Last few months

Ok so yesterday's post was suppose to catch up whats been taking place in our lives, instead i forgot that and went into the emotional side of things.

So here we go again,
May was my graduation

End of May, Beginning of June David suprised us by coming home early from training (yes, he finished it, the class was just so smart they got through everything early adn sent them home). It was a funny story, I was upset that day because I tried over and over again to get hold of him and he would let the phone ring and then put me on ignore. I was not happy when he called me back and said sorry he couldnt talk he was busy and he slipped and said something about airports. I was like what? what airport...huh where are you? he was like somewhere...anyway, I finally got it out of him he was in SLC and on his way home. By the time he got home the kids were asleep so when they woke up and saw daddy they were excited.

Then two weeks later, David had AT so he was basically gone again. But we spent a lot of time down there letting the kids see the aircrafts.The kids favorite part of Daddy's job.

July came and went and we had fun hiking and packing up the house because WE MOVED!!!! We love our new Six bedroom house and there is so much less yelling and fighting of kids. Will post a video later of the house. We love it here in Farmington and have the best neighbors. 

Aug. has been filled with Saibrynn's pageant where she won first place in the talent portion of the contest. Unpacking the house and getting the kids ready for the new school year. School has a bunch of firsts this year. The twins started kindergarten, Coby started Jr. High and still is struggling with 7th grade=7 classes, and Colten is in HIGH SCHOOL!!! He decided to go to NUAMES high school instead of his home school and absolutely LOVES it. 

Sept has been my ER month. Started with me having some health issues we are trying to figure out, then Saibrynn was walking up a hill at school and couldn't walk, her hip seized and she couldn't put weight on it. Found out after er and ortho, she had a viral infection that attacked her hip instead of the infection ( had to have a blood test) so she is slowly healing and is down to one crutch. Then she went to her yearly checkup and we did another UA test see if her urine is finally clean and it wasn't. She has lots of blood in it so they had to do another blood test in the same week and then she had to shot of gardisil shot, last week she felt like a pin cushion. David left again for training for four months to VA and then yesterday colten lost sight in his right eye and had pressure and pain in his head. After many tests, we found out he was having a major migraine headache and he is excited he can drink caffeinated drinks plus he has to take 800 IB's every 8 hours until the migraine is gone. 

We have also had Birthdays.  Coby is officially a teen and saibrynn is finally into two digit numbers (she couldn't believe it would take ten years to do that, lol). Now, onto Oct. and our favorite holiday ...HALLOWEEN!!!!4

Long Time (sry if it seems I am whining)

Wow, i have not posted on the blog forever. I am going to get back to journalizing my life. Since April a lot has happened. Starting with May and my graduation with my bachelor's degree. As exciting as this time was it was very difficult because my hubby was gone and not able to share in my hard work with me. Then i lost a good friend due to a miscommunication and she didnt want to talk about it so i guess she really wasnt a friend. So while i felt very accomplished, it was a very hard sad day and i cried a lot. This began my downward spiral. Nothing seemed to be going right the last six months. Finally, after a major blow to my life i decided enough is enough. I am not going to let these things take a toll on me any longer. I went through a lot of heartache and self-examination including going to my past and facing some of it and trying to put things behind me. 

Then one day, I was watching a show on MTV about an experiment in high school called if you really knew me. This show hit home because while so many of us are different, we all have some things in common. The show began making me think about what others perceive me as and what they do not know about me. I know the answer and i dont think i want people to see me and for me to hide who i am. In order to feel and be loved one has to be vulnerable and vulnerability can cause hurt and for me its extremely scary. I dont like feeling vulnerable but i have learned that to allow others in my life, i have to be.

Anyway, my life has been difficult and to top things off, david is gone again until jan. But I know I am not really alone. I have God in my life and five wonderful angels who make me get up in the morning and live. Without them, i dont know where I would be. I love being a Mom and looking forward to putting my old life behind me and waking up with a new me. This is not going to be overnight but one day I know I will wake up and realize I am truly happy. Now on to the ghosts and ghouls...really looking forward to having a great Halloween and holiday season. 

Easter Bunny Came Early

Easter bunny and Santa Clause are very supportive of the military. They try and come early when they hear a soldier is leaving their family. So here is our Easter, thanks to the support of the Easter bunny daddy as able to be there.

Here are some pictures of our Easter 2010.

Our Easter morning (SAT)

The kids got kites and decided to go fly a kite.....this ended with having to take colten to the ER due him twisting his ankle and swelling not going down.

Easter (sat) night, we spent the night having a great ham dinner that nothing turned out right except for the ham because it was precooked and finally watched the Blindside.

Then kids said their goodbyes to daddy and went to bed. Easter morning (sunday), sis and I took david to the airport and had an adventure because the roads were icy....yes, in April black ice. Had several near misses from being in an accident. Came home ran chasten to the drs and found out he has double ear infections. Then went to mom's and had a great time visiting with family and then come home and finished finals and watched the kids have glow stick sword fights.

One rule that a military wife goes through......everything happens right after the soldier leaves.....Its the truth ask a military spouse. Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!!!!!

"My friend"

Tomorrow, I will lose "my friend". As long as I remember my friend has always been there with me. Through every birthday, holiday, and event that has happened, it has been sitting there right on me. When people would look at my friend and ask "what is that" or laugh, I would be there defending it." Its sad my friend never had a name. Its been many years and now we must part. My friend may be turning bad so it must go. It will be missed but excited to see what life is like without my dear friend.

Chasten

A little over a week ago, Chasten went to the specialists at Primary Children to figure out what is wrong with him. He has been diagnosed with Chronic stool retention and encupresis due to constipation which has caused his colon to enlarge. Now he has a mega colon. The good news is his colon should shrink over awhile the bad news is we have to have him go through colon cleanings and cleaning maintenance. This is not fun for him and not fun for us but over time his colon will shrink and his body will tell him when he should go "dump". After three months of cleaning he will go back to the dr and they will be able to examine why he gets constipated or if he has IBS. I am not excited about his cleaning out sessions but I am so glad to start getting some answers. It nice not hearing his tummy hurts but now his other end hurts. The one thing i am amazed about is how if your dumper doesn't work your whole system is affected, especially the stomach. God loves to make me strong!!!!
