Just a little family update

[burch731]

Well i haven't posted anything in awhile so here goes a little update.  In 2 weeks it will be exactly 10 years from the time my husband Jake & I said "I do" & although it has been a VERY bumpy ride it was all worth it at the end of the day.  We are together, have a beautiful family & we are trying very hard to keep our marriage alive.  Some days it is very hard with all of his mood swings & constant blow ups over any & everything that he has been known for since his PTSD started rearing his ugly head but the simple fact is I love him & I will keep trying to just make him happy & hope to minimize this as much as I can. 

The kiddos are all getting so big now. Kendra is almost 21 (OH HELP ME LORD ~ lol) & a mommy to a baby that I don't get to see very often which totally breaks my heart & makes my hubby depressed but  we are hoping that will soon change & our daughter will either move up here to live with us for awhile to get things back on track since they are so off track at this current time or at the VERY least that she will at least make the time & make it a priority to come up & visit & be a bigger part of our lives & make us a bigger part of her my & grandbaby's lives.  Next comes Ayrica & she is 5 years old & starting kindergarden next month ~ this provides me with much happiness as well as great sadness.  I am happy that my extremely smart & outgoing little girl is going to be able to do something with all her smarts & energy & she will get the socialization that she so badly needs & craves but it also makes me a little sad that my beautiful little baby girl is no longer really a baby & she is growing up.  The boys come next ~ first is my little man Gavin who is 4 years old now & mommys gorgeous & wonderful little boy ~ he is so outgoing, smart & wild & crazy all rolled into one little body.  He has been diagnosed with ADHD but we are working with him on learning to express himself & handle himself better & he provs all the time how truly wonderful he really is. He will be beginning Pre-K next month which like Ayrica both excited me & makes me sad.  I think that the structure & socialization will be wonderful for him while at the same time it seems like he shouldn't be old enough to be starting these little adventures yet.  Where did my sweet little snuggly baby go???   Lastly is the baby of the family ~ little Kaden.  Now this little guy makes mommy so proud with all of his acheivements despite his special needs.  This is the little boy who was such a miracle when he was conceived since that wasn't supposed to ba able to happen & he has proven to be a miracle every step of his life so far as well.  He will be 3 years old in about 3 months although it seems as if he was just born yesterday (how does that happen?) & although he was diagnosed with Pituitary Dwarfism at around age 1 & we didn't know if he would ever walk or not he has sure shown us as well as all of those Dr's.   He has responded so well to his HGH & not only walks but also runs, jumps, skips & every other thing any normal active little boy of his age would do.  He has grown so much & although he will of course will always be small for his age he definately can hold his own in any situation. He is such a tough little guy with no fears of anything (except mommy leaving the room ~ lol).  He is just such an inspirational little guy & I am so in love with him ~ he teaches his mommy important lessons all the time. 

I am enjoying working outside of the house again ~ it may not be a great paying job or anything but it does provide me wiht a little time of my own to just be around other adults (since I am with kids all day everyday) & it also makes me feel as though I am contributing to the family finances & helping to build our nest egg up as we work towards our goals of owning our dream house.  

Well I guess that it enough of what is going on around here for now ~ it's time to get back to real life now & end this entry.
