2 week Diaversary Surprise.

-
Alana had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes for two weeks and I could see that spirits were still down.  So I decided to throw the girls a 2 week Diaversaery party surprise.  It was hard to keep the secret I must admit.  I called Miss Jen to see if she'd like to join us and she was excited to be a part of it.  

The day of the surprise, the girls went to school knowing something was up.  When they came home, their "fancy" clothes were laid out waiting for them. They got dressed and I did their hair and make up in prep for our Ladies night out. 

We went to pick up Miss Jen and headed on the road.

on our way we made a pit stop for dinner in down town Houston at Taco Cabana. Yummy!

 Alana is smirking because she was guessing where we were going the whole time.  Jen and I had a great time teasing them.

From there we headed to Relient Stadium.  The first thing the girls said was... "Aweee man... Not the rodeo again."  We got out of the car and the first thing the girls see is lots of little girls dressed up in their best princess cloths.  I thought that would be a dead give away.

We got up to the ticket counter to pick up our tickets and here's Alana reading the tickets...



(Isn't that classic?  I'm so glad we decided to record it.)

Milly was munching on candy.  Kind of a funny face.



I think Jen was just as excited as the girls because she haden't ever ben to Disney on Ice either.

 Ariana screaming for Belle. You think she likes her?

Reaction to the show.
After the show we filed out with about a bazillion other people.  The girls were tiered from a long day of school and excitement.  We bought several Disney gifts including the rubber frying pan from Tangled.  It was well worth the money. Jen and I carried the three girls till our legs about fell off.  


All in all I think our "Diaversary party" was a success.

It looks like the girls had a blast. I wish I lived closer so that I could go visit my baby girls. maybe after I move off base and know if the Air Force will let me stay in I can save up for some plane tickets and fly out there to surprise the girls. I think it would be really cool and they would love that.

Friday, March 23, 2012   I received a phone call from my oldest daughter Alana's Kindergarten teacher. Mrs Munos was concerned that Alana wasn't acting her bubbly self.  I had noticed that she seemed to have been sleeping a lot and wrote it off to the time change and just getting back from spring break. But now I had a little flag from her teacher.  I began to wonder if there was something wrong with her.  My first thought was depression.  So I sent her out on a Daddy Daughter date with my husband to see if it would boost her spirits. No such luck.  I've never heard of a child being so glum at the Kemah Boardwalk. But in fact, she hardly cracked a smile. Over the weekend Alana seemed to get worse.  She slept for a good part of church on my lap and I really began to worry.  Alana was eating like a teenage boy, drinking a ton of water and using the restroom several times an hour.  My husband, Chris, even thought she might have mono. ...

We D-Mommas are always looking for low carb options for our kids.  While at Kroger yesterday, I felt compelled to check the carb counts on Little Hug Fruit Barrels.   I was very surprised to find that one Hug was only 2 grams of carbs and twenty count box is only $3! I was so excited that I bought two boxes.   When it came time to pick the girls up from school, the excitement was still flowing through my veins.  So I packed a few in my purse to give the girls in the car on the way home.   Results of the taste test were awesome.  Alana loves them.  Not to mention that they made her feel more like a normal kids.  Normal is great in my book.   I'm trilled that I no longer have to by different drinks for all the girls.  The price, taste and nutritional facts make Hugs a winner in our home.

All in the Family?

 This is one of the saddest posts I've had to write in some time... Two weeks ago I got a phone call from my brother in law, Brad.  He started the conversation with a little laugh and "I think your Alana has rubbed off on Reed" I was perplexed.  Oh no.  What did Alana do now?   "It looks like Reed is a type 1 diabetic too" I was floored.  I had just gone to Alana's school to give a talk on T1D, now we have another child in my husband's family who is insulin dependent. (My pancreas prop) Reed and Alana were born a year and two days apart. Reed had to go to the hospital in DKA on his tenth birthday.  It's the worst birthday present EVER!!! I felt hopeless and all I wanted to drop everything and fly out to Utah to help out.  But Alana was turning nine the next day and there was just no way I could make it happen.  So we scheduled to skype that night. While laying in his hospital bed, we talked to him, c...
