Well I am going to be visiting SLC for about 4days or so. I can not wait. Granted this will be the longest I have been away from McKay and the kids. I have no clue how I am going to react. Still to be able to see most of the family that I have missed so much since I left is going to be great.
I have been asked why go to Utah for my vacation. Granted I could go anyplace. See good friends visit my grandparents. All this I took into consideration. But my heart still pulled to Utah. As much as I would love to see my grandparents. it has been about 13 years since I saw them last. Right now is not the best to visit Ohio. So I am hoping to be able to go see them later this year. I want to be there while my Aunt Susie is there as well.
I am not looking forward to the snow. But I can deal with it. Now my big problem is what to bring and what to wear. I will probably change my mind about a dozen times before my final pack.

so my going ons
I am just trying to keep busy and keep my mind of the holiday season. Which is not working since the kids do nothing but talk about Hanukkah and Christmas over and over. Avery keeps asking what is he going to get. I finally got fed up and told him your not getting anything at all. Well that was a mistake. he went to his room screaming and crying. I tried to calm him and well it did not work. Telling him that it would not be a surprise if I told him what he was getting another failure. So I just left it. He had his fit took a nap and was better. The older 4 are making gifts they do this every year. Normally it is just something out of construction paper or just a drawing. I love that they do this. I was going to make robes but McKay says that it will be easier to just buy a robe for Alex since he is the only one that needs it. Kill Joy. I was hoping to have Nathan's quilt done but that is not happening either. We were robbed of our black Friday shopping due to the fact payroll forgot to do the direct deposit. So no Joann's for me. Guess it is a good thing since I would have gone over board.
Hope is doing good with her new braces. She hates that there is so much that she can not eat. Hope is such a strong girl. Nobody at school is making fun of her and if they are she is not caring. She loves her braces. She is going to have them on for a bout a year. She is such a beautiful young lady already!!

Alex's Accident
Not sure how many of you have read my Facebook post about what happened today. So I will post the full story here as far as I know.
Today after school Alex and Joshua were crossing the street to come home. They ride their bike to and from school everyday. They are both in Middle school now. Joshua in his last year and Alex in his first. School started last Monday. To give some background first Joshua has been ridding his bike for a year with no problems. Here they do not have crossing guards for middle school. Well as usual they check for on coming traffic saw it was safe to cross and proceeded. Well the on coming car thought he/she could get across before them. well it did not happen and Alex was hit. The driver was not going fast at all. He was hit on his right leg which knocked him over.
Once Alex got up and out of the way the driver took off. They came home. This is where they tell me this. I called to police to file the report. I had police paramedics and the fire department here filling out reports and checking Alex out. The paramedics felt that Alex was well enough to stay home in my care. Gave me instructions and what to look out for.
Well now is where everything gets worse. I call to tell Brigett (Alex's birth mother). Of course the number I have is no longer in service. So I call her mother no answer. So I text Sean and he gives me the correct number. After talking to her telling her that all is well explained everything. Well later this evening I noticed I had a few messages on the phone. One is from her mother the other from Brigett. I call Patti back and explained everything. She made me feel horrible like there was something I could have done to prevent this. So I get off the phone with her and returned Brigett's call. She wanted to speak with McKay. But he has to be at work at midnight tonight and was in very early this morning he had already gone to bed.
After things where said. It made me think why could it not have been Joshua. It would have been so much easier.
Granted I did not HAVE to call anybody. But I thought it was the right thing to do. But to hear about it the day it happens then later on I thought.

Going ons here
Well things have been busy here at our house. The weather is nice out again so we have been playing outside allot. Alex has made A honor roll. Nathan has made a/b honor roll and got he attendance award. We are very proud of them both. Over this past month Hope has hurt her wrist and was in a soft cast thing for about a week. It was a bruise on her wrist. Joshua got hurt during PE and badly sprained his wrist. He has been in a splint for the week. He is not happy about that since I will not let him skate board until it is off. Avery has graduated to a big boy bike and loves it. Apartment living is going okay it is still really hard on me since there is not much that all the kids can do. They want to go out and shot the paint ball guns and BB guns but here is not the best place. Next week is my last week of no kids since Joshua will be out of school on the 2nd. Then he will be going to boy scout camp for a week in mid June.
For those who do not know. Joshua has been dealing with a few medical problems. He is nearly 13 and still has issues with bed wetting. So we went to an Urologist and after a month of testing. Joshua's kidneys are both swollen and dilated and is bladder wall is thick. On July 2nd he will be going in for day surgery. They will try to fix the problem then. Of course I do not fully understand everything. Once a doc says surgery my mind sorta turns off. We are waiting longer to do this so he is out of school since he has missed so much due to medical things. And so he can go to camp. I am a little nervous about him being gone for a week. But I am sure he will be fine. His scout Leader is a P.A. and knows about everything going on with Joshua so that really helps.
McKay is working as much as he can but it is still really hard. There are a few opportunities that are possible. One may me a relocation but not sure of it yet.
