A Special thanks to My momma

I just wanted to let you know how amazing my momma is!

She is the most amazing mother and Grandma in the world we are so lucky to have her! She has been there for me through every thing and I can not thank her enough for all that she has done! I also want to thank her for being the best grandma nana ever! She is so amazing with my kids and my kids adore her! On top of being a great mother and grandma she is also a great person altogether! And no matter what she is always giving to others even when she rarely gives to herself.

Mom you are amazing and an inspiration to me! I am so glad to call you mom and so glad I have had you through all these rough times! I am sorry for all the added and unnecessary stress that my problems have added to you! But just know everything you have done and are doing are never going unnoticed!

I love you mom!

Thank you for everything!

6 months later

So it has been half a year sine I have updated my lovely blog! I feel horrible because I know a few people enjoy to see what is going on in my life that do not play the facebook or myspace game! So to them I apologize greatly for my failure to keep you updated over the past 6 months! Anyways... So the last 6 months has been crazy! For me school is still going really well and keeping me busy every step of the way, but I have maintained my 4.0! (yes I love to brag about it!) I have had my very low moments and very high moments with school! But I made it through another semester well 2 if you count the short winter semester! I am on track to get my AA by December of this year or spring of next year I have yet to decide what I want to do since I may have to wait until fall of next year to transfer to Cal Poly. A special thanks to Ernie for all his help and patience with me! He has been here for me during all my highs and lows of the last year and a half!



On the other end of my life the kids are FANTASTIC they are doing well and growing up so fast, but they are such amazing kids with the biggest hearts and best personalities! I am so blessed to have them as my children! We have been having lots of fun going here there and every where. As I mentioned in my last post I think (briefly) Kayla got to swim with the dolphins at sea world for her birthday compliments of Nana. She had so much fun and I can't wait to take her to Mexico to swim with the dolphins there! We have also made trips to Disneyland (I know I know) enjoyed the movies, had campouts in mommy's room, visited Utah, had a day at circus circus,just to name a few of the fun family things we have enjoyed the past several months.

So more on Kayla... She is getting so big, but oh she is beautiful! She is doing so well in school! She loves math and picks up on it like you wouldn't believe! My mom taught her times tables and she picked that up quick! She isn't the biggest fan of reading, which I hope changes as she takes on more interesting books! Uncle Ryan has introduced her to Harry Potter so I know once she gets into that book she will find she really loves to read! At school she always gets a great report from teachers on how amazing she is with her positive attitude and her willingness to do what needs to be done. Kayla also has gotten into the whole "green" campaign. She loves to recycle, she loves the world and all things in it! I tell people she will be my little Hippie=D lol She is on her way to doing so many great things and I am so excited to see her grow and change! Kayla is also the best big sister ever! She is so great with Wes and she is so patient (minus the moments of frustration that come with the territory of being a big sister) with him and helps him learn so much! A few weeks ago she saw a commercial about how you can teach your baby to read and she decided that Wes could do that so she sat and wrote out simple words and cut them out into flashcards, she showed Wes the word and acted out or showed him what it was and sure enough he picked up on them and the next time he saw those words he knew them and could read them! Aw it just melts my heart how amazing my kids are!

Now on to Wes, he is doing great and like all kids he is getting so big! It is hard to believe that he will be 4 in less then 2 months! It amazes me how quickly he picks up on things and amazes me more how smart he is. He is stubborn and knows how to play the card well! LOL He likes to tease everyone because he knows he can get a laugh out of people! He does daycare now so I can attend school in the morning and he loves it! He has tons of friends and a girlfriend ;) there. It is so cute listening to him talk about Isabella (his girlfriend) and it is so cute to watch him when he gets there, Every morning when we get there Wes searches for Isabella and when they spot each other Isabella runs over and gives Wes a big hug! It is the cutest thing ever! HAHA He says she loves him, but he can't kiss her! So that is good! Wesley is getting so good at all his learning books and is picking up on all the concepts really well! All preparation for kindergarten! AHHHH I can't believe next year he will be in school! He is a great little brother too! He always wants to play with sister and spend time with her! It is so great that my kids enjoy each other! I could go on for days about my kids and brag about every single thing they do, but that could literally go on for days! LOL

Other news! MY DIVORCE IS GOING TO BE FINAL ANY DAY NOW!!!!!! So so so so so HAPPY it is finally at an end! Now I can officially close that chapter in my life! I do have to say that despite the end I learned so much the last 9 years of my life! I went through numerous ups and downs in my marriage and I learned so many life lessons that most people never even dream about having to learn! But I am grateful for all those lessons as I know that I am a stronger and better person for them and I can take on the world! I can now begin to expand my wings even further and conquer all my goals with no one holding me back and telling me I can't go for my goals because its to dangerous or that job doesn't make enough money or that my goals are impossible!!! So far I am right on track and before I know it I will be done with school and on my way to checking off all of my goals one by one on my terms!

I also went back to Mexico but this time to Cancun! My friend JoAnn moved from Vallarta to Cancun the end of last year so I decided to pay her a visit in her new paradise! I do have to say WOW!!! I loved it there! She has a place right on the ocean where she can wake up every day to the sunrise right outside her window! My vacation was so relaxing and fun! I hope to go back often to enjoy more of it! I am so blessed to have JoAnn and her family in my life! Alright well I think I have ran out of time for now but I will be returning soon with more! I hope all is well with you all!

Loves, hugs, and kisses Amber Lukes =D
