Issac, Alex, and Lizzy went to Calfonia last weekend for Friday to Monday because Issac was going to be blessing his nephew Andrew. His sisters husband has not yet joined the church, but we hold out hope that one day he will. The kids had fun playing with there cousions that they do not really get to see that much. Issac and his Brother Tony took there kids and rode together so they could split the cost of gas. Becca and I decied that we would be staying home. We had a fun time until Sunday when Becca got sick and thew up a lot. I was feeling so bad for her. She thankfully only was sick for Sunday and then on Monday her and I went and got our hair cut. This lady in our ward cut our hair in her house. She was super fast we both were done in about 35 minunets. We then waited for Issac and the kids to come home. Lizzy decided that she was going to pee her pants on the ride home I was not to happy with her. I wish that she would just go pee when she needs too.

My older kids have been so great latley to help out so much. They like doing the dishes washing them. They will ask is it my turn to wash them. How blessed am I to have such good kids that they will help me do this. In fact Alex knew that it was his turn to wash them last night so when I came home from work they had been washed and the dishwasher had been ran and they were ready to be put away the next morning. I was so happy becuase I knew that I didn't have to do it. The joys of having older kids. I have been able to vaccume and mop this week and not feel any worse by doing it. That makes me feel good that I am able to do that now. I am so excited to go to the dr. next Wens. and see what he has to day.

Vacuming!!!!

I was going to vacuum today so I had the kids pick up all the things off there floor and then we went visiting teaching. My visiting teaching partner came over to my house to talk about young women's when I heard Alex get out the vacuum. He started to vacuum his room and he then said to me that he had vacuumned up his new blanket and I had to rip the blanket out and it got a little melted and a hole in it. I was so upset because the vacuum would not work good after that. I thought that he had broken the belt, but when I took it apart it was fine. I guess that I will have to take to Issac and have him fix it. I really wanted to know if I could vacuum and not be in pain. I guess I will just have to try later.

Progress is a wonderfull thing!

Last month we had Becc's speech and her other therapist do her 6 month evaluation for early intervention and she did a wonderful job. The scores are done in months so here goes gross Motor 24 Fine motor 24 cognition 27 Language 30 self help (getting dress and things like that) 22 social emotional 36. She is only delayed in a few areas. I do not believe that she got 36 on social emotional because she is super shy. I am hoping that she will keep having a few bad scores because I would like to have her go to pre school like Alex so she will not be so shy. starting in March she will be able to go to a pre pre school once a week for an hour and a half. I am sure at first I will have to go there and then I would like to be able to leave. Only time will tell. She is getting smarter and smarter as the days progress. When I tell her that she needs to take her shirt off she tells me that she can't. I really wonder where she got that from. I tell her that "I Can't" is not in her vocabulary you can do anything thing you want to. I know that it will take some time to let her know that she can do it for her self.

As for Alex we (Issac and I) went to an IEP meeting last week and found out that Alex is super smart and should not be in pre school any more, but they know that he needs it for the socal part so they were able to word the IEP in a way that he would be able to stay. I just LOVE his teacher because she told me that she was thinking of something that she could do for him and got an idea at 2:00 A.M. WHAT! she was thinking about my son at 2:00 in the moring. Do I have the best teacher in the world or what? We have deiced to move him to the afternoon class because there are some boys who do talk and they will be able to play and games with Alex and help him to understand how he should be playing with other kids. He has been bumped to the top of the list for head start. They know that he will need it for the social aspect. Lets hope that someone moves so he can get in.

I am so luck that all 3 of my kids have a cold. Becca started it and got a runny nose and then she would not want to eat and Sunday she was sounding terrible she was loosing her voice and so I took her in the next day to the dr and he told me that she has puss on the back of her toncles. I was almost wishing that she has strep and not a virus so she could be put on some medication to make her better. She then passed it on to the other two. Needless to say Alex has had to miss most of school this week so much for him getting to know his new class. All will be good in time that I know.

As for me I feel better some days and some days I do not. I am going to have an IUD put in on the 17th and see in about 4 months if I am feeling better and if I am not then I will got and see another family dr. and see if he will test me for aruthrius or if he knows of something else that could be wrong with me. I worked last night and now I feel like I got run over by a semi truck. I do see the cleaning that needs to be done in my house and I just can't do it. My WONDERFUL neighbor came over yesterday and vacuumed, swept, and mopped for me thank you Tanielle you are my life savior. Issac's mom will be coming on Saturday to watch the kids so we can go out. we are going to try and make it to the temple and then go to lunch. I am sure that fun will be had by all. Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers. I hope you all are doing good. God Bless!

I went to see my OB today and I am trying to figure out what I am doing. He could not really give me a clear cut answer. I guess that I am back to the drawing board. We had a family dinner last night with Issac's mom and brother. Kathy brought Lizzy a fish for her birthday and she is so happy. It is a blue bata and is a boy, but Lizzy thinks that it is purple and she named it princess. I had to laugh. Hope everyone has a good day. I know that I am going to. This had been the 3rd day that I have not taken any pain medication. YAH!!!! for the small miricles in my life.

Lizzy 4th check up and christams photos!

Today I took Lizzy to the Dr. to have her 4 year check up. She was 44 LBS and 43 3/4 " tall. I Dr. joked with me and told me that she could be square. He told me that she is off the charts for her hight. He said that she is as 5 1/2 year olds, but we all know that she is tall. She is waring the out fit that her grandmother and grandfather Christensen gave her for her birthday. She is super cute. We Love you Lizzy.


Issac took the kids to temple square to see the lights. The kids got to ride tracks and they were super happy. They keep telling us that they want to ride a train so they got there wish. Alex and Lizzy rode with Grandma Kathy. As you can see they are having the time of there lives. I was going to go, but I was in to much pain. I was sad that I could not go, but I enjoyed the peice and quite.

Updates

Today I went to my family doctor to see if he could give me some answers on what could be wrong with me. I told him that my sister has Celiac Disease so he decied that he would test me for that too. It will take about 2 days to find out if I have it. If I do not then I think that he is going to be looking at arthris. I am just taking it one day at a time. I did ask him if he thought that all of my pain would have anything with me needed to have my femal parts taken out and he said that he didn't know. I have decied to see while I am having my period if the pain is more, less, or stays the same then that will let me know that the pain that I am feeling is not related to my femal parts. He, my dr, said that it was too bad that I saw the other dr and he could not find anything wrong with me. I was sad too. I told him that I didn't want to have to take a pill every day to manage the pain that I wanted to know what was wrong with me and then "IF" I had to take a pill then I would be ok with that. I hope to have some news on what is wrong with me soon.
I went to work tonight I was hosting and it was nice to get out of the house and I missed not working. I love being able to interact with other people and help them to get a smile on there face just because you said "hi" Or "thanks for comming in". I would like to think that I could make a postive impression on someone so they will want to return.

Lizzy's Birthday

Today was Lizzys 4th birthday. We let her open her gifts in the morning before Issac left for work. She was so excited to get her gifts. When Grandpa Christensen was here he asked her what she would like to get for her birthday and she said that she would like to get a princess castle and grandpa told her that she could not have one that they would cost to much money that would be a gift that you would get for Christmas not your birthday. I think that she was a little sad, but as luck would have Issac took Becca and Alex to the store and found one that was only $14.00. It has a BIG bed in it that folds out so now she can put her princess dolls in it to go to sleep. She was also happy to get a tea set, dress up gloves, tinker bell dress up dress, tinker bell movie, and some pretties for her hair. We took the kids to Chilies for lunch because I was going to be working that night and wanted to do something nice for her on her birthday. She got a free cholate shake she was super happy. Before her grandpa left he wanted to go to the store and buy her another princess doll and boy was she sooo happy.
I had made a deal with her 4 months ago that if she would go to primary for 4 weeks she could have a cinderella doll and she finally did it at the end of December so when I felt better I took her to the store to get it for her. Grandpa saw just how happy it made her so he had to get her another one which is good because I can't keep Alex away from it. LOL!
We love you Lizzy so much. You are so good at helping me with Becca when I need you to get her pj's or dypers. You are always a big help with doing the dishes and helping me bake or cook. I hope that you had a great day!
I will be making her favorie dinner tomorrow night it will be home made corn dogs and homemade mac n cheese. I hope that she will contiune to want to lurn how to cook so she can cook for others when she is older it is a good service that you can do for others. I will post a video later so you can see her opening her gifts.
