Just a day in my life.......

My day consisted of going with a small group of 15 kids to Mud Mania in Scottsdale. It was hot and really crowded and I am not sure why they don't do this event in April or even May when it is bearable to be outside.  I wanted to leave almost as soon as I got there. The kids had a good time but I will probably not be returning next year. From there we took a quick detour to our fav. dessert/lunch/snack place Bahama Bucks. That pretty much made up for being miserably hot at mud mania. 
Then we headed up to the Hyatt and swam with the kids for at least a couple hours and Ben enjoyed feeding the fish and duck right out of his hand. He also enjoyed using up an entire bag of gold fish doing this. 
Took the kiddos over to Grandmas and ran out to get a birthday present and it was at Nordstroms Rack that I got the call. 
I am in labor.............they want to schedule a C-section for an hour and my husband is 4 hours away. 
So I drove home to get my camera and then back to Scottsdale North Hospital where I assisted the nurses and doctors in delivering the cutest baby. He is the 5th boy and it was a surprise delivery!  
His mom did amazing and really acted like this was no big deal even though I know she did not want to have a C-section.  This baby knew that if it had waited until next week when I was out of town I would have possibly missed his birth and knowing that I will probably be his favorite of all his Moms two friends he came at the perfect time. 
I am a bit exhausted and am excited to go up and see him tomorrow. 
Congratulations Julianne!

I think this birthing coach gig might be a great new career now that I am retired from pics. 
 

 
I have adorable pics of the babe but I  will let Julianne show those on her blog..........
