I am really trying to be intentional this year about getting our family to eat healthier. It is not an easy task and takes more time and effort on my part but it can be done. I have been researching clean eating and learning about what goes in to what we eat.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
My kids have been juice drinkers which honestly has bothered me for a while. I think it is because Waylon and I don't drink enough water either. I would choose a Diet DP, tea or anything else over water any day of the week. I was also justifying the juice since I was buying the Roaring Rapids Capris Suns, which is still loaded with sugar. This is NO longer the case! I stopped buying juice. It has been water or milk for the kids for the past couple of weeks. And you know what? They are breathing and thriving (not to mention their teeth are probably thanking me)! Who knew?! ;) It was a slight adjustment at first with whining about not having a juice with dinner but that quickly ceased when all we had was water or milk. Water goes in Austin's lunch to school now too. I know the kids are going to get their juice fix at birthday parties, friend's and family's homes and such. I still by soda for Waylon because I don't want him to completely hate me. :) Clean/healthy eating has to become a way of life not just for me but for my family. I am easing them into it. My kids don't like veggies so I am taking it slow and hiding the heck out of the veggies in their food! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So my mom and I have been talking about prepping meals for easy dinners for a while now. Since I work full time, I leave the house at 7:30am (on a good day) and don't get home until 6:45pm after picking up the boys. The hubs is a lacrosse coach on the side with practice 4 night per week as well. This schedule does not allow for a lot of cooking at night for me, especially when the boys are whining from the moment they get in the car about being hungry. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We decided to try the meals that I found on <a href="http://pinterest.com/eheflin/"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a> via <a href="http://www.lovingmynest.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Loving My Nest</span></a>. Jessica, from Loving my Nest posted her crock pot recipes, shopping lists and more on her blog. We made all of the recipes from the <a href="http://www.lovingmynest.com/food-love/freezer-crock-pot-meals-round-2/"><span style="color: blue;">Slow Cooker Recipes (Round 2)</span></a> post. It was easier than we thought to prep all of the meals. It took us over 2 hours to prep 12 meals (6 for my mom and 6 for me). The meals were labeled with instructions and bagged for the freezer. </div>

<div align="center">
So far, I have made the <a href="http://www.allergyfreecooking.net/chicken-taco-soup/"><span style="color: blue;">Chicken Taco Soup</span></a> and the <a href="http://www.allergyfreecooking.net/sloppy-tamale-pie/"><span style="color: blue;">Sloppy Tamale Pie</span></a> and my family loved them. All of the ingredients are fresh or canned beans/tomatoes with the exception of the taco seasoning (which we will make from scratch next time). I put cheese and crushed tortilla chips on the soup for the kiddos (and a ton of avacado on Jack's). The Sloppy Tamale Pie is just like a traditional sloppy joe but made with ground turkey (which is all I use anyways) and zucchini, carrots, onion and bell pepper. I served it on a bun to my kids and they ate it up. They also had no idea that the veggies were in there. Score!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
From both of the meals I have cooked so far, I have enough left over for 2 more meals. I imagine by the end of this week, I will have left overs from every meal which would mean that we actually made 12 meals each for approx. $4.50 per meal. The crock pot is the way to go for me. I was nervous however about leaving it on all day while I am gone for 11 hours. Most recipes say to cook your crock pot meals for 5-8 hours on low. Both of the meals that I have made have been just perfect in the CP for 11+ hours on low. I even continue to keep it on low until Waylon gets home from practice so he has a warm meal. I am hooked to say the least!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I also make <a href="http://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/personal-sized-baked-oatmeal-with-individual-toppings-gluten-free-diabetic-friendly/"><span style="color: blue;">Oatmeal Muffins</span></a> and <a href="http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2010/09/28/recipe-pumpkin-bread/"><span style="color: blue;">Pumpkin Bread Muffins</span></a> and keep them in the freezer all the time. Austin loves the Oatmeal muffins so he gets them for snacks and lunch and Jack likes the "puntin' muffins" which makes a better snack for him.</div>

There is so much to share, I don't even know where to start. My last post was Halloween. Since then, we are back down to two kids (ours) as my nieces are with another amazing family. The three months that we had five kids were the most difficult months of my entire life. One of the most difficult days was the day they left. They are doing amazing however and we are going to see them tomorrow. <br />
<br />
That experience taught me so much about myself, my kids, and my family. I am more proud of Austin than I ever have been. He handled the time with the girls so very well. He was a great brother/cousin to them. He was always a huge help and never complained. Jack on the other hand picked up some not-so-awesome habits as a result of the attention sharing. He started biting and tantruming more often. He has gotten a lot better as things have settled down around here. <br />
<br />
Austin experienced a huge milestone week of Christmas; he lost a tooth! <br />
<br />

I didn't even know it was loose. Waylon was at home with the boys and when I got home from work, Austin was so excited to show me his tooth and let me know that he pulled it out himself! Waylon said that one minute, Austin was complaining that it was loose, the next minute, he had pulled it on his own. I had a little "mommy moment" about that one. I had no idea that I would get so emotional about a tooth. (Waylon didn't either) ;) So Aus got a visit from the Tooth Fairy and Santa all in the same week.<br />
<br />
We went to Oklahoma for Christmas which was a great time to get away and see family. Pics from the trip are coming next! <br />

To tell you the truth, I have a tiny excuse. Well, I should say three tiny excuses. My three nieces have been placed with us for an undetermined amount of time. Twins, age 3 and a 21 month old make up our household of seven. Needless to say, things have been a little busy. <br />
<br />
To catch you up, Austin has been rocking the kindergarten scene. He is constantly amazing us with all that he is learning. He has been in school for almost two months and I still tear up when I drop him off everyday. I cannot get over how big he is. He made an "All About Me" poster for open house at school. When Waylon and I went back for parent/teacher conference, it was displayed in the center of the class since he was the Star Student of the Week. <br />

Even in the midst of the circus our house has become, he is still the youngest and I think he knows it. You cannot blink an eye without this kid getting into a child-locked kitchen cabinet, standing up on the coffee table, pushing over a lamp, knocking the girls heads together or pulling all of the diapers out of the diaper cart. (yes, I have a diaper cart) I still love every single chubby ounce of this baby.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The twins were showered with lots of gifts and love. It has taken a while to get used to having dresses, purses and the color pink spread throughout our house. We are blessed to have them in our home for however long they will be here. <br />
<br />
I expect that things will only get more interesting from here so stay tuned! ;)<br />

<br />
On June 14th, 2010, you graced this world and made it a better place. <br />
<br />
You are such a sweet, curious and very happy baby. Right now, you are still trying figure out the walking thing. I don't think you are in any hurry much like your brother. You get around just fine crawling or holding on to something. <br />
<br />
You have 6 little chompers behind that contagious smile that have caused a nice bruise on Mommy and your first discipline report at school. <br />
<br />
You are completely smitten with your big brother. He adores you too when you are not trying to tackle him or take away whatever he is playing with. Austin can make you smile just by walking in the room. <br />
<br />
You are already a "Momma's boy" and I am not complaining!! I will hold and squeeze you as long as you will let me. <br />
<br />
You are definitely going to be our daredevil. Unlike Austin, you want to climb everything, jump out of our arms in a second, open every cabinet and put EVERYTHING in your mouth. Your toddler years are going to keep us on our toes! <br />
<br />
Your first birthday was super cute and super hot!!! One day you will see all of the awesomeness that went into celebrating your first year. <br />
<br />
Thank you for all of the joy that you have brought this family. You are nothing short of amazing and I love you more than words can say. Happy first birthday!<br />
<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On Day 11 of the Easter Countdown, my Austin has pink eye. He got it from me and the doc said that I got it from Jack's virus. It's been a rough couple of weeks at the Heflin House. Pink eye did not stop Austin from asking to open an egg as soon as he got up this morning however. He could not go to school so he got to open it early today.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I saw the <em>Countdown to Easter</em> on one of the many blogs I follow, <a href="http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2010/03/easter-countdown.html"><span style="color: blue;">eighteen25</span></a>. I loved the idea to keep Austin excited about Easter. This Easter we are traveling by plane to visit my mom and grandmother in Odessa, TX so he is already thrilled. Austin gets to open one fun-filled egg everyday until Easter. My plan is two-fold: It is something great for Austin to look forward to everyday and it is also a way to get him to listen. He can't open the egg unless he's had a great day at school, which includes not crying when I drop him off (yes, I am still having a problem with that since he started day care about a month ago) and being a good listener in the mornings.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Day 12 treat: A pair of Spiderman socks. I found these in the $1 bin at Target along with several other treats for the eggs. He was so excited and can't wait to see what is in store for Day 11.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Five years ago, (three weeks early) at 7:30 am on a Monday, you decided that you were ready grace this world. Well...twelve hours later you were actually ready. You have been making us laugh, smile and proud ever since.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">You woke up early on your fifth birthday so very excited. You could not wait to celebrate with your friends. As we were getting ready for the day, you told me that since you are five, you can now do what ever you want. I was quick to say, "We’ll see." When you went to brush your teeth, you said that you could reach things easier like the faucet and the light switch since you were bigger. You LOVE being five! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I was worried about your five year old check up because it would mean that you would need "pokies". (You call shots, "pokies" and I hope you never stop). The doctor told me however that you don't need anymore until you turn eleven. This was the best news that we've heard in a while and was a great birthday present!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Your favorite things right now are any kind of fruit and any kind of meat. If I asked you though, you'd say your favorite thing to eat is something silly like a poo-poo sandwich and laugh hysterically (I hope you never stop that either - the laughing part). So far, at five years old, I have heard you say that you want to be a Marine, a teacher or a train conductor when you grow up. You are set on going to college and constantly ask when you can come home from college and visit. My answer is always, "Whenever and as often as you want." Let's just get through kindergarten first. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Speaking of kindergarten, this is the big year. In a few short months, you will be in elementary school. It makes my stomach hurt thinking about it. I know you will love school. You desperately want to learn new things and to be big. I wish you would slow down stay five. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Your Dad always says that if he wrote a book, it would be titled "The Four-Year-Old Salesman." You can literally talk your way out of any situation or at least try. This was our conversation on the way home from school today...</div><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><div style="text-align: left;">A: "Mom, what are we going to do when I get too many toys?"</div><div style="text-align: left;">E: "We will give them to kids that don't have any toys."</div><div style="text-align: left;">A: "Yeah, we can give them the broken ones."</div><div style="text-align: left;">E: "That's not nice. Would you want someone to give you broken toys?"</div><div style="text-align: left;">A: "Well...sure, if I got a broken toy, I would use my imagine to make it in to something else. Like, if you gave me a sock, I would turn it into a sock puppet and have a puppet show. Those kids just have to use their imagine too."</div></blockquote>This is the kind of stuff your Dad is talking about. You always make a good point and stump us pretty often.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">You are the BEST big brother. Jackson adores you. Only you can make him smile or laugh just by walking in the room. You are already so protective of him and help out so much. Everyone keeps telling me to wait and you guys will want to hurt each other some day but something tells me that you will always be a great big brother. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I love you buddy and I am so proud and honored to be your Mommy. Thank you for being completly awesome. I hope your fifth year is amazing.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you to my sister Shawn for getting Austin from school and keeping him for 3 days. Thank you for cleaning my house while we were there. That was a HUGE surprise! I was actually dreading walking in the door because I knew what a mess I left it in. I really appreciate you and Chad keeping him busy!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you Tracy Robinson for letting Austin hang out with you and the kiddos on Monday and for coming to the hospital to visit. Austin totally loves it at your place! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you to my parents, Ken, Donna, Jan and Bob for coming up to the hospital and spending time with us. I know that Jack loved seeing you guys!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you to my sisters, Lendi, Jennifer and Kim for constantly checking on us and Jack's progress. Love you girls!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you Donna Dean for coming with your Mom and Austin to the hospital. I have watched the video you took of Jack 187 times. ;)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">To all my family, co-workers and facebook friends, thank you!!!! It is amazing and such a blessing to have so much support and people willing to help. I appreciate all of your comments and prayers. It was a difficult 4 days and you guys really helped get us through it. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">And finally, thank you God for answering our prayers.</div><br />

He ran a low grade fever and ate a little more. He slept until 11:30 am today at the hospital even with the vital checks every four hours. Waylon and I were able to sleep until about 10 am which was nice. He was taken off of IV fluids about 8am. The doctor came in and said that his ear infection is still present but should clear up with the meds he is currently taking. The infectious disease team did a series of tests and he came back positive for Adenovirus. Back to Google we went...</div><blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Adenoviruses</strong> — a group of viruses that infect the membranes (tissue linings) of the respiratory tract, the eyes, the intestines, and the urinary tract — account for about 10% of acute respiratory infections in kids and are a frequent cause of diarrhea. Adenoviral infections affect infants and young children much more frequently than adults. Childcare centers and schools sometimes experience multiple cases of respiratory infections and diarrhea that are caused by adenovirus. Although these infections can occur at any time of the year, respiratory tract disease caused by adenovirus is more common in late winter, spring, and early summer. However, conjunctivitis and pharyngoconjunctival fever caused by adenovirus tend to affect older kids mostly in the summer. The majority of the population will have experienced at least one adenoviral infection by age 10. Although adenoviral infection in kids can occur at any age, most take place in the first years of life. Since there are many different types of adenovirus, repeated adenoviral infections can occur.</span></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;">This does explain all of the symptoms that he was having. The doc said that there are still more tests/cultures pending but if any of them came back positive, it would not change the treatment plan. She approved his discharge from the hospital.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are finally home! {Big sigh and happy tear} Jack is napping peacefully in his own bed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because this infection is a typical day care infection, I am dreading taking him back. I plan to keep him here for a few days until he is totally fever free and the congestion is a little better so that he can eat more. Unfortunately, my kids have to be "day care kids". I can only hope that this has built up his immunity to tolerate whatever may come next. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will put my list of "thank you's" in my next post. The "thank you's" deserve their own post as we had so much support and have so much to be thankful for. For now, I feel as though I have been hit by a train. Waylon and I are completely exhausted. Off to get Austin and rest....</div><br />
