Holding onto the wall

Holding onto the wall.

Well today I took jr to a birthday party at a roller skating rink. Boy was that fun hehe, well it took me forever to convince him to even put the skates on!! But after I did that was all he wrote LOL. He actually loved it!! He held onto me and the wall the whole time. He was so cute. He did fall once but he was a good sport and got right back up and tried again. It was so funny cause he was holding onto my arm so hard that my arm was turning white. Toward the end of the party when they were about to eat cake he wanted to go from our table to the table where the cake was and went by himself with his skates on and didn't fall. That just made his day....yelling across the room "Mommy did you see that I didn't fall". Oh how I love moments like that!!

We also went to Olive Garden tonight for dinner. It was my turn to pick a restruant for my birthday dinner. Well the babies were awesome and ate all their dinner. We had NO screaming, just good kids. I love it when we do get to go out and everyone acts right so it's actually an enjoyable experience.

Crazy/boring day.

Can that even be possible? Well I am here to say that it is. I found out my test results today and I did fail it again. I do have one more chance to take it so we will see. I haven't lost hope yet but I am on the edge. Anyway, so the first part of the day was soooo boring. I got AJ a video game for his XBOX 360 for his birthday. Well that was a mistake because I think he has been on that game since then. I think we may have a permanent imprint in the couch!! Well when jr got him I checked his Friday folder (just a folder that holds all his papers from the week and his spelling test). Well he got a 100 on his spelling test and also got the bonus word WOO HOO!!! So me and little man already had to go to Wal-mart and get a little toy for a birthday party we are going to tomorrow so I figured that I would suprise him and get him a new toy while we were there. He was so cute when we got to the toy isle because while we were on our way there he asked him if could get a toy and I told him "not today"....hehe I'm so sneaky. Well I told him to pick a toy out for his friend and then we were looking at the Bakugan toys and he was like this is the one that I wanted to get and I was like well go ahead and put it in the cart. His face was priceless, it was so worth it!! That boy talked my freakin ear off while we were out. Since we have had the babies me and jr haven't gotten to do a whole lot together so I haven't really been as up to date with his life as I want to, but today OH MY. I heard about all his friends at school and what they got for christmas and tons of Bakugan stuff and a lot of Pokemon stuff WOW is all I can say. Well anyway after we got home it was time to start making dinner. Well I made AuGratin potatos...yeah we had to through them away cause I forgot to put the sauce mix in it. GEEZ!!!! Oh and while I was making dinner Sofia decided that she wanted to play with the computer chair and busted him lip open......blood everywhere. It actually wasn't that bad but anything on the head bleeds a lot. Oh yeah I almost forgot poor little Wyatt was so tired he fell asleep on the playroom floor. AHHH we felt so bad so we had to put them to bed early tonight they were so tired for some reason today. Cody I think is going through a growth spurt...that boy has been eating everything that I put in front of him...I even caught him trying to steal Sofia's plate during breakfast and lunch today.

My birthday

So I turned 28 today. To most this isn't a big deal and it really wasn't to me either...let me tell you about my day. First of all I was woke up to my husband bringing me breakfast in bed, eggs, bacon, toast, coffee, and milk. I was so excited. He put some pillows behind me to set me up. Put the food in front of me, took my phone and turned on the t.v. So I got to sit up in the bedroom and enjoy my breakfast and watch the news while he was downstairs getting the babies breakfast ready and getting jr off to school. When I was done around 8:30 I got up and decided that the house needed to be cleaned. So for the next 7 hours I would clean and think about things. Its very hard to put into words and make people understand my line of thinking but I will try to tell you. First of all I am 28 years old today and what have I done? I didn't finish college because life happened. We had jr and I needed a job. So I went and got a job at a dental office. Things were going great, I was moving up and I thought okay I have a family and a career. My life is great. Then we got pregnant with the triplets. Now I stay home everyday and clean, cook, and change diapers. Although it is very rewarding and some people would give their right arm to be able to stay home and care for their own kids I wonder is that what I am supposed to do for the rest of my life? It almost makes me feel like I am not contributing to society. I do know that what I am doing is very important especially for my kids, but what am I gonna do when they start school in 4 years or even when they leave home and go to college? At that point I am going to be to old to "start" a career. I have taken the Medical Transcription class but I can't seem to pass the freakin exam. I have taken it twice and the first time I failed it. You get 3 chances to take it, so I took it again and was supposed to find out my results today but I just didn't want it to ruin my day so I am not checking my e-mail until tomorrow. I just didn't want to make this day any worse. I feel good about the test but I also felt good about the first one and that one didn't turn out so well. I guess everyone wonders is this life...is this what I am supposed to be doing? Guess one day I will know...

Wow how fast they grow!! You don't really realize it until you put pictures side by side. I have to say we have been through a lot this past year, moving across the country from North Carolina to Wyoming, moving into another house, dealing with the cold of Wyoming!! All 4 kids did a great job adjusting to all the new changes. I was really worried about jr, having to leave all his friends and move to a place. Well I have learned that children are very resilient. That boy has made so many new friends and loves his school. We are so very proud of him! Then the babies..of my gosh...it's like night and day. They were so tiny at the beginning of the year and now Sofia and Cody are up and walking around. My little Wyatt is working on it, he has let go and stood there but only for a few seconds. Sofia is my little helper, she is so cute she brings me everything and she is so sweet, always wanting kisses and hugs! Cody is going to be my trouble maker...that boy has no fear!! He will climb, run, anything and doesn't care if he gets hurt! He is 100% boy!

Its been a long time!!

WOW I didn't realize that it had been so long since I had updated my blog...I promise in the future that I will update more often. So much has happened since I have been on here. First of all I am finally finished with my class. Thank goodness!! I am just waiting for my final scores to see if I can find a job. Sofia and Cody and now walking everywhere!! They are so cute walking around. Wyatt is still just pulling up but he won't let go yet. My mom and dad came for a visit which was wonderful!! Leslie and Nathan also came for a visit and almost froze to death LOL. It has been snowing here for the past 2 days and is supposed to snow for another 2 days, so far we only have a couple of inches but we are supposed to get a BIG front coming through tonight so we'll see how much snow we get then. Jr is doing great in school, he has gotten a report card and made straight A's. I will upload some pictures later and get more into detail at another time. I'm staying really busy at the moment. Thanks for the understanding!!

Good news!!!

We got some wonderful news yesterday....on October 8th we had Stride learning come to the house to evaluate the babies to see if any of them qualified for physical therapy or speech therapy. I really wasn't concerned about Sofia or Cody but they said since they were gonna be here they would just evaluate all 3 of them. So of course I figured why not evaluate all 3 of them it would be nice to see where they all were. Well they called yesterday and gave me their evaluation. They said that Sofia is actually 4 months ahead of where she needs to be, how great is that!! I always figured that she was ahead but its nice to hear it from someone else. Well Cody is actually 2 months ahead of where he needs to be. He is a smart little cookie! Then for Wyatt who I was really concerned about is actually right on target. I was actually suprised to hear that but considering that they other 2 are so far advanced it does make sense. Now the only thing we are waiting on it the referral for the ENT to go and get Wyatt's tongue clipped. I feel horrible for having waited so long cause I know its gonna hurt the little guy but the Dr. back in NC was just so frusterating, it didn't seem like she was willing to do anything to help him out! Oh well hopefully we can get it done quickly!

Snow in October?!?!?!

Well here we are in October and have a foot of snow on the ground!! Wow never thought I would see the day....that is until we moved out here to Wyoming! So they were calling for 3-8 inches and I just figured that we would get SOME snow, well when I woke up there was a suprise, TONS of snow! It was the most beautiful thing everything was covered. Jr absolutly loved it! He went out to play in it twice. The first time I think he stayed out to long cause the temp was 11 with a windchill of 0 and when he came in we actually had to put him in a warm bath and give him hot chocolate but that didn't hinder him from going back out in the afternoon. So he had a blast. I know we are gonna get a lot of snow this winter but right now everything is new and its amazing!
