WONDERFUL DAY!

My visit with Tyler today is so wonderful! I am so excited to see him open his eyes and respond a little to small tasks! I asked "Tyler can I kiss your nose" and He said "NO" What a wonderful moment. I even tickled him with kisses and he smiled!! It makes my heart melt!! I am ever so grateful for him and the progress he is making! I cannot describe how wonderful it feels, how grateful I am, and much as a mother, now the love that surrounds me! Aunt Shannie was able to fly in today and it has been so wonderful also to have her here. We have missed her! So for those of you wondering Tyler is doing well and is progessing little at a time! Our prayers continue for him! What a wonderful and thankful day!! :)

Our Little Miracle

Just wanted to post a update on Tyler and as I sit at the Library computer with Dieter words cease to come. Tyler has had a couple of wonderful days and is slowly moving in a good direction. I find myself kicking me for all the ungratefulness that I have had in my years as a mom. I find myself having good moments and hard moments. So I do the best we know how at this point and hang on to stable life for myself and most importantly my boys. It is still really hard for me to express everything that has happened, but I am so grateful for all my family (Randi you are family!) and all the support, prayers and hugs! My sis is doing a wonderful job posting his progress and she speaks so much better than I could at this point. Thanks sis, your the best! Please know that while we are not out of the woods Tyler is doing well and we will continue down this road, please keep him in your prayers~! Love to all
Janell and Dieter

Tyler - Our little ANGEL

As many of you may know, Tyler is currently in the ICU unit at Primary Children's Hospital. He has a severe head trama. Today is still very hard for me to post any feelings I have had, but I want all to know that he is stable and at this point still fighting. We continue to pray that he slowly gets better and remains fighting. Thank you to all of you who have kept him in your prayers and continue to. He is a fighter and I pray every moment that he will recover and come home soon. Love to all

Naughty BOYS!!

So pitchure this, it is a normal day and all I want to do is take a shower and get ready for the day while my boys watch a movie!! WRONG!!! Apartently life lessons should have told me that this is impossiable!! So I don't listen and jump into the shower phone by the sink and boys in thier room watching a movie! Next thing I know my phone starts to ring I wash the soap out of my eyes and glimpse at the id to see who is calling. It is my Bro Josh! So I ignore the ringing, I will call him back when I get out of the shower. To not much of my surprise he does not leave a voice mail and hangs up and calls back!! So by this time Deiter who can hear a phone ringing from miles away, runs into the bathroom and answers my phone not leaving it alone as I asked!! Oh well, I thought it is Josh he will talk to him until I get out of the shower!! So I proceed to shower thinking to myself how wonderful it is to know the boys are occupodo and I am getting a break! WRONG AGAIN!! So while I am in the shower dieter is in the kitchen with Tyler who is having a most lovely time cracking eggs on my floor, which mind you I had just sweep and mopped!! Dieter is telling Uncle Josh, "Tyler cracking eggs" . So Yes, Tyler was in the kitchen cracking eggs on the floor and then proceeded to take bites of the peaches from the fridge and leave them as little presents for me in my bed!! I just wanted to scream!!! So heres to naughty boys who when you least expect will always find something to entertain you!!! OR make your day much more interesting!! I don't know what I would do without having to clean the house twice in one weekend!! Hopefully as they grow older they will realize that mommy dosn't like the eggs on the floor, the marker on the wall or the tv from thier room on the floor! Oh my my, what a end to a week eh!!

Okay so I just thought I would let you all know again how much of a Drama Guy Dieter is! So I get to the daycare to pick him up and the first words out of his mouth are " Mommy I cut my finger off" With emphisis on the cut and off. What now how would your finger be cut off and noone called me. Okay so what really happened is he was cutting paper with child proof sisors(I don't know how to spell) and got a little to carried away! He has a small cut on his thumb, which he insists is bleeding all the time! So needless to say we are never lack of entertainment in our home!! Love the kid!!

Okay so it has been awhile since I last posted, and I have certainly had alot of appifinys (if that is how you spell it, sorry mom) So much has happened in the last few months. Ryan and Shannon are now in the big city of San Fran. Dieter is going to start full time at the LUCDA for more preschool this coming week, and I have come to some very seruious conclusions about myself.
1. Ryan and Shannon you are much bravier than I ever could be. You two are so adventurous and I love that about you. I pray that all continues to go well for you there, even though I have to say "You are WAY to FAR AWAY!! LOL" Maybe someday we can come and visit, although just a thought is San Fran ready for Dieter!!?? I think that this may be the city of his dreams, my little dramatic boy!
2. Dieter starts LUCDA soon and will have to ride the bus to and from the preschool back to daycare till I get off work. To me he is growing up and all to fast! He is excited though and loves the bus!! We will be headed off to Walmart some time this week to purchase the nessesities and I promised myself that I wouldn't cry, I might tear up though this is hard.
3. About myself, I have gone through life till this point worring about what others thought of me, about what I can do to help take care of people, to little time for myself. So at this point I have made it my new goal in life to remember that I am me and living my life to the best of my ability and that what others think is not important to me. Love me or Hate me either way I don't care. I do what is best for me and my kids and it is time for me to to take charge of myself and be me. Letting people in to my world Crazy as it may be. I am most happy when I am me.

Why-------

Don't people of this world have a conscience? Don't people of this world beilive in Karma? I beilive in doing whatever it takes to better yourself and your family, but I also belive not taking from others in the process~! I beilive in protecting my family and the people that I love with everything I have! When it tears from you on your close friends and the person you love, I do beilive that it is right to protect the one you love! For soul mates don't get the chance to meet as often as they should, and true love is not as abumdit in as much as it needs to be. So when you find it hold to it never let it go!! Stand by the person you love stand by them in everytime of need and heartache. I beilive that karma is out there and people who do not choose to give to others will not receive themselves. For true love conquers all and soul mates are joined together forever when found

CONFUSED

LIFE IN GENERAL IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE SENSE RIGHT? WELL WHY DOSN'T IT MOST THE TIME! WHY WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE FIGUARED IT ALL OUT LIFE CHANGES FOR YOU BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE DOSN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT? I GUESS THAT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE FACT THE YOU HAVE TO LIVE LIFE FOR YOU AND NOONE ELSE, WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL INTO PLACE. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I AM LEANING ON NOW! GO WITH THE FLOW! HOPEFULLY IT IS FLOWING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, LOL!!!

IT'S OKAY YOUR MOM NOT SUPERWOMEN!!

No matter how hard you try to hide all the dangourous stuff in the house, they will find something at some point in time. No matter how hard you try not to swear in front of them, they will repeat a swear word learned when you thought they weren't listening. No matter many times you tell them "No" they will try it just to see. No matter how careful you are about not giving them to much food on thier plate, they will throw some on the floor. No matter how many times you tell them, they will still ask "Why". No matter how many times you tell them not to undo the seatbeat, they still will. No matter how many times you try not to yell at them, not to loose your temper and not to become completly overwhelmed with them, you will. But no matter how many times you do, they will always love you, hug you when you are crying, ask you if you are okay, be excited to spend time with you, and above all never lose thier faith in you.

We have decided to plan a trip to Yellowstone, this fall. I am excited and I am starting to plan! If anyone has any great ideas or places to visit along the way please let me know! Look out Yellowstone, two wild monkeys are coming and they love animals!!! :)

Crazy Cupcake Mess

So for many of those who already know, my baby Tyler is turning 2 on Sunday. For which it sadens me that he is already this big, but that is neither here nor there. So for daycare today he had a birthday party, for which I was allowed to bring a treat for the kids in his class to celebrate the big 2 with him. Jeff and I searched the store last night for a hour and a half trying to decide what to make as far as cupcakes were concerned. I was going to make them home made, of which I had every good intention! We gathered all the nessecary stuff, and then decided to check the prices of already made cupcakes! Why not, they were 5 dollars a dozen, hence all the time I would spend preparing them I thought "Sure, I'll do that, then the boys will never know about the cupcakes"! So we did it, we made it home with a present and cupcakes in the truck and two boys who knew nothing of this little plan! (I keep it quiet to my boys since the diaster last year with Dieter's cupcakes!) So we woke up early this morning, and off to drop them off I go, when Tyler who was just got out of bed, was screaming out of hunger! So I say "Tyler it is your birthday party today at school, and these cupcakes are for you and your class"! Okay, first you would think I would learn by now that telling them about sugar period is not a good idea, nor was telling the newly 2 year old about something that he would want to help with! Immediatly Tyler cryed the whole way to the daycare, and all the way out the car until I handed him in those tiny little hands a tray of cupcakes! Oh how his face lit up with a sugar high! Okay so it went well until he couldn't see over the cupcakes to watch where he was going and tripped over the cement! Yes cupcakes went everywhere, so and I am sorry to say the I being the mom in me that I am, quickly picked up the cupcakes wiped the dirt off and put them back in the box! I know your thinking "What did she just do"! But as you will expreiance in those times of crazyness and your a mom you will do things that you never saw yourself doing before! Tyler on the other hand was also picking them up and proceeding to tear the liner off and eat them, as if we never feed his bottomless pit!! So needless to say the cupcakes made it to school, along with a screaming little boy who knew nothing but mommy was not only leaving him earlier then normal but with out sugar in his little cabagepatch hands! So as I left the daycare building I could feel my eyes start to feel with tears that Tyler was 2, that I had almost got mad for the cupcake mess, and that my two boys were growing up before I was pleased that I had done the best job in thier small years. So I get in my car take a few deep breaths and remind myself, that even though there crazyness in life that it is okay sometime to lose it and be a weeping mom of insanity that your kids will still love you and that life will go on there are many more exciting moments to look forward too!! :)
