Where Have I Been?

There is no easy answer to this question. I know where I haven 't been. I am having a terrible time trying to figure out where exactly I have been. I am still working three days a week watching Addison. I am cutting hair more and more. (No complaints there from me.) I have been running all over the house chasing my kids, and our new dog, Strawberry. But I would say if you want to keep up with us, you need to come to AZ. I have been doing some Scrapbloging, you can check out the things I have done at http://www.scrapblog.com/gikkisphotos . I am not up to date, but I am progressing. I love this site. You make your scrapbook pages with out the mess, and...now you can print your book. So that is where I have been. Some new things for us is our Puppy...
Her name is Strawberry. Dani named her. It was a toss up between Chocolate and Strawberry. Since she can't actually say Chocolate (it sounds like a combination of her clearing her throat and saying ChChCh over and over.) we lovingly guided Dani to name the dog Strawberry. She goes by Berry most of the time. Strawberry when she pees on the floor and needs to vacate the house before I kill her.
The next new thing is our new Mini Van. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!! I can't wait to take some long trips in here to see our family is Utah, and Idaho. We are also planning a trip to California to spend a night on the beach camping. YEA!!!!!

We have been really blessed since I have last written. J.J. is doing so much better than he was in December. We hope they have figured out what his problem is with his lungs. We went to Phoenix Children's Hospital and had some tests done. FINALLY!!!! They are saying that his epiglottis doesn't fully cover his trachea when he swallows liquid, so a portion of his liquid is going into his lungs, and that is why he breaths so fast. Because his lungs are compromised. We now have to thicken all of his bottles with baby cereal. Fun times....But he is everywhere. He is crawling and climbing up stairs, standing up to furniture and literally chasing me down.

Danilynn has entered her terrible twos...does anyone know how to handle this developmental period of a child's life? She is making me crazy. I love her to pieces, so she is worth it. She loves to go riding in the truck with her daddy and drive to Sonic for an Apple Juice Slush. She is addicted.

Jerm is working 45 hours a week, and taking two classes. I rarely get to see him, I have to catch myself to make sure I cherish the time we do get together. I have to remind myself that he is working so hard for our family. He is a hard worker and I have never been more grateful for him in my life, than I am today. He is everything I could ever want. I have been blessed.
