Hunter is 10

Well as of Monday I officailly have a 10 year old. I cant believe were the time has gone. The time has gone by so so fast. The whole day all I could think about how instant i fell in love with him. He was the one that made me a mom. He was the one that was my little best friend for almost 3 years. I was so young and let's be honest had no idea what I was getting my self into. And yet I was not scared at all. He had given me more ups and downs then I could have ever imagnied for planed on. I am sure I have not seen nothing yet.
Hunter is a darling boy. He is my child that is in need of constant entertainement. He has created lasting relationships with all of his family. Grandparents, Aunts and uncles. For the most part his cousins adore him and depending on his mood he adores them back. He out going, not afraid to have fun and get a little silly at times. He loves loves to Hunt. I think that is the subject he talks about the very most. He is smart and has such a easy time at school, and always has. This kid is full of personality. He gives me some serious stress and headaches not to metnion arguing. My life with out him is better because of him.
For his birthday he was mad that we made him go to school. Yep we are horrible parents. Josh and I took him dounets for him and his class. That night Josh and I took him to Outback fo dinner. Janice offered to watch the other kids so we just took him. It was nice to just spend one on one time with him. Then we came home and opened his present. We got him something called a bat a away. It something that will help him get better at baseball. He was so excited. Well to sum it up. I am one lucky mom to have hunter as my son.

Cruz

The other day I was cleaning my closest and noticed Cruz has figured out his tonge in the mirror. I took them with my phone so they are not the best pictures. It was a moment that I caught of him.

There is a first for everything.

(Don't mind the earwax)
Well on January 6th we had another first in this house. It was a typical Friday night. Josh was at work, I had just got done feeding the kids dinner and was cleaning up. I had put Cruz to bed for the night. In my head I had the rest of my night figured out. I was going to finish dishes, go workout, then watch a movie or something with the kids. Well Beckham had a new plan. He was watching Mario Brothers on my phone, yes that sounds weird but he loves watching it being played on you Tube. He was in the family room and tripped and nailed his ear on the fireplace bench that is tile. He ran over to me and of course I knew right away he needed stitches. So of course Josh was gone, so Janice to the rescue. I called her thank goodness she was home that night. She was hear like a minute later. I love that she lives so close. She called the doctors office because they were still open, we left Hunter with Cruz and took Bella with us and ran over to the Doctors. Well long story short the Doctor felt like because it was on his ear a specialist should stitch it. He arranged for a guy in Lehi to stitch it up. We went back home figured kids out. My other sister Jessica to the reuse came and sat with Bella and sleeping Cruz and Janice and I made the trip up to Lehi. They sustated Beckham he is a very strong willed child. it was so sad I was holding him and he kept saying please stop mommy please. Then while they were stitching it up we could not be in the room. That was hard. Josh met us up there after work and was there by the time they were done. Well his stitches look great and the doctor did an amazing job. They are suppose to dissolve even better. I don't know how we would have gotten those out with out knocking the kid out. I felt so bad that is was little Beckham that got stitches first. I figure I have been a mom for almost ten years, I am not doing so bad.

Happy Birthday to my princess

My one and only daughter turned 7 today. What in the heck. Time goes by way to fast the older that you get. Bella is amazing. Now please know that she is all girl and more. She is DRAMA queen all the way. She is filling in all the gaps because there is only one girl in the house besides me of course. Bella is such a little mommy almost to much some days. She loves to color and draw, and is pretty good I must say. She is so good about getting her homework done. She will start doing it on the way home from school. Her new thing is that she loves to paint her fingernails. It think she does it about every day. Now things about little Bella so that I dot forget. I have to walk her into school everyday, she just refuses to go in by her self. Yes annoying for me I know but one day she wont want to even be seen with me so i will hold on to what I can. She still has me sing twinkle twinkle to her almost every night, while i am ticking her face. She loves loves her brother Cruz, and fights with Beckham more often then not. She hates when I call her Isabella not Bella because she thinks that is not her real name. What can I say I love her like crazy. She is my only girl and don't know what I would do with out her. Who knows if there will be a little girl in out future.
For Bella's birthday today we had breakfast burritos for breakfast at her request of course. WE then went bowling in payson, and then off to wingers for dinner. We then came home for presents. We got her new sheets and a razor scooter. She also got some purple plaid toms, from Grandma Tom ( she got a matching pair). Her aunts gave her money and that about sums it up. I think she had a good day. I had a great day just being with my princess.

I am really trying

Well sadly I did not do well in the blog post in 2011. Although it was a great year and nothing to complain about just a crazy one . I have a lot to catch up on. The kids started back to school today and I will say It was nice to have somewhat of a routine.
Bella did come home from school upset. She told me that her teacher will be moving at the end of the month and will be getting a new one. She was close to tears poor thing. I am sad for her and hope that the new teacher will be just as good.
I dont want to go on and on and try yo catch up. Lets be honest those of you that even still read this would get super board. So her is to a new year and being good about blogging if not for you but for my family.

A shout out to Hunter

Okay so let me first start by saying that my theory on parenthood is that about 90% of the time we wonder why the heck we have choosen to be parents at all. It doesnt pay well as far as money goes in fact that is the total opposite. There is always something that needs cleaned up, a tear to be wiped, and hug to be given, a fight that needs putting out, a child that decides that sleeping at night is not in there plans, someone needs ran here or there, or just plain money for who knows what. You get the idea I am sure but we all become parents for that 10% of the time that all you see all that hard work and talking to and grounding and being just plain mean pay off.
So Hunter's amazing moment or what I like to call it a good mom moment.
The other day after school Hunter called me from his phone (yes Hunter officially has a phone, I don't want to hear it.) He asked if he could walk over to a friends house that I really don"t know, the answer is most often no. I am not a huge fan of him going to anyone's house that I don't know the parents. But he said that he was going with another kid from our neighborhood and one of his beesties. So I was totally fine with it. I just told him to keep me updated on what they were doing and to play outside. So I called him a hour later to just check on him. He was at my sister's just down the street. When I asked him why he was not with his friends he said I told them I had to leave to go to a party. When I asked why he said that he said because mom they were swearing. It was not the friend from our neighborhood so don't you all worry it was this other kid. He left because this kid was swearing non stop. It was a great moment for Hunter and a great mom day for at least that 5 minutes.
