Hi boys!

Update...been awhile again


Opps looks like I got busy again ;o( Sorry everyone.....

Shauna got a tattoo of Ethan's name on her arm, Im next ;o) cant wait til I go prob not til the end of June maybe July. riday night Shauna and I went out to Dave & Buster to eat play games and then went to see a movie, sort of a date night for us while Ethan spent the night with his Auntie Lala. That night was so much fun it reminded me of when we were younger(as if were like old now lol) when we just went out all the time ;o) then for Memorial Day weekend we went over to Mike & Angela's for a BBQ which was so much fun, family times, good food, and great memories. Ethan was running around all over playing with gage in the dirt, eating push pops, riding a bike with his PaPa and riding on the golf cart with mommies. Shauna had to go to work after being there for like an hour and half which was sad, but we still had a good time...pics to come.
The next 2 days were horrible on Monday,Memorial Day, I had the massive stomach flu and was pretty much bed ridden all day long it was not a fun day, then the next day shauna got the flu and she was so sick. ;o( We are all better now but those 2 days were horrible. This week not much has happened, Shauna is starting Graveyard shift tomorrow ;o( so 5 nights out of the week Ill be sleeping alone, so tempting to get bubba and let him sleep with me but I know he needs to be a big boy and learn to sleep in his own bed. Ethans not doing nething new just same ol same ol, and we dont have any plans for this weekend. Ill post some new pics and I should be updating next week.

Been a busy lady...

Seems as if I have been quiet a busy little bee these past couple weeks, It is now the 17th and I havent posted since the 8th. Opps. So lets get ya all caught up on the most up to date info....ready for a long post lol...

Mother's Day was awesome Shauna didnt go to work so we got to have the whole Family(Shauna's Family) together we were hanging out in the sun, drinking margaritas, watching the kids play, etc. Lorrie(Shauna's Mom) loved her gift; we made her a scrapbook that had pics from when she was prego with her 2 daughters, to when Angela had Taylor and when Shauna had Ethan(well not literally, lol) It was a very touching book and moment. Then we did hear alittle sad news that possiblily Shauna's parents were going to move to Pixley, CA(like 4 hrs away) for Bob(Shauna's Dad)'s job. ;o( If that is the best thing for them then of coarse we will be sad to see them go, very very sad, but we are hoping they dont go. I didnt pray every night for a grandson for PaPa to have to visit 4hrs away(just kiddig dad, I love u know matter what u decide) Neway we are hoping for the best in tht situation which Im sure will turn out just fine. Angela and Mike are having home problems as well(not in home problems, actual house problems) and we pray and hope the best for them as well.

Next event, the San Bernardino County Fair. We took Ethan this past week to the Fair and he absolutely loved it. We went to see the farm animals which he likes unless they started making noise then he was scared. He went on his very 1st Merry Go Round, he loved it and he got to bring home a GIANT spongebob that Mommy Shauna got for him; as well as a couple cute little T-shirts we bought too. He loved to sit next to the live band and dance. haha its hilarious. Overall a very very fun night for him.

Final event, Summertime play with the pool ;o) This weekend I found out it was going to be hot outside so I went a bought Ethan a baby pool and a little sprinkler for the hose. Taylor spent the night on fri night and sat we had an eventful day in the pool and playing with the sprinkler. He thought it was so fun, probably wanted to know why his pool felt like the bath and why it was outside lol but it was fun. Then today we went over to Taylor's Dad & Lacy's house so he could play in the water with Gage(Taylor's Brother) who is only 13 days older then Ethan and Taylor was there as well. The water was alittle colder but Ethan didnt seen to mind and he even found a little Quad to ride on as well.

oh yeah 1 last thing....my work is the most stressful place in the world. They have recently sold 14 states that we provide service in and those states have merged with this new company Frontier. However our office has not Merged with Frontier and either have 4 other centers. Us as well as these other 4 centers will now be handling calls from only 3 states instead of about 17 states that we were doing before, which means we all need to be at work everyday and perform to the best of our ability because there is a possibility that 1 of these 5 centers if not 2 could be closing and I wont have a job. This is something that will happen over the coarse of the next year or so;therefore I am not worrying about it to much. If it happens it happens me stressing about it and making my life Hell until then isnt fair to my family annd friends therefore I have a job for now I will continue to save xtra money we have as a cushion and I will do the best I can do.

Ok now on a more positive note a little update on the things Ethan is doing. He still ;o( is not walking, darn him but I know it is coming soon. He can now say: Thanks, Yes, Skye, Mama, Papa, and I think dog. He is going to start trying to use his own fork and spoon starting this week; and Im still having the hardest time taking away that darn paci. I know its time for it to go and 1 weekend I just need to do it cold turkey bt until I get the guts to do so, he will still have it. He has also learned how to drink from a straw very very cute but messy cause he sometimes spills. He has found his new favorite food is a granola bar, he also loves watermelon ;o) also very messy lol. Ok I think I have now officially caught everyone up today within the last 9 days. I told you I was a busy lady ;o)

New Puppy ;o)

So Shauna got a new puppy for Mother's Day! I couldn't help myself and just had to. The puppy has strict rules about being crate trained no getting on the furniture, and getting use to being outside. Here is a few pics of Ethan's 1st play date with the pup. And DON'T worry I am well aware that I should never ever leave Ethan unattended with any animal, therefore Ethan and Skye(that's her name) will always be under 24hr surveillance when they are together. Enjoy the pics-
Ahh pet the puppy
He wanted her to go away
He just loves her

Ethan's Developmental Appt.

His appt was this past tues. It went very well!! Two ladies from down the hill drove up here brought some toys and began to play with him and ask questions to us. They then went over all the results. He should be ranging from 13mon(adjusted) to 16mon(actual) Based on his social skills and ability to adapt to others he rates at 19mon, cognative skills(putting things together, understanding) he rated at 18 mon, vocal and language skills at 9 mon, fine motor skills(things with his hands and fingers) were 16mon, and gross motor skills(walking, crawling, etc) at 10-12 mon. Overall he scored very very well and they believe he is doing just as he should he is alittle slower on his vocal skills and as long as walking by 18 months adjusted he will be right on target. Now, because of his low birth weight and gestatinal birth age(27wks) he qualifies for this program. They come out once a month and will give us pointers as well as play with him. He has an appt in July to see a physical therapist but if we think he doesnt need it by then we can cancel. I was very happy to hear such good news and was so frightened before the appointment. So Ethan is doing AWESOME!!!! I just love him!! ;o) Mommies Day is in 1 day woohooo I cant wait love Mommies Day!
