update!!!

I know it's a long time coming:)

Well I guess I can start with me. I finally got the position I have been trying for and I start this August and I am really excited to start that. I also just got back from a conference in ST George last week for work. It was alot of fun and I learned alot. I also started a new medication last month to replace the one that was making me sick and I feel so much better now. No more puking and nausea. Right now I am on my summer break and have been super busy but I think things are starting to slow down a bit.

Rick is doing well. He is still having back issues but that will be a life long thing. I hate seeing him hurt so bad :( He has been working steady which is great. He has also been really busy being the assistant cub scout master. Deshawn loves having his dad be there with him.

Adam has grown like a weed lately. He now towers over me:( He has been playing baseball and there team is going to state next month and he is real excited for that since his teams have never been to state before. He even gets his picture in the newspaper and he thinks that is pretty cool. We just got him signed up for football starting in August and he is excited for that too. I am a little nervous for him but I keep being told that I just worry too much.

Deshawn has been struggling a little with his behaviors but we just switched his meds a little and hopefully that will give him some relief. He is loving summer and being able to play with all the neighbor kids.

Parker is also very happy it is summer. He and Deshawn are also playing machine pitch right now and they practice all the time. I am just waiting for a window to break :)

So there is a very short update and I hope there are still a couple of you that check back every once in awhile.

Blogging

I don't know why it has been so hard for me to blog these days. I love being able to journal things and share with people what's going on in our lives but I have really let the ball drop.

So I guess I better update you all on what's been happening lately in our lives. I just had my 34th birthday. I am still working with the school district and I am always searching for a better position. But I am grateful for what I do have. Financially we are hurting right now (along with the rest of the country) so I keep on looking for something that will pay better. As far as my health goes I have been doing really great as far as my diabetes goes(yay me).

Rick is still working in drywall and they have been pretty steady which is great. He has been working out of town alot which has been super hard on us. We really depend on him around here. Now if we could pick up side jobs again like we used to that would be great. I am not sure if I have mentioned it before but Rick was diagnosed with Diabetes in August and he was able to get it under control real fast and has done a great job managing it.

Adam is playing basketball and is currently tied for 1st in his division with one more game to go so he is hoping to take 1st. He is now officially taller than me :( I can't believe how big he is getting.

Deshawn is doing AWESOME in school. He has tested out of all of his resource classes and now is fully mainstream schooled. He still gets speech 2 times a week for 30 min.

Parker is crazy and a busy, busy boy :) We love every minute of him.
