Update on our family!

Well, I wish I would have known about this blogging website, I would have been updating it all along! Well, where to start. The kids are growing up so fast! Nevaeh, can you believe it 7 and in the 1st grade! She is doin' amazing in school, which doesn't surprise me! She has always loved learning! She is currently in ballet and also does amazing in that. She has always had a love for dancing and singing. She has a recitel coming up soon which we are so excited about! She is still the light of my life(not that the other kids aren't, cuz they definantly are) She is such s great helper and she is such a wonderful person in general! She loves being a big sister and she helps out so much! She used to get annoyed when I asked her to help with simple things such as grabbing a pacifier for Emma or helping the other kids with something but one day she came to me and said, "Mom, it has to be hard raising 4 kids so I have decided to be a better help" Ever since then she has been amazing with helping out with the other kids! And Desmond, where to begin with him. He is our little trouble maker of the bunch, well not the only one, as Olivia is right there with him lol He is ALL BOY! But he is also such a sensative and caring boy. He started pre-school a while ago and since starting, they are so impressed by how fast and how far he has came! At first we were deciding on holding him back and sending him to kindergarden not this coming fall but the next, but in the last month, he has shocked us all! Learning he is doin' great at but still having a lot of trouble with noises and large crowds. He has taken to a little girl at school by the name of Alyssa and she has helped him not be so scared to be around people and be scared of noises that wouldn't bother others.. But that will never go away so we are just trying to find ways to cope with it... He had his first concert last week and he did very well considering the problems he has.. Only thing, be picked his nose most of the time! haha Goofy kid! So, I am hoping that we can get him in Kindergarden this fall and it will go uphill from there! Now Olivia, that girl is a handful for sure! She is definantly 2! But she is so fun though. She also has a love for singing and dancing and she is VERY good at it! She LOVES Hanna Montana as well lol She also has a sensative side and she is a very caring person as well. She is learning more and more each day and it amazes me how quickly she is learning to put more sentences together. She is definantly our clown of the family lol She can light up a room and make anyone laugh at any time... I can but i can't waite for her to get older and see what kind of young girl she becomes..And as for her allergies, she is actually doing fairly well... She is still on a special formula which, thank goodness for insurance becuase it is the most expensive stuff out there!!! But her tolerence for normal table foods is getting better. She can to a day or two and eat whatever she wants and be fine, but then there are days, even weeks where she breaks out in horrible rashes and it comes straight out the bottom! So, we just kinda let her pick what she wants and she has learned what happens when she has things she cant have.. They said they usually outgrow it at 6 months, well she didn't.. So now they are saying if she doesn't outgrow it by 5, it is a lifelong allergy but we have learned to deal with it and if that is what God has handed us, that is fine by us. As long as she is healthy and happy, that's all that matters. And then there is Emma... She's our little fatty. Her and Olivia are in the same clothes and they are almost 19 months apart! We weighed them both a week ago and Emma was 1 pound bigger than Olivia lol She eats anything and everything, litterally! I know most people would say only baby food but beings this is our 4th, I have learned over the years what kids can and can't handle and if she can handle normal table foods, well were gonna give them to her! She is also getting big fast and learning like crazy! She is talking and trying to crawl:) She says Momma, Dada, baba, gaga and babbles on and on.. Its so exciting seeing how fast she is growing but its also sad becuase she isn't our little baby anymore:( She has one tooth and getting another. She has been rolling over and sitting up on her own for 3-4 months now! She learned very quickly! And as for Travis and I... He works like crazy and I just stay home with the kids.. We don't see eachother much but we have learned that is a part of life! We are both doin' well.. We are healthy and happy and that's all that matters! Well, I will keep updating this time to time to keep everyone informed!
