Today I took Tyler to get evaluated for the special needs preschool. He has a little speech delay but he is delayed in other things as well. So I figured it wouldn't hurt to get him evaluated. Turns out he is delayed in 4 of the 7 areas they look at. So we will be going back in August and get another eval and then hopefully he can start school by the first of September. That would be really nice for him...and for me! That break would be awesome!!

Jacob is going to get his tonsils out tomorrow. I am pretty nervous about it. I dont know why I am so nervous since its a very small surgery but I cant help but be nervous. Im a mom and I am a worried mom at that haha. I am sure he is going to be fine. I cant wait to see about whats going to happen when he is all fine. They told me that he could calm down a little bit and sleep better. I am so excited to see if he can finally sleep without being medicated. That would be awesome!

I know its been like 5 months since ive updated. I thought I would start doing it more often. So, to start off im going to do a little tag that I got tagged with a while ago but never got to it.

Past, Present, and Future

20 Years ago: I was 6...almost about to turn 7. Probably swimming a lot and playing with my friends.


10 Years ago: I was 16...thinking about getting my drivers license. Hanging out with Sharon and Nicole a lot. I was working at Foodinis with Jermaine...and having A LOT of fun!

5 Years ago: I have been married for 2 years. Had a baby...Jacob was almost 2. We were on our 3rd house, living in Texas. I was 3 months pregnant with Tyler. And really missing home. This is about the time I started to get VERY homesick and ready to move back.


3 Years ago: Tyler was born and was about 18 months old. We had been going through some genetic testing with Tyler. Lots and lots of doctors and tests. This is also when we found out Jacob had autism. Started a whole new period in our life.


1 Year ago: We have finally gotten a good routine...and found some awesome therapists. We started school at LIFE academy and things seemed to be looking up for us.

Yesterday I: Went to church, taught a lesson to 4- 3 yr olds, had a fun fathers day at my parents house, and went to bed really early...and it was great!!


Today I: Have done lots of laundry, cleaned my house, packed up our clothes. Made some waffles for the kids for breakfast and will be making yummy sandwiches for lunch. I also watched Armageddon (such a great movie!!)

Tomorrow I Will: Be having a great time...in good weather...Missing my hubby since we will be apart from each other for a few days.


In the next year: I hope to have life even better than it is now!!

This is really hard for me to post on here...but we need everyones prayers right now.

My sister, Shelly, was just diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. I just cant believe that someone in MY family has cancer. I have had grandparents and cousins have it. But when it hits one of your brothers or sisters or parents...it is a lot harder to take.

This has hit me very hard for some reason. But im trying to stay strong for my family. Which is why im on here. We need everyones prayers. We need you to pray so hard for her and her family. She has 5 little kids and they are so young and they dont need to go through this. We are all fasting for them on Sunday and if you could PLEASE do the same!! If you want to read her blog its http://www.bslomu7.blogspot.com/

Ok, so I know I haven't updated in a LONG time!! But im addicted to facebook now and well, blogging has been on the back burner. but if you want to add me to facebook just look me up!

So I had to post this about what happened tonight. So my friend Sharon and I went shopping late tonight to pick up a few things she needed. We went to Old Navy where they were having a killer sale. I even picked up a cool shirt for Tyler for 99 CENTS!!! I couldn't believe it. So anyways, I saw this jacket and it was on the sale rack but it didn't have a sale price on it so I thought I would ask the people up front if it was on sale. So I get up there and she rings it up and it rang up at the regular price for 24.00. She was like that's ridiculous and I don't think it should be that much. How does 4.99 sound? I was like HECK YA!! That sounds awesome haha. So I got a nice jacket for 5 bucks. I thought that was the deal of the year right there for me! So I thought I would share.

On a family update everything is going good here. All of Jacobs blood work and tests came back fine but she wants to see us in 6 weeks to see if he has gotten worse on anything or improved and we will do more testing then. We are all getting ready for Christmas and its been fun. Tyler is so into Christmas and Jacob is getting there.

We had Tylers bday party today with his cousin Caleb. Caleb was born 5 days before Tyler so it was fun to have their bdays together. They were so cute and got some fun stuff. I will post pictures later when I do my Christmas post.

My brother, Trent, was just called as Bishop!! I cant believe that I have a brother that's a bishop. That is so cool but I do feel bad for his wife haha. We were in their ward when he was announced and it was so cool to be there for his setting apart. Congrats Trent!!

I guess that's all from us for now. Hopefully I will post more...I know im slacking big time on it. Maybe in the new year I will get better!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! I know we sure did.

Today we had to get Jacob's blood drawn for some of the blood tests that we have to do. So we went in there and he was pretty nervous. He started crying when they put the needle in and then as soon as he saw the blood go in the vials he was fine. He thought it looked so cool that his "bleed" was going in the vials. So they had to take 3 tubes of blood from him. The first 2 were fine. Then she put the 3rd one in. And all of a sudden the blood stopped coming. So she jiggled the needle a little bit and put it in and out and still nothing. Jacob started screaming because he was really scared. All of a sudden he just went limp in my arms!! He had passed out!! I wont lie...I was really scared when it hap pend. Then a few seconds later when he woke up I was laughing because it was kinda funny. And those who know tom....knows that he HATES needles. And he will pass out just seeing them. So Jacob passing out was just funny because his daddy does the same thing. Then when I tried to tell Tom the story he made me stop in the middle of it because just talking about needles was making him light headed haha.

Tomorrow we go in for Jacob's MRI. And that I am pretty scared about. They are putting him out so they can do everything fine without having to worry about him. I am glad they are putting him out before they put the IV in or else he would probably pass out for them too.

Jacob has a new love. Its a little crazy and I'm not sure where this came from. But he LOVES infomercials!! He will actually sit and watch them and soak up all the info and then come tell me all about it. Well since Toms birthday is on Saturday, Jacob has been on the lookout for the perfect present. Well last night I think he found it (so he thinks). It was an infomercial about a sandwich maker. He told me about it for a good 5 min and if we were in the market for a new sandwich maker I would of been sold. Although, it doesn't take much to sell me on things if a 6 yr old can do it haha.
