I love my kids. I love my kids. I love my kids! Today was that kind of day, where I had to remind myself of this fact. Yes we asked for and prayed for the wonderful blessing of children. I am going to be very blunt... No body ever tells you how hard it is sometimes. I tried to clean today and that was a complete waste of time. I was in one room cleaning and the kids were in another making a mess. So I put them all in the room that I was cleaning and I just ended up being a referee and getting no cleaning done. Next we headed out back and while I was trying to do some yard work they decided to "make some mud". Needless to say I now have a whole load of laundry to do of mud covered clothes. So back indoors we went, where they proceeded to dump every toy out while I sat to feed the baby. After asking for them to clean up about a hundred times I gave up. Instead of completely loosing my cool I turned on the tv and walked away. Turning on the tv kept them distracted enough to stop the spread of ciaos. I had been counting down the seconds until Daddy got home until I sadly remembered that tonight is a school night and he wouldn't be home until well after bed time. I am very luck that I have a caring husband that understands when I call him and tell him I need him to ditch school tonight :) So to be honest sometimes I really don't like my kids (be truthful you don't always like yours either). There are some days that I wish I could just stay in bed, have a clean house, eat ice cream while watching tv with out kids asking if they can have some, or go out with out having to get 5 other people ready to go. I love them no matter what and although I have a bad day here or there I wouldn't change my life for anything. (while I was writing this #3 and #4 were cracking eggs in the back yard) KIDS! Malayna, Bobby, CJ, Eva, and Lindy you guys wear me out but I love you!!

I hear a "click"
Well Lindy had her 2 month well baby check up. She is growing like a weed. Height:10 lbs 11 oz Weight:22.25 inches . I thought all was going to be just perfect, and it was until the physical exam. While the doctor was rotating her hips she said she could hear or feel a "click". So she suggested we go to get an ultrasound on her hips. A few days later we found ourselves on the way to see pediatric orthopedist. She was diagnosed with acetabular dysplasia. It was a bit of a shock because she really didn't look like anything was wrong with her. She will have to wear a pavlik harness for 3 months, and will need physical therapy. The doctor said it is probably from the way she was positioned in the womb. She was to big for my body and that left her with very little room to stretch and and kick to form her hip sockets properly. But all will be well in due time. The harness has made diaper changes, dressing, and swaddling very difficult. I was very sad that she could not wear all the cute rompers and dresses that I had saved from the other girls(I have since figured that part out). She is still young enough that she likes to be swaddled to sleep. I am sad that she cant wear all the cute baby shoes that I saved for her. But to look on the bright side; it was caught early, she wont need surgery and she will never remember any of this.
Happy birthday!
Lindy's Blessing day.
Yes I know this happened a while ago but I am still trying to figure out life with 5 kids. I don't often get time to just sit and write. Lindy's blessing day was wonderful. Tata and Nana made it all the way from Vegas. Uncle Zach even joined us at church for the special day. She wore the same beautiful white dress that her big sisters, Nay and Eva wore. Colt gave her such a wonderful blessing. We pray that she will be true to herself and the Lord, that she will always remember that we love her and that she a daughter of a Heavenly Father who loves her.
