Some catch up, cause really...it's been too long!

There's no possible way to get completely caught up! BUT..here are some of the "better" highlights!

Since being here, my health has kinda gone to the gutter. The good news is that I've found a Dr. that doesn't just throw pills at me. She's actually searching and getting to the root of the problems going on. I'm feeling so so grateful for her and Heavenly Father putting her in my path! So...yea me! The rest of my life is below. ;)

Jason has been amazing while my health has been worked out. He's amazing anyway. He's struggled with some personal feelings with people (plural) in his life...which makes me want to throat punch them....but he's so forgiving and genuine in what he does. Sometimes I wish we could all see each other how their spouse does. Overlooking what we fall short in and focusing on what we love. I should stop before I say too much. (it's a problem I have!)

Sam got the picture this post....for the reason below...it helps to remember how cute he was (is)!
Sam informed Jason and I the other night that he's ready to date. I was so glad it was in the car...and it was dark so he didn't see my eyes stick to the back of my head from rolling them so hard! That and keeping my laugh hidden..... this is what Jason said to him.

Sam: "I decided I'm going to go ahead and date"
Jason: "how are you going to go get her, on your skateboard? How are you going to pay for it?"
Sam: "my points" (we give them points for doing jobs or favors...every 3 months they get to purchase something or do something)
Jason: "yea, the movies don't take 'points' and we don't give points for that"

I'm considering drinking instead of dealing with teenagers! ;) so kidding!!!! (in case those of you with no humorous funny bone thought I was for real!)

I'm praying the other kids are watching and Sam makes good choices. And then we can just stomp out other fun and interesting problems! Good night!!!!!! Now I see why my parents basically tried to keep me in a straight jacket! I'll let ya know how it turns out. (look for Vodka bottles ;))

McKelle is being the shining star she was meant to be. I really have to watch her for her things going on. Bless her heart...being taller than most kids her age is not fun. I'm so grateful for the youth in our ward. They have been so great to her (and Sam) and accepting. She is just pushing forward and doing her best in most things. Sam actually made the comment "I know I don't do things perfect like McKelle but...". (I corrected him..no worries!) She's a good girl.

Ben....sweet Ben! I'm worried for him to go to Middle school next year and how he'll deal with that. I am at a lost as to how to prepare him for this. I never worried for the other two...anxious, but not worried. He's amazing. He has defenses. He's the weird guy that has zero social skills. My heart aches for what's ahead for him, he's not like most kids. His heart is soo sensitive. His Spirit is even more so. BUT...if you ask him. He's good! A few bumps here and there, but happy! ;)

Zoie......I could throw her teacher through the nearest window! She has put such "importance" on this homework she sends home that Zoie gets sick over it. (literally) If it's not all just perfect and I haven't dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's...the day it's due, she gets a stomach ache. Bless her heart. It wouldn't be such a big deal...but she sends a lot of homework home...plus reading. Which for one maybe two kids...not a huge deal. Let's put a couple teenagers into the mix! We're getting through it though....just can't wait for the end of the year to be rid of this lady!!!! Other than that...she's our Zoie. Flits and flitters through out the house singing whatever musical she's watched last. (this week it's 'Thoroughly Modern Milly' and 'The Music Man') So cute!

So there ya go! I've soo missed blogging. I realized just how much I journal while blogging and work things out! Love it!!!! AND....love you!!!!! Mwhaaa!!!!
