My mom has been back and forth between Kanab and home. My grandparents are trying to move from Kanab up to northern utah soon to be around all of their kids. They're house needed some updating so my mom and dad have been going down to help do tile, paint and try to update their house so it will sale. after Madi stayed the night while Nick and I went to batman she stayed with me one of the nights my parents were in Kanab. We had such a good time. We watched Footloose and ate lots of treats and then the next day we went shopping at city creek! </div>

Alexei has had quite the personality lately. She loves to watch Finding Nemo and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and play in the front room. Her favorite part of the day is when she gets to go outside and play hockey with dad. She loves walking down the ramp in our garage and walking straight to the hockey sticks. She's got a mind of her own! she hardly ever wants you to hold her! Shes starting to talk, She says "Mama" "Dada" (depending on if shes tired some times it (Dee Dee) "BaBa" "toodles" "hotdog" and a couple of other things :) </div>

We enrolled Alexei in a Parent-Tot gymnastics class at Black Diamond Gym in Daybreak. Its quite a far drive but i wasnt too pleased with the gym in north ogden so i figured it would be a drive no matter what gym we put her in. My Aunt works at Black Diamond and she was so excited that Alexei was coming there.</div>

<br /></div>Nick & Autumn Van Komenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06575290024358798490noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253389258163837963.post-3316666278707658752012-06-10T22:53:00.001-07:002012-06-10T22:53:47.085-07:00Late night thinking... It's good to grieve....right?I can't help but document how I'm feeling. Only for the fact that I need to let this out. Grieving is good right.....? I hope so. I can only grieve so much to nick without feeling like I annoy him. With that being said-if you get sick of reading this, be my guest and move on to something more exciting to read :)<br />
<br />
With that being said- I'm hurting inside tonight. Recently I have thought about entering my sweet little Alexei into some little girl beauty pageants (I will never be like the moms on toddlers and tiaras... Gag me) but just simple pageants. And as weird as this sounds - I'm upset because I can't walk across the stage with Alexei and be the one there for her. I get a lot of stares being a mom in a wheelchair (you wouldn't believe how many I get) I get so many questions about if I can take care of Lexei.... Yes I do say "nick help me with this" , "nick! Alexei crawled up the stairs! I can't reach her!" "nick do this" "nick do that"...... Sounds bossy.... Right? But I want all you able bodied mothers out there to remember how great you have it, as hard as life is it can always get worse, even for me. <br />
<br />
I remember the day after my accident waking up to my doctor and mother talking about my condition. If I could have kids, sensation, the ability of still having a "normal" life. And as he stood there and told my mom that I have absolutely zero chance of walking again.... As weird as it sounds-I was at peace. I knew everything would be fine. I LOVED to cheer and dance and tumble. But I wasn't as devastated <br />
as you would think I was. In the hospital I didn't grieve much. I was focused on getting back the movement I have and getting on with my life. And that I did. There's been a night here and there where I lay in bed with tears rolling down my face because I wish with all my heart I could walk. But after 5 minutes of that I think "Autumn he your act together and do something productive instead of laying here feeling sorry for yourself"..... <br />
<br />
I wish with all my heart I could chase Alexei when she tries to run away and get into things. I wish I could take her on the big toy at the Park. I wish I could walk across the stage at the pageants I'm entering her in. I wish that I could take her to a mommy and me dance class. THIS Is why I wish I could walk. Not for myself, for Alexei. <br />
<br />
I'm not one to let my emotions flow like this but I can't help but let all of this out. And what better of a place to do it than my blog and personal journal right? <br />
<br />
Right now all I can do is pray for a cure to spinal cord injuries, keep my chin up and take things day by day. I hope as Alexei grows things get easier for me to mentally handle. I hope she understands that it's not because I don't want to do these things, I just physically can't. <br />
<br />
<br />
I hope I hope I hope.<br />
I'm so thankful that I have such a darling little girl that loves me for the person I am, not my physical appearance. <br />
<br />
I love my little Alexei. <br />
<br />

I think too many people need to remember <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">who</span></i> said this. There are too many LDS and Non-LDS people out there these days that think they need to be the judge of everyones life. </div>

Hopefully this reminds you to be nicer to others, everyone has their own trials. </div>

Instagram and Twitter have been the bees knees for me lately. Not so much FaceBook.... So this morning when i was browsing around on twitter... this tweet came up on the top tweets... "Don't assume my posts are about you. But if you're affected, then that must mean you're guilty of something." I instantly smiled when i saw this post, of course retweeted and shared on instagram... I have been so sick of Facebook lately. Drama, Drama, Drama... "so and so thinks this is about them" and "so and so is offended by this" and "so and so has an opinion about this and that and this and that." seriously Facebook is all about Judging others lives. SO sick of it.<br />

i just need to take a deep breath and remember how happy i am. I am SO happy with life. I was way too worried about what others thought about me that i couldn't and didn't enjoy the little things in life. Life is so great right now. I have THE best husband in the world. He does everything he possibly can to provide for Alexei and I. he works so hard, Wakes up at 4:00 a.m. drives to SLC starts work at 5:00am and works until about 2:00 gets home around 3:00 pm... he is going going going all day and I'm so proud of him. He worked so hard to get a job with Pepsi and I'm so happy he finally did. He's loving his job, We have great benefits AND discounted Pepsi products haha j/k. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alexei is the best baby ever. She is seriously the highlight of my day. I look forward to every morning when she wakes up because i know the second i open the door to her room, she has a HUGE grin on her face so happy to see me. She is my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>best friend</i></span>. She loves me no matter what I'm wearing, how stressed out i am, what i say, or how bad of a mood I'm in. i love when she walks up to my leg and lays her head down on it giving me loves... and those kisses... i just cant get enough of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so blessed to have such a beautiful family. And i have to say that mine truly is the best. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love you Nicholas and I love you Alexei! </div>
