Hello it's been a long while"

Wow it has been a crazy long time since I have been on here life of two has taken over and I don't have a lot of free time like I use to! Now where to begin I am now a mommy of a FOUR and TWO year old! It is so crazy how much time flies and how big they are getting! Ayden is loving going to school full time and he is also loving playing baseball and mimicking movies that he watches, his speech is getting a lot better and he is really starting to hit his milestones and he LOVES picking on his little brother and wrestling with him!

Clayton is really starting to talk and that is music to my ears with all the issues with speech with Ayden and I am so glad that he is thriving with this it was such a very hard hurdle to go through with Ayden. Clayton loves coloring and playing games on the iPad and loves singing his AbC's. and pointing out shapes and different type animals he sees while driving in the car. He is also my very full of energy RED head! Ayden is hyper but Clayton has him trumped on hyper ness! Lol didn't think that was possible but with these two I am Always surprised!! Hahaha two boys will keep you on your toes constantly!

We have also had some major changes in our family as well Brent got offered a Job at the beginning of February 13' and we accepted the job offer and we then packed up our house in Fort Worth in two weeks then moved to Terre Haute Indiana. I honestly don't remember a whole lot of February it was such a whirl wind. I was coaching at Image still and leaving the girls was by.far the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Especially when at my last practice they threw me a surprise going away party and got me a sweatshirt that they all signed. One of the most sweetest things that someone has ever done for me.  Settling here in Terre Haute was hard at first especially with the weather! I am from Texas with 80 degree weather during the winter with some freezing days but not really and some rainy days. Well it snowed and rained snowed and rain and we have just had a handful of days of 70 degrees weather but now we are back to the 40-50's and its APRIL! Lol we have bought a home here and we are so in love with it we are loving the huge yard the boys have to play in and really making this new house our home. We are till in the process of trying to sell our house in Texas hopefully we will sell it soon! Ayden has started school here and it's been an adjustment it's not the KELC where he went but he seems to be thriving and that's all that matters! We have also had to say goodbye to our dog Boomer. He attacked our niece the day before Good Friday and we had to put him to sleep. That by far was the worse day of my life the day he attacked her. I still feel so responsible for what happened and how I should have prevented but in the grand scheme of things I know I did everything I could. I never in a million years thought he would do something like that!  Our niece is okay she is healing nicely. She ended up with 8 stitches in her cheek, 7 staples in her head and a puncture wound just above the tear duct on the other eye. I thank god everyday that boomer didn't get her eye or attack the boys or our other niece who was also outside when this all happened. I am also thankful that I found the strength to pull him off of her and get between them so I could get her out of harms way! Easter was nice and quiet we went to see Brent's parents and see how our niece was doing which was so good to see her smiling and in good spirits!

Brent is also settling in at his new job very nicely and is enjoying learning all the new things and meeting his new colleagues. I think that he is really enjoying hanging out with his best friend! He also is starting his new project with his new company and its in Arkansas so he is traveling a little bit which is hard but it will only make me stronger!

I am going to stop rambling and I promise I will try and write more often! Til next time
