friday nights are not good to us lately ;)<br />

<br />
Ryan starts his new job today. He's been home for 2 weeks in between jobs and while it was nice, it also feels good to be back in the swing of things. As much as I adore him, his being home kinda throws off my groove ;)<br />
<br />
Owen has his 4 year check up today (ahem, a month and a half late). He is getting 4 shots. He is <i>not</i> going to be happy about that. He doesn't even know what shots are, the last one he had was over 2 years ago. I will be happy when this appointment is over. We'll definitely hit up Target or Sonic or wherever he wants to go and get a special treat!<br />
<br />
I have a mild cold, just annoying enough to have a constant mild headache, sore throat, and zero appetite. Normally no big deal, but since I'm going to DISNEYLAND with Ruth this weekend, I'd like to be feeling 100%!<br />
<br />
Just some random Monday thoughts :)<br />

I think the boys would have stayed in the pumpkin patch the whole time if we let them. They're both obsessed with pumpkins. Owen has slept with both a real and a plastic pumpkin in the last week, if that's any indication. </div>

Phew! That was a lot. And things are only going to get busier now that we're at the forefront of the holiday season. Know what will get me through some of those busy days?</div>

We had so much fun on Halloween this year. Ryan made Trader Joe's pumpkin pancakes so the day started out right!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's definitely not my favorite holiday (I always say it's a necessary evil to get to the good holidays), but it is fun to dress up, have parties, carve pumpkins, and hand out candy! We keep it simple, fun, don't put much money into costumes (thanks Tara for the hand me downs!) and focus on the fun family aspect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Owen was so excited, remembering the fun from last year. And, being in preschool, he was looking forward to his class' Halloween celebration. He went as a Superhero. <i>Not </i>a <i>"</i>power ranger", ahem. A Superhero. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I volunteered in his class for the party and it was toooo cute. Owen did great and had lots of fun. I enjoyed meeting some of his friends and seeing them all interact!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's Owen stringing a bracelet. Not Halloween related, haha.</div>

I was in charge of the snack table. The kids would smear orange-tinted cream cheese on rice cakes and make a face with candy corn and pretzels. It was quite cute. </div>

After school was out we went to lunch at Chick fil A. The boys took a nice loooong nap and woke up just in time to get ready for the evening's festivities!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The McFaddens came over to our house. I made a <a href="http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/2012/10/crockpotalooza-2.html">big pot of chili</a> and some <a href="http://thesistersdish.blogspot.com/2009/04/boston-market-cornbread.html">cornbread</a> that turned out great. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"No high fives in time out!"<br />

"Honey, you may not pretend that the moon said "peepee" and then yell at it for using yucky words."<br />

The boys have been keeping me on my toes lately. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the rule in our house is that when Owen (our early bird) wakes up (at 5:30) he may come out of his room to go potty and then he needs to go back to his room, turn on his light, and play quietly until his clock says 6. That's when we get up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday morning, I woke up to Owen in the kitchen. Here's what he arranged for himself for breakfast. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A tub of Tollhouse cookie dough, a container of strawberry cream cheese (which he was eating with a butter knife!!) and a yogurt <strike>for added nutrition</strike>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was trying not to laugh. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then this afternoon, after getting Austin up from his nap, I saw that he actually had not napped at all but had spent his nap time out of his crib pulling every pack of wipes out of a Costco box, pulling the sticker opening off, and putting individual wipes back into the box. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Funny that around this time I saw this quote. I think it helped me have a gracious response to all of these training moments that happen with my boys throughout the day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fl-CYbDzusA/UIeFYDGWOOI/AAAAAAAAEjE/gKRXC7nd-l4/s640/blogger-image-1570592579.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fl-CYbDzusA/UIeFYDGWOOI/AAAAAAAAEjE/gKRXC7nd-l4/s640/blogger-image-1570592579.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a mom I just totally agree that it's easy for circumstances to dictate my attitude about the day. To dictate my joy. It's a Tuesday afternoon and my kids are bored and getting into everything while I put away laundry? It's a bad day. A Saturday afternoon running errands as a family with the windows rolled down, Starbucks in hand, and the kids are behaving? It's a good day!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But God really wants to get after my heart. In those frustrating moments where I feel like if I have to clean up one more mess I'm going to scream, God wants my heart. He wants me to look to HIM to be my strength and my joy, despite my circumstances. He wants me to love my children with the love of 1 Corinthians 14:4. Not in my own power, but in His. God's word promises that he will give me the strength in those moments to die to myself and honor Him, to be joyful and happy despite any trying situation because He is my joy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Praise God for these little moments to trust Him. He's still working on me!</div>

So glad it's Friday. My day did not start out the best. {4 fillings. First dental procedure EVER. Ouch.} So glad that's over, now let the weekend begin! </div>

We are quite enjoying our "cooler" fall days. My pumpkin candle is often burning, we're baking all the time, and I'm enjoying starting my mornings with the yummiest coffee. </div>

Little pumpkin craft for the boys. They had so much fun sharing paint colors and trying to paint every inch of their pumpkins! Too bad, as they dried, the paint peeled right off of the pumpkins. I'm trying to market it as a "clean it off, let's paint it again!" scheme. Ya know, reusable pumpkins. </div>

That's all I have for this week. Starting next week our schedule is going to be crazy. We have lots to look forward to: the zoo, the fair, the pumpkin patch, a getaway for Ryan and me, to name a few. Stay tuned, I'll try to keep this 'ol blog up to date!</div>

Owen Parker turned 4 on September 19th. He requested a "donut cake" for his birthday breakfast. Uhh, ok? Well, what the birthday boy wants, the birthday boys gets! He was perfectly happy with the donuts piled on top of each other and some candles on top!</div>

Bubs had school that day (he took Angry Birds fruit snacks to celebrate with his class!) so after we picked him up we headed to lunch with Nana & Papa. Owen's favorite lunch food is cheese crisp so Mexican it was!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After naps we went to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner. This is Owen's FAVORITE place that he talked about ever since we had his big friend/family birthday party here last year. Since it's his "off" year for a party (we do 1 big party per boy every other year) we had Jeff & Ruth and the kids come celebrate with us!</div>

Owen, Owen, Owen. What can I say about Owen? He's affectionate, funny, silly, stubborn, sensitive, impulsive, curious, loyal, handsome, and a host of other things! He keeps us on our toes and we just love him. He's changing and growing so much which is so fun to see!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Owen loves hot wheels, Dr. Suess books, games on the iphone, taking pictures, family movie night, popcorn, cheese, his ASU jersey, lunch at Chick fil A, garage sale-ing, riding his Lightening McQueen bike, sips of my coffee, the beach, fireworks, and helping in the kitchen (especially if I'm making cookies or sweet tea!). He's crazy tall for his age and people constantly think he's older than he is. His speech therapy is coming along great and he's right on course to hit all of his speech goals for this year! I can't hardly get a word in edgewise these days, he has a running commentary on everything (including a random obsession with cacti, haha). No complaints here! He's very social and is constantly asking "who's coming over?" and "where are we going to go next?" Boy likes to be busy! He has a love/hate relationship with school and doesn't always want to go, but I think it's because he feels like he's missing out on whatever Austin and I are doing while he's gone. He does have lots of friends that he talks about from school and often gives hugs to his friends when I drop him off. Sweet boy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy birthday, Owen Parker! I'm so glad you're mine!</div>
