Ok , We are all fine and I am healing from a too long of a story. How long till you can use your stomach muscles after c-section so far been 12 days and the pain is exactly the same and I can't come close to using them let alone doing my core exercise which is KILLING me. Garen is just doing soooo great. Academic his output sucks but it is actually what he is supposed to do for the level he is at. I just wish he would show me all he knows but his interaction and communication is just improving so fast. Masen does all his programming because he is the best with him. Ayven looks like Masen and Garen did and acts like Masen did as a baby soooo easy. Only cries when Alex changes him but who wouldn't Alex really likes them clean OUCH!!

here is garen and some more of braeleys art

2010-05-31T18:18:00.000-07:00

braeley was in an art show and one many prizes I didnt get all of her art of film but she is very good for her first art class. I feel bad she has been telling me since she was little she loves art and I would just brush it off mainly because I didn't want the mess. But I will try to have her continue.

2010-05-31T18:14:00.000-07:00

masen was in a play and so was braeley and kalen in there class this is just a portion of it the part where they are mouthing a song as you can tell he has the most personality.

ok well garen is being potty trained so far good but he doesnt seem to go on his own he always asks permission. well at first he would go only when we asked him to but we had to not forget. Now he will ask permission but only to me so if I am gone I am worried he wont go if someone doesnt ask him. He used to wait till I came home and tell me he needed to change his diaper I felt bad because he had been sitting so long waiting for me to get home and wouldn't tell anyone else. It is hard trying to figure out how his brain works but luckily I can just call NACD and they can explain and it makes sense. Kylar is a bit jealous always yelling at garen to get on the toilet and go potty or he is going in the stroller. She pulls her diaper off and goes on the toilet right after she wets it. Kinda annoying she will go through eight by lunch. She is close but not there yet so I wont try her yet.

2010-04-27T21:54:00.000-07:00

masen came in second alex thought it was wrong of course. masen won all his races and then the last race came in second and then after the race he switched lanes and beat the winner by a long shot. Of course that is what alex says. I think all dads are the same.

2010-04-27T21:37:00.000-07:00

well I am 13 weeks and finally I am tired. of course who knows if that is pregnancy or just me. I am more excited about NACD for the older kids than I was for 'Garen is that wrong. I guess I know 'Garen will be great because of them but homeschooling forever I was blown away by their programs for the older kids soooo logical and easy and I swear everyone should take their kids in for an evaluation. Things are sooo much clearer when someone puts exactly the right thing for your child. I wish I had this 13 years ago but oh well I am thankful. Garen is doing great he needs to get potty trained and says no every time I bring it up. It is weird I never had to potty train a kid when they knew they just went and that was that. Well they gave me the go ahead because his tactile is alot better and he is feeling deeper pressure. But I have to wait for a day that I have no where to go and hide all the diapers and train kylar and garen on the same day. Garen knows how to go but for some reason REALLY does not want to get on that thing. But I plan to get the stickers and all the bad junk he is not supposed to eat and make a party out of it. First of June though. ok good night for now love em Ps. I dont mean to get all excited about having an autistic child but it is amazing what NACD can to he is changing overnight so I am so grateful to have Garen and learn from him. The kids school program blows me away that NACD came up with. I swear every parent should have their kid in NACD it makes school so easy for them and they progress so fast because you are teaching them exactly the way they think.

2010-04-27T20:56:00.000-07:00

kalen and masen just started flag football first game didn't know what they were doing as much because had no practice but did great especially since they played against a team twice their size. Kalen is the only girl on her team and likes it that way. Shes shy but not stupid. I told her I was a tom boy but only because I liked to hang out with the boys I also was not stupid. miss those days playing in the mud and games with the boys.

2010-04-15T19:09:00.000-07:00

Can I just tell you how lucky I am. I dont know why I am sooo blessed I certainly don't deserve it but Heavenly Father has really been answering so many prayers and truly helping my life be at much more peace. Which is hard for me to stay peaceful always running around like a chicken with her head cut off. My husband is sooo patient and good and I never appreciate how hard he works for his family and for everyone. He always thinks of others and puts himself last he truly has a love for people that he has been blessed with. Sometimes I think people take advantage of him but it always come back in love to him. People when they finally get to know him sees that his true happiness comes in helping them. He is fun and keeps me young. I wish that I could always remember this especially when I am hormonal. I am grateful that we are having our 8th baby together. I am so grateful for him letting me stay home and homeschool and spend all his money on every extra class I can put my kids in. I am also glad that he follows the spirit in all he does and truly finds the best people to surround himself with. I love my husband and my children so much I hope I can just continue to deserve these blessings.

2010-04-04T18:34:00.000-07:00

ok so way too much candy today we had a huge easter hunt in the house lasted a total of 3 minutes but they got soo much candy and ate it all today. I think I am going to barf. We take Masen , Braeley and Seda into NACD tomorrow for their appointments they are going to tell me how they think, learn etc. I am excited to see what they do with kids that are normal or whatever. I know Braeley does not have a dominate eye and I wonder how that affects things. ok I will tell you what happens when I get back.

I love this boy what a change its been for him. He is sooooo much better it is like waking him up out of dream land. 'Autistic kids are in La La land and dont interact with you unless they need something he's so awake and barely in la la land always asking me "excuse me mom can I have ..excuse me mom ... He asks me everything. He still doesn't have a huge vocabulary but is definately using his ears now. Since autistic kids it stems from their ears being magnify they tend to not use them and zone out so with NACD program he is gradually starting to use them more. The more he uses them the less I have to build the language connection for him in the brain and he does it on his own. We took him in on friday and they were shocked with how much he was saying that wasn't a line that was fed to him he was thinking on his own and coming up with his own conversation\. YAAAAA love you all em see you in July

2010-03-16T22:11:00.000-07:00

braeley did pretty well too on the bronco

2010-02-17T10:37:00.000-08:00

Here is my handsome little bro Fenton who I left to fend for himself at 9 years old and have only seen him five times since then. What a lousy sister I am. I had lots of fun getting to know the MAN fenton. Very funny!!! and for all the ladys almost single. I also enjoyed seeing my mom and dad who happily housed me for 6 days. I loved hanging out with Amy. I am so glad we have a great relationship now. You is a great sister with lots of energy and fun and much insight. I love her. My mom and dad look great and cute and we are excited to see them this summer. ps. I did not color my hair again this is the process of fading pretty cool. keeps changing till I am back to dirty what ever color.

2010-02-17T10:28:00.000-08:00

Happy Bday Kylar wow this child is two and I am not pregnant!! Thats a first but we are having fun and Garen is doing great with his best buddy Kylar and Seda of course. We will be making our big trip in July with the majority of it in California and end in Utah then end of July. Miss and love all

handsome man at the ranch

2009-10-20T19:25:00.000-07:00

sorry bad lighting which makes our wall look bright yellow but just got new camera and wanted to try out lots of love.

2009-10-20T19:17:00.000-07:00

got a new camera thanks to alex my love and a new box of hair color what do you think I think I am addicted brown is definitely in. Garen is still in his oral stage trying to bite me but not as much we just finally ordered his hearing brain whatever therapy for his magnified hearing to stimulate proper function. I dont know really what Im talking about until I see it happen. We closed the house in utah and now we only own one house and one mortgage yaaaaa!! Lately really low with illness and feeling ugly so i colored hair to get me out of pjs and make up can sometimes help. I think I need to fit the make up in more often so I dont feel so well old.

2009-10-09T15:16:00.000-07:00

ok well it took some playing around but i figured how to get my phone pictures on google. Sprint makes it so hard they will let you send them to facebook but not download them to your computer only order from them so I hope I am not stealing so these are doubles from facebook. Now that I have sorta of a camera I will try to take more pics to send to blog. Right now I have a sore throat either from yelling or from being sick. I am going to work at the temple tonight with alex from 9-12 at night fun date So hopefully I can get better. Lately I have been having a really hard time. I am going to the temple once a week to help me stop yelling and be a better mom. I feel like I am being walked all over. I read my baby book my mom wrote of how sweet I was and it makes me sad because where did I go. I come home and only some of my kids a very small amount completely ignore and yell at me. I feel like I need to love this individual more but the more I give I feel like this person walks all over me then I turn mean and I hate who I am when I get so upset. it breaks my heart.

2009-07-28T16:41:00.000-07:00

happy b-day bevan the kids went to another girls bday and they had a petting zoo and I thought of you plus I broke our camera so this is the last of the digital pics until I talk myself into buying another. And I am so cheap so who knows when that will be. Just to say a little about my big bro. He was the best example of first born. Which was keeping is little sister(Me) thoroughly entertained he made me so happy. He still makes me laugh until I cry and he is a great hubby and daddy. I tell my boys especially Riley always about bevan and what he did for us. His unselfish attitude towards everything. And his joy in life and always helping us have fun with anything.

2009-07-24T15:07:00.000-07:00

just a moment of the years to come AUGGHHHH!!! but they do look cute but no make up till thirty

2009-07-04T11:49:00.000-07:00

Kalen's Baptism: Well one beautiful day we arrived right on time filled the tub and waited for the guests. When who would appear but Garen and his yelling screaming and pulling the fire alarm where we exited the extremely cool church to the scorching outside to wait for the alarm to stop. So the fire trucks came and with a smile on his face
garen was able to make a special day even better for kalen. We then finished the lovely meeting and left to get Kalen's ears pierced(thankyou abuelita/abuelito sarabia)
Miss all and hope to see soon.

2009-07-03T19:42:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to say thank you thank you and TH-ANK YOU(for bevan who says I say it wrong)
everyone was sooo thoughtful and made me feel soo loved and I even wore a dress for alex ( he says I never wear them) so I had to get it on pictures and high heals (i always wear these sandals flat so I don't trip) I am a not cordinated. But I miss and love you all. It was a wonderful Birthday I am now 53 dont I look good for 53 oh ya im 35 well there is alway surgery.

just some pictures during kalen's family b-day wow 8 on the 27th I am getting old. sorry only could get 5 in the picture the others crashed it was around eleven.

2009-06-26T20:00:00.000-07:00

Happy 8th B-Day to the such a sweet affectionate baby girl. She is such a touchy girl with a lot of emotion. Kalen I am soooo happy Heavenly Father gave me you. You have helped me to be more affectionate and I know you will teach me one day to be a little more girly. For those of you who don't know Kalen she can beat any boy in a race with high heals. She raced her older brother by 5 years and he had to bang into her to beat her and she still tied him and that was her 4th race in a row. She is the type of sweet spirited girl that can make you feel a whole lot better with a simple tender loving look and hug. She's definitely a daddy's girl! The boys better be careful because daddy owns a SHOTGUN and a variety of other weapons.(that part was from her dad)

2009-06-26T19:07:00.000-07:00

just a little kitchen hockey

2009-05-27T19:29:00.000-07:00

we had some girl time the girls try to put make up on me and did my hair and then put make up on themselves which only lasted about two minutes where they then wiped it all off. I guess a bit too like me. Alex wrote me the most amazing letter out of the blue I wanted to cry he has never been like that I realized he is an unbelievable writer I don't think he ever knew he was. But I adore, admire and i am utterly in love with my husband and he is dang cute too.

2009-05-24T16:56:00.000-07:00

how do i look eighty and my husband looks 18 still ok maybe 21 well at least he is blind to my oldest. well I read the version of edwards story of twilight and oh my gosh I feel like a teenager alex said he would be my edward well I twilight series is the only romance novels I have read but it sure beats the lonely history Ive been into lately and health books for my diseaseAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!! I have slept I think 3 times in two months why am I not dead yet but it sure is taking a toll on my face. just think second coming I will look young again and my breast will rebound from off the floor.. thankyou for all the bouncing nursing babies.

2009-05-24T16:26:00.000-07:00

some time in the sun at our splash pad. Sorry I've been so behind in blogging.
Well I came home with some form of poison oak or ivy. It spread across my body and went systemic which means went through my blood. Well I went to a dermatologist and a md who both didn't figure it out until it spread through my body I went to my natural store walked in and they said wow you got poison ivy/oak for 30 bucks I was able to stop the spread of uncontrolable itching I spent over 300 dollars at doctors for them to say I dont know looks like an allergic reaction and then gave me cream that I was allergic to and made it feel like an acid burn. Well two months later I am still trying to clean my blood from this poison I have to do it slowly because of nursing so I have only done two one day cleanses. Also to just let you all know Riley who I am so proud of is finishing his first 9 day cleanse which is really two days of cleansing 5 days of food and 2 more days of cleansing. Well he already lost ten pounds and looking great. We got back from our trip and he ate like there was no tomorrow especially and alex's moms house who kept downing him with every known junk you could eat well he came back with a tire and felt like crap so I told him if he changed his eating I would let him cleanse but he was not going to do the alex thing where he cleanses before a trip drops weight just to eat like a cow. Now for all of you who think I don't eat no one in the house eats more than me my food is just good for you but you should see the plates of food I eat. ok I will send the recital video soon when it gets forward to me the kids were awesome.

2009-02-16T19:27:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday to the sweetest baby ever for sleeping through the night. She also caused me the worst pain ever but we will not go into that. I still can't believe one year ago daddy delivered her in our bathtub without any midwifes around just the boys hiding behind the couch afraid for my life and braeley comforting me while I died. She always knows when I need someone. Actually Alex I don't think realized I was going to die he was making a fort out of his work papers all over the floor 5 minutes before. love you all we leave in two weeks for our trip Riley made Kylar some home made doughnuts because I never celebrate baby birthdays because they dont care just the older kids do.

2009-02-10T12:53:00.000-08:00

a little baby she wont show off for me.

2009-02-10T08:40:00.000-08:00

Garen has not been talking and just gibberish I found out about www.nacd.org which specializes in brain development with all kids and adults. Garen reacted to the mercury in the shots and would be considered autistic if I were to label him but now after just listening the the tapes and applying part of what they teach in the beginning tapes he is doing this yes reading and hes three. I am planning on taking him in for the full scan where they tailor a program just for him. We want all are kids in. Check them out and make sure to tell them emily referred you I am hoping they will give a discount if people refer so more people can afford to put all there kids in not just one. But oh my gosh you have to check out there website and listen to the video section. ok love you emily ps kylar is doing it also. (the reading part)

2009-02-06T18:54:00.000-08:00

IVE GOT THE PERFECT MAN!!!!

I know when you're apart you realize what you have. But Id just like to say he has always been perfect for me. From the first moment I saw him it was like FIRE!! And I know we have had alot of good and bad fires in our marriage. I would not take any of them back. My husband has been such a support for me. He has never discouraged me from any of my crazy ideas. He was my biggest fan when I met him, he was the only guy who didn't try to compete with me. I love that he would rather hang out with me then a bunch of guys. He loves having kids and who knows how many we will have. He is sooo humble and doesnt do the whole ego thing alot of men have. In fact that is usually is problem he is too nice but I love that about him. He wants to take care of me and make me happy and that is truly what makes him happy. I always say hes my biggest child but that is what makes him sooo good and so great at what he does, everyone trusts him. He is my hero for letting me stay home always and support 7 kids and never making me feel I should work. He thinks my job is 100 times harder than his and he will cook me what ever I want. Ps. I miss that he is a wonderful cook He is a very passionate man and I am grateful he helped me become more affectionate. He also makes the cutest kids . He says I make them the hairiest but I love a huge head of dark hair on a baby. I miss our weekly dates and is beautiful hands. I love to watch him with our children and they are his biggest fans. I love that he tries to teach me how to dance and although I step on his toes he still holds me close. (HE CAN DANCE)
He is good to say he is sorry and forgives all my moods, power kicks, dumping of the crud in the house, pregnancy stuff. He cleans and give massages ok well I miss you alex and Im sorry that I live in my pjs(athletic wear)come home and I will change into something more comfortable, love emily

2009-02-02T21:30:00.000-08:00

chaos without daddy or was daddy the chaos the kids miss wrestling with you. I love you

2009-02-02T21:00:00.000-08:00

kids miss you too!!!

2009-02-02T20:23:00.000-08:00

we miss you alex

2009-01-26T18:18:00.000-08:00

ok well sorry I never write those really interesting comments. Well Im always busy I seem to get my life easy and then I really make myself busy. But I think that is just me I like to be busy I stress and then I resolve it and then Im over it. Some days are bad but its more like a moment in my day. So overall I am realllyyyy reallllyyyy happy but I miss my family. Alex has been gone for a month fixing our house that our renters trashed but Its weird but normally that would have stressed me but I actually am at peace. Heavenly Father has truly blessed me with peace lately. This place "Texas" just is very peaceful but I know my husband has truly taken things off my shoulders and taken care of me. I have prayed for peace and Heavenly Father threw it over to Alex and he stepped up and he is soooo great with pressure people problems everything. I am just good at kids or at least making them. Homeschooling is so rewarding..even though I swear I mess it up a million ways it just can't go wrong when you are depending on Heavenly Father and the holy ghost to be their eternal teacher. This just gives me sooo much peace in what to do next or what not to stress about. When I read my scriptures daily I am at peace when I am off(alex being gone) things get a little stressed but my kids are so dang good. If I want a day off my kids would cook clean let me nap massage me degut the house and they are always forgiving my yo-yo moods( alex gone) We plan to start our long drive the first week of march and arrive in utah around the 8th stay a couple days go to logan stay a couple more days
head to washington stop over at Nathan's(haven't told him yet) go to spokane middle march then down to battleground and then down to Cali then back to utah for another week. And then cry the whole way home. ps. this is Kylar walking alex has not seen her walk yet.

2009-01-26T16:35:00.000-08:00

2008-11-07T12:36:00.000-08:00

ok so I think Garen is an animal whisperer. He is sooo weird. He wont talk he never ate anything off the floor yet will wipe his poop all over the wall when he was younger. He has nooo fear of animals even Huge barking dogs he walks up and puts his hand right up to their mouth. Well we go to this ranch for a birthday party and their were horses cows etc. Well he climbs right on this horse which he has never seen or ridden and then goes off without anyone holding on. When the lady tried to take him off he wouldn't let her then switched to the next pony. I have no idea how he is going to sunbeams in January he totally does his own thing in nursery. Never really does what they want unless he wants to. Oh well I thought I should hold him back a year. I homeschool so I can do what I want so we will tell him he is 2. We are going to go on a trek thru utah, idaho then Washington and down to California thru the month of march until conference when hopefully we will be back to utah to see the prophet. Ps. Please pray for our President the Lord can change anyones heart even the very wicked. I believe if we pray, all pray we can see a change in heart but it needs to start with our heart softening. Not agree with wrong but praying for right. Ok Love you all emily

2008-10-01T19:49:00.000-07:00

we miss you all I will write when I have more time just got some photos taken. love em

2008-08-05T18:22:00.000-07:00

just a few more pics. Garen is still mute or verryyy veryyy stubborn. He just turned three and says only "leave me alone" "go away" "excuse me" "eat now" and some other commands. A year ago he at least was calling me mom now he just barks at me and says come on. ps. I wanted to show how different Kylar looks when she smiles her nose crinkles up and her eyebrows lift .

2008-08-05T18:08:00.000-07:00

Howdy folks. Well we went through our first hurricane and we got a generator water and lots of gas. And of course no power outage and alex had to go to work. BOOORRRINGGGG(as bevan used to say) so maybe next time. We are having fun here in good ol texas. Gas is cheap or at least cheaper. Jobs are everywhere and the summer has been great. Im still waiting for the terrible summers but so far I think it is great. Yes I am still homeschooling. I am also trying to figure out about every herb(healing and cooking) of course we are in the doughnut castle of the world and only one health store is here so I have to check in books for answers. I miss you all and I plan on nursing till kylar is 5 just to get the stares.

I just want mybrothers to know how much I miss them.
It was so much fun to live next to Bevan it reminded me
of when we played when I was younger. I miss chris
terribly because we are the closest in age and I we had
one year of high school together which I loved. I want
to be as close to my brothers as I am now with my
sisters. And well Fenton was the baby so besides
being so funny and looking like an 8 year old when
he was 14 I miss him to and now we are so far away.
Soon I hope we will find a way to be all together.
So lets buy camp nauvoo and live off the land.
Except maybe giving my kids salmonella Im pretty
good in a garden so far. love you sooooo much

Hi This is Emily, and this is my first blog like most people say. This is Kylar Sarabia the latest addition to the fam. She sleeps through the night if I keep stuffing her pacifier back in. Her hair is all falling out
and no longer looks indian or mexican.
