We are Moving!

Well this coming week we will be packing up our stuff and moving out of this apartment we're in now. And soon be living into our new place. We figured that because we will be living here in Georgia for 2 more years we wanted a nicer place to live so we found a townhouse which is bigger, in a quiet neighborhood, is $100 dollars less rent and has a backyard. we are both really excited. Here is a picture of our new home, our townhouse is the cream one in the middle. Alex loves being able to run around on the grass in our backyard.
The townhouse has a fenced cemented patio that opens up to a big backyard, which we share with the 2 other townhouse next to us. We've already met the neighbors and there both really nice. We will be living in our new place by the end of this coming week. Hooray!!

No more Doctors Please!!

I don't know about doctor's these days, So far we still haven't figured out what is causing Alexander's development delays. We've been to Genetics & done 2 blood tests, had a MRI done, all those came back normal which is good. We went to Neurology for Alex to get a EEG done to check his brain waves and to see if he is having any unknown seizures. It will be 2 weeks before we get the results back. Genetics wants to do 1 more blood test. Plus Alex has Occupational therapy, Speech therapy, and Physical therapy 2 times a week. We are seeing improvement slowly and I 'm sure all his therapy's are helping. We love our little boy so much!! It's a joy to watch him when he learns something new, he gets so proud of himself and has a huge smile on his face. He is so special and fun to have around. I've been feeling lately that my son Alex may have some kind of autism, and I'm okay with that. All his doctor's wanted to do different testings to see if the development delays might be caused by something else before they diagnose it as autism. If it is, I know it will be challenging but working together with Devon and with the Lord's help we will get through this. Here is a couple pictures we took when Alex was getting his EEG done. He was not a happy camper. The nurse had to strap his arms down and wrap him up so he couldn't move for 20 minutes long. Poor Kid!

Christmas in Utah

We are now back in warm sunny Georgia after a nice week in a half vacation to see family and friends in Utah for Christmas. We had a blast spending time with the family singing Christmas songs, eating lots of food, playing with all the nephews and nieces,there was about 35 people in one house, building a 9 foot tall Snowman, seeing the movie 7 pounds, visiting friends with new babies, and enjoying the snowy weather and big mountains. It was so nice to catch up on whats happening with everyone in the family. We wandered about Alex being overwhelmed with all the people, there was probably about 35 people including kids in one house. But Alex did great, He loved the attention and loved running around with all his cousins. It took us 1 1/2 hour to build the snowman but it was fun.

Wut's Been Goin On With Us...

I haven't had much to blog about lately but here's the update on whats been going on with us the past 2 weeks... We had a couple of visitors, Devon's dad and step mom stayed with us for one day. We enjoyed watching the BYU vs UTAH football game together, dinner, and talking about good times. It was a quick visit but it was really nice to see family and spend some time with them. They even brought alex a new toy a Jack in the box, Alex was so excited to play with it. Devon, Alexander, and I went over to our friend Navy Adam's house. It was fun. They have a little farm with chickens, pigs, goats, cats and a big yard to run around in. Alex enjoyed walking around looking at all the different animals and playing with Adam's 7 month old little girl Cassie. We took Alex to see Santa even though it was pouring down rain outside. We walked over to the Apartment Manager's office where they had a pretty decorated Christmas tree and Santa sitting in a big chair letting little kids come sit on his lap. We usually go to the mall and get pictures with santa there but this year we were lucky to be able to take our own pictures, plus it was Free. I'm always up for free stuff. Santa even told Devon And I that we are never to old to sit on Santa's lap so we even joined in the fun by getting our picture with santa. Santa had a real beard too. This coming weekend we are looking forward to flying back to our hometown in Logan Utah for Christmas. It will be great to see family and friends. I'll end our blog with pictures. I hope that ya'll have a wonderful Christmas Holiday and a very Happy New Year! Be Safe and remember what the true meaning of Christmas is all about. We love Ya'll and have a Merry Christmas!

A Thanksgiving Tag

Hello everybody,
I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving with your family and friends. I thought I'd start a Tag. Thanksgiving is a time to think of what we are thankful for so here's the tag....

What are 5 things you are thankful for.......

1) I am so thankful to have the true gospel in my life and to be a member of the church of Jesus christ of latterday saints.

2) I'm thankful for my Family and Friends. We appreciate all the love and support that ya'll have given.

3) I'm thankful for Life and this beautiful world God created for us to live on.

4) I'm thankful for my husband Devon being able to be in the Air-Force. The military has great benefits by paying for all our medical bills and my little boy Alexander's therapys. We wouldn't be able to afford all that stuff by ourselves.

5) I'm thankful for my nice warm home to live in to keep me out of the cold outside and I'm thankful that my hubby and I both have a car to drive where ever we need to go.

There is so many things to be Thankful for. I'd like to tag my friends, Becky, Valerie, Cheryl and Christina and anyone else who wants to write what their Thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving to Ya'll. Have a wonderful Holiday and weekend! Love Ya!
