Swim lessons

Jaxon was finally old enough for swim lessons. You couldn't keep this kid out of water for anything. He was doing belly flops off the side of the pool. They couldn't keep him from going under the water. He is a fish!!! I love it!  He was way to advanced for his class. His eyes were blood shot all summer from him opening his eyes under water.

Gum???

 This is so not how I wanted to start our day off. Jaxon woke up at 5 crying he had something stuck in his hair. What??? Well he fell alseep on the couch that night so I just hauled him to his bed.  Little did I know the kid had gum in his mouth. Not just any gum the exrta stick bubble licious. So I tried it all to get it out. But it was on those tiny hairs on his kneck and every thing I did, I would pull them. So I got the good old scissors out( don't worry I am a professional) Luckily yo couldn't tell.  No more gum for him for a while!

Hello!!!

Just a quick update on the cartlon's Since we have been MIA!!!!!

 Ryder made it through Kindergarten. He had the best time. He loved his teacher and made lots of friends. He was quit the ladies man. He would always come home with things the girls gave him. I helped with the valentines party and he got lots of extra hearts on his valentines. One girl even wrote her sentence about him and read it to the class and his mom. 

 Baseball !!! Momma loves baseball season. I love to watch him out there. This kid is a natural at it.

 Summer time means Lehi Round up days. Of course we did the parades and the rodeo. I opted out of the 5k this year.  The kids love the face painting.  We road the train and the tires fell off. Pet the animals. Did some bouncey houses. Got a slushy and headed home to cool off.

 More baseball.

 Mommy and daddy!!!! After 9 years we still got baby!!!

 Camping!!! Finally we went camping. Only once but we were happy with that. The boys love getting dirty and playing hard.  We like to end the days with popcorn and movies before bed.

 Jaxon Turned 3!! This kid keeps us guessing. You never know what this kids is going to do.  He is his older brother's shadow. Anything Ryder does or says Jaxon is right there doing and saying the exact same thing.  At first he wouldn't ride his bike. He would push it or run along ryder as he road. But now he is a maniac on it. He cruises like non other. This kid is fear less.

This pictures discribes Jax to a T.  One sunday we were singing a hymn and I look over and he has his hands above his head doing the rock on sign to the music.  I just had to roll my eyes cause that is our Jaxon.

  In June I hit my one year of starting the program at Red River.  Oh what a journy that has been. But all worth it. Also in June I was called to the young womans.  Two weeks later I headed to girls camp. It was weird being a leader. Having to be responsible and waking the girls up. Dealing with girls crying and all that fun stuff. Oh what have I got myself into.What a way to break me in as a new leader. But I made it. I was very happy to see my boys at the end of the week. We had quit the busy summer. We went camping in escalante. Then I headed to youth conference for three days. While I was gone, Lane had day camp with our cub scouts. I Got back from there Youth conference  and had a week to get Ryder ready for First grade. Yeah now you know why I haven't blogged for a while. Life caught up with me.  We did make it to the pool  a few times. Seven peaks twice. Roosevelt once.

The day has come

Today was a long time coming!!! I had my very last doctors visit. It is such a good feeling to be done. It has been a long rough road for me, but worth everybit of it. I now know my body, more than ever before. I know what my body likes and doesn't like. I know how I feel when I eat things that don't agree with my body. I know how to recover from when I do feel bad.  I know my autoimmune disease inside and out.  I know my symptoms, my flare ups. What is normal for me!!!! 

I haven't had hives for like months now. You hear MONTHS. Before it was like hours or a day.  I was taking so much Zyrtec I had to buy it in bulk. Now I am down to 1/2 a pill a day and soon none.  My energy is awesome. I am loving running again. I love cycling, who knew?  I crave the sweaty workouts now.  My moods are awesome. I don't want to kill people anymore. Hit, maybe but not kill.  Life at home has improved a tone.  I have my diet under control.  I don't want to cheat because I feel crappy.  I now realize sugar is bad for me. No really bad for me.  Little is ok here and there but not like I was doing before.

Life is 110% better for me. I feel good. I feel like the old me again. The one who loved life and lived it instead of letting hives ruin my day.  I want to share my story with every one so they can feel as good as me. I realize now how bad off  I was eight months ago. That life really sucked but I had a reason why it sucked. My body was not healthy. 

So lesson learn: Don't give up!!! If you feel crappy there is a reason, even if doctors tell you other wise. You just have to find the right doctor  for you. Also Prayers are answered. I have had many blessings and personal prayers were said on this matter in my life. It took a long long time to get the answer, but I got it!!!! 

So for me, I feel like life has just  begun for me.  I am the happiest I have been in a long long time. Life is good again.  Yay ME!!!!!! 

Disney On Ice

 Every year  I have wanted to take the boys. So I stopped asking and told lane we were going with or without him. So of course he opted out and Grandma mel came instead.  I was so excited. More so than the kids I think.

 Jasmin and Aladdin. They had all the Princesses come out. The boys kinda got bored during this. Jaxon said Mom I don't the girl Princesses just the boy Princesses .  They did nemo, lion king, mulan,  toy story and the mickey mouse mark. And the incredible s. I missed it but I guess they held baby jack jack up and he peed on the ice.  Of course my kids would love that!!!! 

 You bet they ate the whole bucket. Plus snow cones!

 The green soldiers from Toy story. It was a hit with the kids!!

 Grandma Mel came with us. It got us really excited for Disney Land next year!!!!

Grandma bought the boys a mickey cup that was filled with a snow cone. As you can see they liked it cause it is all gone!!! Thanks Grandma for coming with us we love You!!

The finally with all the characters.  Jaxon's favorite was goofy he would wave like crazy when he came out. Ryder's favorite was  Donald duck and Mickey mouse.  No matter how old you are you  are never to old for Disney!!!!  Loved it!!!

Halloween

 I am Ryder room mother for his class. We played a couple games then decorated cookies. The school had a parade for all the kids and parents can come watch. Since I was there they asked me to walk with them. WHAT???? I did not want to but did. Felt so stupid walking in the gym with all the parents but oh well I made it. It was the longest parade ever!!! We went into every class. Sound fun huh!!!

 Lane loves fall for all the leaves he gets to rake up!! And boy do we have a lot!!!!

After school we headed to  do the main street trick or treating. Then went to the Grandparent. By 7 I was very tired and ready for bed. With all the days activities I was done. So we got Cafe Rio and headed home for the night. The kids had more fun handing out candy than getting it. We went through two bowls of candy this year. It must have been the nice weather.
