Sorry I haven't posted in a while. After christmas and new years things got busy. Back to school for gabe and I. Started shelby and tanner in a home based version of headstart. And sewing like crazy.we have had a lot of ran in the past week which has been nice but it has put kyle out of work all week.we lost out cactus in the front yard do to the wind and rain. We are at a marrige retreat for the weekend. It should be nice to get out of the house for a night away.

the happiest time of the year not this year

2009-12-23T06:27:00.000-08:00

They say that christmas is the happiest time of the year. Well not this year so far in the last week we have lost a great actress Brittany Murphy and a few others back to the hands of god. In the last two weeks in my home town of Burney california there was a bank robbery and two men drown in a lake while duck hunting.Just yestarday the was a 20 car pail up caused by a dust storm On Interstate 10 in casa grande that took the lives of 3 people 2 in which were teen agers of a friend of the familys landlord. And also another 20 car pail up on -nterstate 40 do to the snow. So far that four tragic things in two weeks time. And based on the state of the ecomony and the war it does seem like every many peoplea are having a great time this year. And now with these tradges added to it to me christmas time this year isn't by any means the happiest time of the year. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has to deal with any of the traic events that have happend in the past few weeks.

Going to the doctor today

2009-12-17T08:23:00.000-08:00

I go back to the doctor for my follow up appointment after my endo surgery. I am scaried out of my mind. I am not sure what he is going to tell me is the next move. I am not going to let him give me a ton of meds that will make me feel worse then I already do. Will update when I get back.

WoW life has been crazy

2009-12-10T04:49:00.000-08:00

It has been a while since I have updated this blog. Sorry for those of you who read this if anyone still does. Well Kyle got a dwarf race car and he loves it. We race almost every race this season and he got 35th place out of 60 cars. He got a trophy at his last race or geting 20th place out of 28 cars. He had a blast.

As for the kids well they are growing like weeds. Tanner had his 1st birthday in July. He is 16 months old now. HE is so darn cute. and smart. We gave him his first hair cut over the weekend.

Shelby turned 3 in november. SHe is getting so big. She loves to sing and dance and draw. She got her ears piecerd for her birthday. She is going to be starting school next august at the headstart in town.She can't wait.

Gabe is loving school. He goes to the headstart in town and loves it. He goes from 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm. He gets to play and have lunch and a snack then come home. He is learning alot. He isn't the shy little boy I dropped off on that first day that is for sure.

I am still going to college. I am going to be done in march. I have been working really hard on all of it. Also I started having some medical problems and had to have surgery done the beginning of december. I found out that I have endometrosis. And they found a small growth of some kind on my ovarie. So we are going to find out what to do next and see if we can keep me out the to operating room by taking meds to regulate the endometrosis. I have found a new hobby that I really enjoy. Sewing has become my outlet. I love it. I can sit and so for hours. I have started a new blog for that only. It is Addicted to sewing. Come by and check it out.

Well I better go and get something done befor the kids get up for the day. Will try to stay on top of updating since I am working on two blogs now. Happy reading.

Gabe turns 4 today

2009-04-30T06:55:00.000-07:00

Gabriel turns 4 years old today.Wow seems just like it was yestarday we had him. Can't believe he is going to be going to preschool in august. Time flys.

Update

2008-11-12T20:32:00.000-08:00

I know it has been a long time since I last posted anything, and not that it matters becasue I don't think anyone still reads this but I am going to post anyways.

Things are good. We are hanging in there. Money is tight like it is every where in the world. But we are trying our best to make things good the way they are.

I am back in school yet again. Taking A world reglions class and a maketing class. I am almost done with these then I have a few more. I am done in April of this year.

As for the kids...

Gabe is doing great. He is learning things so fast. He is asking alot of questions guess that is normal for a three year old. But he is so darn funny sometimes it just cracks me up.

Shelby is amazing me in different ways everyday. She is learning some many new words and making new sentences all the time. She will be 2 in a few weeks. I can't believe it.

And last but not least is mr. Tanner. He is growing so fast. It is all that breastmilk I guess. He is trying to roll over on his tummy all the time. And really wants to sit up on his own.

Well it is late and Tanner will be up in a little while. Will update after shelbys birthday party.

Our 4 year anniversary.

2008-08-06T15:26:00.000-07:00

Today is our 4 year wedding annivesary. We are unable to go out do to the fact that tanner is sick. So we are going to have to make up our plans for dinner and a movie at a later date. We are completly broke. So I make Kyle a home made anniversary card. I thought it was a cute Idea and wanted to share.

Here is the front of the card:

Here is the inside of the card:

Tanner has Jaundice

2008-08-06T14:19:00.000-07:00

We took Tanner in for his first doctors visit today. He has gained 2 ounces and grew an inch in length. He is totally breast feeding which the doctor was really happy about. But on the not so bright side of things... he has jaundice.They had his levels checked and he is elevated. So we get to have a bili blanket brought to the house. And have it for 7 days. We go back on thursday to have his levels checked again and see what happens next.
I will keep you all updated when I know more

Tanner's birth story

2008-07-31T21:47:00.000-07:00

So Here is out our wednesday morning started out....

I got out of bed around 2 am. I was having some back pain but nothing to bad. It was really buging me so I got up and was walking around the house. I had sat down at the kitchen table to talk to my Grandma about going in on friday to get predicures done. Kyle was going to treat us. And She asked me if I thought that would relax me enough to where it would help with having tanner. I said I didn't know but it was worth a try. I am not kidding a no sooner said that and the contractions started coming. In a 15 minute time frame I had 5 and they hurt really bad. I went in to wake up Kyle so he could leave for work and they had gotten worse. This was at 2:30am, I had told him that He could go on and go to work and if anything happened I would call his mom to come get me. She only lives down the street so she was close if I needed her. Well he got ready to leave and my grandma told him not to go because she was timing my contractions and they were 2 minutes apart. and trust me I was in pain. I was screaming at this point and trying to get in the shower to see if it would help. Well no luck there. So we headed out to the hosptial. So every 2 minutes I was having contractions that lasted a minute and a half or more. By the time we got to the hosptail it was around 6. I wanted to make darn sure that this wasnt' going to stop on the way up there so we labored at home from 2:30 until about 4: 30. So when we got to the hosptial they took me to triage. I was dialated to a 7 and had a blugging bag of water. In the 5 minutes it took for them to move me to L& D I went to an 8. I got a spinal tap and an epidrual because the nurse didn't think that we would have time to let the epidrual kick in befor he was born. Well they were right about that. The doctor came in to check me and broke my water. They asked me if I was feeling any more pain or contractioins. Well no way with all the drugs I had from the spinal and the epidrual. I couldn't feel anything for while. Then all of the sudden it was like I was having period cramps. But on the monitor it was showin as a really big and hard contraction. So they told me to start pushing. I pushed 3 times. And Tanner was born. He weighs 5 lbs 11 ounces and is 17 inches long. He was born at 8: 32 Am. Other then being born at 36 weeks he is doing just fine. He is so tiny but I am very gald to have him here and have him home with me.

We got to come home today at around 3 pm. It was really nice to get to come home to my other two kids so excited to see us and Tanner too. They can't stop asking to hold him and kissing on his little head. They really love this little guy.

35 weeks Appointment

2008-07-23T07:08:00.000-07:00

Well I had my 35 week appt. I gained 3 lbs. BP was good. Heart rate for tanner was 145. Lower then it has been but higher then it was last week when it was 136. Talked to the doctor about what happened at L& D. He said the nurse didn't check me right. I was still only dialated to 2 and still at 80 % effaced. He told me if I went in to labor this week he won't stop me because tanner is mesauring almost a week and a half bigger then he should be. He said to go home and do what ever I wanted to do.DH asked if we could have sex( he is feeling a little deprived). Our OB said I could do anything I wanted to get labor going if I wanted to have this little guy in the next week or so. But he told me that He didn't think I was going to make it unitl NEXT Thursday because as I was sitting there talking to him I had like 6 contractions in a row and they were about 8 minutes apart. Not very strong but they were hurting. He said his feeling won't be hurt if I dont show up for my appt on thursday next week. I hade my Group Strep B test done yestarday also.

My Weekend trip to Labor and Delivery

2008-07-21T05:52:00.000-07:00

I have been having contractions off and on all night and in to the moring. They are about 6-7 minutes or so apart. But are lasting 1 minute 30 seconds or so. I have been having back pains also. They hurt alot. And nothing seems to help but breathing thou them and standing still or laying down and just breathing.
am headed in to L& D. Contractions I had last nigth came back and are just as bad as they were last night. So we called L & D and they said to come get checked out

UPDATE AS OF SUNDAY

According to the nurse at L & D. I am dialated to 3 but closed. But still 80 % effaced. She said that my contractions must have just been more like cramps becasue they weren't showing up on the monitor. Kyle seen them showing up and when ever I would have one that was strong I would make a funny face. So he know that I was having them.So I am home and they told me to just go home a rest. And follow up with my doctor on tuesday when I have my appointment.

34 weeks

2008-07-15T16:59:00.000-07:00

I went in to my appt and I gained 4 pounds. Tanner's U/S looked good. He said that he is in the 75 % percent range. He said he looks to be an average size baby. He is measuring a week ahead of what he should be. But he looks good.

So now to the fun part. My Doctor told me that He doesn't think I am going to make it to my Due Date. I am Dialted to 2 and 80 % efaced. He started me on my one week appts. So it may not be to much longer.

31 Week Appt.

2008-06-25T20:01:00.000-07:00

Everything went great today. I get to go back on the 10th of July for an U/S to check his postion and to see if the dr. can guess on the weight he is going to be. Also he thinks I might be a little farther along then what he thinks. So he is going to check on the U/S to see. Heart rate was 164. I gained 3 more pounds. I go back from my normal appt on the 15th of July. I coudn't see my doctor on the same day as my U/S so I have to go back on a different day to see him. I will be 33 weeks at my U/S. And 34 weeks at my Dr's appt. He wants to start seeing me every week when I hit 36 weeks. He also told me to try to keep tanner in there until I am at least 36 weeks then I can have him anytime I want. Yeah like I have any control over what happens there.

31 Weeks

2008-06-24T22:50:00.000-07:00

I am 31 weeks today. I finally got all of my baby stuff ready. Got the car seat and stuff we wanted. The pack and play is set up in our room. And all I have left to do is get the bottle ready and pack my back for the hosptial.

Things have been a little crazy around here. My SIL is getting the three kids that her and my BIL planned on adopting. So we are working on her adoption shower which is this saturday. I am so exhausted that it is hard for me to day much of anything. But I am super excited that in the next few weeks my niece and nephews will be here for good. I can't wait. They are great kids.

29 Weeks

2008-06-13T17:07:00.000-07:00

Well I am 29 weeks and 1 day but I am measuring at 30 weeks on the dot. I have gained 3 more pounds. That is a total of 6 pounds so far this pregnancy. I have been eating ice like crazy so he told me that my blood level count was a little lower then he would like and to take one iron pill a day until tanner is born. Tanner is head down. which I thougth I felt him flip over the other night and man did it hurt when he did. But everything looks good. I go back on the 25th of June. I am going every two weeks now

26 weeks update

2008-05-20T08:18:00.000-07:00

Well here is my update. I know I have been MIA off and on lately. I
am trying to get stuff done around the house while I am feeling good.
We all just got over being sick. And I had a ear infection along with
my cold. Plus I am on my last week of school for 4 months I can't
wait for a break.

I have 14 weeks left until Tanner is here. It seems like so much time.
But then it also seems like it is so close too. I have been feeling
really exhausted because I am not able to sleep much at night.Tanner
doesn't seem to like to sleep at night. I can only hope that he
changes his tune when he is born. I need my sleep.

I fell the other night after I got out of the shower. I hurt my back
of course it was around 10 or so and woke up my Dear hubby. who was
scared to death. He didn't sleep at all because he kept checking on me
to make sure I was ok. I am still sore from that and then happened on
Saturday night.

We went to phoenix to see some friends of ours and drop off the little
girl clothes to her. This is her first baby so now she is set on
clothes for a while. But we ended up going to the mall to walk around.
I went in the mother hood store just to look around and we ended up
spending 45 bucks. My hubby said I needed a few things.He is so sweet
sometimes.

My sister in law and brother in law that is adopting will have her 3
kids ( a 6 yr old girl, 3 yr old boy and a 1 yr old boy.) In just a
few weeks. They are leaving next week to go back to Missouri to visit.
I can't wait. I am finally going to be a aunt and my kids will have
cousins around their age.

Well I have my Glucolose test on Thursday. Sarah and I have our
appointment at the some time so we will be able to keep each other
company. Let just hope that we don't' have to go back for the 3 hour.
I haven't yet. But now I probably will because I said that. Will
update on that when I get home from the appointment.

Update on Life in my Neck of the woods

2008-05-01T08:01:00.000-07:00

Well we have been really busy lately... with country thunder and school and my kids. I went back to the doctor yesterday and found out that my Placenta moved back up where it needs to be at this stage in my pregnancy. Which is good and means no bed rest.

We had Gabe's 3rd birthday yesterday. I can't believe my baby boy is 3 years old. I will up load pictures later.

Kyle is going in for his vasectomy tomorrow morning. I am so scared about it. He is taking it like a trooper. He is not worried at all.

Can things get anymore stressful

2008-04-06T12:20:00.000-07:00

On top of all the normal everyday things that I have to deal with being a mom and a student full time. Things just seem to get worse before it gets better. I found out on Friday that I have a low laying placenta which means if it doesn't repositions before tanner is born I will have to have him c-section. I am hoping and praying that this fixes it's self and thing are ok. Tanner is a really big little guy. His head is measuring really big for being 20 weeks.

Then to make matters worse my sister Jennifer lost her baby on Tuesday. She was only 16 weeks along. She had to have a D & C done. So we are all really sad about that.

I am struggling with school and not feeling well. I have been cramping off and on for about a week now. And the doctors don't' seem to be worried about it at all. I have been to the ER and then didn't do anything either.

Then to make thing more stressful I am the maiden of honor in my friends wedding in may. I have to plan and host her bridal shower and have no time to do anything. Then we have country thunder coming up on the 19th. And then Gabe's Birthday on the 30th. I go back for another U/S to check on my LLP and Tanner on the 30th also.

It's a boy

2008-04-03T18:03:00.000-07:00

We are having a little boy. Tanner Ray is going to be his name. He is measuring at 20 weeks and 4 days. I am only 19 weeks and 3 days. So we are thinking he is going to be a week or so early.

18 WEEK UPDATE

2008-03-24T16:59:00.000-07:00

Well I am 18 weeks!!!! My younger sister who is pregnant is 13 weeks and my best friend is 15 weeks. I just found out that two more of my friends are expecting also. One is 11 weeks and one is just 5 weeks. So there are going to be alot of baby showers going on in my area over the next few months.

Thing are going good. I start my new classes tomorrow. International business and Cultural Diversity. I have been busy all weekend finishing up my two final projects for my last two classes. We went out on Saturday for a family day out we had a picnic which was nice. The weather was nice but then got a little windy.

On Easter we went to my In-laws house for a small easter egg hunt. It was just from my two kids. I have the only grandkids in the family at the moment. Then we had lunch and came home. And I finished working on my final assignments the were due to be turned in by midnight last night. I finally got them both done to my liking at around 10 pm.

Kyle started a new position at work today. He is still working in construction just running a different piece of equipment. He was moved from the Mesa job site which is an hour and a half drive from home to Chandler. The funny thing is his new job site is on the same street as the hosptial. So he will be close if I go in to labor and have to have someone else drive me to the hosptial. This saves him about twenty minutes on his driving time there and back home.

Other then that not much going on. I went to motherhood maternity and got some capris and new shirt on Friday when I was in Chandler. Planning on going back up there in a few weeks to get some more stuff just waiting on some money to come in to do so.

He changed his mind and an Update

2008-03-18T22:32:00.000-07:00

Kyle has decided to come with me to the U/S. He said he really wants to know what we are having. He was just trying to not have to miss work to go with me. He says if he didn't know it would bug him and then he would end up asking me anyways. So on the 3rd we will hopeful know if it is Tanner or Paige.

Anyways.... I am in my 17th week. I can't believe it. only 22 weeks to go. It sure seems to be going by fast. I want to take it all in because this is going to be the last baby for us. It just seems so unreal to be pregnant again. Things are going good. This little one is very active. There is no sleeping at night that is something we are going to have to work on in the future. And the BH are killing me. It seems to be I have a few every day. And man are they ever worse then I remember with Gabe and Shelby.

News on the other family members...

My sister in law Cherish and Rus my brother in law are waiting to hear on a little girl who is 6 and a little boy who is 2 and a 10 month old little boy. They are planning on adopting. They have been chosen to be the adoptive family for these three little angels. But the foster family is wanting to appeal the judges decision on the adoption So we are keeping our fingers crossed that he rules in my family's favor. They have tried to have their own babies but are not able to. So Let hope that they are able to get this little ones and have a great family.

15 week Doctors Appointment

2008-03-07T05:01:00.000-08:00

I had my 15 weeks doctors appointment yesterday. It went really good. I gained back 5 of the 15 pounds that I had lost. My Doctor was happy to see that I was finally wanting to eat. The baby's heart rate was at 155. Which has not changed much since I first heard it like 4 weeks ago. My doctor is wondering if it is a boy or girl. I am too. I will find out on April 3rd when I go in for My Ultra sound. Kyle still doesn't want to know if we are having a boy or girl. He doesn't care to know at this point which makes it hard on me. He didn't even want to take off work to go with me until I had a fit about him not missing all of the other kids ultra sounds and how he would regret it if he missed this time. So he is going to go with me. It is important to me for him to be there.

My First Dr. Appt

2008-01-11T05:12:00.000-08:00

Feeling a little over stressed

2008-01-09T06:31:00.000-08:00

well I am just feeling a little over stressed lately. Kyle has not been able to work a full week since before Christmas Due to all of the rain days that he has had off. When ever it rains in Mesa he doesn't get to go to work. So that means no pay for that day. He has had a total of 10 days off so far. We are behind on some of the bills and get phone calls all hours of the day and night. It is driving me crazy. I am trying really had not to get stressed out because of the baby but damn it it is hard not to.

My mother in law asks like the world should revolve around her because at the moment she is with out a car. So that means I have to driver her everywhere that she needs or wants to go. So I told her that she could go with me to the doctor on Thursday. Well Kyle has decided that because this week is going to be a short week that he wanted to go with me instead than just head up to work after words. Well she has a fit and says well that means that I don't get to go right. I really need to go and get some stuff from casa grande. Well she is just as broke as we are and she owes us money so where is she getting the money to go spend in casa grande? All she is worried about is her needs and she doesn't' care that it is our first doctors appointment for our baby. That we aren't just going to casa grande so she can mess around and spend money that she doesn't' have to spend. And waste my gas that she isn't going to help me pay back because she is to broke.

For the love of god I am the one who is almost 8 weeks pregnant and I am told not to stress and worry but how the hell am not going to when all this is going on around me.ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

starting from left to right is my Grandma Elise(82), My Mom (39), Me (22), Gabe (2) My sister Jennifer (19) Shelby (1).

We don't get the entire family together like that very often. Now only if my brother could have been here too and we could have had someone other then Kyle to take the picture it would have been just perfect. But I still love it.

My weekend

2007-12-02T23:47:00.000-08:00

My weekend ends on a sad note...

My mom and my sister had to go home on Saturday. I miss them already.

Both of my kiddos are sick, they both have colds. We are working on getting them all better. I just don't feel good either.I think that I am getting sick too. Kyle has already had the cold so I guess I am next in line.

Weeks are winding down in my second set of classes. I am in week 5 and have 4 more weeks to go. I get two weeks off during Christmas break. From Christmas eve to the 7th of January. I need a break the classes I am taking right now are really hard. I am having some issues with the assignments that I have. It is just taking more out of me then I have to give right now.

I need some time to clear my head and get back on track again. Wish me luck this week.

Shelby is on the move

2007-11-29T05:45:00.000-08:00

She has been trying to walk alot lately. Well she is walking more and more everyday. She takes more steps and was long distances every time. I am still trying to catch her with the camera. It always seem that she does it and then stops just as I get the camera out of the bag. She is growing up so fast.

Well post new pictures and video when I can

Shelby's First Birthday

2007-11-26T07:38:00.000-08:00

Well Shelby's first birthday didn't go as planned. For starters I had invited 4 other kids who ended up getting sick during the week and didn't come so my kids wouldn't end up getting sick. I had made party bags and planned to let the kids make their own party hats. So before the party started I had to make up a bag to take to their parents so that they could still get there party stuff even if they won't here to enjoy the party they could still have fun like we all did.

This is a picture of Shelby's cake before the party.
the party bags that I made for all the kids.

We made our own party hats. It was really fun. We did door hangers too.

This is my mom and Gabe making his door hanger. He didn't want to make a hat, he isn't in to hats yet.

My sister Jennifer working on her hat. And door hanger.

My brother in law rusty with his purple crown.

My sisters in law cherish, Kyle’s Grandma, and my mother in law making their hats.

Shelby with her aunt sam. Shelby likes her hat.

My sister in law Cherish and Shelby and my mother in law.

I love this picture. It has four generations of women in our family. This is my grandma, me, Shelby and my mom.

Now on the fun part of this the cake……

Gabe helped Shelby blow out her candle because she just wanted to mess with the cake and try to touch the flame on the candle.

Now Shelby has her cake ….

Shelby liked it so much that by the end of the night she looked like this. After all the gifts were opened I think she was done for the day.

Everyone got a gift for both Gabe and Shelby so that Gabe didn’t feel left out. They got a lot of stuff. Shelby got 3 baby dolls and a V smile Baby, and a play chair with a lamp and table that makes sounds and teaches colors and shapes. Gabe got a dump truck and an out fit and a movie viewer toy. And they each got a animal ball that shakes and giggles.

We had a full day. It was very fun but I am glad that each of my kids have birthday in a different month that are far apart. I don’t think I could do more then one party a month like this.

How shelby came in to this world

2007-11-25T07:07:00.000-08:00

A year ago on this very day this is how my whole world changed. God sent me a little girl to love forever.

About 4 am that morning I got up to go to the bathroom and had some really bad contractions. I got on line and was trying to time them but it hurt so back in my back I couldn't sit for long. So I got up and got my mom up to rub my back with my little back massager she had bought for me. She asked what the pains felt like and when I told her she decided to start timing them. Well they were coming two to three min tunes apart with no break in between. I was lying on the floor of my living room in tears. Screaming in pain from how bad they hurt.

So my Grandma went to get Kyle up out of bed to come be with me. He touched my back and I looked at him and told him "not to $%^&*(@ touch me." I was in pain because of him. My mom thought I was going to do bodaly harm to him.lol. So we get ready to go to the hosptail and it took me ten mintunes to get to the front door and out to my truck to leave. Do to all the contractions and pain. We went by my MIL and picked her up on the way.

Kyle tryed not to hit the bumps that he had tryed so hard not to miss befor. And everytime he did he would almost lose his fingers because I was griping his hand so hard.

We live about 45 mintunes from my hosptail so we had called them to let them know we would be there in 45 mintunes and needed a bed. They said ok. So we had a room waiting for me when I got there.

When they got me back to my room they checked me. I was 7 cm's ( 6:30 in the morning) I got my epidual not long after that.it hurt at first but after a little while I was great. Until the Shaking started. I was shaking like I was have secures of some kind. It went really quick from there. I did infact speak to jessica at 10 cm. She wasn't just making it up. I almost dropped the phone because I was shaking so bad.

I felt my water break and called the nurse to come in. She came in and said that my water had a leak in it and had not fully broken. Shelby had moved her head to cork it . So the doctor came in a poped it with her fingers.

I am sitting there waitng for all the great pressure that you get befor you can push and the nurse come in and says that I have a lady out side calming to be my aunt mandy and wants to come in. So out of the blue my aunt mandy shows up to be part of the birht. She is my aunt that makes plans to do things and never shows up. But she was there so we let her be part of it..

But they said that the baby was almost crowing and wanted to wait a little while for the baby to come down more on her own. So I am sitting her waiting on that I felt this god awful pain down there and the nurse said ok it is time to start pushing again . Well when the hair on her head became visible the nurse tells me that she can see hair and lots of it.

She had me push one more time and then she was like a inch from coming out. And she runs out of the room to get the doctor and she had just enough time to get back and have me push again and at 12:55pm Shelby Joyce Cox was born. I was pooped on as soon as she was put on my tummy. LOL guess that is what she thought about her first look at the world.

I was told that the umbillical cord was twice the normal size and so was the placenta. She asked if I had been told that it was twins. And I said no but I had thought it was in the beginning. Due to the fact that I had a misscarriage and then I find out that I was 7 weeks pregant; so I was pregant with twins and lost one in the early stages and just never got my horomones back together after that.

Well I just wanted to say who all was in the room with me befor I forget, My dear Husband Kyle, His mom Venita, My mom Kathy, My aunt Mandy and My wonderful nurse Shirely. I couldn't have done it without all of them there to help me. Thanks guys!!!!!

Well I spent 4 hours in the L&D room after she was born because of my Blood Pressure was doing werid stuff; So when I finally got to go to my other room she had her first birth which she didn't like at all. She tryed to breastfeed for the first time and it went ok but I didn't have much milk yet.

I was in labor for From 4:30 am to 12:55 pm so that is 8 hours and 25 mintunes; But it was the best thing in the world. I felt so much better after all the swelling went down. Now I feel great.

Shelby and the spoon and bowl.....

2007-11-18T23:07:00.000-08:00

We have been giving Shelby a baby spoon at dinner and she loves it. Well tonight she was eating mash potatoes with it and thought it was a blast. I had to take some messy face pictures to share.

this was before she realized that the bowl would come off the tray of her high chair.

This is after she got the bowl off the tray.

She had so much fun feeding her self tonight. It was cute to watch her do that for the first time. She is going up so fast. I can't believe how fast they grow in such a short amount of time.

Shelby's first advantage with a cupcake

2007-11-16T21:34:00.000-08:00

Today I promised Gabe that we could make cupcakes together. Well I ended up making them by myself after his dad told him he would take him out side to play baseball (that is Gabe's favorite thing to do outside) So after dinner we had cupcakes for desert. Shelby has had pieces of cake given to her but she never had one all to her self before. I wanted to get a peek at what to expect for her party next week. Well lets just say it is going to be fun epically when she get to the frosting part of her cake. This cupcake wasn't frosted yet. She loved it.

Well...

I just finished my first two classes. Now I am on the next two. I got an A on my final project in one class and I am still waiting on the other one to come back to me. I am super excited. I love school.

Well Shelby got her a new bed the other day too. We paid 100 bucks and it is a pink race car bed. We are going to set it up in Gabe's room for now until we get her room done. I don't think she is going to be sleeping in her crib for much longer. She wants to sleep on her brothers bed. I think it is so funny.

She has been trying to walk this week. She has taken 4 steps and then drops and crawls. She is growing up so fast. We have been working on party plans. Just 3 weeks away.

Gabes New bed

2007-11-03T14:18:00.000-07:00

I got a little tikes catalog in the mail the other day. Gabe found a race car bed in there that was 300 bucks. And that was all he talked about for like two days. So I got on the craigslist site and found one that cost us 60 bucks and it came with the board to hold up the mattress. So now Gabe has a new bed. The next adventure is to find Shelby a bed similar to it. She really likes it.

Forgiven those who have done me wrong or hurt me in the past

2007-10-26T21:34:00.000-07:00

This is the dictionary's definition of forgiveness.....

for·give·ness:The act of forgiving; pardon.

Well mine idea of it is to give some one a second chance to fix what they did to you and make it better. I have had alot of people hurt me in many different ways over the years and months in the past. But that is the past and keeping a gourd isn't' going to make me a better person. I have been doing alot of thinking in the past few days and have decided to forgive and forget those who have done me wrong and hurt me. Werther it be a friend who said hurtful things or an ex boyfriend out hurt me in some way or another. A family member who left and said hurtful things to me. Or most of all a family member who did unspeakable things to me.

Over the years and months these things have changed my life and made me in the a better person because of all of it. I am a stronger person.

I forgive you all ever one of you. And my God forgive you when you ask for it.

This picture is one of my favorite. I took it the other night. this was Shelby's first ride on the quad with Kyle. She loved it. So cried when it got to dark for them to ride. Gabe has always loved to be on the quad with Kyle. Now he has to share it that time with his sister too.

Phooson was a Blast.

2007-10-16T09:43:00.001-07:00

Well to explain to the non-Arizona residents that read my blog phoenix and Tucson are about an hour or so apart in distance. I live in between both of them. A radio station(Kiss 104.7) that has a show that plays in both phoenix and Tucson put on a concert in Casa Grande and called it PHOOSON> A mix of Phoenix and Tucson.

We got to see Jordin Sparks,Enrique Iglesias, Fabolous , Ne-Yo,Jonas Brothers, Kat DeLuna, Paula DeAnda. Matt Leinart Allison DuBois, from the median.

Criss Angel the Mind freak was said to be there too but he never showed up until he came over the video screen with apologies of not being there he was working on a stunt in Las Vegas and couldn't get away.

It was a blast. We had a few drinks and had fun dancing around listening to great music. I have more pictures just have to get them uploaded at some point.

My Update for the week.

2007-10-08T13:22:00.000-07:00

Well first off I hate my computer... I was writing a 750 word paper for school. I worked for 3 hours on it. And I went to save the last of it and when I hit save it disspeared off my screen. I spent 10 minutes trying to find it and all of the sudden it came up. I was relieved so I sent it in and got off the computer and left it alone for a while.

We went to the new safe-way on Friday. It is really big and we got alot of great deals. Kyle stopped and rented movies: the Ant Bully, Knocked Up and Collier and Co. And we got Pizza and had movie night.

We went to the Coolidge Cotton Day parade. It was so fun. It was Shelby's first parade every. She liked it. Then we went out on the quad and rode around.

Sunday we took the family out to an old abanded ranch house and watched the sun sat and then came home.

We had fun all weekend having time with the family and enjoying the nice cool weather we are having it has been in like the 70's and 80's all week.

I was told by the doctor and even if we were trying to get pregnant that it wouldn't happen do the the fact that my body isn't working right. It isn't cleaning it's self out right every month.So over the weekend I was not feeling well and I also lost a close friend do a misunderstanding.

Update on School

2007-09-14T19:19:00.000-07:00

So far everything is going great. I got my first evaluation and I got an a for the first week in my GEN 105 class. Still waiting for one from my COM 140 class. We have nine weeks of classes for the next 18 months. My final class is over 05/25/2008.The nine weeks are called blocks and we have 4 boxes which is 8 classes well 10 counting the two that I am taking now.

I am proud of my self for going back to school. I didn't think it would ever happen maybe after the kids were older. But I am very glad that I was able to find a way to go back to school and still be able to be home with my kids.

An update

2007-09-06T04:52:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday we added a new member to the family. His name is Captain. He is a 8 month old English bulldog. He is so cool. My grandma got him for me as an early birthday present. My gram loves me what can I say. I have always wanted to have one of these guys they are so ugly to some people but I think they are too cute.

Well I started school and so far I love it. I get to go on line and go to class any time I want and not have to worry what the kids are doing at home. I am able to log on and be cooking dinner at the same time. it is so great.

Shelby had her nine month check up yesterday. She is 20 lbs 4 oz and 29 inches long. Gabe is 7 inches taller then she is. They did a TB test and a Lead test on her yesterday and I have to go back on friday as a walk in to get the results read off to me for the TB test.

Life is changing fast

2007-08-25T21:40:00.000-07:00

Well it has been almost a month since my last blog entry. I know I am behind on things, I have been busy. I have deiced to go back to school. I am going to get my associates of arts in business. I start online classes on Sept. 3 rd. It is great I don't have to leave the house to go to class. All I have to do is go and get on line and check in to a blog and do my homework. I can't wait to start.

Shelby has started to walk around the couch and holding on to everything and pulling up. She has 8 teeth. She is 9 months old today. She got a new carseat and she loves it. She is growing up so fast.

Gabe is still working on potty training. But it is getting better. He is not enjoying his sister new form of moving around. She likes to pull his hair and take away his toys and he knows he has to be nice to her or he gets in trouble so he just takes what she give him and then comes and tell me or his daddy or his gram that sister is being mean to him. But he always wants her to be on the floor with him where he and she can play. He is talking more and more every day. It is crazy how kids pick up every word you say.

I went and got my hair permed last week. I like the new style change. It is different, it was time to do something new with my hair.

The kids just got back from going away with granny and papa(kyles parents) they went up to prescott to visit some family that lives up there. We let both kids go for 4 days. It drove me crazy not to have my babies with me. Well they came home on friday after noon.Well last night shelby was really fussy and all gassy and she was running a fever too. Great right so now she is sick. She has a slight cold. And we are working on the gas problem. We were up for 3 hours with her last night just trying to get her to go potty # 2. Well we finally ended up giving her some sweet pototoes and it made her go. For some reason when she eats them she gets direaha. But now we know how to make her go with out all the meds.

And as for Gabe well he has a rash of some kind. Not sure what from. we thing it is from the laundry soap that they used. It isn't the same as what we use here at home on their clothes. I have to keep an eye on it and see what happens in the next few days. If it gets worse I will call the doctor and see.

Update on life

2007-08-01T18:05:00.000-07:00

Well we have been really busy lately. Shelby is learning that she can pull up on things and Gabe well we are still working on the potty training. Some days are better then others. Today Gabe told me his "MOO" which is his cow flash light was really sick and he was sick too. Well "MOO" sounded sick(the batteries were dieing.)
Moo was given to Gabe by his gram(my grandma) for doing good on his potty chart for a whole month. They go every where together. Gabe has to have MOO to go to sleep. He likes having it when there is a storm so he always has a light with him.

So when we went in to town to get Shelby's weight check done we got something to make "MOO" feel better. Now they both are feeling much better. Shelby is weighing in at 18 lbs 13 oz. They didn't measure her height right for some reason last time she was around 27 inches long.

We have been having the monsoon storms here since about the 7th of July. And we have got a lot of rain around the state but not very much here in Florence. Kyle thought the other morning that he was going to be rained out. I pray some mornings that we don't get a rain out because that means a short pay check.

We have been helping a friend with his race car for weeks now. On Saturday we had planned on going to race it in Tucson. But that race was canceled do to rain. Some times I hate the rain.

We aren't pregnant this month but haven't given up trying. We are putting it in God's hands.

Shelby learned to stand up

2007-07-15T15:06:00.000-07:00

shelby learned that she can hold on to the side of the play pen and stand up.

some people are just mean

2007-07-10T08:11:00.000-07:00

Well yesterday I went down to my MIL house to drop off my hubby's grandma's AVON order that she had. So when I was down there we were chatting about a friend of mine named Sam who thinks that she might be pregnant .

Kyle's grandma pops off and say " so when are you and kyle going to have another one." well we have decided not to tell his family until we are pregnant and then if the have problem then oh well. They can't say anything about it. Well I told her that we were going to wait a while and kyle's sister cherish pops off and says " well in the world of Kandy and Kyle waiting a while is only like a month or two." and she was really mean about it.

Now she and her hubby have been trying for 5 years to have kids and she has had two miscarriages and every time that I have been pregnant she acts like I am a awful person because I don't have any problems getting or staying pregnant. She has weak eggs and can't seem to stay pregnant and she gets mad if anyone mentions someone else being pregnant. They really want kids but sometimes they don't act like it. They are in the process of trying to adopt. I wish them all the luck in the world.

I know it is a little soon to be trying to have another baby. But that is what we want to do. Gabe was 9 months old when I got pregnant with Shelby. He was 19 months old when she was born. So if I get pregnant in the next few months she won't be much older then that when the baby is born.

I just don't see why other people care what we do in our family. If it is what makes us happy then they should be happy for us.
