Still ALIVE!!!!

Well, I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted. Lets just say more than I can write but I will try to keep it short.

Update on Devin. He had his surgery back in February and it went GREAT! He went in to see the Surgeon and a week later had the surgery. Very fast and Very stressful. Well at least for me. Trying to figure out where the kids were going and how to juggle the balance of kids and still visiting and helping Devin while in the hospital. Thank goodness he was taken good care of while in there but I have been in a hospital at least 5 times LOL and know how boring it is exceptionally when you have NO visitors. He only stayed one night then released but came home to get sick, HIGH fever and almost had to return to the hospital three hours after leaving, but was able to monitor it from home and to wake up the next day feeling much better. He has a 4 to 6 month full recovery but from the moment the Morphine quit working he couldn't feel the sharp pain the would run down his left leg. Crazy how fast the results were. He is very sore when he wakes up every morning but, after his morning stretches and walking about for a few he is feeling 80% better so far. Thank you to all the friends and parents that supported us threw this hard and stress full time. Devin has also went back to work part time to help out, and received a new calling in church, Elders Quorum Secretary. New for him but think he is really enjoying it.

Well, I am now working a different job and so far it is a lot more challenging then the last but I think that is what I need to keep my little brain working. LOL. I am now a sales woman for a glass company. Aero Glass so please refer your friends and family to me and I will help them. My health is getting much better thanks to LOTS of time and patience. I may have to go back in for one more surgery but still have to wait till the end of May to see what the doctor says. I am shooting for the next surgery to completely get rid of everything. (girl stuff don't wanna go into detail LOL) I also have now a new calling in church Primary Assistant Secretary, and still the wolf leader in cub scouts. I am excited for the challenge of two callings and full time mom again, the smiles are back on my face. YEA ME!!!!!

KIDS_ Well Taylor is ending her first year in Jr. High and Let me tell you how proud of her we are. This year has been the hardest for everyone especially her for keeping up with the 7 different teachers and all their different policies. Lets just say grades haven't been the best UNTIL NOW she is averaging a C average. for those of you with kids that struggle know why we are excited. Even her teachers have called me to tell me how proud of her they are for all of her improvements and Hard work she has put in the last few months. She also has received a new calling in YW's she is the Beehive Secretary, See the pattern LOL.

Calvin, just turned 11 and now in Scouts. He went on his first scout overnight camp out. He froze his little body off but he LOVED IT. First thing out of his mouth was mom we need to do that again soon. Thank goodness Devin is taking them to Fathers and sons this next weekend or he would be devastated LOL. Since he has just went onto scouts he has finished Weeblos, and he has received the highest honor for cub scouts. Calvin received his Weeblo and Arrow of Light. His belt is so full of loops that we can't fit anymore on his belt. Would help if he wasn't so skinny, LOL but I am so proud of you buddy for all your hard work and effort. I know that you struggles with a few of the requirements but never gave up.

Tayton- is on honor roll at school in his first grade class and just soaring threw school. Amazing how the teachers last year wanted to hold him back and look at him now. So glad I didn't listen and had faith that he would get it and run with it.

Daxton is doing amazing at driving both Devin and I crazy. He is so bored at home so we are looking for a preschool for him to enter to get all the energy that he has built up in him. When he was speech delay he was behind in more than just speech, but now he has caught up and running with it. So now we are trying to catch up too him. Very active and LOVES to learn about everything. But sad part is we don't have all the answers but since we are parents we should is what he tells us.

And Aeden- The Baby should say it all VERY SPOILED SNOT!!! LOL We love you buddy. He is full of it all the time thinks he is the king of the castle. Well he is who am I kidding. Aeden is trying to keep up with Dax and the two of them are so cute together. Some days are more challenging then others but well I guess that is the brotherly rivalry. We are still working on that one.

Life is getting much easier so far but know that a challenge or trial is gonna come our way soon way to easy for that. But I am ready for the journey ahead. Pictures to come on my laptop and its dead. LOL
