good look'n jeremy

So I can't remember if I posted that Jeremy had Lasik surgery on his eyes. It's so amazing. He has like 20/20 vision now. I'm very excited and happy for him. I think it's really nice for him not to worry about taking care of his contacts and dealing with that anymore.

fried motherboard again

Our computer fried again. We have the worst luck with computers. Our kids haven't even been on it very much lately. I'm on Jeremy's laptop. His computer doesn't have new pictures on it.

We're all doing great. Jackson has two more doses of medicine today and then he's done. I can't tell if he's getting bigger or not.

Makayla is loving her new school and primary. I love that she loves to be there and has adjusted so well. She's getting really good at her lower cases letters and at sounding out words.

Isaac still is having a hard time at church. He doesn't want to stay in singing time and sharing time, but he enjoys class. We've been going to playgroups and he's meeting new friends and does pretty good playing with other kids. I thought having friends from his sunbeam class would help him at church, but now he wants to play and wrestle with them during singing time. He is definitely my hard child to figure out.

Jeremy is getting closer and closer to having salesmen here. I think he has 1 1/2 weeks til they get here (all 13 or 14 of them) I think he's going to be busier than he thinks. As long as he can keep enough techs trained and ready to go, it will be better than his first summer in Houston.

Our kitchen is still riped apart. We may have found someone to fix it. We're just waiting for him to give us a quote. I can't wait to have a pretty kitchen.

bye bye diarrhea

I'm so excited. The baby has been taking some new meds for the last two days and his diarrhea is gone. I'm so excited for him to start gaining weight. They think he'll be fine after taking this medicine for 10 days his diarrhea should stay gone and he should start gaining weight. I went to the specialist on Wednesday and he kind of gave me the business about why he was so small and why I hadn't seen him sooner and didn't I know that Jackson was grossly underweight for his age and then he showed me where on the charts he was and where he should be. I felt so stupid and like the worse mom ever. Than I realized that he had read jackson background (surgery, and 5 rounds of antibiotics in two months) When I explained everything to him, he told me to finish the meds and give him pediasure and that he should be fine.

Our kitchen is still in pieces and we've fired our man so now we need to find someone else to finish I think we a little afraid of what it will cost to fix all the mistakes.

love ya all

doctors doctors doctors jackson is so sick of doctors

So we went to our new pediatric doctor. Jackson had his one year shots and I was concerned about his weight and having constant diarhea. JACKSON WEIGHTS 16POUNDS 2OUNCES! He hasn't gain any weight in the last like 4 months. I knew he wasn't gaining much but it really stuck me when I got back form Mexico, just how fragile he looked. He's had really bad diarhea since November. Which the doctors' thought was just from all the antibiotics he's been on since November, but now they're not so sure . He's having tests done (we had to give blood, urine and like 8 poo poo samples.) I don't know exactly what they're looking for. Something to do with his body not absorbing vitamins, allergies, or maybe he caught something by taking so many antibiotic that is messing up his digestive system. I also have to go see a G.I. which I think stand for Gastric Intestinal specialist.

These pictures were taken about a month ago. There's been a few changes but not many and there will be more changes soon. I'll keep trying to post more pictures.

I may have to post each picture of the house separately. Our kitchen is still not close to finished and we haven't seen the guy in over two weeks. We've talked to him. We need to find someone else to finish it for us. Half our back splash will have to be redone and maybe one of our counter tops. We keep learning the lesson "you get what you pay for" and a lot of time you end up spending more on the cheaper guy because of mistakes. (which is the case with us and our kitchen)

Dallas Temple Trip

Here are some pictures we took while at the Temple last month. We had never been to see the Dallas Temple, so it was fun for us and the kids to see it. It was also very cold, so our trip was pretty short. One trip around it, a few pictures, then on to our friends house, the Bells, for dinner.

You can see in one of the pictures evidence of Isaac's fall at Target. Chauntel was with the kids while I was at home working and he hit his head on the cart. They sent for an ambulance, friendly shoppers were helping watch Jackson and Kayla, and we ended up taking him to an urgent care place to glue him back together.

Mexico or the real world?

If I can get my pictures posted it would be a lot more fun to post. Jeremy and I have been home for a week now. I'm wishing I was back in Mexico. Our kids are so bad lately. I've been embarrassed lately whenever I'm out with them. (more than usual anyways)

Mexico was wonderful. Jeremy and I have only been away without the kids (over night) maybe once or twice in the last five and a half years. So 5 day and 4 nights at an all inclusive resort was absolutely amazing. The whole resort was great. I got my first Pedi and went snorkeling for the first time. We loved snorkeling so much we went twice. We loved being able to hang out with everyone that Jeremy works with they're great. especially Niki and James. We miss them and we've seen more of them since we've moved than were there for a while.

Thank you again to grammy poppy and aunt linda. They were wonderful with our sick (throwing up kids) Jackson still won't say hi to us like he did all week with them. The kids are always informing me that they were good for grammy because she's nicer than I am.

trouble posting pictures?

Is anyone else having trouble uploading pictures.

I've been trying to post pictures of the house, the kids, and our vacation but it won't let me.

So Jackson hasn't been wearing his helmet since Thursday. On Thrusday when I was giving him a bath and I noticed he had a sore on his head. I called the doctors office and they said to leave his helmet off til they could see him. They couldn't get him in and we could get three til Thursday so tomorrow we're driving to Houston. I'm really worried about his helmet situation and how they're going to fix his head. It seems like it will look better for a while and then something will go really wrong like his head bulging on top, the sore, and now it seem like there's a ridge forming along his forhead across his forhead right above his eyebrows. We only saw it because his helmet has been off for so long and you can only see it (well) outside in good sun light.

finialy pictures but not a kitchen

So we bought a camera but our kitchen is not done yet. It was demoed last Tuesday and its now Wednesday. So it's been over a week. We're getting so stress out without having our kitchen usable. We are getting so sick of eating out and are so ready for a clean house, without strangers walking around, and a healthy home cooked meal. I think it will take two more days at least for him to finish, but we'll be gone tomorrow, and Friday. He doesn't work on Saturdays and we don't work on Sundays so Monday and Tuesday are it because I leave for CANCUN MEXICO ON WED.!!!! With all the stress of the surgery, moving, and remolding I'm really looking forward to a few days without kids.

Dallas Cowboy

I forgot to tell everyone. We changed Jackson's helmet stickers from Astro (who we love) to the Dallas Cowboy (who we'll learn to love in time)

no camera yet

Today our kitchen is supposed to get finished. I'll believe it when I see it. We were supposed to close on our house this friday but their financing has changed and they need to wait a few more days for one more paycheck. Which means we have to pay on our mortage again. Which really sticks because that's when our new houses mortage starts.

Sunday Makayla had to leave church early because she had a fever of 102. I've been checking on her through the night and she's still got a fever and hasn't really eaten or drank anything in almost 24 hours and she doesn't want to take tylenol. I hope we don't all get sick.

Thursday Jackson has an appointment with his helmet doc. He hasn't been able to wear his helmet since thursday afternoon. because his helmet caused a sore on the top of his head so hopefully when we go on thursday they can figure out what is wrong so we don't have to make the trip to houston for awhile. He's looking really good. Well at least I think so.

Isaac is getting better everyweek at church so maybe in a few weeks he'll remember that he likes primary so he'll go without me. I've been going for opening exercises, but not to his class. Last week it was really hard at first but then when it was time to go he put up a fight and went kicking and screaming all the way to the car.

Next week we leave for cancun. I've never been out of the US so I'm really excited. Grammy and Poppy are coming to watch all the kids. We wouldn't be able to go if it weren't for them. I'm so glad that they're willing to drive here and watch our rugrats. We're very excited to show them our home. I hope poppy's willing to do a project or two for me. If not I'm sure I can figure them out when I get home. I want some shelves in the game room and a bench under the window to store toys. I'm learning how impatient I am. I want my house done already and when I say done I really mean prefect. Which realisticly that could take a few years.

I love you all and miss everyone. Come and visit us everyone.

No Camera

So these are old pictures that I never blogged. In the last two weeks we've moved, unpacked, removed paperboarders in three rooms, painted three rooms, had our roof blown off and than repaired, had our contractor for our kitchen not show three times, two kids throwing up and had one trip to the urgent care center. (Isaac split his head open at target. I was with the three kids by myself. The ambulance came and it was crazy)

So it been a little crazy and mostly because of our lack of routine. It's kind of hard on the kids to not have a routine but if they are watching T.V. all day I through them out back to play on our swing that has no swing on it and is pretty old. I deserve the mother of the year award for how much t.v. they've been watching for the last two weeks. j/k

We are so excited to finish painting and changing things around. Our new countertops and backsplash should be installed next week if our joker contractor shows. I'm so excited about my new kitchen. I decided on laminate smoky topaz counter tops (black) and white waynes coating for our backsplash. We're keeping the floors the way they are till next year and the cabinet are staying the color they are. I seriously considered painting them white but I'm so sick of painting and having a messy house that I think I'm going to love them the way that they are.
