Well Another OWIE!!!!!!!

Well, As I was done putting the food in the oven. A thought came over me, "Go check on the kids out front", They were all four out front playing kick ball with two neighbor boys. And just as I got out front door, Calvin ran up saying, "Mom, It's Daxton he is bleeding really bad", "Well what happened" "I don't know" "Thought you were supposed to be watching him", "Well he tripped and fell". And that ended that conversation right there. For all of you that don't know Daxton He trips all the time. So clumbsy.

Basically he now has a fat lip and a sadder face than before. Poor baby. Since he doesn't like cold stuff he will have a fat lip for a few days. I feel so bad for him. Guess next time he won't be walking LOL.

Work and the Glory

OK, I gotta tell you, I honestly don't think I have sat down and read an Adult book since High School. I know how sad. I am just not a strong reader and let me tell you how many distractions I have in my life. I read a page or two and then have no idea what I just read so I get frustrated and quit.

Well, I have been reading with my kids and making sure they read so I felt like a hypocrite so I decided that I needed to show them that I also can sit down and read a book or two. So I borrowed The work and the glory from my dad. He has all the books. Let me tell you how hard it is too get into the book at first it is slow but now that I am into chapter 3 it is getting really good.

Taylor was in the ER with bronchitis, I got about 20 pages done. And Taylor was able to finish her book and she took her AR test and passed. So proud of her for all the books she has been reading this year. SO far she has read 4 books.

Daxton First Day of Preschool

Well, It has finally come. I have only one kid home during the day. As many of you know 6 months ago Daxton talked as much as a 6 month old would. Yea it was nice and quiet in our home. Well not really but quiet for having four that would talk. Well for the last 9 months he has had a speech therapist coming once a week to our home and working with him. And teaching our family some techniques that we can do everyday to help him talk and talk better. And let me tell you I want them too know what an amazing job both woman did. But now he is moving on to a bigger program with Mesa Public Schools. He is attending a Special Ed Preschool that specializes in Speech and he also gets to interact with kids his own age three days a week. He now rides the Short-Bus, We love it he is so proud of his new bus, I think he loves that part of the school better than the actual school. He is so cute.

I gotta tell you as much as I joke around about the fact that I am so excited that I now only have one child at home with me, I was such a baby when I was leaving Dax at the school. When I got in the car I called Devin and just cried. I felt so horrible and he wasn't even upset or scared he seemed so excited(in Daxton's way) that he was going to go and play and learn. But, I felt horrible. My baby is only two years old, and I am leaving him at a school. Guess I need to realize this is for his own good and hopefully he will be talking normally sooner than later.

These pictures are of Daxton at his school with his new Teacher. Mrs. Linda

Aeden's Officially One Years Old

Family Photo

Well, I am so sad right now. Last night was the last time ever that Devin and I will be throwing a child of ours a First Birthday Party. Makes me wanna cry to know that we will never ever have another child, Not that we don't have a few. But still makes me realize that my babies are all growing up so fast and I just wish we had more time on earth with our children to soak in all the good times. We seem to remember more bad than good times.

So excited to get his presents

Anyways, we went to Red Mountain Park in Mesa. My sister, brother, Mom and Skip, Dad and his girlfriend, Devin's parents and brother, Arleen and all the many kids that came with parents came to celebrate this one last first birthday. Thanks everyone it was awesome. Here are a few pictures of the night. Enjoy

"Chocolate"

Taylor got a bunny for her birthday almost two years ago and now that we have moved we can't keep it. Don't have an enclosed back yard and too many bugs back there too deal with bunny getting bit. It is a great pet very very low maintenance if you know anyone who would love him. Please let us know. We also just have tight quarters here and are not having the space for anything extra. Please help me find a great home. We have everything you would need for it. Food bedding extra.

Mssed events

I actually missed a few blogs have been on Facebook lately and neglecting my duties on my blog, so here are a few things that happened last week.

First of all Aeden turned one this month and well as you know had to go to Dr. for his shots and checkup. So here is a few pictures of him and Daxton in the dr office and of his many holes.

Then Devin after three weeks of being sick and him finally being told by his boss (not his wife why would he listen too her) to go to the dr so he can get over this cough and cold. He had to go to urgent care bacuse the dr office was full they told him he has broncitis. So he now has meds and is getting better finally. This is a rare site so had to take pictures.

Then Thursday my two sisters and my sisters sister- in- law and I took the kids to the Mall for a fun play day. And just a few pics of the kids being cute.

ER with Taylor

Well we had a school fundraiser at "SKATE Land" Remember that place. I just wanna scream. I was gathering up Taylor and Calvin, so we could leave and I had a classmate of Taylor's come up too me and tell me that she had fallen and couldn't get up, LOL. I looked at him like what do you want me to do, I know what a horrible mom. Then I realized that she was hurt and she needed her MOMMY. She was so brave sitting in the middle of the floor with a crowd of kids asking if she was OK. Meanwhile I had to have that boy watch my younger two so I could go onto the skate floor and check on her. Yep sure enough she couldn't walk. So thank goodness she is tiny( 11 years old and only 59 pounds) I picked her up and walked across the floor, dodging skaters. I even ran with her in my arms, wow what a funny looking woman. But I felt like SUPER MOM. I could see that she wanted to cry but wasn't gonna because the whole school was there. Felt really good about the kids in her class even boys kept coming up too her and asking if she needed anything and if she was OK. I don't remember 6Th grade boys doing that for me when I was her age.

Anyways, I had to have Calvin push the stroller, Tayton hold Daxton's hand and pray that Daxton would actually let him while I carried Taylor too the car without hitting her leg on anything, And I actually did it. YEAH!!!!!!!!! By the time that I actually go everybody loaded, I finally had time to think and realized that I hadn't even told Devin (her father) what had happened. He was helping Kevin move. So I ran over dropped all the boys off with him and Taylor and I headed too the ER.

Let me tell you I was there forever but I think that they treat kids faster than they do adults. There was a lady there for two hours before us and she was taken back ten minutes before us. And we left there just about five minutes after she did. WAy craZy

Well the outcome of the whole night is that she didn't break it or sprain it she just bruised it really bad so she is now on crutches. She has to ice it and straighten it a few times a day. That is really hard for her. But I don't think she is milking the situation yet she is really missing being able to move around freely. She is a tough little girl. Love you brave little me. MISS TAYLOR

The last picture if kinda dark but it is Tayton hanging on for dear life too the wall on the other side of the floor. He was having a lot of trouble skating on the slick floor.

Anniversary

Alright, Mine and Devin's 12 year anniversary is coming up and we have never gone and done something exciting or romantic for any of our past one's. So this year we are planning something. Well trying!!!!!!!!!!!! Please help us out. If any of you have gone to any hotels or spas or basically anywhere that you would recommend to us. PLEASE leave a remark. It isn't until November so water outdoors is out of the question.

Miracle PLEASE

Ok, every mom just needs to vent right. Well I am going too. Even though I have five kids, I still freak out when the little ones get a fever. Well, Aeden being only one (as of Saturday), has had a fever of 102 (off and on) since Saturday plus diarrhea. And I took him to Urgent Care Last night and of course all they say is it is viral and no medicine is needed. No ear infection. Basically it has to run its course. My poor baby has been sick now for four almost five days. I am getting upset with the technology we have today in the year 2008/. You would think that there would be a magic cure for our babies. It makes me so sad to see him like this. He is always so happy and for the last week he hasn't been nothing but a sad ball of chunk.

And I being a awesome mother quit nursing him two weeks ago, and now is the perfect thing for him is too be nursing and getting those natural vitamins and well I am rambling, But I feel horrible because I know that is what makes a nursing baby happy is too lay next too their moms and relax.

If anyone has advice for me or a miracle cure PLEASE spread the knowledge.
