is this real life...

Hello,

Months have passed and i still have yet to get with it on here. ehh Life is literally passing me by and i have soooo much to tell...

So we've introduced Boy #4 to our family Leeland Ezra who is almost 6 months now.

Yes i am a #Momofboys! but i love it, never a dull moment in our house. Leeland is hitting all those baby milestones. growing so fast and fitting right in with his big brothers. Speaking of big brothers Lucas is 5 now starting school in the fall, Liam is 4 now and the funniest kid i know. Levi is 2 and quite the instigator.. YESS! My hands are full, we have everything from Action heroes to Curious George in our house. Sometimes in the quiet moments, which is very rare. i think back when we first brought Lucas home,we really did think that was overwhelming. haha.. 5 years later, lets just say sleep is so overrated!

The Studs..

Aside from Mom life, I've been able to get busy taking photos again, and i LOVE it.. i spent the last year off because my pregnancy with Leeland was so hard on my body, and with Jose's work schedule it was nearly impossible. so i spent the last year just building up the collection of photo equipment i needed.

BTW its an expensive hobby!

Also, i just bought a silhouette cameo Machine, so i have been learning how to cut Vinyl. which seems like it should be an easy thing buuuut its very time consuming and addictive.. having that machine HA the possibilities are endless.. i feel the need to Monogram everything! i actually just placed an order of heat vinyl SO, i will be able to start making the boys some pretty sweets shirts! pretty excited about that!

Anyway, a little update for now.

Leeland ❤️

Wow, where do I begin.... We have been going 100 miles an hour it seems, life has really just been flying by. And it seems like every time I think about writing, something else happens. I don’t know about everyone else, but being a Mom is exhausting lol. Whew!! Let’s start back in December, day after Christmas. Leeland had a scheduled hearing test, and it was determined he was unable to hear at a normal level. Right after that appointment (same day) he saw the ENT who determined leelands hearing issue was due to retained fluid in both ears. No infection, which meant he would need to get tubes placed to constantly drain both ears. Leeland has a speech delay which has also been a side effect of the fluid build up in both ears. So we set a surgery date in January for tubes and then a month after a retest for hearing. January 15th came and Leeland did awesome in surgery. Almost immediately after...

As some of you may know, Leeland was diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Nuerofibromatosis (NF1) at 6 months. At the time he presented with 1 side effect (at 6 months) he is now 3 and between the time when he was first diagnosed and now he has shown 6 new signs of NF1. Here’s a little info on Nuerofibromatosis. Nuerofibromatosis is caused by genetic defects that either are passed on by a parent or occur spontaneously at conception. The specific genes involved depends on the type of nuerofibromatosis. In this case neither my husband nor I carry the gene. And Leeland has NF1 NF1 gene is located on Chromosome 17 this gene produces a protein called nuerofibromin, that helps regulate cell growth. The mutated gene causes a loss of nuerofibromin, which allows cells to grow uncontrolled. What is NF1? It’s a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerve tissue. —Brain —Spine —Nerves Tumors are usually benign, but can sometimes become ...

As i sit here staring at my screen, while James Arthur plays in the back. all i think about it my bed, why in the world am i even doing this right now, i'm so damn exhausted. But all 5 of my children are sleeping so peacefully and i may never get a chance to type this before the month is over. You see how well i am keeping up with this huh? Where to begin hmm. Lets start with this, Ezra our 2 year old broke his femur over the summer, 6 long weeks in a Spica cast was a really stressful time. the first few weeks after breaking his leg i literally slept like 12 hours IN TWO WEEKS. why am i not dead right now?!?!haha, no seriously. As tomorrow's tasks begin, the months days come to a screeching halt. It is almost fall ladies and gents, and who doesn't love the hell out of Pumpkin flavored everything.. So long August, you were a hell of a bitch to get through ..
