The Camacho Family

Sorry if the images are sideways, I tried to fix it.

Matthew and Ashleigh turned 4 yesterday. It only seems like yesterday that I found out I was pregnant for the first time, learning I was pregnant with twins, dying to end the pregnancy, to their birth and all the birthday's and milestone since.
Matthew, is a handsome young man. He is the care taker of his siblings and he loves them to death. He has a sense if humor and loves to laugh and play. He is a great sleeper but a terrible eater. He loves transformers, trains and legos. He loves to sing and he love temples.
Ashleigh is our princess. She is a little mommy and will take care of any child. She loves getting into trouble especially with water. The likes anything that is girly. She loves being with other kids, she loves her sibilings, she loves to just talk to you. She does not play with toys much but loves books, puzzles and coloring.
The twins are so fun, and We are so greatful that they chose to come into this family. We love you very much. I cannot wait to see what year 5 will bring.

Life in the Camacho home has been crasy, but we also have had some amazing things happening,
Two Sunday's ago, our ward had the Primary program. This was Matthew and Ashleigh's first year in it, since they are a sunbeam this year. We had both of our parents and one of Chris's brothers' come to watch the program. Ashleigh had 2 little lines and Matthew had one. Matthew was happy to sing. I could tell he really knew or liked a song because I could hear him at times. Asheigh was cute and being a typical 3 year old and had to wave to her family at the beginning. But after some piont both of them lost interest. One cute thing though, My in-laws were sitting one row in front on Chris and I and my parentd. At the point that the program started, Joshua was standing on my mother-in-laws lap and when Matthew and Ashleigh stood up to sing, Joshua got really excited and started saying (Ashleigh, Matthew, Ashleigh, Matthew) really loud. (He thinks it is great he can say his sibilings name, I think it is cute!). They did a wonderful job and I am so very proud of them. I cannot wait until next years program. (This is another milestone in their life.)
At the end of this week, my twins and first born will be turn 4. I cannot believe how fast these 4 years have flown. It was only yesterday it seems that I stuggled to get pregnant with them, finding out that I was pregnant, learned that I had twins, had a pregnancy that seemed to last forever, had two newborns and hardly getting sleep while feeling overwhelmed, to having 4 year olds. I am greatful to be their mom and they are a wonderful part of my life that I definitely would not change. I sure love them.
Last week, I went to see a new OBGYN, I visited with him about my PCOS, the pre-elcampsia of my last pregnancy, and would it be possible for me to have another pregnancy and have it turn out really well. He said that there should be no reasin why I could not. He gave me a ultra sound on my overies, and found that I am cyst free. That is a great feeling since I have had them all year. So, he gave me clomid and gave me the permission to have another child. It maybe crasy already have 3, but Chris and I know that this is right for our family. So stay tuned for a announcement sometime durning the winter.
Tonight, I was sitting on my couch working on a crochet blanket for Joshua, and all three kids were in there room. I am not sure what they were doing completely except for they would run room to room and slam doors (sorry to my neighbors if it was bothering you), and they were giggling including Joshua (who thinks his older sibilings are the greatest. It is a wonderful sound as a mother to hear your children getting along, playing together and laughing. (Music to my ears).
I also want to send my gratitude to my followers. After my last post, I recieved a knock at my door with a card left behind. Inside the card was a gift card to a local store, and it was left with no name. That weekend, I was able to use it to buy milk and a few other things for my children. Thank you, who ever you are. I hope that I have or will return the favor. You are forever in my prayers and my family is greatful. I am greatful also for my memebership and faith from my LDS church, over all the years that I have been on earth, I have recieved countless blessings. Even when things are tight like it is right now but you have faith, you pray, you pay your tithing, and you serve despite of what challenges are in your life, Heavenly Father blesses you and my family is reaping the benefit of our faith. If you are struggling with your faith pray to find it, if your a struggling with these hard times pray to help you get through. One thing that I know for sure, Heavenly Father and My Savior and brother is watching out for all of us, he just asks us to ask him for help, and for us to help each other. So, I say, thank you again.

When I picked up my children today at my in-laws in Draper, my mother-in-law gave this to me that she made in her Relief Society Enrichment activities. Isn't it darling. Matthew was so excited about it he wanted me to hang it up immediately. Thanks Patrea for making this for our family.

I firts like to say the the TWINS are POTTY TRAINNED!!!!! I am so excited. I started it two years ago and got very discourged many times, but they finally did it. We are also night trained too. They will be turning 4 in three weeks and it is times that they no longer wear diapers or pull-ups. I am so proud of them, and they feel pretty proud of themselves too.
Last Thursday, was Chris's birthday. he turned 29 so that means this year is his last years in his 20's so hopefully he will have no regrets. For his birthday, my mom came and watched the children so we could go out and celebrate. We ended up going and doing a session in the Jordan River Temple. It has been such a long time since we have been together as a couple that it was really nice. We have the impression that we are to invite another spirit into our home. I also hope that we can return to the temple together soon.
This weekend we general conference which was wonderful, I learned much from the leaders of the LDS church that I feel like I have more energy to stay true and faithful to the things in which I believe to be true. While conference was on, I took opportunity to deep clean the house, I looked nice Sat night when I was done. Also Joshua got a big boy bed (which was a spare we had). He even likes it especially the feeling that he is like his older brother and sister, plus he has stayed in it 3 nights in a row.
This is a really tight month for our family fanicially. We have our normal bills, plus our dues at the condo went up $15.00, had a $150.00 asessment this month with $100.00 more to go, a car to register that might not pass with out work done on it, a drivers licsence to renew, My husbands birthday that I was unable to buy presents for, My twins 4th birthday that I have no idea how I will come up with money for that, and halloween custumes. I was unable to buy groceries last weekend, and thanks to my mom she brought over some milk, and ground beef to help, (Thanks mom). Even though this is ruff and being a mom I feel like a complete failure that I might not be able to do everything this month that I need to, I have faith the my Heavenly Father will help us through this and that we will be fine. I am greatful for work that my husband and I have even if it does not bring in enough and that we have a roof over our heads, clothes to wear, some food to eat, and the love my family has for each other. I am greatful to our parents who are here in Salt Lake with us and that are helping us with what they can. Thank you for your love and help, you always need your parents even when you grow up.
