so the past few months have been hard on me (being sherry) both physically and emotionally. despite diets and exercise, i have failed to even lose a pound in fact I've put on weight. despite, expensive facial products, and even some medication, my face has continued to break out in what I've learned is called cystic acne. its been 16 months since I've been able to look in a mirror and smile at my reflection. if you don't know or have never seen what cystic acne is, google it. It is the hardest to cure, and the most painful form of acne. I currently have a cystic pimple about the size of a quarter at the base of my chin. the only way it will go away is to go into the doctor and they have to open it up and drain it out. leaving nice little scars all over my chin, from various removals, and the lesser pimples that did manage to go away themselves. my face will be scarred until i decided to go in and have a laser surgery to remove it. i have been warned by several people with my same problem. there is no cream to help lessen cystic acne scars. there is only surgery. one lady has spent more money on scar creams and lotions then she did on her laser surgery. and then there is the depression, its not enough that i look in the mirror and see all the weight that normally is easy for me to lose, still there and in fact gaining, and despite the fact that my face looks like the moons surface, i deal with depression daily. and no pill will help either. so, lets add these together, weight gain, severe cystic acne, depression, so much more that's a bit to much information for my friends, and add all the UTI's I've had to cope with over the past 16 months, and I've learned it is all the side effect of one thing,
my implanon. i have an implant in my arm, it is my birth control, i was told its one of the best forms of birth control out there, and that its been improved to have less side effects and more protection. they lied. every women i have talked to that has ever used implanon has suffered the same side effects i have, some have had it much worse. there was one lady i met whose implanon vanished one day. she had it a little over 2 years, she checked it religiously to make sure it was still where it needed to be, one day she checked and she couldn't feel it. she went into the doctor, and he couldn't feel it, they had to do an ultra-sound. nothing, so she went to a specialist, and after multiple ultrasounds and MRI's and other various scans and surgeries, they found it, leaving behind a 4 and a half inch scar wrapping around her arm, and thousands of dollars in bills. a routine surgery that shouldn't have consisted of more then a local anaesthetic, and a scar that would hardly be noticeable left her (as she described it) looking like she'd been mauled by a bear. so my warning to all my friends out there,,,DO NOT USE IMPLANON!!!!!! the doctors make it sound so nice, so worth it, so easy and no worries has become an absolute nightmare. DO NOT USE IT! my latest worry has been trying to find someone certified to remove it. I am OK, don't worry these side effects are nothing I've never handled before. and its nice to know that as soon as i find someone then it will be gone for good. and I'll be safe using something tried and true. so just a warning.. please please please please please PLEASE!!!! do not use implanon, honestly i'd rather be pregnant....and if you know me well, you know thats a fate worse then a life a without chocolate. and i love my chocolate.

amazingly fun and gorgeous idea for girls!!
-k- if you really want you can make these for your boys too, but i can guaranty they'll get made fun of... so for the most part....girls only.. ok heres the story, a few weeks ago cory's grandmother passed away, and corys mom went to her funeral. when she came back she told me that a few of corys cousins were making these beautiful hair bows for them and their girls. i had to try, and i love it so im passing this knowledge on! first what you need is some fake flowers like these...
or any flower that you can pull apart.. pull the center out of the flower, or pull the back off the flower, whatever type of fake flower it is, basically take it apart..
you can also go to a hobby lobby, or Michaels, or even Roberts, and find flower parts in the scrap booking isle... anywho, after the flower has been taken apart, it looks like these bits and pieces
you can also get some really cute scrap booking brads. they come in all shapes and sizes in fact im going back tomorrow to buy the ones that are shaped like tiara's...
you also need clips, the snappy clips work best, they don't have to be anything special if you can find the plain silver ones they'll do. no one's going to see them... what you do is in the middle of all the flower bits is a little hole. get the colors you want and sizes and what not, and make em all pretty, stick the brad through the center hole, the put the brad through the hole in the clip and bend the prongs to keep it in place. and wah-lah!
a beautiful bow! you and your gorgeous girl can have flowers in your hair all the time! and the best part is, you can take em apart and rebuild, mix and match, create and re-create! today i bought the clips, a box of scrap booking flower parts, the brads, and two fake flowers ( and a bag of easter candy....yum..) for under 20 bucks and I've already made 10 different hair bows...try buying 10 different hair bows as big and beautiful as these, for under 20.. seriously... its sooooo exciting! and its fun!! give it a try.. i dare ya. :) and if you do try, i want pictures, and leave a post to let me know how you like it. any, we are going to the park to show off our handy work.. LOVES! enjoy the rest of the cuteness!

WE LIVE!!!
Good news! We are alive!!
First off i'd like to apologize to all those people out there who are avid Anderson fans and have wasted away waiting news on our situations...:)....honestly nothing new for sherry. still working at the book store, which she loves, but she wished they'd quit messing with her hours...cory is working hard at school! he's doing so well, his English teacher absolutely loves him, she says its nice being able to read his papers without having to stop every other word to correct something.
And he's doing just as well in all of his other classes. I'm so proud of my straight "A" student!
Nikoy and Kaylee are LOVING living in their own house, they absolutely love the fact that we aren't sharing walls with strange people, and that they can be noisy in their rooms without having to worry about disturbing people! we all love this house its a fantastic first house. look I have pictures of us getting it ready for our stuff to be moved in, check it out..
When we first got here the living room was an ugly puke green, the color had to go, it didn't match my door hanger my mommy made us..:)
so we laid the boy down for some sleepies (ain't he adorable??) and got started.
Nikoy and Kaylee were such big helps, I was so proud.
stretch that plastic! my nice "new" (for me at least) carpet doesn't need a new coat of paint just yet..
After all our stuff got here we set up the toddler beds and learned something that was a rather big deal to me. Nikoy has grown so much, her head and feet touched the head and foot board of the toddler bed...my baby's not a toddler anymore! so we bit the bullet and got bunk beds..... they LOVE them!!
this was cadens first night in a crib. an actual crib, not a port-a-crib, not a playpen, or a blankie on the floor, an actual crib, and he knows he's got room to spare!
My baby boy has teeth!! he cut his two bottom teeth a few weeks ago, now as of Tuesday he's got two top teeth broken through!! hooray!
yes, I admit I have more pics on here of mainly Cayden, its just so I can brag about how big he's getting, my 8 month old tank has hit the 20 pound mark...nice huh?
His first Bitter biscuit. oh he made a mess, a huge messy mess...
we did our own family pics in our own backyard (we have a backyard!!) and they turned out beautifully! here's my handsome man, a bit drooly I admit, but hey whataya gonna do?
here's the ever lovely Kaylee Jaynn, such a ham..:D She's getting so big, she's not so much a toddler anymore either... and the sad thing is the bigger she gets the more beautiful she gets, what am i gunna do??!?
and last but should have been first...:D.... Nikoy Lynn! she's too beautiful for her own good, I decided Im just going to have to lock her away till she's 30....
and heres the lot of us. Cayden was a super grump, so ignore the look of "why isnt there a bottle in my mouth" on his face. I promise you he got over it. so anywho, that's it for the pictures.. we've all been doing great lately, Cayden grows and inch every time I look away, Nikoy and Kaylee are always getting mad at people for asking them if they are twins. Nikoy fold hers arms and says, "no we're not, im 5 and she's 3." and they quickly apologize, its awful cute. well thats all the news i have for now, enjoy the update! LOVES!!!

From the desk of Mr. Mom!
Well things have been very up in the air for us lately. Like walking through a thick fog not knowing what is on the other side. Sherry and I have switched places for a little while. We are still living in San Antonio, TX. Sherry is working full-time as a Book Specialist/Cafe Manager at a book store called Books-A-Million. She is working and doing a fantastic job in the last month not only has she been promoted but she is runs the stores cafe and all its workings. She is pulling sometimes 10 - 12 hour shifts back to back to help get us back on our feet and being the holidays is even more of a challenge for her.
I am attending College locally in hopes of being accepted into the Nursing program at the University of Texas. I was planning of a career in Law enforcement, but it just isn't where I see myself. I have wanted a medical career ever since I was a teenager, and with the help of my military benefits I will be able to push through to a Bachelors with my only worry being what grade I'm getting.
We have been looking for a place to live... somewhere that we can settle in for at least 2 to 4 years. As the Holidays approach homes, and even apartments are becoming more difficult to locate, at least in the areas we want.
Nikoy is doing great. She is like a dry sponge taking in every bit of knowledge she can understand, and even some she doesn't. We have set up a game where every day she is given a new vocabulary word regardless of how big it is, and by the end of the week she is tested on what she remembers. The last word she was given was inconspicuous, and she surprised us by using it today. She is excited for Santa and can wait to see if she was truly a good girl this year. Something tells me she may very well be on the nice list. We are looking into hopefully getting her into a late preschool prep to help prepare her for starting kindergarten next fall. I guess we can only wait and see if it works how we want.
Kaylee is growing so fast. She wants to be a big girl like her sister, but at the same time be the baby still. She asked Santa for the one thing I think that every little girl asks the Jolly man for, "a Pony." We will see if Santa lives up to her expectations. Who knows maybe he will come through for her.
Shaun or Cayden to me, is growing to fast. He is not even 6 months old and we are searching the city for any clothing at least 12 months. Our big Chunk is starting to roll and use his arms and legs regularly. He has even mastered the art of eating French Fries, and getting them everywhere.
Well, there is not much else left to say about us except, we love you all. Merry Christmas and Happy New year! Hope to see you all next year!!!

Cory got me the new Nintendo DS i, and a few games, although i LOVE the camera feature on it! i didn't even know these things existed until a few weeks ago ( Germany is still in the dark ages....) but i have already conquered Zelda and the phantom hour glass, (go me!!) and i am currently enjoying the peace of Sim animals..:) no still no pet foxes yet....grrrrrrr...anywho.. we also went out to the tower of America in downtown San Antonio and we got to sit in a window seat and watch the city as the tower slowly spun around it was awesome!! and the steaks are AMAZING..i do plan on going back..:) any who.. nothing else really to report all is well, we are doing great just living day to day... we love you all and hope to see you soon!! enjoy few pics on me..:) trust me there would be HUNDREDS, this isn't my computer, and i don't know the software well enough to edit any of the pictures yet,,, I'm working on it..:)

Cory got me the new Nintendo DS i, and a few games, although i LOVE the camera feature on it! i didn't even know these things existed until a few weeks ago ( Germany is still in the dark ages....) but i have already conquered Zelda and the phantom hour glass, (go me!!) and i am currently enjoying the peace of Sim animals..:) no still no pet foxes yet....grrrrrrr...anywho.. we also went out to the tower of America in downtown San Antonio and we got to sit in a window seat and watch the city as the tower slowly spun around it was awesome!! and the steaks are AMAZING..i do plan on going back..:) any who.. nothing else really to report all is well, we are doing great just living day to day... we love you all and hope to see you soon!! enjoy few pics on me..:) trust me there would be HUNDREDS, this isn't my computer, and i don't know the software well enough to edit any of the pictures yet,,, I'm working on it..:)
