Updates and TMI

It's update time again. 

Abby is doing well in school.  She received the Star Reader award last month.  Her last report card she had straight A's.  Abby is such a blessing to our family.  She rarely needs discipline and is helpful around the house especially with her brothers. 

Abby does have issues with her wardrobe.  She is kind of picky about what she wears.  She only wants skinny jeans.  Also, the other day I bought her a grey shirt with Mini Mouse on it and she said, "I don't wear grey." 

Carter is a special boy.  I have said it before, Heavenly Father sent me Carter to teach me patience.  Carter is a sweet, loving helpful boy.  Carter can also go from happy to rage in less that 3 seconds. 

Carter is having a hard time adjusting to his new primary class.  He wants to stay in his "small class." 

Carter has a new activity he likes to do with his cousin Jacob.  He likes to play a video game he calls Monkey Con (Donkey Kong) or as Jacob some times calls it, Honkey Donkey.  They could sit and play all day, typical boys. 

Grant is still a big sweet boy.  At his 18 month appointment he was just under 30 pound and 2 ft 10inches, (90% and 95%) but that was in January. 

As of Monday morning we are passy free.  We went to Powell's candy store and I let him pick out some candy to exchange for his bag of pacifiers.  He was fine all morning until nap time then he was mad.  He cried for an hour then I got him out of his crib and he fell asleep while I held him.  That night he cried for less than 15 minutes then fell asleep.  Today he cried for less than 10 minutes then napped so I will say we are done.

Dean is getting close to his weight loss goal and is lookin good.  I am so proud of him.  He is eating healthy food and plays basketball twice a week.  He seems really happy.

CAUTION DON'T READ PASS THIS UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH READING GROSS, REALLY REALLY GROSS DETAILS ABOUT ME.

Okay, so I have been having some issues lately.  At first I thought I was just lactose intolerant.  Things were getting worse and I finally went to the doctor.  After telling her about having run to the bathroom one morning three times within a 15 minute period she said she thought I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome. 

She ran some test, really gross test that involved going number two into something that resembled a plastic hat and scooping into vials for testing.

So, I don't have a genetic disease, a parasite, or anything else growing in me.  I am going for a follow up and I want to get some more info. 

For now I am avoiding dairy and also fried foods.  It is pretty sad to say goodbye to some of the foods I love.   

Well, I told you it was gross.  Anyway, my purpose in post is so that if I call you last minute and seem to be giving you a lame excuse of not feeling well, you know why.  I am not being flaky I am spending some quality time with my toilet.
