Haille & CJ Come & Gone

On a side note CJ & Haillee were moved to another home on February 27 due to their crazy mother's accusations of abuse. CPS came in to investigate our home with in the first couple of days that we had the baby placed with us. They obviously found nothing to collaborate mom's story. She was crazy we had nursed her son through the worst case of chicken pox we had ever seen, clothed them, fed them, loved them and given them a safe and happy place to live. We are not willing to risk losing our kids because so mother who shows up to her visits high on who knows what saying that we are physically abusing her kids so we asked that they be moved asap! The sad thing is it is the children that suffer.




Here are pictures of Haille, CJ & Buster. Our home has been chaos this week but I think that everyone is adjusting and life will be a little calmer next week...I can hope right???

Scare!!!!

Hudson just gave us the scare of our lives! I went to lunch with my Mom and Grandma today. Jeff stayed home with Hudson, CJ and Hailee. When I left I locked the front deadbolt. We have a flip lock that is higher up the door but we have to lock that from the inside. Anyway Jeff was upstairs and Hudson moved his chair over to the door unlocked the deadbolt and went outside. When we pulled up from lunch Jeff was walking outside to look for him. We all started yelling for him. An ANGEL was driving down the street almost 2 block away and saw him without a parent. She got out of her car and started knocking on doors and called 911 just about the time Jeff saw her with Hudson! We are so relieved and scared to death!!!! It only takes a second. I bawled my eyes out it scared me so bad! Hudson knew he was in big trouble when we found him because he wouldn't look at us. When we got home we made him go to his room and sit on the bed. He has been in his room on his bed for about the last hour and not made a peep. I didn't even get the girls name that stopped. I am eternally grateful to her!

New Puppy and Kids

Just thought I would update everyone on the rest of our week. John, the guy that hit Jack, graciously bought a new puppy for the kids. We got a miniature Schnauzer and his name is Buster. He is a little doll. Although, just like a person, Jack can never be replaced, Buster has found a special place in our hearts and is helping the grieving and healing process. Hannah has him constantly and because he doesn't shed he has been sleeping with her also. He is really helping her through this. Heavenly Father has blessed us so much during this time for our family! He always knows our needs and our hearts!

We also have two new little ones. Hailee just turned 3 and her brother CJ just turned two. It sounds like they will be with us long term. We took all the kids to Costco on Friday and people kept asking us if Hudson, Hailee and CJ were triplets. They are all about the same size and all blondies. On Friday when I was getting CJ ready for bed I noticed some bug bites on his belly. This morning they had blisters on them...yep chicken pox. Poor little guy! He is miserable. He has about 30 new ones since this morning. Fortunately Hannah has already had them and Hudson has been vaccinated. We don't know if Hailee has had them so I don't know what to expect. Time will tell. We definitely have our hands full. Hannah has been so awesome with the kids and has been such a big help. Everyone seems to be adjusting fairly well.

Jeff and I are celebrating our 7th anniversary tomorrow. Actually we celebrated last night. My Mom & Dad babysat the kids so that we could go to dinner and a movie. What a treat!! We had such a wonderful evening! We went to The Cheesecake Factory sat at our table for about 2 hours and just enjoyed talking and spending some alone time together. Then we went and saw a movie. We didn't get home until 12:45am. I think we were out past curfew. He he! Thanks so much Mom & Dad!!
