Happy Turkey Day!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful for so many things! I have 2 beautiful boys who are my entire world! A wonderful husband who is a great Daddy and provides for our family! I'm having a sweet little baby girl in about a month and I couldn't be more thankful for that too! Besides those wonderful 4 people, I have amazing parents and sisters that are my best friends! Again just so thankful for everything I have and all the people in my life. Thank you Lord!!!

Yesterday I was able to get Daxton to take his first dose of Vyvanse. He took the entire 20mg capsule. This morning he took it again. I really hope we can keep getting him to take it so we can see if this will work for him.

I'm baking an apple pie to take to Aunt Lisa's house and when it's finished we are off to spend time with family for Thanksgiving. I think this afternoon we are going to the Hamilton's house so a busy busy day. Oh did I mention that we are pulling an all nighter tonight for Black Friday shopping :) It should be interesting lol!

Chloe

That's her name :) Our new baby girl's name is going to be Chloe. We still need to pick out a middle name but as you know I'm picky and can't find something that I really love.

We are all ready for Miss Chloe to get here!! Her room is all done now (well I still want to add a few things here and there lol but it's mostly done)

What do you think? We LOVE it! Jordan thinks it's wayyy to much pink but I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Sage thinks it's pretty great too!!

And he likes her balloon too!! :)

Today was the first day I tried to give Daxton his new med. It's a capsule and I have to empty the powder into something and get him to take it. Well this morning I tried to put it in a rolo candy but he ate some of it made a terrible face and spit it out. So tomorrow I'll try again and put it in his chocolate milk. I'm thinking that won't work either because it must taste bad but I'll try again.

Busy!

Yep another few months have pasted and I haven't blogged! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to keep up with this blog lol! We have been busy busy and hopefully over the next week I will update on here.

Anyway tomorrow we are going to start Daxton on an ADHD med called Vyvanse. He is completely off of the Risperdal and has been for way over a month now. So far I've noticed no major changes in him which is a good thing. I'm a little nervous about starting a new med but I think it's normal to feel that way. I'm praying it works for him and helps him.

We will see.....

Over a MONTH!!

Yep I'm a terrible blogger! It's official! It's been over a month since I've last posted but I'm not giving up. I'm determined that one day I'll be able to blog everyday or at least close to it :) So what's happened in the last month. Well we went on a little vacation to Galveston. We had a great time and I took alot of great pictures. I'll post some soon. We also found out that we are having a BABY GIRL!!!! Can you believe that?!?! I still can hardly believe it. Needless to say I'm on cloud 9 and having so much fun buying girl clothes. We painted her room pink and bought a crib! I'm still working on decorating it and getting it all ready for her. Let's see what else....Oh Daxton started pre-k and he's loving it so far. He has a great teacher and I'm excited to see all the things he learns this year. We about to change up his medicine and possible add another in the next few months. I'm really nervous about it but we need to figure out what will work best for Dax. I pray that oneday we won't be on any medicine at all but until then we have to find what works. I'll post more on that later. Anyway Sage is getting so big!! 15 months already! He isn't talking at all not one word so yesterday Early Steps came out to start the evaluation process. I really do not think he has autism but I know no matter what early intervention is the key so I'm staying on top of it. The lady will be calling soon to set up the 2nd appt and I'm anxious to see what happens then. Other than not talking Sage is doing great he's running all over the place and getting into everything.

Well now we are up to date hopefully I can keep it that way :)

Pizza, Pizza, Pizza

We had a great day today! We drove to Lafayette to the Incredible Pizza. It was me and the boys, Mom, Tyler, Tanya, Calvin, and Tomi. We got there right at noon and didn't get home until almost 8pm. The boys had a blast well really all of us did.

Wordless Wednesday

 

 

 

Brew Ha Ha

Today was the Brew Ha Ha festival for the St. Nicholas Center. Daxton goes to ABA therapy there. In April the building burned. They were on the third floor of the Children's Museum. Only the first floor where the fire started had major damage or so they thought at first. We were told we would start back therapy in a few weeks after they cleaned up from the smoke damage. Well the smoke damage was way worse than they thought and they lost everything. The entire building is now being gutted and redone. We are in a temp building by St. Pat's hospital right now. Anyway they had a festival today to raise money to replace everything that was lost and also help with the cost of therapy. It started at 2pm and mom, Aunt Lisa, Jordan, Tanya, Calvin, and Aunt Pam all came and helped out. We set up a booth to sell our raffle tickets. All the kids at the center are selling raffle tickets to help raise money for therapy. Everything we sell 100% of the profit goes into our account for our childs therapy. They are $5 a ticket and the prize is 6 LSU-Florida game tickets and tailgate stuff. Me and the boys walked around the festival and sat at the booth. It was soo hot! They never really had alot of ppl at the festival I guess b/c it was so hot. Daxton had fun though. They had face painting, a jump, pony rides. He stayed in the jump most of the time. Jana and Travis came and so him and Travis played. Hollie and Paislie came and so did Kayla and Isaac :) We left about 6:30 but the festival wasn't over until 10pm. The boys were exhausted and both fell asleep early.

Big 25

Yep that's right I'm 25 today!

Today me and the boys stayed at the house and played for most of the morning. Then we went over to mom and dad's for the rest of the day. We had cake and ice cream for my birthday :) Later that night Jordan watched the boys and me, my mom, and Tyler went to the movies. We saw The Proposel it was a good movie!

It was a really good birthday, still can't believe I'm half way to 30! ekkk!
