extra extra

So I figured it has been awhile since I have updated this thing, and it's Sunday, I might as well.  So we moved about 3 weeks ago into one of our buddies house who moved back to Montana.  We are enjoying being back in a house and not in a tiny apartment anymore. Jaxson loves having a back yard to play in, he is growing like a weed, and talking a little bit more.  Maddie is now 6 months, but she won't be seeing the doctor until next month due to the Navy Hospital being super busy right now.  She is still sleeping thru the night and takes about 3 naps a day.  She is eating stage 2 baby food, and the only thing she doesn't like is squash suprisingly.  She rolls every where and is now sitting up on her own.  My guess she will be crawling within the next month or so. She is always happy and smiling unless she is hungry or tired, or gets frustrated because she can't figure out how to get to something that is not within her reach.  I am doing good, this pregnancy is going good, haven't been to sick, just mostly tired.  I am due Feb 6, and I go in on the 19th to find out whether it's a boy or a girl.  Dustin wants another boy, me I wouldn't mind another girl, but really I am fine with either one as long as the baby is healthy and gets here on time.  Dustin is doing good, the Navy is keeping him busy, he was gone for 7 days in August to do some fire fighting training up in the mountains.  He is suppose to be gone for about a month starting in October to do more training at Camp Penldton.  But he may not have to go due to having a hernia.  Other than that, not alot is happening on our end, although last Sunday we did experience two earthquakes.  But I will update again next month after Madison 6 month appointment.

more at 6 months!!

oh boy...

SURPRISE!!! Yes we are expecting again and what a surprise it is...very very unexpected as of right now the estimated due date is Feb 11, 2013, but I go in for an ultrasound on July 3rd and we will know the exact due date.  So this one and Maddie will be about 12 months apart, very close.  We are excited and over whelmed for this next arrival.  I will keep you guys updated!! :)

yes we are still alive

it's been awhile..but thought i would update you on what is going on in our lives right now, most recently dustin made e-5 he is getting frocked on thursday (maddie and i will be there).  i am still in school finished my first class last week with a b-..not too bad for my first online class..i start tomorrow today actually.  i am also looking into getting licensed thru the state to become a home day care provider and try and work for the navy, i am pretty excited about it.  it means i will still be able to stay home with jaxson and madison and go to school but be able to earn some extra income.  we are going to be moving again at the end of july (we are moving into a friends house who is moving back to their home state).  jaxson is growing like a weed and slowly starting to talk more, maddie is getting big, she goes in for her 4 month check up at the end of this month,,she is getting better at lifting up her head, and she scoots around when you put on a blanket..she tries to push herself onto her side, she hasn't figured out how to roll over yet, but hopefully soon.  i guess that's all for now..short but sweet. more at the end of this month.

Happy as a clam

My heart is full..especially today since it is mother's day.  I am so greatful for these two and the fact that they choose me to be their mom.  I couldn't ask for anything more, and so long I wanted to be a mom and they made it happen.  I hope and pray that I can be a good example to them both as my mom has been to me over the years!! I am greatful for my own mom and the love she has shown me over the years.  She has helped me become the mom I am hoping to be and know I can.  I know I am going to make mistakes, I am not perfect, but I hope that Jaxson and Madison will always know that I love them no matter what they do or where they go in their lives.

Mother's Love
