Living Life as a Parker!

Now, I know it has been forever. For this I am sorry. We are all alive and well and a lot has happened for us. Zach started Kindergarten and loves it. He talks about his teacher and her son daily. He pokes at speaking spanish often. He says his teacher loves to teach him Spanish. All of his progress reports have been incredible. I am very grateful for a smart boy who loves to learn. He has lost 5 teeth total, one after the other. This last one I was finally brave enough to help him pull out. I know I am kinda wimpy on inflicting extra pain on my kiddo's. I womaned up though and helped assist the last one out as it was hanging by a strong thread.

Tyler is good. He saw a neurologist after his 3rd seizure he had while we were flying down the airport runway in Seattle back in September I am a nurse but when I see each of his seizures my heart just worries that I might lose him. I love this boy so much even though he is my craziest child yet. Day in and day out I wonder if the two of us will survive the day but then I realize that my boys truly are my best friends. I could not imagine a life without them. Anyway, the neurologist sent him for bloodwork, and MRI and an EEG. He was a trooper through all of this, he acted like nothing was scary (a blessing). Blood work and EEG came back normal. The MRI showed a small part of his brain similar to cerebral palsy children but since the doctor says he shows no symptoms of this there should be nothing to worry about unless he shows decreased development. She said he is very smart and not developmentally delayed (good to hear). She also said his ADHD is completely normal for his age as he turned the lights on and off as he stood up on the examining table...I thought this was funny. Love him.

My bryson, Kenny calls an Angel. He was the easiest child from day one. When he was born it was so quick I had no clue all was done and well. The doctor was so happy he was okay because he had a full not in his umbilical cord. He has been very quick to pick up all of his milestones. He loves to stand now and laugh at his brother Zach, Tyler he is still unsure of. We did find he is somewhat allergic to Johnson and Johnson babywash but we fixed that problem, he is our fancy soap boy. LOL.

My sweet husband is awesome. He got an amazing job as an auditor working for his bank. Its a training program that he loves and the job is challenging. This job was such a blessing. We had been praying for a job that I could go back to being home more and the next day he got a call for an interview after almost a year and a half of applying for jobs. After three stressful interviews and 400 applicants he was chosen out of 2 people. I know that my Father in Heaven watches out for us. :-)

As for me, I graduate in 6 weeks. I have severe senioritis. I told my professor I hit a wall and she laughed and said it was normal. I will have my BSN soon and I am thrilled. I know it is just a degree but I have seen this education bless my family, members of my ward, and those I meet. I know in my heart that this was the road I was supposed to take and I have grown as a person because of it. I work as a registered nurse doing wound care a half hour a day seven days a week. Its a pretty sweet job. The best part is I can come home and still be the mom I need to be for my children, you know the chef, chauffeur,teacher, nurse, nosepicker, diaper changer, lego builder, dietitian, clown, dental hygenist (when they wont brush their teeth)....and the list goes on for all the moms who know how this goes.

I know this is unlike me to post only words but truth be told, I appreciate all of you who have supported my little (getting kinda big) family. We are who we are today because of you. I will post pictures in a few day.
