So much to catch up on!!!

I have not blogged since February. There has been so much happening, and no time to blog.

Taking it back to March...We were in the middle of trying to purchase our first home and due to a horrible realtor and it being a forclosure with too many liens on the house we decided to pull out and rent in the same West Plano area we are in right now. So, we found an house a mile away from Randy's work and moved all in one week. I had two days to pack our apartment and all the while Taylor had a stomach bug at the same time. Needless to say, it was a stressful week, but we were so excited about staying in the same area, moving Reaganne out of Daffron into Hightower, keeping Taylor in Beaty to finish the year, and give James the same opportunity to go to Beaty. This move was such a blessing and we are so HAPPY here. When we moved in, we were so used to 1100 square feet and being on top of eachother. The space was great and the kids had screaming parties every day 'just because' they could and not get in trouble for being too loud. This house is definitely a money maker for the landlord, but we are making it 'HOME' everyday, but personalizing it as best we can to make it ours. The best thing about making this move, was Reaganne got her own room. She now has her 'girly' space. The boys are sharing and loving it. Randy and I have a huge room, enough for our bed, two desk and sitting area. It is huge.


Reaganne is doing great in her new school. This was such a blessing move, she had a SWEET, CARING and ATTENTIVE teacher. She calls me atleast once a week if not twice to talk about Reaganne and her progress or worries. Reaganne had a horrible Kindergarten teacher that did not teach those kids the fundamentals that they needed to know. I feel so bad for not catching it in the middle of the year and could have done something. However, we moved because we knew we needed a better school system. Well we moved in to the WRONG school zone in Plano ISD. Reaganne got a HORRIBLE TEACHER and the Principal was even worse. NO one cared about her or me and our concerns. They basically shoved everything I brought to them under the rug. I was constantly trying to talk to them and they did not care. We then made the decision to move again. We wanted to purchase, but decided that was not in our best interest right now. Well, all I can say, is Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us, and he knew this is where we need to be. Reaganne has had a chance to make friends, get the focus and attention she needs to help catch her up. Her teacher is amazing. Reaganne and I are working hard at home as well to get her where she needs to be to be ready for 2nd grade. She really is reading well, but has a scared apprehensive feeling when trying. Her self confidence has been broken down and we are slowly building it up. She is really more happy here and loves the school, which helps. It just melted my heart when she ran out that first day of her 'new' school...this is what she looked like...
She had friends rolling down their windows and yelling,"Bye Reaganne!" as we walked home. It was such a difference than Daffron. I love my baby girl so much, and it kills me to see her suffering trying to fit in at the age of 6. This new school she had no problems. Then this past week, they were having Spirit week. Crazy Hair day was Tues and as I was doing her hair (we had planned the look the day before) she is having an emotional meltdown. I could not understand why. Then she said, "Isaac is going to laugh at me, I don't want to go to school!" I am thinking who the heck is Isaac, and why have I not heard of this before. So, she tells me he sits next to her and makes fun of her clothes. WHAT?!!?! I was devastated and pissed. I then stopped doing her hair and knelt down in front of her and told her she was a beautiful, smart, sweet and loving little girl. I told her to ignore Isaac, because people like that make others hurt to make themselves feel better. If there was anytime that he was hurting her feelings to tell me or tell her teacher and we would take care of it. Then of course, I lightened the mood with, "Do you want Mommy to go beat him up?" She laughed. But, of course in the back of my mind I was ready to go find this little bully. Anyway, I finished Rea's hair and as we arrived to the school, she saw all the Safety Patrol kids and their 'crazy' hair and she smiled and looked at peace. I raced home and called her teacher and told her of her emotional breakdown and of this kid Isaac. So, she assured me she would take care of it and let me know what happens. I LOVE her teacher. I worried ALL DAY about her. Then I went to pick her up and she RUNS OUT to me and ask, "Mom did you call Ms. Timberlake about Isaac." I said, "Yes, was that okay?" She said, "Yea, she moved him and talked to him about what he was saying and doing to me and he wrote me a note apologizing and he said, I am sorry all day to me." My heart was full and she was happy again. She knew that her Mommy will always have her back and help her in anyway possible, and that it was OKAY to tell someone. Her teacher was awesome in taking care of it. This is the letter Isaac wrote her..."From Isaac-To Reaganne-I hope you have a great day. I am sorry for being mean. I hope you have a super happy day."

Reaganne will be attending Summer School for the month of June and I feel very blessed she will have this opportunity. It will help her in preparing her reading skills and fluency skills.
Taylor is doing great in school and happy. He is registered for Kindergarten! AAHHH I can't believe it. So happy they are both going to Hightower though! Taylor loves his teacher, Miss Referente (I love her too) at Beaty. For teacher appreciation day we picked flowers for her and he wanted LONG RED ROSES for her...awwww! He was so proud as he gave them too her and passed out the chocolate covered graham crackers to his other three teachers too. Those ladies are awesome and love Taylor so much!I was able to attend a mother's day tea that his teacher put together for the moms.


Pajama day at school

James is doing so well with his Asthma. No hospital stays this year! When he does get sick, I have the tools to get him better fast! I am excited for his opportunity to be evaluated by the Speech Team at Beaty this coming August. I hope that he will get accepted and be able to work on his vocabulary list and talking in general. He is very smart and understands, but he just doesn't choose to speak. He has is own language that I understand, but hard for others. He is getting so big and growing up so fast though. He is not my BABY anymore he is a little trouble maker though. lol He has the best facial expressions and loves to cuddle and hang out with his big brother and sister. I love that when Reaganne is gone he calls all his stuffed animals Rah Rah (which is Reaganne) He loves his Reaganne!!! She is much nicer than Tay is to him. haha
