Christmas

Christmas has been so much fun this year.  Kohen has liked just about every Santa he has seen.  When he see's a Santa he will say "ho, ho, ho" and will call all the Christmas decorations Christmas.  We had our little family Christmas at home and let Kohen open his presents from Jake and I.  Kohen and I left for Colorado on the 21st.
Christmas Eve my dad's side all got together like we have been for my entire life.  We mingle, we eat then we sing Christmas songs.  It's quite funny to listen to since our family seams to be tone deaf.  All the men in the family will get up and sing the 12 days of Christmas like they have been for as long as I can remember.  Then all of the women will also get up and sing for us each year it's a different song.  The last song we sing is Santa Claus is coming to town and Santa comes in and hands out the presents.  It's a lot of fun.

On Christmas Day Kohen and I went to my in-laws Kim and Paul's and met with the rest of Jake's family ate breakfast and opened presents. He got a Leap Frog Tag Junior which he loves from Aunt Kim, Uncle Paul and the kids.  Grandma and Grandpa got him a drum set and table. Uncle Pat, Aunt Robin and Angelia got him clip blocks.
My parents got Kohen a tool bench, Elmo Live and legos!  We had a wonderful Christmas this year.

On Saturday we had my Uncle Jerry's funeral he died on the 19th of December.  He was 62 years old. He had 4 children and 10 grandchildren.  He had stomach cancer and they removed his stomach.  The cancer had spread and there wasn't much more that they could do for them.  He fought long and hard.  We will all miss him dearly.

Faith and Fear

In the beginning of our journey I was told by so many that it’s gets easier I’m not going to lie it doesn’t get easier you just find a new normal. It’s an illusion that’s it’s easier. You still have the stress, endless doctors appointments, therapy appointments, medication changes, routines that are being changed, new people coming in and out of your lives friendships that come and go etc.  My anxiety attacks are no longer happening multiple times a day for no rhyme or reason (I can’t tell you the last time I had one actually 🙌🏻 also knocking on some wood right now)  I had made a post the other day about being worried when I dropped Kaiya off at school. I surprisingly have had very little anxiety through this process this year. Last spring completely different story. I have come to the realization that for the most part whatever happens to Kaiya is out of my hands. I can do everything within my power to protect her and she may still one day be taken from me before I w...

To blog or not to?

I'm honestly not sure why I stopped so long ago. I wish I didn't because looking back I love the memories that I did write about. Then of course life happens. I can't believe it's been so long since I have written anything.  I used this as sort of a diary and I'm so sad that I didn't keep up with it.  I'm going to be adding bits and pieces here and there from the past as I find them. Lots will probably be from Facebook posts.  I want to be able to look back and see life's blessings. The good and the bad. The bad is what makes you treasure the good that much more. It makes you stronger. It makes me lean on God that much more. My faith just grows and grows. I want to share it all with everyone that wants to read about our lives.

Things Kohen says

I’m going to update this as I find them and he says them. 3/26/2018 Conversations with Kohen on the way to school. K-Do you think they will take away our 2nd amendment? M-No, but they might try.  What happens when they do take away that? K-Like what Hitler did, he was controlling and powerful, killed a lot. Kohen actually went into more depth than what I put on here and I was pretty surprised which I shouldn’t be. 2/23/2018 On the way home from school Kohen looks at Kaiya and says “ugh...mean mom, why didn’t she take your braces off? Don’t worry I’ll take them off” “There you go, now give me your other foot so I can get that one too.” “Is that better?” “I bet your more comfortable now aren’t you?” “Mom, Kaiya smiled so she must have liked that I took them off right?” My heart just grows and grows for this boys heart. I didn’t think anything about Kaiya having her afo’s on but Kohen was very concerned that she was uncomfortable. 6/20/2015 Kohen trying to convince his ...
