Updates

Well after checking everyone else' blog i decided to check mine and noticed the last time I posted was like in June. OMG I'm such a loser. Anyway here is an update (minus pictures) on what's going on in my life.

It has finally happened...I go to court on Tuesday September 1st to fight for primary custody of my baby boy. His father has become a major poop head (keeping it clean) and is making up some really bad things about me. Saying my mental health has declined in the passed 30 days and I make irrational decisions when it comes to Jams, and that he's worried every second that I have Jams that I may cause him harm. WTF!!!!! I honestly laughed when i read the papers, mainly cause I have proof and documentation from 2005 to prove everything he is saying about me is totally and 100% false. He just wants to hurt me and is jealous I am happy and have move on so he is using my son as leverage and trying to control me still. All i have to say is. He has F'ed with the wrong mother. I hope the judge sees how dumb and how much of a lier my ex husband is. Please keep me and Jams in your prayers that the case goes in my favor.

On a positive note, my baby girl is crawling. As of August 15th she is mobile and there is no stopping her. She is still trying to get her teeth with no luck but the signs are there. With her still nurseing, her not having teeth isn't such a bad thing. She eats everything and I mean everything. She's just like her daddy.

Sorry there aren't any photos. I have them but with everything thats been going on I just haven't sat down and up loaded them plus my computer and camera are acting up. I will post updated photos as soon as everything settles down. I promise.

New Do!

So I was tired of dealing with my long hair and feeling frumpy. So I chopped it off and love it!

Dede's Sunny Dexter

Mom had to come to the difficult decision a week ago to let Dexter go home. He was having some really bad medical problems and hung in there as long as he could. Mom choose to have Dexter put down the same way I put Bently down. A lady came to the house and we all were there with him hugging and kissing on Dexter when she put him down. It was very hard for everyone there, but my mm took it the worst. I have never seen her cry that hard in a while and it broke my heart. On a higher note, Dexter is back home with mom now. She had him cremated and is in a beautiful box in a glass cabinet at moms along with his foot print. Dexter you are missed and not a day goes by that your not thought of. Love you Dexter and take care of Bently and don't get into to much trouble together. And remember, stay out of the fridge!

Denver and Jams Update

Well as some of you may know, Cj and I moved to Dayton which is about 20 minutes past Carson City. We have a beautiful home, it's completely remodeled an has a huge back yard for the kids. We are in the process of getting a sand bax and swing set from Tinas cousin. It's nice to let the kids outside to play and not worry about cars or dogs or anything like that. I get Jams almost every weekend, due to him being in school in Reno. He's so smart and has tested above average for kids his age. He loves to help mommy in the kitchen and is so willing to learn all kinds of new things. He is so helpful with his little sister. Helps bottle feed her, bath her, and change and dress her. He always wants to be close to her and hug and kiss her. I couldn't have asked for a better helper. And as for my little Denners...she just turned 6 months in May. I can't believe how fast she is growing up, it makes me sad. So far she says Da Da and Daddy and is working on ma ma. She started sitting up about 3 weeks ago and is starting to move around and lift her tummy off the floor. She is going to be moblie in no time. Baby locks here we come. Cj gets the fun of installing those. Denver and myself go for a walk everyday in Benjamins wagon. She loves it. She hates her stroller because she can't see out of it very well and it's confining. I enjoy our walks, it allows us some special quiet away time and when we have Jams we walk to the park and play. Denver reached for me for the first time a few nights ago and it melted my heart. They both know how to tug at mommys heart strings and make me smile. And my goodness does she have the cutest giggle ever.

Frama Weekend

Benjamin, Denver, and Myself spent a fun filled weekend with Frama Dede and Papa Teddy. Jams helped papa clean the garage and pick up stuff around the yard and made a dump run. He loves going to the dump and watching the big tractor push everything into one big pile. Mommy took Denver to get her shots, breaks my heart everytime she gets them. Then later Frama, Jams, Denver, and myself spent the day outside helping Frama get her garden all set up. Jams helped plant and water the vegetables and then help mix cement so we could put up the hammock. My little guy is such a big helper. He's all boy all the time.

Easter

Easter was a wonderful day. Cj, myself and all the kids went to Dad and Tinas for dinner and hoilday festivities. We started out with opening the easter baskets. The kids got candy, toys and much needed clothes. We then enjoyed the old fashioned egg coloring and decorating. It was so fun watching them color their eggs, my do they have wild imaginations. The best part, for the kids, was the Easter egg hunt. They each got about 10 eggs and they all walked away with $5.00 a piece. So needless to say we will be going to G PA and T MAs next year. Hope you all had a wonderful Easter holiday as well.

First Foods

Denver's first experience with rice cereal. Boy did she enjoy it. She wore a lot of it but she did enjoy it. She has also tried sweet potatoes, bananas and applesauce. I have yet to find something she doesn't like. She's going to be just like her daddy who eats anything and everything. I'm glad she likes her food, I don't want a picky eater. She is almost in size 3 diapers already, shes getting so big. And she says Da Da and Ma. She doesn't know shes saying it but it's so cute. And she is starting to sleep through the night. Yeah me!

Kate and CJ

Well now that I've bragged about my kids, I'll tell you what's going on with me. I haven't returned to work and not sure yet if I will be. It all depends on CJ's business as it stands now, we may have to move to Sac, Califorina. Just because it's garrentied work. Things are up in the air right now, but as news comes in I will keep you posted. On a better note, I writing again and am working on my first book. I'm so excited and hope it gets published, cross your fingers. I have also become quiet the chef. During my pregnancy I wached a lot of cooking shows and now I'm a pro. CJ loves my food and I am also working on my own cook book. I already have at least 20 of my own recipes and they just keep building. Thats what's going on with me.

Mommy's Beautiful Baby Girl

Denver (Denners) is now 2 months and four weeks old. She is such a chunky monkey and I love it. She is going to be a smart one just like her brother. She is hitting milestones long before she should be. Even her Doctor is impressed. She smiled at 2 days old. Rolled completely over and still does at a week old, held her head up since birth. She surprises up everyday with something new. And what really amazes me is how much she looks like me...it's scary. (See pictures below) Can you tell which one is me? She sleeps about 4 -6 1/2 hours every night and wakes to eat only once. She loves smiling and cooing and giggling when we look or play with her. And she really enjoys her gym from Aunt Jenn:) She is just overall a very happy little girl. I'm truly blessed with both my babies.

Mommy's Handsome Guy

My little guy just turned 4...yes 4 years old on December 20Th. I can't believe how time flys. He so big and boy is he smart. He was evaluated and he scored above average, mommy is so proud of him. He's is all boy with all this energy. He is such a helpful big brother too. Jams loves his baby sister and makes sure everyone knows it. He helps changing her, bottle feeding her and tells her stories. I love to watch him with her, it's so adorable. And yes he has his jealous moments, so I make sure that he has his special mommy time too. I love my little guy so much and oh yeah he starts private school in a few weeks. I'm so excited to get him back into a structured environment and on a schedule.

Momona Birthday

I had the wonderful opportunity of being at my Momona's 90th birthday party January 17th, 2009. Boy does she look good for 90. She's healthy and happy as can be. We were able to take a 5 generation photo while there. It is a very rare picture and I was glad to get it. I was able to see family from my mothers side of the family that I haven't seen in years. It was so nice, some got to meet Jams and Denver for the first time. I got to see my Grandma Ois and Grandpa great Joe hehe :). My niece gave him that nickname. Everyone seemed to be doing well and we all now have updated information to keep close and updated on everyones life and hapenings.

Christmas

Perfect stocking stuffer, woulndn't you say?

Thanksgiving

I had so much to be thankful for this past Thanksgiving. I have a wonderful man in my life who loves ans spoils me everyday. My son is happy, health, and growing like a weed. My parents are happy and healthy as well and as far as I know Greg and Lindsey and fam are also doing very well in California. And of course my beautiful baby girl was born 5 days before Thanksgiving. Not only did I have these wonderful things to be thankful for but my family from California which I hardly ever get to see came up so we spent the day with them. My nanny got to see her great granddaughter and was so excited.

Been to long

It's been way to long since my last blog entry and as you can tell from my photo my beautiful baby girl joined the family.
