Mixed Nuts

My new health regimen.. :)

So Shane's been ordering all kinds of 'health' stuff and using me as his guinea pig. I haven't felt good for days because of it either....but he swears its just the body detoxifying itself and becoming used to new things it's never had before.

It feels like mount Vesuvius in my stomach.

The concoction is:

Vit. C in HUGE doses

L.Lysine

Vit.E

Vit.A

Vit.D

Vit.B complex

Rhodiola Rosea

big gobs of Coconut Oil

Apple cider vinegar

(Soon to be added) -

Mineral supplement, calcium magnesium etc.

Lugol's Iodine solution
Feverfew for occasional headaches

Rich thinks we're nuts. He just shakes his head at me and rolls his eyes when I complain about not feeling so good while taking all this stuff.

But when my biological clock starts to reverse itself and I start to look 10 years younger....and thinner....and he continues to get a little more grey and a little bit bigger pants....Well, then we'll just see who's laughing.

If any of you want the amounts, etc......so you can do it too, just let me know ;)

Does this guy come to YOUR house?

He comes here....the kids have been counting down the days.

And I only have one day left to make it to the dollar store!

He always brings goodies and green sparkly things to our house....last year he left a trail of green glitter all around the house...baaad idea. I'm sure this year he's going to be MUCH smarter ;)

What does he do at YOUR house??

Jacee singing with Rascal Flatts

He did GREAT...and I bet he had the time of his life!

Can you imagine being 15 and not only meeting RF....but singing onstage with them!

I love this picture..he's so cute! Love him!

His mom said it was 'like being in a dream awake', seeing her son up there singing....

I bet it was :)

Toma in his NEW GLASSES!!!! funny ;)

Isn't he adorable?!?!?

But he doesn't like them at all!

Then Mr. Alex had to get in on the action too :)

Artiom's big news :)

He lost his first tooth! (teeth, actually)

He must have swallowed the first one though, because I didn't find it anywhere...yet. But I wiggled the second one until it popped out. He laughed and laughed.

This was kind of special because obviously we missed most of his 'firsts' because we got him when he was 5, so this was one 'first' we didn't miss :)

His glasses are in, I just have to go down to the cities to pick them up....we are STILL waiting on the hearing aids....I can't believe it. It's been since last JULY! The audiologist is apparently still waiting to hear from our insurance. What in the world.

I've been going back and forth with the two different hospitals we take him to about when to schedule the palate surgery....we've had him in twice for MRI's and x-rays to get a good idea what the issues are with his spine and neck....and if extending it for prolonged periods of time (surgery) is safe.

Well, now they said he needs yet ANOTHER MRI done to be sure. It's a bit frustrating that they couldn't have done what they needed to do the first 2 times.

And its REALLY expensive!

So, now we are hoping to get him on a different kind of insurance this July. So after talking to the Dr. we decided to wait on the surgery until then. And same goes for his dental work, because of the sedation and neck extension.... but his dentist said his cavities weren't as bad as I thought they were.

He's getting much more playful with the other kids. He's interacting a little more. He gets excited when Rich gets home from work and goes running to him :)

He loves to go places, when he sees someone put a coat on he takes our hands and leads us to the coat rack to get his jacket too.

He's still ~~obsessed~~ very interested in water. Especially the sprayer on the sink. He had a squirt gun and loved it...kept spraying himself in the face with it and laughing....but it got a little obsessive too, so I took it away for a while.

So there you have it, my baby's not a baby anymore :)
