Pacen Makes His Entrance!

Pacen Spencer Pasowisty made his entrance on November 12th, 2009 at 3:45pm. He weighed 8lbs 13oz and is 21inches long! He has light golden brown hair and blue eyes just like his sister did. He pretty much looks like his sister did when she was born, but with a few very different parts! You pronounce his name (Pay-sen) Spencer came up with the name a couple of months ago and I fell in love with it right away. For his middle name we chose to name him after his Daddy beacuse he is our first born son.
Welcome Home Pacen! Abbie welcomed home her little brother the day after he was born...he looks so tiny in his car seat.

Spencer and his baby boy Pacen waiting to go home...his newborn sleeper was so big on him!

Proud Mommy the morning after...I think he is so cute!

Daddy calming down Pacen after his bath...his little lip was quivering from being cold.

The nurse giving Pacen his very first bath.

Grama welcomes her 7th grandchild!

Abbie meets her little baby brother for the first time! She was so sweet to him right from the beginning...she was giving him kisses and stroking his face softly.

The proud parents...thinking "I can't believe we have another baby!"

Mommy in disbelief that she was finally holding her baby boy that gave her so much grief for the last 9 months! Goodbye heartburn, throwing up and not being able to bend over and touch my toes. I am so happy that I am finished with pregnancy.

The first time I got to hold him...it made everything I just went thru all worth it!

Pacen's first picture...Welcome to the world!

Laying there on the "drip" getting induced. They put me on around 10am, contractions started just after 11am. My water broke at noon. By 2pm I was in a lot of pain and only 5cm dialated and wishing I had taken some drugs! By 3pm I was 8cm dialated and ready to go...I have never been in such pain! Spencer ws the best coach and he helped me get through it. At 3:30pm the Dr arrived and told us she had to turn the baby because he was facing the wrong way. It was awful but as soon as he was turned I was able to push him out in about 3 pushes. Spencer was up close and personal..the dr made him hold my leg and help. And then he was out on my stomach and Spencer was cutting the cord!

The last picture of my belly...the morning just before we left for the hospital. I had an appt to get induced. I look tired because I was tired...try sleeping when you know that you are having a baby the next day and you remember just how painful it is!

Baby Room



Yesterday was my last dr's appt...if I haven't had the baby by next Thurs, Nov 12th I am booked to be induced. I am so excitedto stop the heartburn and puking! Everything is all ready...here is his finished room. If you noticed the "P" I'll say that it could stand for Pasowisty or we have chosen a "P" name and you will have to wait a week to find out what his name will be!

Here Comes TinkerBell!

Abbie was Tinkerbell for Halloween this year...she didn't like being dressed up till she realized she got candy for it!


Abbie taking a bite out of a donut at the ward trunk or treat party.

Our reject pumpkin that was free. It was Spencer's responsibility to buy a pumpkin this year and he left it till Halloween...he went everywhere and they were all sold out! Spencer found this one at Superstore to be thrown out because the back side was rotting. Spencer said we saved it and gave it a second chance!

Abbie scored big treat or treating because she is so cute!

Keeping Busy with Daddy


Last week I had to spend three nights in the hospital with the H1N1 flu. It was the first time I was away from Abbie and I missed her so much (spencer too). It was also the first time Spencer has had to watch Abbie all day long for three days...he said "she just doesn't stop!" She definitely tired him out and we were all happy when I could come home.

4 More Weeks!

We're in the home stretch and it couldn't come any sooner! We had an ultrasound yesterday and the little guy already weighs 6lbs 5oz! Please don't kill me baby....We are all ready for his arrival as I just finished organizing the room and the hospital bags are packed.

Abbie and I are trying to keep ourselves busy...Abbie's fall photos are taken inside because we had no fall...there is snow already! Abbie misses going outside.

Abbie dancing to Backyardigans

Backyardigans Concert!

This was Abbie's Face during most of the first part of the concert....in complete awe! She wouldn't look away even for a picture.
During the intermission Abbie would actually pose for the camera. She kept asking for them to come back.

During the second half Abbie started to sing a long with the songs and she even got down and started to dance! When the ending song came on she started to cry because she knew it was over! She was saying "bye Backyardigans, see you later" while she cried!





We made the kids Backyardigan shirts for their big day...Abbie's shirt says "Number one fan" because we all know how much she loves Pablo!

The girls super excited for the concert...after the concert we took them to Boston Pizza for their special dinner. It was a very exciting day and they all passed out at the end of it!

Fall photo shoot




Jen and Mom came up for a quick visit and we took the kids to the park and tried to have a photo shoot...they were all over the place!


Abbie modelling her new outfit


Fall is here in Edmonton and with it comes the cooler weather and one of my favourite things...new clothes! I had fun buying Abbie her new wardrobe.

Family Vacation

For our summer holiday we spent a week in Terrace, BC. It was mainly a fishing trip, but we spent some time to go to Lakelse Lake. The water was really warm and we had great weather all week long!
Our last day there, we took a boat ride on Lakesle Lake to the river...it felt like bath water it was so warm! Abbie loved to throw rocks in the water.

Abbie loved going on Granpa's boat! Its all she talked about...

Abbie had absolutely no fear in the water. If someone wasn't holding on to her she would float away with the current. She loved to just sit there and float.

Sockeye fishing...Spencer's first day was the best. He would catch something every 3rd cast!

Abbie fishing with her fishing rod off of the boat...it never got old for her!

Abbie even liked touching the dead fish her Daddy caught (yuck) she is definitely a Pasowisty. She was even poking the dead fish with a stick!

One of Spencer's sockeye catches (nice pink shoes!)



Abbie and I on the boat...one of the few pictures of me to prove that I was actually there! How can you tell that I am the one with the camera?

Happy Birthday Spencer!

Spencer turned 26 years old on July 24th! He is now in the late 20s....we had a BBQ for the big day and I let him stink the house out with seafood for the occasion.

Fun in July!

Me so excited at the Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift concert!
Char-Lane and I at the concert....you could never tell how much has changed since the last time we were at an outside concert together! We're both married and Moms!

Abbie loves babies and she was so sweet with Summer, Char-Lane's little sweetheart!


Spencer and I dressed up to see the Lion King...it was amazing by the way and totally worth seeing!
