Pregnant

Just wanted to let everyone know we are expecting a baby in June.

Christina keeps telling me I have a sister in my tummy. The boys aren't sure if we are pregnant because I am not big and showing. They are starting to believe me so Dillon has been trying to make breakfast in the mornings and keeping everyone else quiet so I can sleep.

Christina has taken to calling herself a horse. It varies from day to day what name goes along with horse if it's Gail or Princess or Butterfly. She also has the boys come up with animal names to go by form puppy, snake, dragon, or a horse too. It's fun to watch them interact and play together. I love being a mom.

Since we have been on post we walk or ride our bikes every where. It's amazing to see my boys abilities grow from day to day. When we first moved on base Kray could hardly ride his bike and know he is out there in the lead.

P.S. Christina just told me her name is puppy. LOL

For Labor Day we drove out to a sea port with Navy ships that you could climb on. We went with a group of friends from church. It was lots of fun. I think the kids had more fun when we got off the boats and they got to play in an airplane, AAV7(military truck that goes in the water to carry marines) and dress up us army men and run around with toy guns. It was great to get out and spend the day with friends.

Boys First day of School

Kray 2nd, Joe 1st, and Dillon 3rd. grade.



Every year we take back to school pictures but something always goes wrong and they don't turn out. This year I was in Seoul watching my friends little boy after she had her baby so I didn't get to see the boys. I think that is why the pic. turned out this year. Here's to a great school year.

Vactaion

Spencer took to weeks of leave. It was great we had plans to go and see Korea. We ended up staying home and having lots of relaxing family time. We moved on post the week before his leave started so we were able to get our house put together. Our friends the Coxs also started their leave so we did hang out a lot with them. I did some sewing projects. I will post pic. later. We took the kids swimming and went to Ever land. We also taught the kids to play SkipBo. It has become our new favorite game until we went to the thrift shop and Dillon got a battle game. You battle by rolling dice. Kray was the undefeated Champ until I played with them and then I won. We are loving it on post. The kids have lots of other kids to play with and I can walk any where.

I had to go grocery shopping the other day and Spencer decided I should push the cart home. I told him he should come and pick Christina, Joe and I up since we were going to story time first and Christina always rides her bike to the library with her friend Sophia. He said no. So I told him he could come pick us up, walk over and push the cart home or I would take a taxi. He decided to push it home himself. It was fun to watch him. One of the hills we have to walk down he decided to ride the cart. I was thinking what is he teaching our kids but he had fun and the boys had fun trying to catch a ride. I love being a Mom and wife every day. My family amazes me more and more.

Bed Time Reading

I told my boys they could read in bed last night. When I came in Dillon and Kray were both reading the scripture readers that we have. Dillon was reading the Book of Mormon and Kray was reading the Old Testament.  Joe had on the floor a comic book that I found about the Book of Mormon. I love seeing my kids choose to read the scriptures on their own.

Org day face paintings

We went to Org day with Spencer and the kids got their face's pained. Dillon didn't want to because he was watching the rc races. I think they did a great job on their faces.
