Jayden is going to Primary!!

Yay!! Jayden starts primary on Sunday! No more nursery....I'm not too sure how he will handle the change but I think he will be ok. change doesn't really bother him at all. He just jumps in and adapts to almost anything. He does have a problem will listening and following rules. He definitely likes to do what he wants. He is so lovable and almost always recognizes his wrong....so he is just a little defiant. Ugh...he's my challenge.....to say the least!! Non the less I'm super excited for this next chapter. A lot of the kids we have play dates with will also be going into primary and making that same transition as Jayden. Its so exciting!!

Tomorrow his Teacher- Sister Hill will be visiting our home to get to know him a little better....Now, this makes me more nervous than actually sending him to class. When Jayden is in his "element" or "his home" he tends to act out. I just hope he is calm and she can meet Jayden's genuine self....not the actor or the flamboyant Jayden but, the lovable, outgoing Jayden.

Crossing my Fingers!!!

Christmas {2011}

I actually had a FANTASTIC Christmas this year! It had started out kinda "whatever" and I once again wasn't looking forward to it! I was very pleased to have enjoyed it so much! My kids got so many things and enjoyed it as well! Jayden and Janae enjoyed it the most. Jackson and Jersey still had no idea.

We went for Christmas Eve at my Aunt and Uncles house. Where we had Tamales, Prime Rib and all the fixing! It was an awesome time!!
Christmas Day was spent at our house. and I made Breakfast sandwiches in the morning. and we spent dinner with family. I made a Roast, mashed potatoes, corn, and my sis in law brought sides and dessert.

It was soooo cute! My sis in law brought a gingerbread house for her and the kids to do...since Janae wasn't here it was basically just her and Jayden. it came out so cute!!



Merry Christmas to all!
xoxo! Denise!!!!!

A trying week...

This week has been a really trying week for me. My entire family got the stomach flu. It really kicked our butts!!! We were all down for about a week. But the worst is..... My little sister Lisa and I got into a fight. She hit me. Yes, hit me. I don't know what she was thinking. I did not hit her back...she is out of her mind. She is a homeless drug addict who has lost custody of her 2 kids.  My sister doesn't want to change her ways and thinks she has done nothing wrong. WOW!! It's crazy and I don't understand it at all!! It is what it is and when she wants to change I will be here.

I try not to let her bother me or get to me but, I am the monitor for her and her kids. Its hard to work with her. I have decided to not be the monitor and distance myself from her...like; give her money, rides, let her stay here. She is totally out of control and after the scene she made at my house in front of my kids I have made this decision in favor of MY family.

One day I hope to write an amazing story about her......one day.

It's been almost a month....

Well,  it's been almost a month since my last blog. I'm not so used to this. I have never chronicled my life or things I do.  But, I'm trying. So where do I start.

Jackson- He had his surgery and everything went great! He isn't talking yet but, he does seem happier to have the full use of his tongue. He's only 1 so I'm sure the talking will come. He is such a happy guy!!!

Jayden- Oh Jayden...where do I start with him? He really likes to test me. Bu6t, this kid has so much energy and is full of life....He really can make me angry at times though. I love him the same...for all he is!

Janae- My sunshine...my oldest...and my rock! She is still home schooled and still no answers as to why. I am hopeful that my daughter will live a pain free life..one day. In the meantime we pray and our faith is strong. Her faith is strong. I love her full of life attitude. She is respectful and helps out any way she can. We love her!

Jersey- My baby.....My precious lil one is amazing. Never really cries or is fussy. She is ALWAYS happy!

Me and the hubby are doing great! We try to have a date night at least once a week. I love how we go out and want to rush right home to our kids...funny but very true!!

I guess everything is O K in the Sutton home! LOL! Nothing to really complain about. I have ups and downs like everyone I guess.... but, am grateful and thankful for the life I have.

Have a great night!
xoxo! Denise

Phew...crazy week!

Wow! Has this week been crazy and super draining! My daughter who has some sort of Crohns or bowel disease is medically homeschooled so I'm busy with dr appts. Well, Monday we saw a new GI Doc and I don't really like him. But, at this point I don't like any of them.
Well, I guess it's only fair to give some history. 2008 my daughter started having abdominal pain....after countless er visits the drs found nothing. Had a nuclear imaging of her gallbladder done and they found that it was only working at 20%...they had to remove it. June 2009 (yes it took that long to find) they removed it. We thought it was over...oh no! It just began. Since then my daughter has been admitted to 3 different hospitals in the OC area. 2 exploitory surgeries and seen countless drs. They still have no answers. And not to be graphic...her episodes are awful and very painful. This is why I don't trust drs. So, it was finally decided that she be placed in a home school program for kids with serious medical illnesses. Wow, this is serious. I cried, she cried more!

So this week has been busy. Not only with her but my 1yr old had surgery on wed. He WAS tongue tied. It was awful leading up to the day but I must say I was rather calm and I didn't cry once! He cried enough for us all! With all that going on we are all sick! Me, my daughters 15 & 5mo, and my sons 3 & 1. I hope next week will be less stressed and thanksgiving will run smooth...since I'm cooking...ha ha ha! But, with all this madness I'm still thankful for my life! It sure is crazy! I pray and my faith is strong. Things get better...I BELIEVE that!
On a happier note! Jersey is 5mo old! Yesterday!

I'm here..I'm new, so be nice ;)

HIIIII! I'm here and I'm officially a blogger!! YES! I have so much to share! From saving money to spiritual relationships with God. I love reading blogs and getting so many great tips and ideas. I really admire other mothers and what they have to say. I love to make homemade crafts and save money anywhere I can.

I have 4kids. 15, 3, 1 and 3mo. Wow! I have my hands full. But, I love, love being a mom! God has truly blessed me with faith as a Mormon, a wonderful and patient husband, great kids who keep me busy and great friends that I cherish! I feel I have a pretty good life. I just can't imagine my life without the planes, trains and mommy brain!! Enjoy!

Denise xoxo!
