Bye Bye Bink bee

2009-09-02T09:43:00.000-07:00

We have wanted to get rid of Mia's Binky for awhile, but she just loves it so much we new it was going to be a challenge! so I read this book called bye bye Binky and did his technique, within 2 days she threw it in the garbage! I was shocked it was that easy, but then later that day the crying started! so I decided to cave and we went on a search for Bink bee, (which is what she calls it by the way!) any how we ran across this little dog that she got for Christmas, and she was so excited that Binky was the last thing on her mind! so I asked her what we should name her puppy and she said dog, so I said how about Bink bee? she loved it! so now when she asks for Bink bee I get the puppy and she laughs and smiles! Thank goodness I didn't find a spare Binky that day! she has done really well other than one night!

My Baby turned 1

2009-08-26T11:45:00.000-07:00

My sweet little red head turned 1 on the 10th and she is making so much progress in her eating issues, we are so proud of her! we thought she wouldn't even be able to enjoy her own cake but she did! we had a nice party and enjoyed all the family and friends who came!

Utah!

2009-08-26T10:46:00.001-07:00

So we took our Family vacation to Utah this year and had a blast! We started at by visiting family and friends and then had an activity planned almost every day we were there! we took the girls to hogel zoo, I think Mia likes the Monkeys the most! we then took the girls to park city and rode the alpine slides and we all had a fun ride! Jayson and Mia went to a water park called cowabunga and he said she had fun, macie and I had had enough sun by then so we went shopping while they did that! we also went to wheeler farm to the bountiful bubble, which has changed alot since my child hood and then the rest of time we mostly just relaxed with friends and family! I miss Utah and all my family and friends alot!

Not cool!

2009-08-26T10:41:00.000-07:00

so the reason I haven't blogged in awhile is because a few weeks ago I had a short opportunity to get on the computer and wrote this long old post about our trip to Utah and added tons of photos and when I decided to preview it and then hit the back button it went bye bye! I was so upset I have been avoiding this blog since! but I will try again!

In The Merry, Merry Month Of May!

2009-05-21T11:01:00.000-07:00

Mia turned 2 in April but I'm just now posting some pictures from her party, she is so dang cute and actually her outfit is one she got for her 1st birthday! she's just so little, but is as happy and fun and healthy as she should be!

Macie is now 9 months and I cant say anything but what a sweet baby she is and how fun and chubby she is, which is a miracle in itself since she wont eat any food, she still just nurses and we are constantly working on it but no luck yet. She is getting more hair and it's curly and everyone says it's getting more red, but it looks the same to us!

I'm getting more and more clients and Im sure in the near future I will be able to move back into a salon, we are just waiting to see were we will be in the next few months!

Easter!

2009-04-14T23:39:00.000-07:00

so just an update on life at the Scoubes home! Jayson seems to be feeling better after the last posting I wrote, he seems to be feeling better thank goodness!

We had a nice Easter, I sang a solo at church, and that went well! My Mom and Dad came to hear me and I appreciated the support, for some odd reason it helps with the nerves! Mia and Macie looked adorable in there Easter dresses and Mia loved to twirl in hers all day! Then Mia and Charlie Medrano had an egg hunt here after Church and it was so cute! all in all it was a pretty great day!

bad wife

2009-03-30T13:55:00.000-07:00

so Jayson has been complaining for over a week about a pain in his side, I finally told him to quit complaining about it, unless he was going to do something about it! so when he called in sick on Friday I got worried, Jayson has never called in sick in the 7 years we've been together! So needless to say now I was worried.
He went to the Doctor on Friday morning and they eliminated kidney stones or his appendix and then the doctor told him it could be his gallbladder, so now we are just waiting for a CT scan in the next few days! I felt horrible though for dismissing his pain and thinking it was nothing! I just hope it's not too serious!

Lot's to say!

2009-02-18T10:34:00.000-08:00

So Jayson and I just had our 6th anniversary, well crap it's already been a month ago, man I'm bad at this! but it was awesome.

Mia decided she wanted to start potty training and that's going well, she just sat down and went, it was amazing! we also turned her photo in to Regis and Kelly's beautiful baby contest, it starts in march, I think the week of march 9th, good luck Mia!

Macie is 6 months old and can now sit up on her own, has 2 teeth! and is as happy as ever!

I have now lost 51 pounds and I'm so happy! I have enjoyed working out and running a mile a day for a little time alone! Jayson also lost 20 pounds, that he didn't need to lose, but he looks great!

5 months of Bliss

2009-01-12T00:17:00.000-08:00

Macie my sweet little red head just turned 5 months old on the 10th and I cant even believe how fast the time fly's, I know everyone says that, but it is just surreal sometimes, one moment you are holding a tiny new born and the next she is rolling over, blowing bubbles and talking your ear off with her sweet gibberish! I love this girl so much and I just try not to wish away the time!

Christmas Time

2009-01-12T00:00:00.000-08:00

We were so excited to spend the holidays with all the Grandparents and family, What a blessing and a gift this year to have my Mom being healthy and on her way to recovery from the Transplant! and for My sweet Dad to have lost a child and still put on a happy face during the week he came to be with us! I love the support we give to one another and I hope I will always be so grateful!

The girls and Jayson and I were spoiled as always and we just soaked up all the family time we could!

Merry Christmas to all!

Elmo

2008-12-05T10:06:00.000-08:00

Jayson's Mom Mary and I took Mia and Jayson's little brother Jaycob to see sesame street live Elmo makes music.

Jayson and I debated for weeks about taking Mia, Jayson thought that she wouldn't last through the whole thing and I disagreed that I thought she was ready for the challenge! and I won that battle!
She loved it so much and sat the entire time with her eyes glued to the stage! I am thankful to have someone to go see silly musicals and theater stuff with! It was so fun!

You have to see this video it is hillarious, Mia was rocking out!

Thanks Giving

2008-12-05T09:58:00.000-08:00

We had such a wonderful time in redding for Thanks Giving, We spent the Day playing and eating! Then on black Friday we did the same thing over again because My Mom and Dad were able to come home for a few days over the Holiday, It was a great time!
And We are all so excited for next week cause We all get to meet My sister Amy's baby for the first time!

some Halloween photo's I forgot to post

2008-11-20T11:42:00.000-08:00

A long time!

2008-11-20T11:32:00.000-08:00

So as you can see it has been awhile since I wrote anything, But I just had no motivation to write anything until yesterday when I got reconnected with an old friend of Mine and it was a much needed reunion for me, it's hard to stay in touch when you live in different places, and have families and but thank goodness for the beauty of the Internet!
As for an update on my Mommy, she is doing very well, they are even going to let her come home for a few days over Thanksgiving as long as the tests on Monday reveal that all is well ! We have been to see her and I can tell that she has a better day when she is with the kids, and they do too, any time they get a chance to be with Grandma is a better day!

The Transplant

2008-10-27T14:53:00.000-07:00

Many of you know that my Mom has been waiting for a lung transplant for awhile now and it finally happened, Wednesday night my Mom called me at around 8:00 pm to tell me they had a match! My initial reaction was a few tears I really wanted to be there, but didn't know if I was going to make it to San Fran be for the operation! I said a quick prayer to calm myself and collect my thoughts and then I began to pack! luckily we had a few hours of testing and waiting be for they took her down to the operating room.
Macie was with me and she woke up to be fed while they were getting Mom prepped, Mom was able to play with her and rock her to sleep!
My Mom seemed ready for this day, more so than the rest of us, Dad and I were able to stay there with her until they took her down for the operation which began at 6:20 am, she was brought up to the ICU at around 2:00 pm The surgery went well and she is making great progress, she is still in the ICU as of today but that should be changing very soon. The new lungs are functioning very well and Dad is at her side every minute possible! I am so thankful for the gospel and the love of family I have, Heavenly father blesses us in more ways than we recognize but I'm grateful for all I have!

Scooby Zooooo

2008-10-17T23:45:00.000-07:00

As parents I think we all talk about not passing our fears onto our children, but when it comes to snakes, I'm not sure I can help it.
Jayson and I have been talking about taking Mia to the Zoo since we had her, and since we lived in Sacramento up until 4 months ago, you would have thought we would have done it by now, but no, didn't happen! So last week while we were trying to figure out what to do on Columbus Day, The Medrano's brought up the Zoo, and we were in!
Mia is in love with animals, she can pretty much do all the sounds, so we knew she would love the Zoo!
The lion was a hit and she loved the pink flamingos, as I said before, I hate snakes, so we breezed through the reptile room and onto the giraffe! needless to say she loved it!
After the Zoo we had allot of time to spare so we headed to a pumpkin patch, where we fed Goats and a scary Lama, I'm so proud of Mia and how brave she is, she went straight up to the animals and let them eat right out of her hand! We also picked out some pumpkins to carve!

It was a very fun Day, Thank you Medrano's for getting us into gear, and helping us take the girls to the Zoo!

Macie Smiles

2008-10-06T14:59:00.000-07:00

She finally started to smile just a few weeks ago, I finally got a great picture of her beautiful grin!

Macie's Blessing

2008-10-03T11:33:00.000-07:00

We were in redding this last weekend to bless Macie and we had a busy but wonderful time, Macie was such an angel during the blessing and looked like an angel too! I always love having my family around!

We were lucky enough to have many of our friends come and it was wonderful!

Family Visits

2008-09-11T11:38:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago My Dad came to visit from Ohio, and my brother came from London, so they could meet Macie and visit with Mia, Jay and I. We had a wonderful visit but it was way to short. I'm not sure how many of you know what an unbelievable artist my brother is but I assure you he is, I unfortunately dont have any of Joel's originals but in the near future he will be doing one for me of my children with Christ, I cant wait, but in the mean time I wanted to share his talent with you all, last year he did a painting of Christ for one of our uncle's, of course I fell in love with it! the title of the piece is "Open Arms" By Joel Cable

The New Us

2008-09-11T11:12:00.000-07:00

So I have just created this blog, with a little help from my friend! and I figured I should start out with what's new!
Jayson and I just moved back to Chico 3 months ago and so far we feel like we 're home again, well at least I do, Jayson still misses Sacramento, I did the big city life growing up and I have found that I like a slower pace, as for Jayson well he grew up in a smaller area and so the big city was his thing!
Jayson started a new job last week with a company called Far Northern Regional health, he is a Bilingual case manager, he will be helping people with disabilities get funding for their needs, specifically Spanish speaking families! we are thankful for this new adventure and hope it's a winner!
I, as most of you know just had baby #2 a month ago and I feel fabulous, this new baby Macie is so sweet and is so easy going that it's easy not to neglect Mia! I just started back doing hair at home and it feels good to have a few minutes of adult interaction after hearing Elmo's world 4 times a day!
Mia is so dang cute and very strong willed, she is learning quickly but is still not growing quickly, she is a terrible eater, we call her our little midget!
And our new precious baby Macie is such a good girl and is the opposite of Mia in the food department, and it seems as though she may pass Mia up in to long!
Well for now that's the new us!
