School year 2010

Well it's started the craziness of going back to school! This year is different because miss L will be going 3 days a week all from 9-3, since her birthday is after the 15th she didn't get to start kindergarten with the rest of his classmates from last year, she's fine with that and so am I. Also this year J will be going 1 day a week from 9-3, this is a bit harder for me. J does not do well being left, poor little guy loves me :) This was the first year that I had to pack lunches, which scares me to death because of the peanut allergy. But everyone assures me it'll be fine and that they keep the peanut kids away from her and then wash them up really well!

L loves her teachers and loves schools, J on the other hand no so much! He screamed the first hour and half, refused to eat lunch but did take a two hour nap! I'm very hopeful that he'll come to love it as much as sister does. He's doing great in speech therapy, and we are still working at it because he might talk to me and a few family members, but random people in public or school teachers he wont talk to them.



twilight love

My very sweet husband had all of my family over for my birthday! This was not just any ol' bday it was a TWILIGHT party :) it was a surprise party and I was very thankful for all he did and the help from the family it was a lot of fun!



My little ballerina

Miss L has been taking ballet classes at the community center this summer, and she has loved it! So we signed her up with the big ballet school here!

summer

This summer has been crazy and HOT. So the kids take really great naps because I let them play outside in the morning but in the afternoon they just dont want to go out because of the heat! So I bribe with the water hose! I don't have many photos of L because she was on the other side of the yard spraying her self in the face with water!



So my child!

My son might look just like his daddy but 99% he acts just like me! Very short tempered, and when he wants something he's wanted it 10 minutes ago, and when he's happy he's HAPPY and when he's mad well just dont talk to him! J's been asking to go potty when sister or someone else go so I've been taking and he's done really well!

July-16-2010

Josh had been having some issues with his left side, he's a guitar player and was having a hard time. In 2006 he was diagnosed with Gillian barre it took him a few months to recover but he did! We thought maybe he was having issues from that, so he was seeing a sports medicine therapist to help him, which wasn't working. He was getting worse, and it was hard to watch.

Friday he went to work and then an hour later he walked him self down to the er I go there later in the afternoon, to be told more than likely he has MS! I was in tears not because of the MS but because something was wrong with my husband! After a week in the hospital a few MRI's and a lumbar puncher later he came home. He was very week and well we've got a long road ahead of us.

The kids missed their daddy, and he was doing well enough that we would wheel him out of the unit and outside so the kids could see him. It also helped that he was staying in his unit.

He's taking a daily shot, and has changed his diet big time. I think he's always had a wheat allergy and it just so happens that wheat is not very friendly to MS patients, and a few days' later he was feeling better, he had been in a haze because of the wheat! We are all doing well just trying to find a new normal. He's gotten most of his strength back but still gets very tired when walking! But it'll be okay we'll figure it out! I'm very thankful for my faith and his, it has helped us get through this, and thank you to all that were praying for us!


Train man~

His gift was few days late but it didn't matter at all he was in love! We got him a train table and well its a bit bigger than I expected and takes up way more of his bedroom than I thought it would.


Big man's birthday

It was so hard to believe that my little boy was two! He's doing so great, and it's hard to look back and see how hard it was for him when he was born! He had a great party with lots of friends and gifts! He had a blast which was all I wanted!






Fireworks

My sister had some left over mega sparklers and we waited until the sun went down and let the kids each have a turn.







Twilight

So was I was one of those nuts that couldn't wait to see the new twilight movie, and when a friend asked on fb if anyone wanted to go with her to see all three movies, well I called her immediately and told her I was there! It was a lot of fun we got to the theater at 5:30ish and movie place let outside food come in and before the movie's started they played games for prizes, which I didn't win but Mary did! We sat and watched all three movies that night and well it was so much fun I mean really when is this ever going to happen again!

Rain

Who knew in dry west texas it could and would flood! I think it took everyone by shock! But it was a nice cool down to what has been a rather hot summer! We got over 10" at our house and thats just what was above the ground and so it could have been more!
