http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=13168522

Took a mini break from blogging while we moved, Kevin has made a total job change from law enforcement to aircraft mechanic. We were able to find a home to rent for a year until we decided where we would like to live in the area. Moving was hectic and I am still trying to unpack but making progress day by day.

Dillon is close to walking and taking his first steps, he had his gastroentrologist appt three weeks age and the dr said the next step would be to scope him while under anesthetia which all agree is a last resort. Its looking as if all his problems are a mix of acid reflux and allergies.

*Nine month appt was yesterday and D is wieghing in at 18lbs and 7oz and 28inches long. His new dr presribed allegra for his allergies

The art of biscuitmaking

Yesterday I woke up wanting biscuits so I decided to make some, my biscuits always taste good but usually are not that round well I have to share a picture because they were almost perfect!!

Here is my recipe, but not matter how many times you make em they always turn out different so do not hold me to this recipe ;)

2cups self rising flour

3 to 4 tbsp of crisco shortening

1 cup milk

In a mixing bowl combone flour and cut in crisco until it is mixed well then add milk if it looks to wet sprinkle in a little more flour. Knead onto floured surface and knead then roll with rolling pin use a biscuit cutter to cut and then place biscuits on greased pan bake at 425 until they start brown on top.n

My little tag along

Dillon went from crawling one day to pulling up on everything, he absolutely loves crawling around naked in his crib after baths and gets so proud when he pulls himself up on the rail of the crib. He starts making funny noises as if to gloat of his new achievement. It so neat to watch his personality shine through more and more each day. Hard to beleive eight months is creeping up so quickly. We recieved good news and will likely be busy in the coming weeks but I will try to keep up with the blog.

How can you help Chase

I sent out request to alot of you on facebook to help support a cause for ALD which is a life threatening illness. My cousin Michelle shared this link which is near and dear to her heart because her bother suffers from this heartwrenching disease. Chases brother passed away a few years ago in a tragic wreck so this family has gone through many trials. I am hoping to raise awareness and support for Chase and other familes who have come face to face with this illness.

You can join and support his cause on facebook, go to facebook and then go to causes search for Chases' ALD Adrenoleukodystrophy story. I am sure any support thoughts,prayers, and financing will be appreciated.

The best title yet 2010 to 2011

2010 or twenty ten however you say it is coming to close. Throughout my years I have held many titles,

*student

*friend

*daughter

*wife

But the one I have wanted since I was running around caring for my babydolls is MOMMY. After years of dreaming motherhood become a reality and I am not gonna lie it is harder than all you other mommies make it look. Although it may be hard it is oh so worth it. It has brought so much understanding about true unconditional love and made me grateful to the people in my life who had a hand in making me who I am today. So thank you Kevin for chosing me to be your wife and the mother of Dillon our wonderful son who entered our life May 21,2010. I am excited to see where the next year takes us.
