Crazy hectic week. Monday night we had 2 ball game. Yesterdsay Levi went to the dr for his check up and shots. He is 9 weeks and is weighing in at 8lbs 3oz and 21in long.He is growing to fast. Last night I was actually able to relax some and a good thing cause I had a bad headache. Tonight we skipped ball practice cause Taylor wanted to go to church instead so I let her go. Tomorrow Lexi has a ball game so back to the ball park we go. I would write more but I have another headache and ready to just sit back and do nothing.

It's been a long long time

As you can see it's been over a year since I have blogged anything. Someone asked about a place to blog the other day and I realized I havent been here in forever. Well I am back and I will try to blog a few times a week. I will be getting new pictures up soon when I have time.So I guess I have a years worth of updates so I better get started huh.

First off we have a new addition to our family. Levi Ryan was born Jan 29, 2010. He weighed 6lbs even and was 19in long. He was born at 36 weeks and had trouble breathing on his own. His lungs weren't mature enough and he also had an infection on them. He was sent to the nicu where he spent 7 very long days. He's 9 weeks old now and doing great.

Ansleigh has been doing good. She was inducted into National Junior Honor Society at school. She's doing excellent in school. She is 11 now and I guess it's the age but her attitude and mouthyness lately has been horrible. I told her her mouth is gonna get her in serious trouble someday and she just says oh well.

Taylor is 9 now and doing better with her behavior. She did cheerleading last year and ball is just starting and she's also doing that. Shes not doing so great in school. Her grades arent failing, but I dont like them. I have a hard time getting her to do her homework so I know thats a part of her grades. She is still going monthly to the dr and thats also going well.

Lexi is also doing wonderful. She her perky little happy self. Always has a smile on her face and always dancing around singing. Her talkative mouth gets her in trouble at school and her getting in trouble at school multiples times a day every day is why I had to pull her out of dancing for the year. She loves her dance and was heart broken when I did it. Has it worked you ask? Does she still get in trouble for talking at school? Of course she does you could probably take out her voice box and she would still find a way to to talk lol.

On to Nathan. Lots about Nathan. We almost lost him last year. He had drowned and thankfully my friends brother was around to revive him. He spent 2 days in the hospital and is doing great. We celebrated his 4th birthday 17 days later. I still have nightmares about it. Hes is playing t-ball this year for the first time and is loving it.

Jake is doing good. We are finally weaning him off the phenobarb. Hes growing so fast. He just loves his new brother. he is always hugging and kissing him over and over and over again. Jake is behind developmentally. He doesnt talk at all. He's been in speech since May last year and so far has done nothing. He does speech 4 times a week for an hour each time. I am hoping he will soon have some words. He does know a little bity of sign but only about 5 signs.

So that is all for now. Lots of updates and I will be back and try to keep this going this time.

yeah i know i am way behind

I guess its time I started back on this. Lets see if I can update as much as I can since its been months.
Ansleigh is doing well in school. Making her straight A's still. Shes been doing AR (accelerated reader) and has read many many books and gotten almost 300 points so far. She is getting ready to start middle school next year. Ack I will have a child in middle school. We have our parent info meeting next week and she will be taking a field trip there the first week of May. She has decided she wants to do band. she says either the flute or clarinet. Hopefully she picks the flute. She has a band sign up meeting next week also. Softball season has started so shes playing ball and loving it of course. She had her best friend move back here from california so she was super excited for that.

Taylor is doing good in school. She still going to her monthly appts and everything is going well with that. She is also playing softball again. She is loving it more than ever. She really enjoys playing ball.

Lexi is doing good. She is playing t-ball for the first time this year and enjoys it. She is doing well in dance and has her dance recital coming up in May. She also has kindergarden graduation in a few weeks and she is looking forward to that.

Nathan is my macho man. He is really into Star wars right now and pirates. He runs through the house yelling star wars clone wars. Its so cute and he also goes around saying in his weird little voice Im a pirate ARGG. He cracks me up.

Jake is doing good. He ended up having a 24EEG and it came back normal so we were happy. We are hoping they will start weaning him off the phenobarb next month when we go back. keep your fingers crossed. He has also still having some delays. Hes not talking, doesnt say anything at all. He has started speech therapy so hopefully he will start saying something soon.

As for me and Aaron, we are doing good. Between the 3 girls playing ball I spend most of the week at the ballpark and he stays home and finishes dinner and feeds the other kids that dont have games and bathes them and gets them in bed for me while I am gone. We are pretty busy with ball and dance that we are so tired by sunday lol just to start all over again the next day.

I havent updated in forever i know i know. Anyway, all is ok here.

A few updates:

Lexi goes back to the surgeon Feb 2 for hopefully her last check post surgery.

Jake goes Feb 17 to the ENT, possibly going to end up with tubes. He also goes back to the nuerologist this month on the 27th. I am hoping he will schedule another EEG to check for seizure activity.

Taylor and Ansleigh are doing great in school and Nathan is a very hyper-active boy lol.

Right now we are trying to sell candy bars for school and girl scout cookies for Ansleighs troop. To much crap going on right now.

Aaron and I have celebrated another anniversary. We went to dinner and a movie and had a great time spending some alone time together.

I also chopped my hair off and I was told I have to post a pic so i will eventually.

Tired tonight. I had to take my nephew to the dr cause he was sick. Then took Lexi to dance and grocery shopping. I got home put groceries away and got kids ready for bed then i finally got to eat dinner at almost 10pm. I am exhausted and ready for bed.

I went and got my hair cut today. I think its to short but oh well cant exactly glue it back on. Aaron says he likes it so i guess it looks ok.

Jake is feeling better, he finally slept all night. I went to bed and woke up with a terrible headache. On the bright side me and Aaron took the babies out shopping today and they seemed to enjoy it.
I made a bunch of oreo truffels today some for us and some for Aaron to take to work. They are soo yummy. Everyone loves them.

Tomorrow Aaron has jury duty and he is dreading it.

Picture of the babies out shopping today

Today i exchanged several of the kids things they got for christmas that didnt fit. Then I went and had a nice dinner with my mom and stopped and picked up Aaron some chinese food came home now i have a headache.

I am so tired

Jake is sick. He woke up every 15-20 min last night. We went to after hours clinic today and they said he has a double ear infection and a viral infection. Now hes on antibiotics and piggybacking tylenol and motrin. Hopefull I will get sleep tonight.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hope everyone stayed safe and had fun last night. Me and Aaron went out to dinner, but not before I had to stop in Walmart and ended up locking my keys in the car and then had to wait forever for someone to bring me my extra set so that I didnt have to pay pop a lock to get in. Oh the fun of waiting

Hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas

I am done Christmas shopping finally. Now I just have to finish wrapping everything and get some cleaning done. I have also already bought everything to make Christmas dinner. Aarons parents will be here Wed and we will have Christmas with them then they will be going back home that night. The four oldest kids will be going to my dads tonight so I can wrap and clean more and I will just have the two babies here.

RIP Caylee Marie Anthony

Caylee Anthony's remains were positively identified today. A press conference was held to realease the DNA results. That poor baby I will never ever know how a mother can murder her own child. America has grown to love this little girl. Now we all want justice served for her.

If you are not familiar with Caylee Anthony just google her and see what a precious child this was

RIP Caylee Marie Anthony

Taylor had an early Christmas. She recieved a package in the mail from her Grandma Randi. She was so excited and wants me to share what all she received so that her Grandma Randi can see her pictures of her opening her gifts so here they are.
