Back To School Today!

except for this troublemaker!





around midnight last night he woke up shivering and throwing up- I figured it was the flu but he was burning up and shivering so my dad and I took him to the er. He had a temp of 105.2 and a chest x ray confirmed it was pneumonia. 2:30am we were on our way home and at 9am this morning Tyson was acting as if he had never felt sick!-see above photos..lol
I've got such great family and friends- always helping me- Thanks Dad for going along as much as you hate hospitals!

Merry Christmas

LAUGHTER AND LOVE...and a little bit of craziness equals a whole lot of fun- Happy Holidays!

Christmas Concerts

Last week Kenzie and Tyson had their preschool concerts- Kenzie was very excited for it- finally got to wear her new outfit she picked out- she has no problem being "vocal"...to put it nicely!





This was Tyson's first time singing in front of people- standing still for a good amount of time..ect. I think he was mesmerized by the crowd because he did great- no attempts to run off- sang and did the hand motions. Ok he did try to eat the bells but big deal! I was very proud of the both of them.

Are You Sure??

When I have more time I will update my blog with pictures of NYC and preschool Christmas programs but this darn Christmas thing coming up has me a little overwhelmed right now- I refuse to wrap a whole s**t load of presents Dec. 24th so I am trying to wrap a handful a night when the kids go to bed. S0 anyhow..there are things that Tyson does that truly amazes me everyday and I jokingly say to myself,"are you sure he has down syndrome? haha"

He absolutely loves to help his mom...his older sisters could take some notes from him...(two older sisters..Kenzie likes to help)



And just tonite I was watching him trying to hold a bunch of blocks- so he started picking them up and tucking them under his chin so he could grab some more..he came over to me with them and said "bock"(block) - the whole idea of him knowing to tuck them under his chin to be able to grab more amazed me- Keep up the good work Buddy!

What's Important

I'm always tired, have no time to myself, feel like I have no life outside of the home....but then I look at these four beauties








and realize they are my life, they complete me and soon enough all that free time will come to me and then I won't want it anyhow...





I will be sitting at home wishing they were this young again...

Feeling Left Out

Recently I've been seeing a change in Kenzie- she's been doing some negative things to get my attention- The older girls go to the Hershey Bears hockey games with Dad, Tyson has his aide that comes to the house everyday- I think she has been feeling left out. So I surprised her the other night and took her to Disney On Ice. She absolutely loved it and the best part was she thanked me at the end of the night and told me how much fun she had- (I'm sure the $12.00 snowcone in the princess cup gave me some brownie points!)







The very next night she had a sleepover at grandpa's - she always gets extra attention from grandma and grandpa when she's there!

Happy Halloween!

We went with a huge group of kids this year which was a lot of fun- 15 kids to be exact!


Tyson walked the entire time with Daddy trying his hardest to say "trick or treat!"
