Updates, updates, updates...

Hello Y'all, we are very happy to announce to those that might not know. That in August 2011 we will be welcoming baby #4. We found out we are having a girl and are anxious to meet her. We are also going to find out that month. If we get to stay in Washington or have another opportunity to get to know another new place. We are excited for summer, which is just around the corner. And for Uncle Gabe to tour to Ft. Lewis. We will be "hopefully" having some guests before we ship out in December.

Everyone is doing well. Jon is almost done with his out rotations and we are excited when daddy gets to stay for the whole week. The kids have been getting bigger and more active...Especially on sunny days. The weather here has been decent so far and we are hoping for a warm summer. we are excited for the upcomnig events and will try to keep everyone posted on any news...

I've been a Slacker, Sorry!

It has been over 2 months since I've blogged. There hasn't been too much happening. But here is a recap on the gang.

Jon- Has been working really hard with his Graduate Program. He has done 1 out-rotation only 3 to go. (It's been hard to only see him on Saturday and Sundays.) To those who don't know what an out-rotation is. It's him doing clinical hours at hospitals in Seattle. He usually leaves on Mondays and gets home Friday nights. 9 more months until graduation.

Analis: Has been working hard in kindergarten. We are trying to learn to read and are having a hard time. However, she loves and excels in Math and Art. Can't believe that she is done in June and off to 1st grade in the fall. She is a great and attentive big sister. Always helping mom clean-up after herself and Evelyn. And is always willing to help Costen with his Chores.

Costen: has been very helpful at home. He loves to help mom clean-up and is super at making his bed. We still struggle toy clean-up. But, is learning. We have been working on writing and recognizing the alphabet. He has recently discovered Star Wars and is always playing with his lightsaver. He also is fascinated with pirates and love to say ARRGGH!

Evelyn: What can I say about the little monster :) She is into everything. She is a great climber and has been banned for the dining room. Has a super temper and will let you know if she doesn't like what you are doing. She has been talking in her own little language. We recognize some words like: "hungwie" for Hungry and thirsty, "Noo" for no and yes, "Baat" for bath, "bee-bee" for binky, and many more like daaddy, mommy, eez for Analis, otten for Costen. Wow, wee and many more. She is still fascinated with the toilet and toilet paper. And has discovered mommy's toothbrush. She goes absolutely crazy when she sees a dog and has to hug every stuffed animals she sees.

I have been trucking along. Trying to keep up with endless chores. Crazy kids and trying to keep sane during the process.

Ending of another year...

We had a wonderful couple of months... Jon got to have a few days off of school and spend some much needed time with the family. He starts out-rotations in a week so we won't see him except for weekends until the middle of July. We are a little anxious about these next few months and hope we can keep on trekking.

We had the opportunity to go to Utah for Christmas and spend time with family and friends. It was a great trip, but are always glad to be home. We hope that everyone has had a wonderful holiday season.
