Proud

On Thursday we had a meeting at Kyesuns school. Kyesun was giving some tests in December and excelled in 4 out of 5 subjects. This meeting was to talk about Kyesun and how great he did. It was also to sign papers so that way he can be in gifted! I am so proud of Kyesun. He was above average in Math, Analytical thinking, Artistic work, & writing. He will start gifted next week. and will go to Mrs. Tom's class (Gifted teacher) 30 minutes everyday. Their 1st project that they will work on is a CSI project. They will learn how to finger print and solve problems.

Kyesun I am so very proud of you. You are such a smart boy and will go far if you just believe in yourself. I love you and will be here for you always.

BOYS, BOYS, BOYS, BOYS.....................

I JUST LOVE THESE ONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daddy....

Lately I have been thinking about my dad LOTS! I miss him like crazy. I have so many wishes and wants and it saddens me. If I ever needed someone to talk to who would make me laugh I could call him. If I ever needed someone to bring me back to reality he was there. If I needed someone to fix my junk of a car he was there. He was there even when I didnt need him. He was there even when i would treat him horribly. My dad was always there. Now some of you dont know but he was not my biological father. My mom and him were married when I was 6 or 7 but I met him when I was 5. He was the coolest person. Hello he had water beds!! Duh.. lol To me he was and is my only father/dad. He means the world to me and I wish I could tell him just one last time. My dad was torn away from me at the age of 39. He in fact just turned 39 not even a month prior to his death. He died of a sudden heart attack. The night before he was so happy to see his grandson, he was alive and his normal self. I know if he was here he would be so proud of me. He would love his grandkids and they would love him. I know Kyesun adored him and it saddens me that Kyesun last saw him when he was 1 and now Kyesun is 8. My dad just smiled so big when ever he saw Kyesun. Kyesun took my place and was the apple of my dads eye. I miss him and I just wish I could see him even if in my dreams. I would give him the biggest hug. I know he is in a better place and I know he has his arm around my 3 babies who are there as well and that is comforting.

Love and Miss you Daddy!

An American Hero.....

Hi everyone today I would like to share some news on Sgt. James Thode. He gave his life fighting the war in Afghanistan this week. Sgt. Thode worked with Kyle in the department. I have heard nothing but amazing things about him. Kyle really looked up to him and is deeply saddened by this loss. Please take a minute out of your day and pray for Sgt. Thode's family. He leaves behind a wife and 2 kids. Please pray that they will be comforted and have the strength during this difficult time. The Farmington Police department has set up the  James Thode Memorial Fund at Wells Fargo Bank to benefit the family. For more information contact Sgt. Robert Perez or Sgt. Shawn Scott at (505) 327-7701. Every little bit helps.

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!

All these pictures are from Kyesuns baptism.

Here are some recent pictures of Konner & Kayben
