Update!!!

2010-09-05T21:37:00.000-07:00

I know it has been forever. I can't believe I have not updated in so long but I guess life gets busy. So I will do a quick update on everyone.

Tucker- He is doing great. For the last few months we have been going to Austin every two weeks to do chelation for him. This is a heavy metal removal process that takes things like lead out of his system. We found out that he has large amount of lead and aluminum in his system so we decided to do this treatment on him. He has taken very well to the treatment and has had no negative side effects. He does not however like the IV going in he still cries every time we do it, but with each time the crying gets less and less. He started another year of school we have him in a pre school class as well as his 25 hours of therapy a week. The only thing that really needs improvements now is his speech, but that is really coming along. He now even says our family prayer at night. The Lord is truly blessing us with such great progress. Tucker is a wonderful spirit in our home.

Noah- What can I say he is so cute. He is now almost 3 and so full of life. He nerve stops the talking which I LOVE. We are working on peeing in the toilet which has really taken off here lately. He also started preschool this year, and he loves it. He is very much a social little man. He has away of keeping me going but I love him so much it is fine.

Danny- He is so busy these days, I know a few of our friends will not believe that he is really working more then 3 hours a day but he is. (you know who you are) Business is going great out here for him, I can't believe how well he is doing. He has really come into this area and made an impact. In a few weeks Dannys company is sending him to the Dominican Republic to introduce his company to that part of the world, I am so excited because I get to go with him. I am really proud of what he has done with this area. I am sad that because we are doing so well it looks like we could be here a very long time and I am not sure if El Paso is my favorite place, but it is growing on me.

ME- Well I am in school again for my second semester of classes. It is still killing me to get back into the grove of school but hopefully I will get it soon. It is sometimes hard to make sure everything is done so I can make the trips to Austin but I somehow manage to pull it all off. My days are now filled with pick ups and drop offs of my two sweet babies. It has really been exciting to see them going to school and being so happy about it. Well I guess that is pretty much it, o wait one more thing for those that don't know which is pretty much everyone we will be welcoming one more into our family in march, yes that is right we are having our third baby!! We don't know what it is but I sure hope it is a girl!!! Anyway hope everyone is doing well and I will update again after our trip.

Ring Update!!!

2010-01-24T15:26:00.000-08:00

Well, the other day I was sitting on the couch and Danny walks in, it had been a few days since I had seen my ring. He comes up in front of me and gets down on one knee then he pulls out my ring and says "will you marry me" and I started to cry just like the first time. Then he says "now you can't say I never got on my knee to ask you." He found it for me, it was in a towel that we had our Friday night date picnic on. He really is the very best husband ever, what a relief it is to have in back again. You just can't replace a diamond from South Africa just any day. So now I will be more careful. Anyway, I also wanted to say Danny your talk in church today was amazing love. Have a great day everyone!

I Can't Believe I Did This!!!!

2010-01-16T17:42:00.001-08:00

I can't believe I lost my wedding ring. Ya that is right it is gone. I have looked everywhere and it is not in my house. I haven't seen it since Wednesday. If this is a sign of how this year is going to go then it is going to be a long year for me. I have been crying for hours. I can't believe I could have done something so stupid as to have lost my wedding ring. Ya, so I guess it will be like another 20 yr before I get a new one, because once you get married and have kids who can justify spending that much money on another ring. At least I have the sweetest husband who has been so nice about it and who has been helping me look for it all day long. Anyway, I should have took that deer running in to our car as a sign as to how this year was going to start out. Sorry this is not a happy post but I just felt like screaming. So I thought that it might help to share with others. Anyway pray that I find it.

Crazy Life

2009-09-28T19:59:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I have posted on this blog. Well, Daniels job is going really well here and business is picking up nicely so that is good news right. We had Denton and Kristen come for a visit and it was great. We had so much fun with them. Kristen you are so much fun it was very nice to get to know you better. To the family we think we should have the family Reunion pictures back soon so be looking for those. We are still deciding weather to buy or rent a house. Daniel is studying for the GMAT so he can apply for the MBA program here. I will be applying for the SLP program soon so we are both very busy with that. Also, for those that don't know we started an ABA program for Tman which pretty much takes up all my time. Well, that is what we are up to in a nut shell. Hope all is well for the rest of yall. Have a great month because I am sure it will take that long for me to update again.

To the Family

2009-08-11T10:04:00.000-07:00

Sorry that I have not posted Family Reunion picture yet. We kind of lost them all. I downloaded them to my computer and then it crashed on me so we don't know how to get them off. So we are trying to recover them. Anyway, I just wanted to say it was so much fun seeing everyone again. Kay your baby is so cute we love him. We miss all of you and wish we could be closer, but that is not what the Lord has planed for Danny and I. Anyway, we love and miss you all and hope everything is going great. When I get the picture off the computer I will post them. Thanks for all the love and support ya ll give us we need it.

p.s. I started another blog on tuckers recovery, so if you ever meet anyone going through this let them know about it.

Will I be a Victim or a Warrior?

2009-05-21T19:26:00.000-07:00

A few months ago my life change. In a small room full of strangers a crushing blow hit me. My eyes swelled with tears and my mind stopped working, as they told me that my angel baby Tucker had a small form of Autism called PDDNOS. I remember thinking your wrong just because he does not talk to me does not mean that he is autistic. So for the passed few months I have been in a world of thought as to how this happened and how to fix it. I now have two options I can give in and believe what they tell me is true that he will always be a little weird and that he may never talk to me or I can stand up and fight with the other warrior mothers of autism. So I chose to stand up and fight against this epidemic call autism and I will find away to recover my son, so that some day I will hear him speak to me and tell me Mom “I love you”. So for those of you that have angle babies that speak to you listen and enjoy every word out of their mouth because there are many mothers that would love to hear one word from their babies. I know that the Lord has big plans for my family and me. Without this challenge I would not be on this warrior road and I would not meet the many people that I will along this road. I know that the Lord has big plans for my Tucker man. I have hope that things will work out and that is just what every mother with autistic children need is hope. So to any mothers with autistic children I am sending out hope that someday this epidemic will be under control and that you and your child will recover. So today I choose to be a Warrior mother and fight for my son.

Mom, Dad, and Family

2009-04-24T22:20:00.000-07:00

I would like to say a few things about my family and my parents. Mom and Dad you have been good parents and you raised us well. You were there for your kids and you tried to do the very best that you could for us and I would like to thank you for that. I have learned over the past 26 yr (yes daddy 26 not 28) that you are honest, obedient to the Lord, and good parents. I am sorry that some of our family members cannot see the good in ya’ll and accuse you of things that you have not done and would never do. Let us remember that the Lord knows what we have done and he is our only judge. I hope that someday these family members will be able to forgive and let go of whatever it is that they are mad at, and see the beauty that each of you hold in your hearts. I do hope that someday we can stop saying mean and deeply hurtful things about each other and be a forever family because that is what we are as much as some do not like that. So to the family if I have ever done anything to anyone that has been hurtful please know that I am sorry and that I love each member of this family deeply and I would not want another family. So mom and dad thank you for giving me a wonderful childhood and helping me to be come a good and honest women. I could not have done that with out honest and worthy parents.

Love

Anma

5 for Friday

2009-03-06T17:54:00.000-08:00

(5 great things this week)

1. Daniel just brought me the best dress I have ever had. It is like nothing that I have ever owned in my life.

2. Tucker this week just started to poop in the toilet all by himself. Also, he puts on his own underwear and they are on the right way.

3. Daniel made it home from another trip safe and sound so I can sleep again.

4. We all got to pull out the old shorts again this week because it has been in the upper 80s here. (so nice)

5. The office started again with new episodes love it.

Five for Friday!!!

2009-02-27T20:35:00.000-08:00

(Five things that happened in our lives this week.)

1. I started making a sun dress for myself. I don’t know how well it will come out but we will see. I am having lots of fun sewing.

2. I got to see Edward the other day, I love seeing him it was great to talk to him even if it was just for a minute. I love you man!!!

3. I had to spend the night without Daniel this week. It was the worst night ever I hate it when my husband is out of town. It was only one night but still it was a long night without him. He got back safe and sound the next day. So the rest of the week I slept like a baby.

4. My ear infection finally went away. It took 2 1/2 weeks to go away it was the worst pain that I have ever felt in my life. Anyway, I can hear again so thank goodness for that.

5. Daniel bought me my favorite little Easter candy this week. I love reese’s peanut butter eggs that they put out for Easter. I really don’t like the normal reese’s peanut butter cups, but the eggs taste way different.

So much to tell!!

2009-02-20T11:27:00.000-08:00

Well it has been a crazy few months. Tucker man turned 3 years old (I can't believe my baby is that old). Tucker also started a special speech program at school so now my baby is in school too. It made me so sad to leave him that first day but I put on a brave face and left him there. So now I get to spend some quality time by myself with my little Noah. Noah is so much fun he is all over the place and into everything. I love the time we get to spend together.
Daniel and I got to have our first weekend away from our kids ever. It was very hard we don't like to leave them but it was also very nice to spend a whole 2 nights and a day by myself with Daniel. Thank you so much Mel for taking them it was nice to know that they were safe and having fun with ya'll. Daniel also turned the big 29 this year. I told him that he was getting old and he did not like that. He is a wonderful old husband and I would never trade him in for a young one.
As for me life is just crazy. I feel so busy running the boys were they need to go and helping Daniel with homework and his job. Even with all that I have been able to start running again and I love it so much it gives me that extra energy that I need. I also only have 8 more lb to loss to be at my high school weight again how great is that. Well, that is a quick over view of what is happening with us. Keep looking back we hope to have some exciting news to post soon.

6 YEARS!!!!

2008-11-01T19:09:00.001-07:00

Daniel and I have made it another year together! I can not believe that Daniel and I have been together 6 years this week. It is crazy how one movie can change everything. Daniel and I watched a movie together at his parents house this week 6 years ago and I knew he had to be mine. I really know that he was to be mine in high school here is that story. At Youth Conference one year I was sitting in a class, (Daniel was also in that same class) when the teacher said some of you sitting in this room will marry people sitting in this room that you already know. I thought to myself at that moment that is going to be me I am going to marry someone I already know. Well that did come true 6 years ago I started dating the man of my revelation. We have done so much and grown so much over these last 6 years. We have become best friends, lovers, protectors, guiders, providers, and many other things to one another and our sweet boys. How things change over 6 years we went from being single to married to parents, and there is no one I would rather be with then my best friend Daniel. I am so grateful to my Father in Heaven for guiding me home early that summer and helping me see that I deserved the best. Then he put the perfect man for me in my life and that was Daniel. The Lord is very aware of us and knows the right people for our lives, he just knew that I need a sweet, handsome, loving, kind, hard working, generous, large hearted man. So he prepared me from my youth to be ready and able to find and except the perfect man. Daniel thanks for making these the best 6 years of my life and I can wait to spend the rest of eternity with you. I love you!!! Happy 6 years sweetie.

We had so much fun today!!!

2008-10-18T18:31:00.000-07:00

We went to the Mesilla Valley Maze. I really love this time of year. I am so glad that we found something like this to do with the boys. Tucker man was having so much fun. Danny and I also had so much fun. We went sliding, on a hay ride, picked a pumpkin, ate some corn, and climbed a tire mountain, and much much more. I had a great fall day with my great little family. I hope everyone else is families are having as much fall fun as us.

Mesilla Valley Maze

2008-10-18T18:27:00.000-07:00

Thank You Mom and Dad!

2008-10-06T17:42:00.000-07:00

Hey I had a great weekend. My mother and grandmother were able to come down and see us. Thank you for coming and helping with the bags. I wanted to start sewing and so I did, but I had a few problems so I called my mother up and told her that I needed help and so last weekend she came and helped me with the bags that I was making. I love it so much when you guys come it is always fun. I love the bags that I made with my moms help. Thank you so much mom for the help. I love that when ever I need you, you come. I love you and grandma very much and you are the best. Daddy I am sorry you could not come I wish we could have seen you to. I love you very much and you are a wonderful dad and pappy. The boys love you very much and so do Daniel and I. Thank you for all the help you have given us over the years. I love yall so much.

Good Luck Daniel!!!

2008-10-02T13:08:00.000-07:00

Well tomorrow is the big day. Daniel is taking a very big test for work tomorrow that he has been studying for 6 months for. I just want to tell him and for everyone else to know that I Love You and I am so proud of how hard you have worked over the last 5 years for this family. You put every ounce of your soul into school and now your work so that you can take care of us and I love you for your hard work. I wanted to tell you 5 thinks that I have learned and love about you over these last 5 years of marriage.

1. You are an emotional and passionate person. You have such passion for life. You feel and show your feelings so well. I love that you laugh, cry, and love. You are such a good husband because you understand those feeling so well that when I am upset you know all the right things to say and do to make me feel better. I love that when we fight we say sorry within minutes and never let it become a big fight. I love your emotional side it makes you a great man.

2. I love that you can talk as much as me. We never run out of things to say to each other. We can talk about anything. I love the nights that I am not tired and we stay up late and talk about life and laugh so hard I almost wet my pants. (I know you are thinking about the time I did but lets not talk about that ok) I love our communication skills they are perfect.

3. I love that we love to go shopping together. We very often don't buy anything because we are to cheep but it is still so much fun just to look and dream about what we would like to buy.

4. I love your Spirit. I feel that you are one of Heavenly Fathers favorite sons. You listen so well. I can always trust that you are trying to do your very best to be close to the spirit and listen to what he has to say to you. I know that you have always tried to lead our family by the spirit and that you always will. Thank you for your willingness to keep yourself clean so that we can have the priesthood in our home.

5. I love that you love me so much. I love that we can spend all day together and still want to be right there with each other and no where else. I know that some say we are crazy for being together as much as we are, but I would rather be with you and our kids then with anyone else. I want to be right next to your side for the rest of eternity. I love you very much.

You will do great tomorrow and pass or fail I will be right by your side. I am always on your side and we are always on the Lords side. I Love You Daniel.

Beautiful Simple Moments!

2008-09-20T17:37:00.000-07:00

I am so thankful that Heavenly Father knows us so well. I believe he gives us all that we can take and then he gives us a sweet beautiful moment of relief. Today was one of those days for me. Tucker has decided to go 2 on me. He has become a handful and today was the day the straw broke the camels back. I had to go in a take every single last toy he has and every single movie. I thought well that will teach him and yet he still managed to get into everything and go crazy all day for me. I have been very stressed and emotional about life these last few weeks and I thought I can not take my sweet boy going 2 year old on me. So tonight when I was ready to throw him into bed with out dinner because those of you that know us well no that dinner with tucker is always a fight and I hate even thinking about it. But tonight was unlike any-other, there was no fight we all sat down at the table and eat and laugh at my sweet boys. As we sat there this sense of peace and happiness filled my whole body. Heavenly Father knew I could take no more today and so he gave me a beautiful gift of peace and happiness with the little things in life. I know that there is a Heavenly Father and that he knows just what we can handle and what we need in this life. Thank you Father for that gift today.

Well today was a great day!!!

2008-09-19T17:09:00.000-07:00

I LOST 20LB as of today. Well for those of you that don't know I got fat while I was pregnant with my two boys. So I went to weight watchers and now I am 20lb lighter. I only have 15 more to go. YA!!! Daniel also has lost 20lb but he did that about a month ago not fair right. We are really feeling great and have so much more energy, not that we were really fat or anything but it feels good to lose any weight. I hope every one is having a great day. Hope you have a great weekend.

We Got a New Table!!!

2008-09-07T15:46:00.000-07:00

We love this table and if finale came in. It is so great to have a table again it has been 4 weeks now that we have been with out a table. It is great to have the boys back on chairs, and eating at a table. We also got a organizer for the boys room because the boys room looks like a bomb went off in it so we needed something to put all there thing in. So there are a few new pic up. I hope everyone is having a great day. We will post more later.

Our Day on the Mountain!!!

2008-09-01T16:15:00.000-07:00

We found the coolest thing in El Paso. They have a Aerial Tramway that takes you to the top of the Franklin Mountains. Tucker and Noah had so much fun riding on it. It takes you all the way to the top on the mountains and you can see all of El Paso, some of New Mexico and some of Mexico. It was really pretty I am really starting to see the beauty of El Paso. Anyway it was such a good time, Tucker was pointing at everything and was having a great time. We have been talking about doing this all summer and so I am glad that we finally did it. It was well worth the wait. We have had so much fun in the last few days. I hope every one is well, have a great Labor Day.

2008-08-30T13:47:00.001-07:00

Our Day At the Zoo (yes in El Paso)

2008-08-30T12:39:00.000-07:00

This was such a great day. It was the perfect weather it was so cool outside it felt great. We got up this morning and said what do you want to do today. Then we said why not go to the zoo, Daniel didn't really want to go but he said ok and we packed our lunch and we took off. So we were on our way and we got lost on the way there so thanks LA for the address or we would have never made it, we might have ended up in Mexico. Anyway we did make it. The zoo didn't look great from the outside but inside it was great.

The first think we saw was the Alligator, Tucker thought that was so cool. Then we went onto see the wolfs, bears, and monkeys. Tucker was so excited to see all of those but that was not the best. We then went on and found the elephants, leopard, tiger, malaysian tapir, and much much more. Tucker was going crazy he was pointing and Ahwwing and Owwing it was so much fun. Then the best part of the whole day was the Sea Lion exhibit and show. Tucker was clapping and laughing it was so much fun to see him so excited. The zoo is so much cooler when you have kids. Noah was also having a good time trying to get all the plants that is about all he could see. I love my family I love perfect days like this, the Lord has give me so much by giving me all three perfect boys in my life. I hope you like the pictures that go along with my perfect day.

To Kay and Karla

2008-08-26T17:34:00.000-07:00

Anyway we had a great day we got our new entertainment center in. I love it so much. We had to do something before the boys broke the DVD player. So we got this one, look at pic to the right of this post. Any way we hope all is well with everyone. Have a Great day.

2008-06-28T15:51:00.000-07:00

Well one more big thing WE JUST GOT A NEW VAN. Can you believe it we did it. I love it so much. I can't believe I got a van but it is really nice. It is a Honda Odyssey. I will put pictures up so you all can see it. It took Daniel and I like 6 hours at two different dealers to decided to buy one. I can't believe we decided on something. I love it and it will be a great van.

2008-06-28T15:44:00.001-07:00

Hi! Everyone sorry it has been a long time. I changed my back ground again to something more us. Well lots has happened. Daniel and I started a diet a month ago and I have lost 10lb and Daniel has lost 14lb can you believe that why do guys drop pounds so fast it is not fair. The boys are doing well they are so fun. Noah is starting to do really funny faces. When he wants you to pick him up he pulls a really funny face I am trying to get a picture of it I just can seem to get it. I will put more pictures up, I promise. Well I have to go so I will post later.

2008-06-07T08:56:00.000-07:00

Does everyone like my new pink back ground. Everything else in my life is blue thanks to my 3 wonderful boys. So I though why not have something pretty in my life. Not that my boys are not pretty they are but I am not suppose to call them pretty they are manly. So until Daniel see it I will have a pink back ground. So everyone have a wonderfully pink day.

2008-05-20T13:33:00.000-07:00

We have been so busy these last few days. On Sunday we both got new callings and they have already put Daniel to work in his. We also have to talk on Sunday so we have been trying to get ready for that. Daniel has also made me his secretary so everyday I have something knew to do. I have also started to try and potty train Tucker and things are not going well there. I think it is going to be a long time before we are done with diapers. Noah has just started crawling and so now I have to keep a close eye on him. These boy are just growing up so fast.

2008-05-07T09:02:00.001-07:00

Tucker loves to push that truck around it is so funny. He likes it when Daniel push him in it. He has such a great time with that, he really loves life. He loves to load all his toys up in it and then push them around. It is great to be his mother.

Hey Everyone

2008-05-06T12:24:00.000-07:00

Well I have a blog. I don't know what to say but here we go. Well we are in El Paso now and we are starting to like it here. We are still trying to sell our house in Midland. I hope that it goes soon but we will see. The boys are doing great and they are growing up so fast.
