prayers and prayers and more prayers

Tonight is one of those nights where I wish I could just sleep and not let anything get in the way of my sleep. I have a lot on my mind specifically Jacob and his wrist. Tomorrow is his appointment with the pediatric orthopedic and this is when they tell us exactly what will be happening. The last couple appointments have been hard every time they have done an xray they have had to go back and basically move the bone and recast it because the bone is growing at an angle. So now its come to the point where they are basically going to do another xray and then let us know if he is going to have surgery or not. if he is to have surgery they would break his wrist and then put it back together with a pin and then recast it and he is out for another 6-8 weeks. I want what's best for him but I also see him kind of falling into a depression over it. It is so hard for a 6 year old to just sit it out during recess for 6-8 weeks which he has been doing but can you imagine having to do it for d...

Meet Lincoln Nathaniel

So I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing this phrase "he was a surprise baby" now I totally understand it, lol. Here is our last baby known as the Links, he was born August 15, 2016 him and Mason were born 15 months apart. He is now 7 months has one tooth that just came through, he crawls and sits up and is just adorable Lincoln's labor was so rough, and even after I had him all I wanted to do was take my baby home to meet the rest of our clan and recover. Of course that was not easy either there was a huge fire in the Cajon Pass and we couldn't come straight home so we went to my Mom's house in Downey to wait it out, we spent one night and I felt horrible I missed my boys and I missed my house and I physically felt horrible. The next day we tried to come home and the freeway was still closed so we had an adventure going all the way around through big bear with a 3 day old. It was tough every bump and move hurt me so much but Lincoln was such ...

Meet Mason Nicholas

On May 9th, 2015 welcomed our 4th boy Mason, he was born in Fontana at the Kaiser and he has been such a sweetheart. He is perfect, he comes at a time when life has been a little on the down side so his arrival is definitely exciting. With each new baby comes new light and a chance to start from 0. Mason has a big personality and his brothers just adore him, Julian constantly messes with him and tries to always take his toys, Jacob defends him but always argues with Mason at the same time, and then there is Damian, Damian kisses the floor Mason walks on he is his protector for anything and everything. He is always holding him and when Mason was a new baby Damian always watched him like a hawk, if a family member or friend were holding him for too long he would walk over and quietly ask for his baby back. If Mason cried he was on it teaching the adults how his baby liked to be bounced and held. Still to this day one of Mason's first words were  Beben (Damian for short). They f...

we went from 5 to 7

The year is 2017 and I am not really sure what happened but time did not pause and so a lot was missed, sorry. When I originally started this it was with the intention to keep up with it and make sure the boys had memories they could go back and read and if one day Ricky or I lost our memory we could read this and remember the bigger things that happened. Ok so we have added two more to our family which I will also write a separate post for each one but lets say hello to Mason Nicholas who is about to be two in May and then Lincoln Nathaniel who is 7 months old and the last of our mohicans. So now we are a family of 7, which is pretty interesting given the fact that there are 6 boys and then there's me. I'm trying my hardest to adjust who I am to fit this whole "boy" lifestyle sometimes its challenging but for the most part its fun and a bit dangerous. So we had two more babies we also moved from our baby house that we lived in since I was pregnant (baby 3) with Jacob...
