Happy 6th Birthday Kynzee

Kynzee Kate turned 6 on the 26th of April! Kynzee is a girly girl for sure but every now and then a different side of her comes out like her telling us she wants to be a tractor driver when she grows up. She has been telling us this for two years now! So for her birthday she wanted to have a tractor birthday party so that’s what we did and it turned out very cute. Kynzee is such a sweet, shy little girl. She very rarely says anything to anyone, just smiles at them. When she warms up to you she will talk, but most of the time very quiet. Kynzee is a big helper to me and to Kenna and Jaxon.  She will do whatever she is asked to do and never has to be told twice. Kynzee is a snuggly girl and every chance she gets she is snuggled up to someone. Kynzee’s favorite color is purple!! We sure love Kynzee and we are so happy that she is in our family. We are glad that we could have a fun birthday party for her 6th birthday, love you Kynzee Kate!

I am so blessed!

Tonight as I sit and type this the tears seam endless. I am typing this for myself really...for me to look back on one day and remember how blessed I am. I have always known that there is a Heavenly Father who is mindful of me and of my life and my trials. I know he watches out for me and loves me. But never have I felt it as strong as I feel it now. I think of all the times in my life I could have been given this thyroid cancer trial and never did it appear until now. Why is that? Why did I find it out now and from the weirdest symptoms? I know why...because Heavenly Father knows me so well and he knew that if I got handed it right now I would be able to handle it the best. First of all because I am not pregnant and it seems like I am a lot, second because I am not nursing a baby and it seems like I am doing that a lot as well, third because my body was already healthy and in good condition. Those three things are important to me and it would have been so much harder on me to have been in the middle of any of those things. Those three things have come to my mind quite often lately and I know it's because Heavenly Father wanted me to know that he was thinking of me and that right now really was the best time for this to happen. I am so blessed and so watched over. I cannot believe the family and friends who have so graciously helped me out. The sweet comments on facebook and my blog that some of you have left me have been so uplifting. I am amazed at the love that people have for me. I thank you all for giving to me and my family. I feel like I have had my plate very full the last few years and there are times when I wondered if I could handle it, I have handled it the best I knew how and I have been truly blessed by it. I have been so lucky to have my husband home taking care of the kids and the house for me and to have him actually say that he likes staying home with us and doesn't want to go back to work is a blessing. I have been so thankful to my parents and my sister for helping me with my kids, I have had to be gone alot for the surgery and doctor appointments and it has been hard on us all and I could not have done it without my family to help. Family is so important to me and I have the best family and extended family who do so much for me. There are days that they have just shown up to help when I needed it so bad. I am so blessed!!!

I went to the Doctor today and he gave me my pathology reports.......NO RADIATION!!!!!! I could not have been happier, I fought back the tears, I am so blessed.

I have had a lump on my incision and I have been worried about it because it hurts so bad, it is nothing to worry about, it is a broken vessel in my neck!!!

We will now just try to heal from the surgery and get the thyroid regulated and get my hormone levels back to somehwhat normal so I can function and feel good again. I thought this surgery would be so easy since I have been through 3 c-sections, well it has actually been just as hard just in other ways. I now have discovered that everything I do I use my neck muscles for...ouch!!! I hope to heal quickly!!

Blog books

O my gosh I am so excited about this!! I got to order three more blog books so now I am all caught up from 2008 to 2011!!! That makes four blog books and they are all a little over 200 pages long, that is some nice journaling if ya ask me and I love it!! I had so much fun choosing the color of the books and the picture I wanted on the front. I wanted the family picture that we had taken the year the book was and they all turned out so fun I love them. I have one year that has two books because I blogged so much that year. It is so fun to look back and read these book, and my kids love them. Now that I am caught up on my books I will be sure to order 2011 book right when 2011 is over so I will not get behind again!!! I finally got all caught up on my blogging that I have gotten behind on as well so I am feeling pretty good about that. I am going back down to Utah tomorrow to meet with the Doctor and decide what needs to happen next…..I hope nothing needs to happen next!!! I hope I am done and I will just have to regulate the thyroid and heal, wishful thinking right…well I will let you know tomorrow night when I get home!!

Easter Day…..

This is how our Easter pictures went………….Jaxon did not want to sit still……and we tried over and over……

I normally don’t show all the bad pictures I take but these are just too funny…Jaxon would not sit for anything….

 

We tried the grass and Jaxon didn’t like it on his legs…..he screamed!!!

So we finally pinned him in the middle of his sisters and we got an okay picture………They all looked a little rough because it was after a long three hours of church, but hey it’s a picture!! All I can say is I am glad I had their Easter pictures taken professionally and not by me!!

This is how he felt after I was done!!

Playing on the slide for the first time…he loved it!!

Jaxon and his Daddy..he sure loves him!!

Jaxon loved playing outside, he is going to have a fun summer I can already tell!!
