Last Day of School

Ryan's last day of school this year was on the 26th of May. They had a nice party who are we kidding they had a party almost everyday last week. That kind of threw Ryan off because the routine wasn't the same but he did pretty good. I really wish that his teacher could just fallow him to 1st grade but I know that she can't. Mrs. Kupfer was the best teacher ever and Ryan gave her a run for her money sometimes. She really did everything that she could to help him to grow and understand things. She has hand picked his teacher for next year so that hopefully they will work well together. I hope that she is still around when Cameron is in kindergarten. Ryan will be doing swimming lessons again this year with her and I am praying that they go better this year cuz last year wasn't the greatest. I wasn't going to do swimming with him but they talked about it and he said that he wants to so for the month of June we will still get to see Mrs. Kupfer so we are still happy.

For the end of the year gift Mrs. Kupfer put together pictures of Ryan and some of the fun things they did at school along with the poems that they memorized so I will try to scan some of those pictures in the next few days after I get some stuff moved.

Thank you Mrs. Kupfer and Mrs. H for all the hard work that you did this year and making this year so successful for Ryan. I really have become great friends with Mrs. Kupfer I loved going in a few days a week to help her out with things in the classroom and coming to the party's and field trip.

Dino Muesum Field Trip

I was able to go and help out on the Kindergarten field trip to the Southwest Museum or as the kids know it the dinosaur museum. Ryan was really excited because we got to go on a big school bus. He hasn't been on a bus in a year and when he did ride the bus to school it was the little bus so he was SUPER excited that he got to ride on the BIG bus.

Mom and Ryan ready to hit the road. He doesn't look excited at all does he

Waiting with my group for the waterfall. I was going to have a partner and another kid Ryan's friend Trevor however he threw up on the bus so it was just the 4 of us for a while until the nurse brought over another outfit for the poor kid. They did catch up to us towards the end though.

We got to touch and learn about dino teeth. Ryan was excited to hold a T-Rex tooth he has been into Dino Dan lately on NOGGIN so he knew what she was talking about.

How big is your foot?

In a hut

I really didn't think that Ryan would go for this but he went in the jail and even let me get a picture. He wouldn't let me close the door but hey I was happy with what I got. We didn't go for the gold cuz it was sooooo crowded cuz I think there was a couple of other school there at the same time.

Yep that is Ryan on TV. They have a green screen set up and all the kids love this.

My little scientist

Looking at x-rays he thought that was pretty cool

It was a fun day at the museum. Afterwards we went Pioneer park for lunch however we found out that they had irrigated so that wasn't an option so we headed to a park close to the school. The kids had a lot of fun but it was really hot but I guess the most important thing is that the kids had fun.

Ryan's 6th Birthday Party

For Ryan's birthday he decided that he wanted to have a big party. He wanted a Peter Piper Pizza party but he wanted to invite a ton of friends as well. So we told him that he could have a pizza party but he would only be able to have a few friends and no presents from us, or we could do a party at the park and he could have as many friends as he wanted so he went for the park and a lot more friends. He invited about six kids from school. He wanted like all 27 kids from his class but I told him not that many. So three kids from his class showed up Aubry, Rachel, and Trevor, Hollie and her grand kids and not to mention his cousins and Andrew plus his aunts and uncles. We had a ton of pizza and Ryan made out like a bandit with the gifts. Ryan was so excited to get his new Wii game Sports Resort that he hasn't stopped playing yet.

Ryan was having a lot of fun showing off how he learned to swing all by himself

Ryan is a little obsessed with traffic signs. He decided this year that he wanted a stop sign cake so I googled it to see if anyone else had done one and came up with this. Ryan and Gma found the car candles and we used a couple of his wood signs and added it to his cake. I have to admit it is the best cake ever. He wanted chocolate so of course that is what Gma made him.

Ryan got all of his candles out on the first try.

Ryan got a lot of fun stuff for his birthday he has some great friends to come to the park in May when it is hot. We really made sure that we got out of the heat before 1:00 but don't get me wrong it was still hot outside.

More and more good stuff

My Baby turned 6

Happy Birthday to my 1st born. My RyRy I can't believe that you are six years old already. You have taught me soooo much in your six years of life. You have come so far in your little life. You have really come a long way with your autism I am so proud of you. You still have your issues with being in front of people and having a hard time focusing. We are still working on it. You know so much that I don't know. You know how many canals we have to go over to get anywhere. You know all of your traffic signs and how to get anywhere on any freeway. You have such a cute personality you are starting to get a long better with your brother and you keep begging for a baby girl. You can be such a good helper when you want to. You remind me so much of your Uncle Ryan you do some of the same things and I know you would have loved your Uncle. Thank you for letting me be your mom. Happy Birthday baby boy.

Camping

Baine had a day off of school for teacher in service so that worked out good to do a camping trip.

We had one planned for two weeks earlier but it was so windy and cold that we postponed it till it was nicer. We got a tent for Christmas that we haven't used yet. I like the heat that comes with sleeping in the trailer. I said that we would try it. The boys had there own air mattress and then we had our queen one. We set up the DVD player in between the boys so they could watch the movies. Everyone was happy till it started to get colder. It was a nicer weekend to go camping but still got down to the 30's that night. Cameron got soooooo cold he ended up in our bed then by morning Ry was freezing as well so we had all four of us on our queen air mattress ya that was fun. Ryan decided that he was going to sleep in the trailer the next night so he can be warm and I was okay with that.

Ryan has had a fishing pole since his first time we went camping. It came with a little plastic fish attached to the end of it so it looks like they caught a fish. He has been fine with that and throwing rocks until now. Blaine threw his line in and caught a fish on his 1st cast. Ryan thought that was so cool and that he wanted to catch a fish as well. I told him that he already had a fish on his pole. He said no he wanted a real one. Great time to get out the weapons. He was getting a real hook on the end of pole. We told him that he had to be very very careful because it is very sharp and can really hurt someone.

We got everyone out of the way and he did his first cast all on his own. At first we thought he got it stuck on a rock but as he kept trying to get it in we saw that he had a fish on the end of it. That kid got a fish on his first try. He thought that was the coolest thing ever and he was hooked.

Ryan thought that he was pretty hot stuff and he was a fishing fool. He started catching them right and left and was super excited.

Cameron kept himself plenty busy with throwing rocks into the water. He loved it and the nice thing was that he didn't fall in like his brother did at his age. However it made fishing next to him not very fun cuz he has a great arm so the fish didn't want to come around. The only good thing is that no one on this trip was skunked and that hasn't happened in a while.

Ryan just kept pulling in more and more fish. Blaine would cast his out and then Ry would get another one on so Blaine would have to hurry and pull his line in so that he could help Ryan with his fish. Ryan caught the most on this trip with a total of 15 fish.

This picture has a little story behind it. Blaine got a picture of Ryan when he was about the same age as Cameron while we where fishing at this same lake. This was at Bog Tank around this same time of day we wanted to get as close as we could to the same picture. Now I have to find it and then we can do a comparison picture.

Taken May 14th 2011

Funny thing is this is the same rock. This was taken Aug 18th 2007. Looking at these two pictures of my two boys at the same age really make me realize how huge Cameron is.

My two cute boys on the little bridge at Bog Tank

I wanted to try and get a picture of Blaine and I but as you can see it didn't turn out that great.

A nice dirty picture of Cameron and mommy

Ryan is being such a good big brother and explaining to Cameron about the fire and how to throw things into the fire. What a good big brother and yes both of my boys take after both of there parents and are piros.

Good News

Yesterday I had my ultrasound. The lady that did it was really nice and said the Doctor has to tell you for sure after he has read it but I didn't see anything to worry about. So no Tumor is great news. So that means the 1st part of March I will start taking the progesterone to try and get my hormones back the way they are suppose to be. I still have to go get a blood test in a week but that isn't a big deal. I hope this will make me normal again within the next couple of months.

Just more questions

I FINALLY went to the gynecologist everyone's favorite place to go. So we went through the fact that some months I have my friend come to visit and sometimes my friend is here for 30 plus days. Well he said that I am messed up. Thanks that makes me feel great. When I was on birth control I would come off like you are suppose to have my period and then would go back on birth control it would end and everything would be fine. Since I have been off of it for a year nothing has been normal. He told me that he doesn't think that I am ovulating he also thinks that the birth control was hiding another problem. He is sending my for an ultrasound because he felt a mass and he wants to rule out a tumor. He is sending me for a bunch of blood work but when it all comes down to it he thinks I have Polycysitic Ovarian Syndrome. He said that as long as the ultrasound comes back okay that he is going to start me on progesterone to try and kick start my hormones back into shape. We will see what that does. I did have a little bit of a freak out this morning since we don't know if the mass is a tumor or not I will feel better after Tuesday. I am trying to stay positive but it is hard sometimes. I guess the good thing is that we are in he process of trying to get things fixed. So that is what we know right now a lot of NOTHING.


So since I have posted this I have done some online reading and talking with my Gma. I am pretty sure that I have PCOS. It isn't uncommon for people to find out later especially when I have been on birth control for so long. The birth control has been hiding it. I was put on BC at 15 to help with cysts. I have been lucky to have the three pregnancies that I have had. I know people who have super bad cases of it and I have friends who have had kids while having PCOS. Found out some things that I need to change one being loose some weight and eat better. I feel a lot better after reading and knowing that is what I have. It describes everything that I am going though all of the symptoms match and everything that the Dr is doing will prove it.
