Crazy Times!

Bear with me...there's gonna be a lot in this post! Just want to bring everyone up to speed on our crazy life! Alex has been doing GREAT! I have been able to stay home and we are using routine, encouragement, consistency, diet, and anything that helps him to keep on the "moving forward" path. We do not want to medicate him. This is working, and we are going to keep doing what works! Here is one of Alex's projects that he worked so hard on. We are so proud of him and the hard work he puts in daily at school. We know it's a struggle for him, but he's persevering and doing well.

Luke is loosing teeth by the handful! He's lost 3 teeth in the last month! He is a busy kid! He's doing well in Kindergarten and was the KING in his Nursery Rhyme Time Rhythm program. He had to recite a poem, they sang, and he was the King in the "Ol' King Cole" poem. He was excited that Kevin and I were both able to attend his program. They also made their own refreshments. He LOVES school! He does well. We are so proud of the progress he's made this year. Here's a picture of us at his program.

B is also doing well! She loves school and has all A's and B's. She is in the school band and loves playing the drums. She has played in a few concerts this year, and we love to see the progress she makes at each show. She has been babysitting a lot and earning money. She loves going to the mall with her friends and buying all sorts of stuff! She helps us all the time watching the boys and is a great big sister. She is loving, kind, brave, and beautiful. We are so proud of her and the good choices she is making daily in her life. She is GORGEOUS!!

Kevin...well, he's busy as ever at work. He is always busy with work! But, he loves working up at Bluffdale. He is a great leader and we are excited to see what changes will be coming this year. He works hard for our family and we all appreciate all that he does for us. He works even harder so I can be home with the kiddos. I will always be grateful for that! We have had a lot of fun over the past few weeks! He has been a huge support system for me and I love him for that. We got to take the kids to Camp Williams to watch the soldiers do some target shooting with some "big" guns. The kids had a blast, and Kev was right there having fun with them too. Here's a picture from the shooting range:

As for me, well we went to Arizona for a week so I could get my CrossFIT Instructor Certification. I am WAY excited. I have been doing CF for almost 2 years and I really wanted to do the training. Eventually, I'd like to do some of my own training and do a gym. For now, it was great to just add to my skills and knowledge. I'm so glad I did it. I got to train with some awesome people, learn a lot, and even get some good workouts in. 2 full days of information, training, and a test; I was pooped. I thought we would get our scores right then and there. We didn't. I had to wait for almost a week. I PASSED!! It was a great training and I'm so glad I had the support from Kev and the kids and was able to go for it! Here's a pic with the awesome trainers I got to work with:

After my training, we spent the next few days relaxing at my parents house and enjoying family time and the kids' Spring Break. All-in-all, we are busy, but having a blast!
