CRAZY

I don't even know where to start, this last few weeks have been awful!! Jeff has been in the hospital. He went in on April 16th and did not get released until the 22nd. He is still week and slow. Yesterday he tried to have the boys all day and he feel a sleep by 9pm last night. I hope he is getting his rest that he needs. Then Melissa R. boyfriend KC got told he would only have a week or two left of his life, because he is dieing of colon cancer. I feel really bad for Kc and Melissa you can tell Melissa loves Kc to death. Its sad that a kid so young has to go through hell and back. Last night KC was not doing good at all, we will be lucky if he makes it to the weekend. And my dad is still not doing well himself and he has been a big help with my boys while I was in the hospital with Jeff. Hopefully in a couple more weeks my dad will start feeling better.

On with so good news! Easter was on the 24th. Brackston could not wait for the Easter bunny to come. He started Friday asking me if the Easter Bunny was coming. He was so excited to have Saturday to come, he woke up and said let go to grandma Peggy's house to get eggs. The Easter egg hunt was not until 2:30 so he had a long Saturday waiting on the Easter Egg hunt. Our Friend Garret came with us with his daughter Autumn I believe they had fun. Garret does not have much family, so we invited him up to it.

I have to thanks Garret and Steve for all they have done for Jeff. They have been so good to him. There willingness to care for him and let him know that they are there for him.

Well I'm probably missing stuff right now but I can always wright more.

MY BOYS

My boys are the light of my life. I Love them so much, I can't be more greatful that I have my two boys and Husband. I just wish I could be a stay at home mom with them, I just keep hoping and praying some day before they get to old I can stay home with them. I have to be greatful right now that I don't have to take them to a "day care" I have wonderful family that watches them everyday for me. My dad watches them 1-2 day aweek. My Grandma West watches them 1 day aweek. Grandma Peggy watches them 1-2 days a week. My in-law watches them 1 day aweek. I just love all there help. If I had to pay for a day care I would not work because my whole pay check would go to day care.

Also today my friend Joclyn is having a baby boy. It makes me want another baby, but at the same time I would have to stay home if I had another little one because I believe it would be to hard on my family to take 3 kids. So I just keep on praying that Jeff can get a better job that will support us, and I can get like a little day care going or something to bring in some income. So if anyone reads this and know of anyone that is looking for a cheaper day care, I would love to take them.

April

Well it was Brackston Birthday on the 5th. We had our family celebrate it on the 3rd because, Jeff's family was up for Ileen's Birthday. Her Birthday is on March 30th, but we had a surprise party on the 1st of April. She turned 60! We did Brackston's party at the Fire Station so we had enough room to have everyone. Brackston is so into Dinosaurs and Diego. So when we started to sing happy birthday we replaced his name for Diego. Then on his actual birthday one of my friends made him a cake and it was a dinosaur cake he loved it. Brackston would not let us cut the cake when we got ready to cut it. It was not until the next day we would let us eat it. My dad has had kidney stone and kidney problems for the last 3 weeks, he has been in and out of the hospital with complications on it. Hopefully they can figure out what to do with him. On top of that Jeff has had Crohns problems and in out of the hospital and Dr offices I hope we can get that under control. Tripp has started off with a cold the last couple of nights and that has not been fun. Tripp is just my little handful but love him to death. He still won't talk. Once in awhile I can get him to say mom or dad but not that often. I'm figuring out if he does not start to talk by end of this month I am going to get him into the under 3 program, so he won't be behind in his speech. He is such a big kid, he is in 2T clothing already! He is also a solid kid he don't look fat but he is heavy I bet you he weighs around 30 pounds. Also some GREAT news is the Timmy came home from his mission this weekend (4/9). That is a surprise but a good one! I can't believe he is home already! I love it. Also I passed my pack test for the forestry that is good to have that done. Also Happy Birthday to my dad today! Poor man still is so sick! I will Try and post some pictures tomorrow of the birthday's that we have had and of Timmy!
