Worst...Mom...EVER!!!

I'm bad, horrible, there is no excuse for me...it was L's birthday this weekend and his cake still sits untouched in the fridge.  No, it's not cuz he was sick, or didn't like the cake, it's because we have not celebrated his birthday yet!

About a week ago Chris went and bought him gifts.  During the last week he has played with those gifts, opened the boxes and basically gotten bored with them already.  So we didn't have anything for him to "open" on his big day.  Saturday morning Chris went and got him a cute little cake while I was at work, and when I got home we had planned on going to a movie, sans kids, and so date night was ON!  We figured we'd celebrate on Sunday, well Sunday came and went and as I was putting all the kids to bed realized that L's cake still sat untouched in the fridge downstairs.  Poor kid, no gifts to unwrap, no cake to dig into, no party.  Lousy mom!

Tonight, I swear tonight I will have pictures to post of a cute little one year old with cake all over his face and a sugar high!

By the way, he won't even care that he didn't have a 1st birthday party until he's about 20 then it will all come out in some therapy session how we loved all the other children more!

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...

Our 68 Whiskey

All the fretting and studying and worrying and starving paid off!  K scored an excellent score on her ASVAB, better than most people!  She was able to pic the MOS (job) that she wanted and is happily enlisted in the US Army as a 68W (combat medic).  She has a ship out date of June 21 2017 but when she gets her diploma in her hot little hand in December she will renegotiate her contract and try and leave earlier.  This is a huge sigh of relief for her and a bit of a sigh of anxiety for her momma!  That's ok she is following her dream and doing what she will love.  I have faith that she will succeed!  Love that girl of mine.
