I went to his end of the year party and had such a wonderful time with Him and the school staff,

the theme was Hawaiian Luau, it was so good to see Leo interact, he really has came a long way.

we are still having issues with his tantrums, but I can see that school as done wonders for him.

I am excited to see what next year brings,Leos last day will be May 29th, where he will enjoy a short break before going back for Summer School.

I am adding some pictures of the Luau, Mr Torres and Mrs Love are the other people in the pictures with Leo...

I will be having a lump removed on the 31st, pretty sure its benign
but I just don't want it there....
I have had 2 other lumps removed and both turned out to be nothing but still
its scary any way.
wonder what the new year holds for me? I will be sure to cook blacked peas and greens
for dinner and not to wash clothes either on new years day...I am so superstitious...

My Oldest Dustun Born April 28TH

2008-07-13T12:30:00.000-07:00

This is Dustun My oldest son. I was very young when I gave birth to him.He was born at 2:19 am.He weighed 10 pounds 8 oz. I was very new at this Mom thing but I did a fairly good job i would like to say...
He had such a wild imagination, he loved telling stories and pretending to be Batman
he recieved this costume one year of batman, he wore that thing every day all day. he was quite
the ham at our house...
soon he started Kindergarten, he was kinda slow to learn things to begin with but once he caught on there was no stopping him...
Over the years he was the perfect dream child, never getting into trouble, In Junior high he decided to play the Sax and continued thu the 10th grade, when the school lost their band director, Dustun lost interest and decided to try out for Football, while he wasn't the star player he attended every practice and game and earned much respect from his team mates, I am lucky in the fact Dustun has never ever been a follower but a leader he sets his goals high, and come hell or high water he meets them...
HE IS a senior this year, where did the time go? He turned 18 this past April I took him to register to vote and and to sign up for the selective services...
He got his licenses when he was 16, but he and I and little Brother Leo was in a car accident
and since Dustun has a phobia of driving... I am hoping this will not last...
He has plans to attend college and become a Math teacher...
I am so proud of him and can not wait to see where life takes him as I know he will continue to acheive his dreams one after the other and I feel so honored to be on the side lines watching him prosper...

Michael ~AKA Mikey~Born Dec.28th

2008-07-14T05:29:00.000-07:00

Now for my 2nd Born Mikey, he was a challenge to bring into the world,he weighed 10 pounds and 11 oz. and graced the world with a broken collar bone. at the tender age of 3 he was pronounced to have autistic like tendencies, he was never officially labeled, he did not speak until he was 5, or any real communication.
He did like normal toys but found his play time invested in pine cones...lol yep pine cones, cheap toys uh? well at the same age 3 he also suffered a horrible asthma attack that landed him in the hospital for 5 days. He grew by the he was 7-8 he no longer cared for pine cones,pine cones were now replaced by Pokemon. AND now I see my self facing an almost grown man, out of all my children I worry for Michael the most, he is so naive and younger than his years,a mother can only hope her son will continue to stay away from harm...
Michael is in the 11Th grade this coming year, He weight lifts and squat 435 pounds. very strong legs, he attends R.O.T.C , HE IS A ROBUST EASY GOING GUY,he is very athletic and strong, but doesn't like to play official football in school, he would rather spend his time on the computer on my space or my year book.... he loves Harry Potter and wrestling... He is the typical teen, just trying to stretch his wings before he flies out of the nest.

Jared ~My third born~May 1,1994

2008-07-15T19:20:00.000-07:00

Meet My third born Jared Foy.. he is quite the outspoken one... He was born 2 weeks early and weighed in at 8 pounds 15 oz. Jared was a small fragile baby at 18 months old he developed a serve problem in his bowels, he almost died b/f we could get him to the hospital, he endured a
horrid surgery where his bowel was cut out and the remaining sections were sewed back together again... I was so scared he spent 5 days in ICU...
I babied him from that moment on spoiled him beyond belief. Ever since he was 7 he has yearned
to be a quarter back, he loves football and plays for his school I will add some blogs this fall about his football playing and games. He loves frogs he keeps them as pets he loves to fish and he loves to play sports as well.He is in the 8Th grade this year and he makes decent grades...
He is at the age where his hormones is taking control and we is a bit mouthy and loud,but I assume he is growing up?my Mom says I am getting what I gave as a teen... for sure he is growing up and he no longer wants to play with power rangers or stop and McDonald's for a Happy meal... he as new desires and things that are his favorites now, like girls,lol...
But when I look at Jared I see a strong willed person who can accomplish things that may come his way...

this is my fourth son Leo~Born On April 4th

2008-07-16T11:44:00.000-07:00

Now on to my fourth...as you can see by the age gap Leo came much later in life, let me elaborate if I may... In 2004 my husband Michael and myself decided to have children one problem my tubes were tied... we researched tubal reversals and decided to take the risk and boy did it pay off...lol I got pregnant with Leo July 2004 I was scared as complications can arise after a post TUBAL REVERSAL, I held my breath that all would be fine, I had a pretty easy pregnancy no huge complications Leo was born at 3:10 am on April 4,2005... I was elated with Joy... Leos seemed to develop normally, but at the age of 15 months we knew something was not right with our little boy, we took him to specialist and had him evaluated he received an MRI and it was finally determined he has autism.Leo's smile and laughter brings much comfort to us, when we receive affection from him its like getting a bag of gold, he can't us verbal words but he uses his hands,eyes and heart to speak to us and we hear him loud and clear... Leo loves to swing on his swing set or splash in his pool, or watch his favorite Disney Movie Cars On TV... He loves his dad
and the bond they share are so awesome... Leo attends a special school for the specially challenged. He is a rare jewel and I am so happy I am his Mommy.

Elijah~Born on Feb 16th

2008-07-18T05:44:00.000-07:00

Now time to meet Elijah, he was born on Feb.16TH.I had to have a C-section with him due to the fact he weighed 10 pounds 9 oz. and didn't seem to moving down any and b/c he wass quite big both the Dr. and I decided it was best.Elijah is or little comedian and boy he is he smart, it took him ablout a day or so to learn to walk he was walking at about 10 months old.

His favorite pass time is to play in the sand.He is very comical as he mimicks eveyone...his brother had to do push ups as a punishment, so Elijah mocked him and did his on kinda push ups. He just makes us all laugh.He is 17 months old he weighs 29 pounds and is 34 inches long, big guy,uh?

He was named after my grandfather whom I have never met. Elijah is so full of energy and spunk and doesn't like the word no but what toddler does right? Continue to watch my blog for more updates on Elijah.I am so amazed at just how smart he is, he truly makes my heart smile!

PREGNANCY ~AND BABY#6

2008-07-20T13:31:00.000-07:00

NOW TO ON TO THIS Pregnancy...

WE really weren't thinking we would get pregnant so soon, we talked about trying to concieve

and just took it lightly, MY husband Michael suffered a heart attack on Feb.2,2008(which I will talk more about at length in another session...)WE certainly didn't think that soon after his heart attack we would concieve a child, but we did, I found out last part of Feb. I was having my 6th child... I was esstatic...I do not know the gnder of the baby, hoping to find that out very soon, some really cool ladies from a message board I post at are responsible for this happening...

I have 5 boys and need a girl, but I will be tickled just to have another boy as well...

We have some names picked out already which I will share a bit later :)

We have decided that this will be our last child I am almost 36, just to old for this pregnancy stuff.... Bbay is Due on Nov. 4th, but I will be having a c-section so we aren't sure the exact

birth date as of yet...

Leo eats with a spoon!

2008-11-21T10:24:00.000-08:00

I haven't blogged in so long I need to write about my Leos New teacher, Mr. Torres, he truly is a blessing! He is helping Leo in great ways, like for instance, Leo would never ever use a spoon to eat with he would simply throw it to the floor and use his hands or have a tantrum, but now as you see in the picture he is using his spoon and this is b/c Mr. Torres has reached Leo like no one else has been able to do, I am so ecstatic and can't wait to see more of the improvements and accomplishments to come.... Leo is even interacting with his peers....
also he no longer is on risperdal. I am so excited for Leo and can't wait till he calls me Mommy!!!!
