Lots to catch up on
So I have been MIA once again. I have not updated our family blog in so long. It seems like I am constantly busy taking care of 3 kids and trying to keep people updated on how Konner is doing through his blog. First things first.
Kyle: He is doing great. Back to work and is busy as usual. He is great to go to work and then come home and play with the kids and then we get an hour to 2 hours to ourselves each night to watch movies or catch up on shows.
Myself: I am busy with taking care of the kids. I am recently trying to get back into photography. When we found out Konner was sick with cancer I took a break from photography, now that things are getting better I did my first photo shoot a couple of days ago. I will post pictures on my photography blog. I am also going to try and be better at scrap booking but we'll see how that goes.
Kyesun: Well well well... what do we say... For starters Kyesun turned 8 on 10/15 can you believe that! My little baby is now 8. I dont know where the time has gone. I love this kid dearly as I do all my kids but this one is pretty amazing. He is such an awesome helper. He is an incredible big brother! He is smart and talented and is ahead of everybody in his class. 2nd he got baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on 11-6-2010! He was so excited and I am so proud of him! He did such a great job and his favorite part was wearing the awesome white jump suits.
Kayben: He is getting so BIG. He is such a handful lately. I have been trying to potty train him and he has absolutely NO DESIRE to be a big boy lol. He LOVES his big brother Kyesun and tries to follow him and copy everything he does. He is starting to get into the telling on everybody phase though. But i sure do love him.
Konner: This baby is so special to me. He lights up my day and brings the biggest smile to my face. although he only says dada he is still a huge momma's boy! He is crawling EVERYWHERE and getting into EVERYTHING! He is also starting to pick himself up off the floor and hold on to the couch standing up. This for us is a BIG deal because we though he may need to have therapy to help him use his legs. Because of where his tumor was it was pushing on his spine and made it curve a bit. But once again this amazingly tough lil guy has proved us wrong.
here are some pictures of everything!

WoW... Where does the time go....
So we are finally MOVED IN to our home!! I love our house, now if only we can get the exterminator out here to get rid of all our creepy crawlers! lol... We have ants like crazy but im sure that is bound to happen since this house has not been occupied in over a year! Anywho....
So we are moved in and we are loving it. Kyesun has started 2nd grade!!! Can you believe it my little baby is now a 2nd grader! He is seriously so SMART and is getting to be so BIG! Kayben is growing like a weed and is the trouble maker/sweet talker in the family. His favorite thing to say is "Hello Gorgeous"! Konner is almost 7 months. He is getting stronger and stronger every day. He always has the biggest SMILES on his face and he is my Cuddle bug. Kyle is back to work and Loving it although im pretty sure he misses me and would rather be home! I am doing what moms do best.. I stay at home and take care of the 2 little ones. Oh and I still LOVE taking pictures but havent done that much. I hope to get back in the swing of things soon! I have also decided to sell SCENTSY!!!!!!!!! So if you or anybody you know would like to buy scentsy let me know. I will put my scentsy site on the next post!
Well there is your update! Hopefully I will keep up with this blog!!!

An Update Finally
Sorry I have been M.I.A lately. We have been so busy with moving and with Konner's Dr's appointments. I hardly have any time to sit and write about anything lately. So here is an update for you on my little family.
First off...... We have finally moved from the valley and in with Kyle's parents until we find a house in Farmington. Kyle, Konner and I made a quick trip to Farmington this past weekend and looked at 13 houses. We found a house right next to Kyle's sister and hope that they except the offer. It was a fast trip but well worth it. If they accept our offer we will be moving back to Farmington in the beginning of July.
Konner is doing good but broke out in a rash and has eczema. I feel so bad for this poor baby. Cancer, Teething, colic, allergies, and now eczema. He has alot going on but he is still smiles. He has an appointment in the valley on Thursday and Friday. It will be his last 2 tests until September or sooner if need be. We have come to a decision on his treatment and whether or not to remove his tumor. Check out his blog for updates. Konner's Fight.
Kyesun is getting so big. Seriously this kid is going to be 8 in October and is too smart for his own good. He Loves his brothers and is such an amazing helper. He will be baptized soon too but said he wants to wait till his is 21 so he doesn't have to go under water. Kids..... Got to love them!
Kayben is a tough little kid. I mean you should see the Calves on this kid. He is pretty strong and is big for his age. He knows how to make the funniest faces and has eyes to die for. He is my little man.
Kyle is pretty excited to start work. He needs a break from all the madness going on at the Dowdy House. Although im sure he loved these last 2 months of being home, he needs to get back to work. I think he was a little overwhelmed with everything. lol
Me, I hope I can get back to photography as soon as things settle down a bit. I really miss that. I am also really happy that I got to see all my nieces and nephews in NM. I haven't seen them in a year and boy have i missed them.
I don't have any pictures to update you with until we get to our new house. Because i am on my in laws computer. Hope that has summed everything up.

Proud........
With everything that has been going on lately I forget to tell a certain person how special he is to me.
Kyesun has been an amazing 1st grader. He has received ALOT of awards at school. To name a few he has gotten are.. Schleuter Superstar 2 times, Quarter Student of the Month, Best All around Student.... He is truly a great kid. He is so kind and thoughful. He loved buying his teacher apples during lunch. He always thinks about other people before himself. He is loving, caring, considerate, outgoing, shy, funny, crazy, loud, and awesome. I had Kyesun when I was 17. I would NOT change anything about that. Because of this amazing little boy my life changed for the better. I have always had friends that were older then me, so I was always mature for my age. But after having Kyesun I really grew up. Sometimes I forget that im still only 25. Crazy I know right. Im 25 and I have an almost 8 year old. Kyesun is my baby. I have so much to thank him for.

Kyesun my not so baby boy.... I love you with all my heart! I am so proud of you and all that you have accomplished this year. You are an amazing brother and a wonderful son. I am so happy to have you in my life!
I love you!
Frustration................
This is exactly how I feel right now. Frustrated and a little overwhelmed. I have so much going on in my life right now and sometimes I have to ask the all to famous question....."Why Me"?! Its not like having your husband gone for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 years out of your 7 and 1/2 year marriage isn't enough. You also have to throw in the sudden loss of a father, 2 miscarriages, 1 still born, and 1 baby that has cancer....... I have endured a lot these past couple of years and sometimes I do catch myself crying and feeling sorry for myself. Thats where I get the question "why Me"?
Then I go to the cancer clinic where my baby is treated... And I see all the the kids that walk in and out of that clinic and im sure they have asked themselves that famous question too. But they still manage to have smiles on their darling faces and the most contagious laughs! I wish I could be more like them at times. Just forget about EVERYTHING and LIVE for NOW! I want to be more like them. I have so much NOW to LIVE for.... I have a husband who makes me laugh. I have 2 healthy little boys... I have one STRONG baby... I have an amazing Mother! I really do have alot to be thankful and happy for right NOW!!
I just have to remind myself from time to time........................................
