A Catch-up Post

I am sooooo far behind on blogging. Our computer crashed in January and I finally took it in to get it fixed and they couldn't fix it. So, I decided to just save up for a new computer. I finally saved enough and bought my new laptop about a month ago. I love it! I thought when I got it that I would just jump right back into blogging, but I guess I got out of the habit. I don't even know where to start to get caught up on everything.

Kenzie is officially done with elementary school. She is spending the summer sleeping in and hanging out with friends. She also helps me a ton around the house and with the other kids.

Cierra is doing pretty well right now. She just finished up 2nd grade and is thrilled to be out of school for the summer. She is still having lots of small seizures, but she hasn't had a big seizure for a few weeks. We are playing around with meds right now. Once we get her completely tapered off of one of her meds, we are going to go up on another one and hopefully we will see good results.

Caden turned four last week. He had a great party and loves all of his new toys. He made great progress at school this year. I am so proud of all that he has accomplished. He is talking great, but still has a hard time understanding and articulating things the way that the rest of us do. He also still struggles quite a bit with his sensory issues. He misses school so much! He asks me everyday to take him to school. He had a great teacher that did so much for him.

Tyler is now 8 months old. He weighs 23lbs and is 30 inches. He started crawling last week and it so cute to watch. He crawls very slowly and carefully. He is clapping and pointing and can sign "baby", "more", and "all done". He is just the sweetest baby. I love his cute, little personality. He has decided lately that he doesn't need any sleep, so that is frustrating, but hopefully we can get that all worked out soon. He cried for an hour tonight before he finally passed out. I hope tomorrow night is better.

Erick is still working in New Mexico and the kids and I are still living in Utah. We are hoping to be living in the same house again before the summer is over. It has been really hard on all of us. We might even have some answers this week *fingers crossed*

Here a few pics from the last few months :)

All right! An update! I can't believe how grown up your girls are! Nice looking family, T.Chuck looks outstanding and I'm jealous of Caden's hairdo.
