More summer

Wow what a busy few months! Here are some more pictures!

Me and Gavin the grumpy because he wasn't getting his way at the parade. LOL He had fun no the less.

Our crew for the parade! We had a blast sorry you couldn't make it. :)

So Dylan loves sandles even if they don't fit if you take them away from him he throws a fit. LOL these shoes are Gavins.

See he loves shoes! So now he can chill and watch the parade! he he he Don't they fit lovely?

I love how every year these guys get a standing ovation! We love what the military does for our families and our country!!

The end of the parade and we are headed out. Like how we transport? LOL

Lake Photos

Here are some pictures of our summer so far. Here is our trip to the lake! :)

Rhett walking into the lake! :)

Dylan loving the MUD!! So happy that I am not getting after him for getting dirty. LOL

Gavin on the boat getting ready to watch Nikole tube. :)

Nikole tubing with cousins!! Loving it said she will go again next year!!

Ok so it has been a while since I was last on here. There has been crazy times here. the kids are going to start school soon thank heavens. They are taking the long summer out on each other. LOL They are usually pretty good but heck when they have had enough of each other look out. We have been to the Angel's Hand Foundation motorcycle firefighter ride in June then in July we had a ton to do, we went to 2 different family reunions that were the same week. Man my kids mostly Dylan was so tired of being in the car. But the great news was that Emily and her boys came out for 3 weeks!! We were so excited to be able to play!! They got sick the end of their stay but they are all better now and home safe and sound with Tom who couldn't come and play. We also went boating with my aunt, uncle, and cousins while Emily was here visiting. The kids had a blast and Nikole actually went tubing!! I know I couldn't believe it The boys didn't but maybe next year. :) There was also the parade and firework with the days of 47'. The kids always love that day! I found out at the day on the lake Dylan is so not scared of the water and wanted to go deeper and deeper and swim more and more. The little puddle that they had for him just wasn't good enough. He would just scoot his way to the lake and then splash like crazy laughing and loving the water. Yep he is surely my kid!! :)

The best is yet to come! :) Hope that I will be able to get on more and do more posting now that summer is almost over! Can't wait for the autumn weather!!

This has got to one of my favorites!! Tubeless!!

Our 10th anniversary!! Yeah!

Update

Well it has been a while and it has just been crazy. so I figured that I would be able to update what is going on and what has gone on.

Well after The beginning of March after I got my computer I went on a business trip with Dylan and he ended up aspirating something on the trip so that wasn't very fun. We were taken in by a family that lives out there and I am ever so grateful for their hospitality. When we got back Dylan had therapy like crazy and got sick too. Then there was pictures that we volunteer for at the school. Plus I was working on my business at the same time as all of this.

The end of March Dylan got the intestinal flu and lost a whole pound in one night. I couldn't believe it! He went from 15 lbs. 9 oz. on Friday to 14 lbs. 11 oz. on Monday morning. It took him almost 2 weeks for him to eat enough to sustain himself. After a week of him being sick Gavin ended up as sick as Dylan was but of course he didn't lose the huge amount of weight that Dylan did. He was also not as sick for as long as Dylan was. That week Rhett had to go in for surgery and I was praying that he wouldn't get sick because i didn't need them postponing his surgery any. So Rhett had a rib expansion and replacement and went home in 5 days. Then it was spring break. Well trying to work on top of this was so hard that I had to just wipe my brain since I had been so worried and then all of a sudden I could breath again. Rhett went back to school in less than 2 weeks after surgery.

After that we have been to doctors offices and I also registered Gavin in Pre-k!!! I am so excited and I know he is too. He can not hardly wait!! Now that we are in May we have a ton of stuff happening and I still have not had some breathing time to work on my business, but tomorrow I will totally have time. It is going to be awesome!! I hope to be able to keep up to speed on this more so than I was.

Yea!!! Happy Days!!!

I have it!! I finally got a computer!! I know it has been forever but I am so happy that I can finally be online now without the drama of not having a computer!!!

My husband decided to get me a computer with the taxes. I am ever so grateful!! Try living without a computer for a year!! It sucks take my word for it.

Update on the kids!

Rhett is doing well!! He is going into surgery on the 9th of April and will be in the hospital for a while since it is major surgery. He is trying very hard to get his pinewood derby car ready for the race on the 20th of March. He really wants to have a shark on fire. When I get some pictures I will have to post some. Other then that he is doing well.

Nikole is very happy since she got a cat for her birthday in January. She is enjoying the cat so much that she is forgetting that she still has homework and chores around the house. Then she turns into a drama queen when I have to remind her. She is too smart for her own good and she is loving life. She is my into trouble child, it doesn't matter if she is home or at school she is almost always in trouble. I wonder why that is!! I pray that it will get better.

Gavin is one of the sweetest kids while my older children are at school! When they get home it is like having the WWF in my house. He can totally hold his own and then some. He loves being the big brother!! It is great he has just learned how to put on his socks and shoes all by himself but it takes a lot of reverse psychology to get him to do it though. For now that really works for him. I ask him if he is a baby and needs help like a baby and he does amazing things to prove that he is a big boy!! It is great!!

Dylan is scooting all over the place!! He is so funny!! I will have to get a video of him one day to show you what I mean. He scoots on his head and butt. He truly cracks me up!! He loves to eat and can pack it in!! He has finally doubled his birth weight!! Yeah, he made it to 15 lbs!!! He is getting closer to moving into size 2 diapers but not because he has out grown them but because he is peeing too much!! I know crazy!! He has got to be the most spoiled child I know just because his siblings are all trying to take care of him all the time. I am always telling Nikole not to carry him and pick him up especially over her head! She really scares me sometimes.

Other than that we are all doing well. Just working on making it all work out.

The month is almost over!!

Can you believe it the month of February is almost over! It feels like it has gone too fast. The kids are doing well! All except for being sick for now but we are in the process of curing that illness. Dylan is loving life as he is learning to be mobile but not as much as his siblings. Nikole had her 7th birthday and has grown so much since last year. Maybe by next year she might be able to come out of her booster seat! That would be a day of celebration!! Rhett only has a month left before his next surgery. That is going to be a long hospital stay. We need to think of something for the kids for Easter since Rhett is going to be in the hospital on Easter. If you have any ideas please feel free to let me know. Gavin is learning to add and I am not even sure where that all started from. But he is enjoying asking almost everyone "what plus 2 plus 1 is?" That is how he says it, which is so cute! Jaren is working like crazy still, and I guess it is ok since I still see him which means it is busy enough but not to the point of not seeing him. I am working on my business and am enjoying it. I will be traveling some but not as much as Jaren. So that is good maybe I can take Dylan with me but I still need to find out if I can.

We had a brother-in-law come home from a mission, a birthday party, an ER visit, another birthday, another ER visit, a doctor visit, a few therapy sessions, a surprise visit from a sister, another sister move to a house, a book fair, and another visit from a brother. Wow we have had a lot going on maybe it will settle down some now. we will wait and see. If I had my normal computer I would post some pictures but I don't. I guess I will try tomorrow.

Now we need to get ready for Nikole's party and Jordan is coming home from his mission tomorrow. Plus it is Grandma's birthday and I have something that is going to surprise her tomorrow. He he he I can hardly wait! Well it has been a day and I am just getting tired, wow I thought that all that peace and quite would help me rest at the hospital but I guess not! Oh well!
