Happy 6th Birthday!

On this day 6 years ago you were born. Only after what seemed like a long 37 weeks. You tried to come early two days in a row but I was able to keep you in for 5 more weeks. After all day of being in labor and 3 hours of pushing we welcomed you into this world. You were so perfect, well except for your extremely cone-shaped head. You tried to stop breathing on us shortly after you were born but with a little extra help you showed us you were a fighter! You have kept us all busy since the day you were born. If only we knew what you were always thinking and feeling! You have come so far in these short 6 years. You have overcome so many hurdles that were placed in front of you. You are learning more than they ever said you would. You are so friendly and outgoing, the opposite of what they say a child with Aspergers should be. I love you with all my heart, even on the days when you are stubborn and naughty. I hope that you continue to grow and do well. You are an amazing boy my lil Jayder Ayder and I love you! Happy 6th Birthday!

About to be put on the NAUGHTY list!

I need to do some serious venting! Jayden is about to send me to the nut house, and I am not joking! He has been having some awful behaviors and appears to be regressing! We tried switching his meds to see if that would help but it hasnt! His teachers say that he is teasing the kids at school, hitting, screaming for attention and has returned to biting on his clothes which I thought we had gotten rid of! At home he is peeing in his pants almost on a daily basis because he is too buisy to go to the bathroom. He is yelling at me, talking back, and throwing a fit when I try to make him clean up his messes! He keeps spilling water all over the place. A few weeks ago when we were decoarting gingerbread houses he had gotten some mini m&m containers and filled them with candy, water, and dirt. Then he spilled one in my moms living room. After cleaning the mess up I threw all of comtainers away, or so I thought. We got home and he asked me to carry a toy in for him. I picked it up and as I got out of the car the dang thing opened up and sand and water flew all over my dashboard! I had just cleaned my car 2 days before and I was not happy. He keeps putting water in all kinds of containers and spills it all over when I am not looking! I dont know what to do anymore. I am sick and tired of dealing with this. At this point I am not sure we will survive Christmas, and especially Christmas break!

Temple Square

Last night my friend invited us to go up to Temple Square and see the lights. We rode trax and got off a station too soon and had to walk a little ways. We saw a homeless person sitting in a door way. It was around 15 degrees outside! It broke my heart but made me extremily thankful for all that I have. We were able to get warm in the Joseoh Smith Memorial Building before walking around to look at the lights. The building looked beautiful and the temple and lights were AMAZING!!! It was so cold I thought my face was going to freeze and fall off! It was obvious it was mutual night because the place was littered with annoying teenagers!!!!! All in all it was a fun little trip!


Yes that is a penny in his mouth, I didnt even realise it last night!

Santa

As busy as Santa is he was able to make an appearance at our Brooks(dads side) Family Christmas Party. He handed out bags of candy and oranges to all the kids.

Gingerbread houses

Last Saturday after our Brooks family Christmas party we all got together and decorated Gingerbread houses at my mom and dads. It was so fun. We hadnt decorated them since we were little. Kaylee and Jayden had a little to much candy and it showed! Jayden decorated a house but he later destroyed before I could get a picture. I wish I could have gotten a picture of us decorating them but my batteries went dead and my moms camera wouldnt work,thats ok we can at least show the finished houses!
