Where has the time gone?!?!

Wow it has been awhile since I have written! We are doing well. The boys had a great rest of the year at school.
 Noah received the math award this year for the entire first grade. I am so proud of him. In March his dad and I went to his neurologist appointment. We finally received a diagnosis for him. It has been eight years in the making. Though it was not what either one of us were expecting. Cerebral Palsy. I have had a hard time with this news. I was prepared for a few other things. This was not one of them. Honestly it was like someone had taken all the air out of me. I have come around since but it was a rough road. It just feels so finally. There will be no getting better but at the same time no getting worse. I just wish we could have had this information 8 years ago. But it is what it is and we are dealing with it. He is such an amazing young man. His story is definitely just getting started :)

And then we have Wyatt. He is a mess :) He placed high in his schools standardized testing. I am happy to say that he has been invited to apply for an exclusive charter school. I am on the fence if I want him to go, but I am going to apply just to see if he can get in. I am soooo Proud of him too! I am not quite sure where I get these smarties from!

Amelia well what can I say about my princess...She is doing great! We think that she has celiacs and so she has been on a gluten free diet for the last 2 months and she has done a complete 180! She has grown and gained weight and her hair has grown!!!! I have been able to do pig tails which makes me soooo happy! I have had to prepare her for the fact that her BFF from school is going to be going to a different school. Neither one of the girls are so happy about that. lol :)

And last but not least Logan- He is such a stinker. Little bit may be my fault ;) He is my baby! My last one! He is turning 3 in less then a week. I am trying to work with him on his behavior. He is a little on the  wild side. If anyone has any suggestions please send them this way. He is doing well at daycare/school which is a relief only gets in trouble sometimes. lol He is going to have an avengers birthday and I am so grateful that I have a very dear friend that is going to help me get it set up. I will try to put pictures up after.

And now time for some pictures that were taken at the little ones daycare

Thanks Living day 1

I am thankful for life's little surprises. At school not going to lie I was a little scared that I was not going to pass one of my classes. But have found out today that I am....So that means I will GRADUATE!!!!!! and then knowing that you still run across someones mind :)

Thanks Living

At Church this Week the Pastor discussed Thanks Living. I know so many people did the 30 days of Thankfulness for November. I think I am going to do 31 days of Thanks Living for Christmas. I am going to be thankful each day for something that has happened that day, good or bad. 

What does it take

A Woman sits with a child. She knows every inch of him. She knows every bad dream he has ever had. She knows every scar he has. She knows his fears and how to calm him down. She knows all his first. She knows his friends and his favorite places to go. She knows what his favorite food and his least favorite food. She knows how to make him smile when he has a bad day. She loves him no matter how many times he tells her he hates her. She loves him unconditionally. We call this a mother. A mother knows her child and loves him more than she loves anything or anyone else. She will walk through fire for them and give her life. She will fight to protect her child from harm. Now here is the kicker this mother I am talking about did not give birth to this child, but you would never have known. A mother is born when a child is born even if she did not birth him herself. I love our legal system when it works. I have a very dear friend that the legal system did not work for her. I feel that the judgment that was handed down was the wrong one. I am asking for prayers that the Judge will change their mind and for peace for my friend. She is one of the most amazing women I have ever met. She is the kind of mom that we all strive to be. She loves her sons more than life it's self. My heart is aching for her today as are so many other of her friends hearts.

Tim McGraw

I read a post from a woman about how fast her kids are growing and that they will never be that same age again. How true it is. The same can be said for us too. When I think Tim McGraw I think of my boyfriend from when I was 17. I think of the times we shared. He was my first love. I don't think you will ever love a guy the same way that you love your first. I would like to look back and tell you Jas and I had a great relationship but we didn't. But man did we love each other to the point where it became toxic. And yet I still look back and smile. I think of the times I shared with my then bff Megan. How for Junior prom we all went back to my house and Megan was dancing with the wall and well her pants....How we spent our weekends at her house. Mostly because we could get our hands on adult beverages. How cool we thought were jamming out to N*SYNC and Britney. How those days I would not trade for anything. The heartbreak, the first times, the laughter and the really good times we had. None of that we will get to experience again. But when I think Tim McGraw it takes me back.

Megan and I decided we would share him :)
