It's finally Spring!!

I am so happy the weather is finally getting warmer. I got to wear shorts this weekend! We had a great time at Makenna's school breakfast/Easter egg hunt. On Saturday, Mike and Kevin put together the playset we got on Craigslist for Makenna and Shane! Mike left yesterday and will be back next Saturday.

Here I am!

Sorry for the lack of posts. I feel like I have been sooo busy lately!! With what? I have no idea :)
This past week has been full of therapy, classes, and dentist appointments. Today I am trying out a new Mommy and Me class with Shane!! Hopefully he will like it, and hopefully I can get some good pictures!!! On Wednesday I made Corned beef and cabbage, beer bread, and green jello. Yummy!

Tomorrow, Makenna's school is having a family breakfast and Easter egg hunt. Hopefully more pictures will come from that too!! This is the first of many Easter egg hunts this year for the kids. There is another one for my playgroup next week, and then both of their classes will be having one too.
On Sunday, Mike leaves for Albuquerque. I think he will be gone a week. Not looking forward to him being gone- boo!!

Shane on Disney Ride

He looks so happy and excited!

ESPN weekend at Disneyworld!

We had a super fun weekend in Orlando this past weekend with our friends from Jacksonville! It was ESPN weekend at Disneyworld, and we spent the day at Hollywood studios. On Saturday I ran the Disney 5k with my friends, and then we went to Epcot. It was a memorable weekend!

What a week!

Its been a crazy week for us!!! Makenna had to go to youth care the other day because she was playing around and fell headfirst on the pavement. She sliced her head right above her eyebrow, hopefully it doesn't scar too bad. The doc glued it, and luckily didn't put any stitches in. Makenna was GREAT at the hospital!




Tonight we are leaving for Jacksonville to spend the night at our friends house then Friday morning we are all leaving for Disneyworld again!! We are just going for the weekend this time. It is ESPN weekend and it should be fun. We can't wait!

I love....

my new placemats for my table!! Thank you mom (Rita!)



Makenna had parent observation in ballet, and i took this little video clip... not the greatest quality though, I took it with my cel phone

Cut Makenna's hair!!

It pained me to do it, but I knew she needed to (it was all the way down to her butt!), and it looks really cute!

Not the best week....

It hasn't been the best week so far here! I caught a stomach virus and was really sick on Tuesday. I had a fever, aches, chills, and a lot of other stuff going on. I haven't been that sick in a long time, so it was not fun at all! I pretty much stayed in bed for 24 hours. Mike had to take the day off and take care of me and Makenna and Shane, thankfully. And then last night I was awake most of the night because Makenna threw up a couple times! She doesn't seem as bad thank goodness- she keeps saying she feels ok, and no fevers, so I'm hoping it doesn't get as bad as mine. And then... Mike came home last night early from a flight because he was throwing up! So it's been a domino effect here. So far Kevin and Shane haven't been sick and I am hoping and praying they escape it, because I'm so tired and I've done so much laundry washing sheets over and over again!! I also have Makenna's class Valentine party I am in charge of this Friday, so hopefully everyone will be ok by then!

Father Daughter Dance 2010!

Tonight was Mike and Makenna's second annual Father/Daughter dance!! Mike also took Makenna's friend Madison, who doesn't have a father. So sweet! Ill try to post videos tomorrow!

February!

I can't believe its already February! Hopefully I will be posting more!!! This weekend we are looking forward to the Father-Daughter dance, and I can't wait to take pictures of Makenna and Mike again! It should be a fun day. Saturday, we have a birthday party to go to, then the dance that night. We are having a girls night here at the house playing games while the daddy's and girls go out.

Well, Makenna had her 6 month speech and occupational therapy review. They said that she was a very smart girl, but were concerned about her comprehension of things. I have always worried about that too. They said they thing she is Hyperlexic, and has CAPD, (central audio processing disorder) which will have to be evaluated by an audiologist or neurologist. Basically hyperlexia is the ability to read far beyond the chronical age, which she can do really well. She has an amazing memory, and is able to read a word just by seeing it once. Here is a good site which explains what CAPD is: http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/ears/central_auditory.html
They are looking for someone to have her evaluated either in Jacksonville or Gainesville hopefully.

Yes I am very frustrated about this. I don't know what I did wrong. We try to be good parents, and don't know why both our kids have to have these problems. Its so unfair. But I guess I have to think about the positive things like they are both sweet, loving, beautiful kids, and we are extremely lucky!

Update

Hi!! Im sorry I haven't updated in a while. There hasn't been much going on with us this week. Oh I guess my biggest news right now is that I am going to be taking a few classes online, for medical transcription. I found out of a program called MyCaa where the military will pay 6000 for spouses for a portable career. I chose medical transcription because it is a job that I can do from home on my own time. I chose it because it is flexible and I'll still be able to be home with Shane and take him to therapy when he needs it. I also chose it because the military will pay for the whole thing, which is nice!!

Here's a picture of Shane lounging on his recliner.



And here's a picture of my sweet niece Isla, who just turned a year old!
