Update

Hello! Has been a while since I have been on here. It has been quite the year so far for us. Starting out Darren is officially on medical leave from his work. He had the surgery about two weeks ago. They had to go in and rebreak his left elbow and then take bone from his hip and then screw the bones in place, the screws will be left in permanently. He has been in quite a bit of pain since the surgery, some days are better than others, but he should have his cast off in about 3 weeks to start physical therapy. If everything goes well, he should be back to work in three months. There is still a chance insurance won't cover any of it so we are just praying that they will. They may consider a pre-existing condition because the original injury is from when he was 6. They had to go fix what the doctors didn't fix back then. Any prayers are appreciated!

Aiden is doing great at school. He is such a social bug, he mostly talks about his friends. He has developed a really bad attitude lately that I know has come from school. We have had to do a lot of damage control with it. He has just been really disrespectful and doesn't want to listen, throws fits when he doesn't get his way. But, hopefully we can correct it before it gets too bad. He is starting soccer soon and I am so excited! I think more so than he is! lol

Kyler is doing great. His arm is healed nicely and he is ready to be more active! He has gained a little weight from this winter, so he needs to get out and be active! He starts kindergarten in the fall and so we are trying to get him ready. He is hyperactive and has a hard time concentrating. I'm going to start looking into natural things to help calm his nerves so it is easier for him to sit still and concentrate. He is a really smart boy though. He knows his numbers, and is learning what his abcs look like and the differences between capital and lower case and letter sounds. He can write his name and he really loves school. His preschool teachers are so helpful with knowing what aspects he needs to work on for school.

I am so busy as always. I've been trying to balance full time school, which takes me about 30 hours a week to do all online. I am also taking care of Darren because of his surgery, and then taking care of the kids. My housework is failing, but oh well I have all summer break to catch up on it! I am also trying to keep a workout schedule. I do zumba on the wii for a half an hour alternating with running for a half hour, at least once a day. Trying to lose the holiday weight and so I can fit in my clothes better. Plus I need more energy to keep up with everything! I have really been craving some fun time, and hanging out time lately. So we are going to Albuquerque to visit Darren's family on spring break, then we will stay a few days in Boise to visit with friends and family there. I am so looking forward to it! I need some fun time!!!
