Life is good

I haven't had much time to do this blog or much else other than be a "mommy". I have let so much go in the last year and that is for the better in my opinion. For so long I was trying to do way to much and STRESSING myself out. I have this side of me that thinks things need to be picture perfect and only my best is good enough. WELLLLLL.......I gave that up and boy am I happier, the kids are happier and on with life we have gone. So to be VERY honest blogging had gone out the window and I am now hoping to get back my mojo and update more and get back into taking and sharing pictures.

Life with 3 rambunctious boys is a trip, and one that keeps me saying "Holy crap", "What the hell", and most of all "I'm so stinking lucky". It's funny how life keeps changing and sometimes you just can't keep up and when you feel like you finally have.... something comes along to mix it all up again. I have embrace the "MIXED UP" and love my chaotic life.

So on to my to Crazy boys, I'll sum it up in as few words as possible. Their AWESOME!! Everyone is growing and maturing at the speed of light.
Keaton is almost done with first grade and rocks in every subject. He's just finishing the season for basketball and has really matured in his basketball ability.,which is good considering the kids is almost 5ft tall already. He is caring,creative and to smart for his own good.

Ryan has blossomed into a new kid over the last 6months since starting OT and gymnastics. He was diagnosed with Sensory integration disorder along with Auditory processing disorder and another big long diagnosis which i cant spell so I'll just put it in normal person language. He has a mild brain imbalance which causes him to have low muscle tone and trouble crossing his mid-line. All that said he was worrying me for sometime as I couldn't put my finger on exactly what was going on with Ryan. Thankfully I had him evaluated and they saw the things we were worrying about and set us on the right road to getting Ryan back on track. We started OT,gymnastics, home exercises and I am happy to say Ryan has made great improvements in a short time. I was VERY worried I wouldn't be able to send him to kindergarten as I wasn't sure if he'd be ready but he has come along way and I think he's ready. He was just accepted into Keaton's school at Banning Lewis Ranch Academy so I will have 2 boys in school which just BLOWS my mind.

Aiden is happy, curious, smart,and oh so loving. He is no longer a baby and tries to hang with the big boys. He is talking more and more each day, he has learned his colors, loves to say the letters of the alphabet, in love with Elmo and Cookie Monster and wants to be a big boy just like his brothers which scares me to death. At the beginning of Feb. he decided to fly off the coach and land on the ottoman and he snapped both right forearm bones in half which left him with a cast and mommy and daddy with lots of gray hair. Thankfully it comes off the 15th of this month and we can hopefully go on with life and NEVER think about it again. He's begun potty training and doing awesome for his age. Aiden turns two at the end of the month and looking forward to celebrating his big day with a Cookie Monster party. I just wish he'd slow down and just be my baby for a little longer.

Well I guess I'll throw in an update on us. Ben and I are doing well. Life keeps us extremely busy as I've already shared. Ben has been studying to take his PM test in April, and he's been coaching Keaton's basketball team so he's had his plate full and looking forward to the summer to relax. I'm also doing well. Looking into going back to work as a teacher if all works out. Started the process of filling out applications and now just waiting to hear that my CO license has cleared so I can actually put the applications to work. This is a huge deal for me to go back to work and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet so will go with the flow and see what happens. If I don't find a great place for Aiden I'm not going anywhere but home!! I truthfully would like to move and start back to work in NC so if anyone has any offers in Raleigh or surrounding areas let us know. The South still has my heart and the beach is calling my name!!!

So there's are lives in short review. Life is good, kids are great, we are thankful!!

Well that was the catch up on our lives.
