Man Time Flies

So I have not been good at all updating the blog, since I sent Aaron the laptop I can't stay up late in bed and blog and surf anymore :(
He was telling me the other day that he was looking at our blog and how much he missed the kids. Which than he told me to update it. So here hun I am updating the blog.
Dakota has been having a really hard time lately with Daddy being gone. He has been going into HUGE fits and wanting to punch and kick me when he is mad. I have talked to his two therapist and they both thought I should have him see a behaviorist and that is what he will be doing. I actually go and see one on Wednesday to talk about what is going and to see when can met with her. He also will be seeing the School behaviorist and I hope that with their help and the help from the Lord that he will be able to put his anger feeling in the right place, and trust that Aaron and I are telling him.
He is such a wonderful little boy and is a true blessing to our family. He getting better with his speech and loves going to his new speech class. He also started preschool today and LOVED it. Which we are praying will help him understand and cope with life a little better. He is in school for 4 days Monday - Thursday 12:30 to 3 so I get a good break which today Kingston and I took a well needed nap. I had planned on doing some work and cleaning up the house, but my body was telling me different so I snuggled Kingston and we both slept it was great!
Kingston on the other hand is doing great with Daddy being gone, he loves to see pictures of Daddy and talking to Daddy on the phone. He has turned into a biter, I don't' know if that is because he is cutting 5 or 6 teeth but when he gets mad at Me or Kodi he will bit you and it hurts. But when Kodi is having a fit Kingston will come and put his little arms around my neck and give me a great big hug. The Lord knew I needed Kingstons little spirit to give me more strength and to remind me why I wanted to be a mom when life is so very hard.
I am trying my best to keep my head up and keep my spirits up for the kids. At times it's hard and I don't want to, but most of the time I will pray to the lord for help and he gives it to me.
Aaron has started this Labs this week and we are down to less than a month until he is done with "A" school. He will be coming home in two weeks for the long Holiday Thank you Columbus :) we can't wait to see him.
I thank everyone who keeps our little family in their prayers for they truly do help!

It's a Boy!

Yes that is right, I found out today that I am having another little boy! Both of us are very happy about this, maybe the next one will be a girl. Kodi wasn't sure at first about having another brother, but once he saw the picture he seemed ok with it.
They are saying my due date is January 13,2010 but if little one is like our other two boys he will be coming 10 sooner! I can only pray, he comes eariler, it would make life a litte easier for us since Aaron is suppose to be going to training sometime in the middle of January to the end of January.
We should be finding out more about the big move next week. I can't wait.

Only two more months at least that is what we are hoping for!

I am sorry I have not been keeping up with the blog. Life is a little hard Dakota is having a really hard time with Daddy being gone, which in turn is very hard on me. We went down last weekend to visit Daddy and Dakota had meltdown after meltdown. Which we have continued since we have been home.
I am very stressed out from this, I finally emailed his OT to find out what I can be doing different to help him out even more. We have increased his brushing to be 3-5 times a day, we will be starting his music therapy again, and doing a lot more sensory diet each day. He is having a huge overload of emotion and doesn't know how to deal with missing daddy.
Aaron is a huge help with talking to me each night and helping me get thur the day, he right now has the outside look for helping Dakota. After all is said and done, Dakota just misses Daddy, and Daddy misses him.
Yesterday was our 9th anniversary and I am looking forward to having 9 more wonderful years ahead of us. I am very lucky to have married my best friend, one who understands me and who is willing to help me when I need it. He is a wonderful man, a wonderful father.
I am so very proud to be married to him and how hard he works at making sure we are taken care of. He is very blessed to have two wonderful little boys, and one on the way. We love Daddy very much and can't wait until Oct 23 to see him at least for 14 days!

Portsmouth, Virginia here we come

Aaron picked his orders yesterday and chose Portsmouth Virginia he will be stationed at the hospital. He also was given the FMTB which means he will be trained to go with the Marines. This was not an option for him everyone in his class was given this order.
Sometime in January he will be starting his 7 week long training for the FMTB. We are not sure when he be leaving for Portsmouth sometime after he is done with "A" school. When we will move the family down we are not sure on that as well since our little one is due sometime in January. We are looking foward to being together again.

Living Life

I have not been so very good at posting lately, I am pretty sure it's because I don't have my laptop anymore so at night I do my work and than go to bed. I am so very tried by the end of the day, running after two boys and being pregnant is very hard work.


I hope Aaron likes the pictures of the boys, he usually gets pictures from me on his cell phone when we are out doing things, but I thought I should post some of us playing outside from the other day.

Last year Kingston got a bubble machine and he loves it. Jon Erica's Boyfriend so very nicely came over on Tuesday to Fix my Durango, and while he was doing that the kids played out in the front, I usually don't let Kodi play in the front yard for a number of reason but since Jon was out there and Xander had brought over his Razor we took all the kids out to play. Boy did they love it.
Grandma even brought out the little Harley for the three younger kids to play on. Of course we unplugged the battery. Kingston does know how to push the gas peddle down but doesn't know how to steer the Motorcyle. A very big problem, but he sure does love riding it. He loves going backwords. Silly little boy.
We also found out that Max loves to stand on the Harely. Boys will be boys.
Aaron is doing well, we find out tomorrow where he will be stationed. I can tell you that this week has been a very long week for us, I really hate waiting sometimes. He is doing great on all his tests and I am very proud. He has one tomorrow, he is really enjoying what he is learning. I thought it was funny, I called him the other night because Kingston had fallen off of Kodi's bunk bed stairs, and wanted to talk to Daddy. Of course Aaron was concerned and wanted to make sure KK was ok. He was asking me all kinds of questions. I told him No blood, I dont' see any bumps he is ok. Don't worry about KK he is just fine. "So you think you know all on medical stuff now that you are in that field"? I teased him
"No you probably know more than me right now, but I soon will know more than you." He replyed. I got a good laugh from it.
We can't decide it we should head out tomorrow to see him or not, the boys really miss Aaron and Kodi continues to let me know that he is missing his "daddy"
Kodi tells me that the reason he is acting up is because "I miss my Daddy that is why". I will post where we will be stationed tomorrow! We are living life and loving it at least most of the time!

Summer Fun


Yes the summer heat came back to us. I was complaining about the cooler weather we were having and now I wish that weather was back. But we are making the best of the heat. The kids played outside in th sprinkler and had a blast.
Kingston was being pretty funny with the sprinkler he would bend over with his butt sticking out and wait for the sprinkler to it his little bum. He than would scream and run away and he continued to do that for about 15 minutes he thought it was the best.
Dakota on the other hand was more about fighting the water with his sworn and snow shield. Actually the snow shield is his sled that the kids like to try and go down the hill on, they have not figured out that it doesn't work when there is no snow. We all just laugh at them.

Aaron has another test tomorrow and has been study for that, I went to the Dr today and the baby and I are just fine. She is very happy with me and how I am doing. Which is great to hear, at the end of the month we will have our US and find out what we are having.
Dakota had a great day at TTP he is doing so well, I am so very proud of him. They have now done two times of feeding with him to get him to just play with some new foods. He made a brocoli (Human as he put it) person than tried to squish the brocoli with his strong teeth, he only did that one, but he squished the peas three time in his teeth :)
After the OB appointment I headed over to Cub and got some frozen vegs to help him with his feeding to do at home. I picked up some snack paks for him to use for the painting and some green apple sauce as well. They want him just to play and explore the food right now, so we will have some fun days ahead of us with that.

The kids first really big storm

Yesterday was a very muggy day for us. We started off the day with

rain and no sun. Which for us was a bummer since we were heading over to Julia's party. So needless to say I did not bring the kids swim suits for the little pirate pool. Of course once we got over to their house the Sun was out and it was beatiful.
Carrie had the kids put their own toppings on the cupcakes which they loved.
Kingston decided he was going to head over to the little pool and go swimming I stopped him once, but the second time he was faster than he. Clothes and all he was soaked from head to foot. Of course he loved it. Thankfully I had some swim diapers in the car for him to wear. Out of his wet clothes and into his swim diaper he went.
Kodi decided not to change into the pair of shorts I had for him, but to stay in his pants. By the end of the party each kid had a balloon and they were playing with them outside. It was a great party and they loved it.

Of course Kingston fell asleep on the way home, and only got a 30 minute nap in for the day. But he was happy to see Grandma and Pa. Grandpa had hurt his back on Friday and is moving pretty slow. Kingston found Pa's hat and was wearing it around until they left for the store and Dr office to have Pa's back checked out.
Aaron has duty this week and is not allowed to leave the building unless for chow, and an hour of exercise. So he has been inside studying and playing on the computer.
