March

Well we have been staying busy, Chris had his kidney stone surgery and is feeling much better now after almost two weeks. Kailee has been sick for about the whole time, first with a runny nose for a week or so and now a fever added into it. Carson has his normal skinned up knees but he is doing great. He learned his abc's with a couple little changes like K K instead of J K and I think he skips M or N. I absolutely love how he says W though! Adorable! I go back to work Monday after two weeks of working from home :( I'm thankful for the time I got to spend at home though, I am so lucky to have a unit that supports me not only at work but with my family too! It sure does make it easier to handle everything! I hope you all are well and you enjoy the pictures and video!

Kailee is One!!!!

BLOG SLACKING ALERT!!!

Sorry for the Confusion! The little guy you see running in and out of view is Carson's friend Julian.


Well, we have been slacking in the blog department lately! SORRY! Things are going really well here. Chris will finish with his BA in July or August so he is hard at it with schoolwork and the kiddos. Carson turned three last month and he is getting so big! He is getting smarter and smarter everyday. We finally found a church we love, Mililani Baptist Church, and he gets to go to Sunday School while we are at new members meetings and in church so he is having a blast. He keeps telling us that he wants to go to school everyday. They get to make crafts and sing songs and play so he has a blast. Kailee is already about to turn one! It is so crazy how fast time goes by! She took her first steps a few weeks ago, but up until today she had only taken two or three at a time. We all know how much she loves to eat, so leave it up to us to tease her with food to get her walking! We were so happy to finally get it on camera. She is going to be running around before we know it. We need to start planning her birthday party but we have to figure out what to do for a girl first :) We were thinking pink John Deere, but our neighbors don't like that idea for some reason! I guess we can leave John Deere for Carson, at least until she gets a little older. What can I say, our family can't resist it, tractors are just cool! She has also started waving hi and bye a lot in the past few weeks. We discovered two molars came through on the top also, so she is just making leaps and bounds this month! I have also had a big month. We had our unit Christmas party as soon as we got back from Texas and while we were there, they announced that I received Enlisted Person of the Year for our unit! I have had to work a lot of extra hours this month due to unit inspections, but those are finally overwith and everything has really calmed down so I am finally getting to relax and take a few days off to spend with the family and let Chris relax at least a bit! We hope ya'll are doing well! We miss all of you!

My New Camera

Well, from this point on you can expect better quality pictures from us! Chris and the kids got me a new camera for my birthday! I got a Nikon D3000, and it is stinkin awesome! We are having a blast taking pictures with it. My mom and dad were just here for a week long visit, it never seems like we can get enough time to do everything here! We had a blast! We stayed at the Hale Koa Hotel on Waikiki Beach for one night and it was absolutely beautiful, too bad I didn't have the camera to take pictures there! We spent a few days at the beach and lagoons, went black Friday shopping, and enjoyed some yummy food for Thanksgiving! We can't wait to get home for Christmas; only a few more days!!!

Kailee's Ears are Pierced!

Before




After!

You should be able to click on the pictures and make them bigger so you can see them better.

She did great! I was pretty nervous about basically hurting her intentionally, but she only cried for a minute and then she was fine. They look beautiful and she isn't acting like they are tender at all. What a great baby!



Anytime the camera comes out, Carson has to be sure there are some pictures of him! He is too funny! Oh, quick story about my little monster. We went to Dave and Buster's for Chris' birthday last month and luckily I bought two small cakes so we could have one there and one at home on his actual b-day. When I got home with the cakes, my wonderful little one decided he was going to help me by picking up the cake by the top cover and dropping it top down in the truck! Funny now, but really not funny then!!!

Kailee Can Crawl!

Slow and steady, but Kailee is a crawler! I'm not sure we are ready for another mobile child, but there's nothing we can do about it now! Three days ago she started crawling and she stood up in her crib all in the same day! Crazy and Awesome all in one! Carson is getting so big, talking in full sentences and happy all the time. Oh, and loud too! Love it! Everything else is great. Chris is about to finish one set of classes and start another, so we are staying super busy. I just started psychology, so we will see how that goes! Miss you all!





Carson actually fell asleep before bedtime watching Curious George. That sure doesn't happen often!

Carson Playing with Kailee

Just a couple of pictures and a video of Carson playing with Kailee. He had just woken up from a nap but he was keeping himself and her entertained for a while! We went to the beach today and had a blast. Carson is getting so big. He loves the waves and building and smashing sand castles! Especially the smashing part. Kailee is starting to spin in circles when she lays on the floor and she is sitting up really well. More updates to come! Miss you all!
