Sand Doon

This weekend my mom and sister came for a visit and while they were hear we went to the sand doon Amanda has been wanting to climb it for ever.
Amanda, Alexis,Aaron and Ethan all made it to the top it was fun for them and funny for me to watch!

our crazy life

Well, things are crazy. We have started our two week count down until our move and boy OH boy!
I hate moving, cleaning out closets going through the kids stuff and getting ready for the movers to come in and move us. It is a big pain in the A*#.
Alexis is okay with the move for now but it is starting to get to Ethan he asks a lot of questions and the fear of the unknown is getting to him. He is acting out and doing his best to make me crazy.

How much do you think Evie wieghts?

Well I took Alexis and Evie to the doctors today for there 7 year old and 4 month old Check ups.Ethan just got to tag along, and cause trouble.By the time I left Ethan had made the visit such a trial I was ready to cry.He is testing me so much lately He is in full treble two mode!
Alexis is doing great she is healthy and looking good.She had to get a finger prick and that was the end of the world. But buy the time I dropped her off at school it was forgotten.
Evie is doing great also! She weights a whole 14 lbs 7 oz. She is my smallest Baby ever! At the same age Alexis and Ethan were almost 18lbs. She had to get shots and she was not happy about it at all . They are all healthy and ready to move to Fallon!

Not much to tell

Nothing really exciting here. Yesterday we went swimming with Amy's kids and Alexis and Ethan had a blast. When I told them we'd get a pool at our new house they were so excited.
Today Aaron took the kids to the beach I wasn't feeling to well so I stayed home with Evie. They had so much fun and came home covered in sand.

A moving update

We found out today that Aaron will not be going on deployment until early 2009 but that he will be in and out of our life's soon after we get to Fallon. He will be traveling back and forth between Fallon and Virgina for training and other stuff. Right now I'm okay with it all, but that may change.
I keep reminding myself that it could be worse and that I'm a strong women. But then I start to doubt myself. Well only time will tell.

What a day!

You know those moms you see in the store, with the kids having a total break down. And the mom is tiring so hard not to cry that she starts laughing. We've all seen them, felt for them and tried not to stare or criticize.Today I was that Mom! in target Ethan decided life was just to much for him and when I wouldn't carry him life was over. Yes my sweet normally very cooperative baby boy turned into a MONSTER form a nightmare! He took off the sandles I was buying him (that just two minutes before were the best thing ever) He wouldn't sit down in the stroller so I had to practically sit on him to buckle him up. My friend Amy was with me and she was tiring to help me and the two of us barely manged to get him in. He (being way to smart) managed to unclip the over the shoulder harness and stand up and continue to scream! I was just tiring to keep him in there so I could pay and leave. Not wanting to stay and inflict my suffering on any one else. Needless to say he got so worked up he almost throw up. He cried all the way to the car but was magically fine once in his car set. For him the hole thing was over and forgotten and I was traumatized. My back is now hurt and I am exhausted! when he went down for a nap I could of cried with joy!! But nap time was over to soon and he is now at this very moment bugging his sister and they are both screaming at each other!
And this is life!! and tomorrow is a new day!

Happy things!!

I got EXCITING news today, one of my dearest friends is going to have a BOY!!! She has two girls already and her and her hubby have wanted a boy badly!! They are such good people and deserver all the happiness they can get SO YEAH for them!!!

Ethan AKA MR fix it!

Ethan was fixing the wall he told me that "we don't want it to fall on us mama" It was cute he walked around for about an hour fixing different things, and asking me if there was anything else I needed him to fix. I of course obliged him asked him to fix all kinds of things.

Alexis's 1st grade picture

This is my new all time favorite picture of Alexis.
She has her eyes open and a real smile on her face!!
I don't normally buy school pictures but I bought this one!

Elkhorn Slough trip

We went on a family hike in the Elk horn wild life preserve Sunday before last, the hole family!!
It was Evie's first hike and big surprise she slept through the hole thing. Alexis and Ethan had a great time. Ethan's favorite part was throwing rocks into the ocean. Alexis liked crossing the brigades. Aaron and I just enjoyed watching them have fun.
When we got back to the car and did a tick check We found one on Ethan, YIKES!! with his allergies we weren't sure what would happen but when we looked closer we saw that it had not bitten him yet, talk about lucky!! But still I was a little traumatized All I could think about was what it he stop breathing? What if I have to use his EPI pin? But he was fine and once I started breathing again so was I. When we got home we were cold tried and hungry but we had a nice time.

Evie is 4 months old today

Well I can't believe it but Evie is 4 months old. It's weird because sometimes it feels like she has always been here and other time it feels like I was pregnant yesterday! She has become so much a part of who we are as family now. I cant image life with out her.

Okay day two of the blog and I'm blogging Yeah!! We talk to the housing office in Fallon and its looking good for us to get a house right after we get there instead of 2 month in a hotel!! yeah!!!
I so glad i was not looking forward to living in one room with 3 kids for more then a few days. A few days is long enough!!
Other then that life is chugging along as usual.
Happy mothers (Late I know) to all my MAMA'S!!!
I love you all

Here's what new

Okay let’s see, Well Alexis is loving baseball she may not be the best player but she's the most enthusiastic one. First grade is almost over and she's doing fine YEAH!! She has become quite the little DIVA and her favorite pass time is driving my nuts but all in all she is a good girl and we are lucky to have her in our lives.
Ethan is to smart for MY own good!! He has figured out every kind of baby gate out there so I can’t keep him out of the kitchen. He can open every baby proofing door gizmos that most adults can’t.
He has way to much energy I wish I could bottle it and sale it I’d be RICH! I can't wait until we get to Fallon and he starts preschool.
Evelynn is great, she rolled over for the first time the other day I don't know who was more surprised her or me? She is a happy baby and a good sleeper I can’t believe she is almost 4 months old! Were does the time go??
Aaron's good he can't wait to move he hates his job here. I think the change will be very good for him. Me on the other hand I’m not too excited about moving. I hate having to start over make new friends. And the kids are not to sure about moving so I have that to deal with too.
On top of it all Aaron will deploy so that will be a new one. Something I'm scared of but I'll make do.

We are very busy with getting ready to move. We leave in a month June 12 for those I haven't told. Thing are crazy but good!

Our Crazy life

Well everyone keeps asking me how the kids are, how things are with getting ready for our move and more. So I have decide to start this blog. You all can check it when ever you want to see what we're up too. I'll do my best to keep in update everyday.I hope this will keep everyone in the loop and this way I don't have to worry that I forgot to tell someone something.
My love to you all,
Melissa
