So my mom comes to visit about every 3 weeks or so and it's wonderful! I am so grateful that the kids get to see her because my family and my parents are the only active grandparents in the kids lives. Don't want to get into too much detail but plain and simple my in laws have decided not to be in their lives....it's actually best!
Anyhow, seeing my mom with the kids just makes me miss Yuma and the family that's there, there's just something about having supportive family in your lives that you need. I have them in my daily lives but they aren't a car ride away( they are but it's 3.5hrs away!). I wish and pray that Chris' job could be moved to Yuma but I know for now that's not possible! He is very supportive of me and understands my need to travel and see my family. Unfortantley my car isn't driving worthy of a 3.5hr drive but soon it will be!!
I guess I just needed to vent but I do miss my yuma fam. and pray to be there someday....Only time will tell!

Life
ahhhh...LIFE!! It's been a little hectic around here lately but then again when is life not hectic with a preschooler and toddler running around? Let's see we have an appt. on Tuesday for Alexa to get tubes in her ears....poor baby girl is in so much pain! We have made 2 E.R. visits and tried 3 different kinds of antibiotics and ear drops to get her better. The antibiotics would work and once she was done the ear infection would start up again. Thankfully the ear drops are helping and we are getting seen so she will be in no more pain. It's starting to affect her language so we know it's going to be good to have this done!
My 4 year old has been crazy lately! He's 4 and he's acting like a independent 18 year old and it's driving me batty!!! He gets into the cubbards, goes out the backdoor without asking...AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! He did this when he was 2, he's FOUR!!!! I think with me threatening him he's starting to get the picture. Braden has some issues and when times get tough(i.e. life) he gets real anxious and acts out in ways like this. It's his way of dealing with the stress or tension that he feels from us. I'm sure he will have anxiety issues as an adult, as I do!
Speaking of which, I'm thinking of having my Dr. up my anxiety pills but I'm going to see if it's still like this once things calm down.
On a good note I've been doing Weightwatchers now for a little over a month and have lost 10.5lbs and it feels great!!! I did weightwatchers back in 2003 for my brother's wedding and lost like 30lbs but I didn't do the weekly meetings. This time I'm going to the weekly meetings and going online with it and it seems to help! Having that weekly support seems to be what I really need to keep going! Plus, I'm loving how my pants fit 10.5lbs lighter:)

Look who's back!!!!!
Okay so It's been awhile....okay I know it's been 5 months!!! Wait....5 months OMG I will be better for now on!
So a lot has actually been happening with us let see
September: Alexa got a bad Kidney infection and is now on atibiotics until next September for them. She's okay now though:) Braden started school(sob, sob, sob). At the sametime we had him evaluated with an ocupationl therapist and he's been going since November and doing well from it.
October: Halloween was fun! My parents came down that weekend and it was great having them here since they usually do Halloween with my brother and sister and all their kids. Braden saw the pyschologist for his OCD, Aspergers, anxiety and sensory issues. They diagnosed him with high funtioning aspergers( we didn't find this out til December).
November: We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year, first time ever!! It was great! We had my parents, my sister, her two kids and her bf. Chris, me and the kids and our two friends and their son....so yeah it was a lot of people but it was fun! Hey, what's thanksgiving without the drama right?!;)
December: Our baby girl turned 1!!!! I could NOT believe it, the last year has gone by soooo fast. I remember holding her in my arms in the recovery room of the hospital thinking how lucky I was to have a safe and easy pregnancy compared to Braden's. Our family is really complete now. As some of you know Chris and I for the last year had been toying with the idea of having a 3rd or not. We finally have decided to not have another child. We like our 2 and are 2 are a handful and couldn't see ourselves having another. We have talked about doing foster down the road but God will lead us in that.
Our Christmas was great! Braden was sooooo excited to see all the presents under the tree and Alexa LOVED her stocking!! She's 1, go figure?!
So that wraps it up. Now onto this month I started back on Weightwatchers, yay me!! I've lost a couple pounds so far and have been exercising about 5-6 times a week. It feels good to be exercising and eating right! I've done weightwatchers in the past but usually I would just go to the first meeting buy the books and never return obviously that didn't work because here I am! This time I am committed to going to the weekly meetings and sticking with it. I want to become a lifetime member!!
Hope you all are doing well and it's good to be back!:)
