To much to take in

My baby days are over that is right. I am now fixed so i can't have anymore. It was a real hard decision . I really wanted 1 more but my health problems out weighed my decision . I am being watched for ovarian cancer I have chronic depression S. A. D. and I can't get off my meds. . They can cause birth defects. So we decided that my health is far to important than to risk it.

In other news the meds are working I am focusing on getting better I have lost 30lbs growing out my hair taking better care of my self . Reading my scriptures trying to keep the house cleaner and I have energy like never before.
Nicholas turned 6 Alexander just turned 2 next week Noah will be 9 and Lorraine will be 10 . time is sure going fast.

I have made a new friend she lives in Cyprus. She is an amazing lady with a lot of strength .

update

We are still doing well. Kids are doing well is school . Noah has more good days than bad days. he is in therapy. Lorraine is doing real well she is upset she is the 2nd smartest kid in the 4th grade. She is active on the safety patrol and various clubs at school. She had a solo in the church primary program and just did a solo at the school Christmas pageant. She has amazing talent in the arts.
Nicholas is growing up so much . he is loving kindergarten .
Alex well he is almost 2 and a handful.he is talking in sentences and mimicking what we say. he loves to be read to and when music is on he loves to dance to it.
we added a new member to our family last weekend. her name is Hazel nut. She is our beloved Guinea pig. . We adopted her from the local pet store. she is a joy to have and the kids love taking care of her. Alex calls her his kitty .
As for me I have had a few health issues . but i am getting treated for them.

rest of summer

daddy do they have to come home

kids first day of school



I had emergency surgery that was not fun . I had my appendix removed and a big golf ball size cyst drained on my ovary. tha twas not fun. Healing time was awful . I had to stay upstairs in my room had to have help to and from the bathroom , showers i had to sit on a chair and have someone else wash me. Hardest part was I couldn't hold my little Alex. He is to young to understand why. I had ladies from church bring food clean house watch me and the kids. At my 2 week follow up I healed nicely but my cysts are forming again and well i have to talk to the Dr to get my ovaries removed. I am only 31 but i don't want to jeopardize my health at this rate they can go cancerous anytime and I don't want a repeat of that.

School is in Session Nicholas loves kindergarten . Rainey is loving 4th grade . Noah is suspended for bringing a knife to school. he thought it would be fun to shows his friends. But other than that it is quite during the day .

long crazy summer

2 kids were in summer school until the 21st of July. Noah to get his reading and math up. Lorraine because she wanted to learn French. . Then we went camping in the U.P. of Michigan . It is beautiful country up there. I live only2 and half hours from the Michigan border. you cross a bridge over the river and half way across it says welcome to Michigan. Scott and I took a river boat cruise of the Pictured Rocks along the Lake Superior shore line. the rocks are the results of the ice age melting and the constant waves hitting them. you can see pirate ships and Indian heads and various other things. Noah was also baptized on the 10 of July . It was a long awaited event. His Birthday is in January . few days after his birthday he injured his foot then was on crutches until the middle of March. I got pregnant morning sickness 24/7 . then we lost the baby in May. So after a short grieving period we decided he was ready to do this and he was he was so excited. now we are back waiting for school to start September 1

11 long years but i made it this far

11 years it has been since i stared at deaths door. I was diagnosed with cancer . It was along road to recovery both Emotionally and physically. I still have my days when I think about it . There still are outward signs I had it. I am so glad I survived this . I was given a wonderful husband who has been by my side for 14 years married 10 of them. wonderful children and many good friends along the way . I don't think i could of made it this far without all the love and support I have gotten.
