Catching up....

SO i have been painting my house for about a week,and spring cleaning closets and donating my old big clothes.I have lost about 15-18 pounds and i am SOOO happy.I stuck too my Zumba workout,but i think i pushed it cause i might have hurt myself to where i had to quit for a month.I am on the hunt for another workout,maybe Brazilian Butt lift??? we will see,i got a check up in about a month.

With spring cleaning,cutting the grass and just CLEANING i have been BUSY.

Alex has been doing so well in school and improving everyday,she is reading,writing short stories,her math is VERY amazing for a kindergarten child.So she got awarded for her good efforts,and got an EAGLE award(Eagerly*Achieving*Grade*Level*Excellence) it is the highest award to get in the class.We were sooo proud of her!

Jon and I attended Field Day which is where the kids compete against other classes.It was so much fun! and we even ate with her.Other than that we have been super busy.

Daddy has been trying to spend more time with the Kids,they do grow up fast,and his work does take him away from us...It would have been harder if he was away over seas somewhere,we are thankful that we do get too see him everyday...or night.When he does go away for military training,even if it is for just 2 weeks,it kills us....Alex has become dependent on her Daddy,when he has a day off or a weekend off she asks her Daddy to go out to eat or go to the store.I just sit there and think how hard it was for Jon to0 get out of active duty,it was something that he loved doing,but reserves for now it's ok for us,and that's what i mean by he made the decision to get out to be here and not miss 6 months...or a year away from them.I am a strong person,but i tip my hat for those army active duty wives that have too do that.I dislike the fact that some people think they know how hard or easy an army wife or husband have it.You only know what you see on TV or what you read...the heartache that they go though...it's real and they do not have it easy...life is not handed to them...they earn all this.GI bills?they are earned not just handed to them.I am not about too get into this argument,like i said, I respect the men and women fighting for our freedom out there that have too be away from their families.I support our Troops.

ANYWAYS....

Joshua is growing like a weed,that child will be a football player...one thing i am having a problem letting go of the fact that he is growing up and he is not a baby anymore,i need too let him grow,but i have caught myself babying him more than ever...because he is my last baby...but i am done having any more kids,by choice yes...i love kids,but with this economy being "obamafied" it would be selfish for me too have 2 more like i planned.

Easter this year was done differently...I know we have taught our kids about the Easter bunny and jelly beans and chocolate.This year i explained to Alex what Easter is really about...she did not really grasp it but to a point she knew that Eater was not JUST about bunnies and candy.They got their Baskets a day before Easter Day so they got too play with their stuff a whole day.The next day (Easter day) we went to Mi Casitas and met the family there for a nice dinner,we then went too Aunt Jerrie's house for some yummy desserts.Came home and played with bubbles and chalk!

Baby Bear got her own basket too

Easter Day

Alex caught a Caterpillar(don't worry she then let it go)

We thank God everyday for all the blessings in our lives,everything happens for a reason and we make our choices,weather they are good or not...just don't go blaming the next person too make yourself feel better...treat yourself good by staying away from drama,hostility and hatred,you only live once...make it worth it!
