Its Been Awhile

Wow its been a long while since I have made a post on my blog. Needless to say things have been really busy.

At the start of May I had surgery to fix some damage from when I got rear ended in a car accident. My surgeon found out that I had fractured my collarbone and tore 2 muscles. I went 6 months with no one else being able to figure this out. So I got 3 pins put in my shoulder to fix my muscles. I was suppose to only have to wear a shoulder brace for a month then I would be able to start moving it some and do physical therapy. Its been almost 6 weeks since surgery and I am still wearing the shoulder brace. Since I fracture my collarbone and no one knew it cause they misread the xray CT scan and MRI it didnt set right next to my sternum so it has dislocated 3 times in the 6 months. So now I have to get another surgery now to fix my collarbone. I am very unhappy about this news. The kids and I were suppose to be moving to Fort Knox, KY so Peyton could start her second year of preschool and meet her new therapists. Now the children and I will be staying in Utah till Oct.

Peyton finished her first year of preschool and got a diploma. She had a lot of fun with her teacher and all the friends she had in class. She has at least another 2 years of preschool. Then she will have to do testing to figure out if she goes to regular kindergarten or a slowed down version of kindergarten. She is loving playing outside in her pool and watering all of the flowers outside. She has been workinghard and is starting to get good at making sentences when she is talking to us. She is also letting us know her feelings and finding ways to communicate them to us. She is been potty training the last 2 months. Sometimes she is good about it but most of them if we dont force her to the potty then she will just go in her underwear. Her doctors said it would be hard for us to train her that its just part of her developemental disorder and that we just have to keep working with her.

Broc is getting to be more aggressive in letting his sister know that she has made him mad. So he been in time out quite and few hundred times. He finally is staying in nursery all by his self. He will scream while I am leaving then he stops and either plays or goes to sleep. He is out growing his speech finally. With Peyton being behind in speech he mimic'd her but now he is outgrowing that and is adding words all the time. He is finally getting ready to potty train which is a good thing. He also notices so many things sometimes I have to remind myself that he will learn things faster or before Peyton. I am so use to working at Peyton's level that I forget that my sons are going to learn things easier and faster then she does. He is still in love with his cars. We think that he may be a Rugby player though. We were watching a movie called Forever Strong and he got so excited when they showed the boys playing rugby.

Hunter is so close to walking and he such a good talker. He can say mama dada broc peyton and hi. He is going to be turning the big 1 in a few weeks now. Hunter had to get switched to a bottle he fell off the growth chart so we have to feed him high calorie formula and add sugar and butter to the table foods he eats He has been on the fat boy diet for 3 months he is still off the chart but he is working on it. We also found out the Hunter has astma thankfully we didnt find out the hard way. He has to take medicine every day that helps keep his airway open. He hates and will scream the entire time he takes the breathing treatment. He had some good news though a new xray of his shoulder has shown growth in the bone which is good news. It isnt fully grown in yet but there has been some process. He also is finally sleeping through the night. He apparently likes a really soft bed. We folded up a huge king size comforter and put it in his crib and now he will sleep all night. Everyone in the house was so thrilled when Hunter finally started to sleep.

Michael is due home in a few weeks. He will be home for good from Afghanistan. The only down side his home is Texas and the kids and I will be in Utah till the Army moves him to KY. So he will still be gone but no one be trying to kill while he is in TX. He got the purple heart while he was he was out on a patrol. It was really scary cause it was the first time the Army called me and the lady was so uncalloused. It scared me when they asked me if I was my husband wife I grabbed the counter and braced myself I seriously felt my heart fall down to my feet and I didnt know if I could hold the phone to hear the news. Just for her to tell me that he burned his ear and got some bullet fragments in his leg. The funny thing was Michael already told me that he got hurt the Army was 3 weeks behind. So I thought that there were calling cause he died. So I will be much more relaxed when he is in TX. He is very excited though the kids and I bought him an iPhone for Father's Day. It will be able to hold his medical software on it and tons more. So I will be dropping it off to him when I drive his car down to TX to meet him off his plane.

So that is the last 2 months in a nutshell. I will post pictures soon my 1 terabyte hard drive died so yeah there went my picture my 90 gigs of iTunes and 500 movies and tv seasons as well.
