December

Well December was quite the busy month for us and sadly not all in a good way. After our big move to Georgia it took about a month for us to get our stuff...let me tell you i have never been so grateful for a bed and a couch! It was quite a feet for the movers to get our stuff up three flights of stairs and i don't think they were too happy about it but let me tell you i was!
About two weeks ago we got in a really bad car accident. We were on our way home from the post office and was stopped at a red light when a drunk driver slammed into the back of us exiting off the freeway. she was going about 45-50mph. we then in turn slammed into the car in front of us. we pretty much got squished like an accordion. It was pretty scary to say the least. Aj got most of the hit from the car and it had moved his seat up and forward about 6ins. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for the invention of car seats cuz i know it saved his life. We are all relatively ok and were able to walk away from the accident (well to the ambulance). Our biggest concerns are Aj and Mia and so far so good. We just know we were infinitely blessed and protected. Sadly though our new xterra did not fair so well...sniff....sniff...it was totaled. the monday after the accident we flew to Ct for christmas and have been working to get all the claims and stuff done with the accident. we did go and buy a new car last tuesday. It is a '10 Jeep Commander...i really like it and so does aaron. we almost got another xterra cuz we loved it so much but we figured having the option of an extra row in the back would be good since we will be shortly upgrading to two car seats!
other then all that Drama!...life has just been going on. Aaron starts school on monday and then we will finally start to settle into a rutine. maybe even give another go at the diaperless potty training...although i think aj has lost interest in his potty...we'll see

27 Weeks!! and fun aj pics of course!

So i havnt posted any prego pics so i thought i would start. im pretty sure im huge!!! i dont remember being so big so soon with aj (which im sure i wasnt) its starting to get pretty hard to walk up and down our stairs (our apartment is on the 3rd floor) but i guess its good exercise. i just cant believe how big Amelia got so quick i feel like she has already run out of room.
and for anyone who wants to know Sahara had her beautiful little girl Lily last night. i only have pics on my phone and dont know how to get them on the computer otherwise i would. she is so cute. big chubby cheeks! she looks just like charlie (her big bro) when he was born.
These are just some fun pics. of course since i was getting a pic aj had to pose too. this is his cheesie smile! he even does this goofy fake laugh when he poses for a pic, but you got to be quick cuz he wont hold it that long!

and they said he has no sense of style!
These were the glasses that aaron had to wear the first nine weeks of OCS. I think aj looks so stinkin cute here. the cutest nerd i have ever seen!

Aarons OCS Grad and Athens!!

So i have put up some of aarons OCS graduation pics. they did a lot of fun stuff leading up to graduation. first they had a dinner the night before where you could meet all of his class team (the Drill Instructor, Officer, and Chief that oversaw his class) they also got to do some push ups in the hall with the di, it was crazy how loud they get. (i have lots of videos but will have to post later) then the next morning they had there victory run which is like a mile and a half run with two of the classes under them and any family that wanted to join at 5am. i just watched. after the run they went over to the "sandpit" to get beat by the di so the fams could all watch and take pics. then they marched to the gally so we could see how they ate for the first nine weeks. they had to do everything at attention together as a group, even eating! then aarons dad got to swear him in as an officer just before the graduation. the graduation was really good. the Admiral of the warcollege was the key speaker and i think he did a good job. after aarons grad we packed up and mad dashed to Athens, Ga. We got here last sunday night (man was it a long trip! i think it took us like 20hours) We have just officially moved into our apartment but we wont get any of our stuff from Idaho for another 3wks or so! bummer. so some of the women from our new ward have been nice enough to let us borrow some of their stuff (like pots and pans and a card table) so that we can survive till our stuff gets here.
So this is Aaron having breakfast. before he can sit down his Chief has to check him over to make sure his tray is right and that he is standing right. if, when sitting they are not sitting properly(knees together and feet at a 45 degree angle, try it its kind of hard) the di will go around with a plate to hold between your legs to keep your knees together. once they are all sitting they have to eat by number (for the first few weeks) so that they all do it at the same time. they only could use a "warspoon" until nine weeks.
this is them warming up for their run. its funny cuz they were all joking and laughing around until their di showed up...dum...dum...dummmm! who yelled at them and told them to shut up...and man did they all listen! i think there di was just about the scariest man alive! he was crazy loud too when he yelled
after aaron was sworn in by his dad. notice his stripes are now showing on his jacket!
getting sworn in!!! Yeah for Officers!!!
this is aarons class. with the di in green on the left next to the chief in front on the right is the captain, the admiral from the warcollege and aarons class Officer. i also have a pic of aarons first salute but it wouldnt fit. after aarons graduates he outranks his di and chief so after graduation they all line up and get there first salute from them. in return aaron gives them each a silver dollar, its tradition. overall graduation was nice, the drive sucked, but we are liking it here in Athens. everyone is really nice which is refreshing coming from the land of grouches (new england). we are just so glad to be all together as a family again! Aj sure missed his Daddy!

Halloween!

So it might have taken me a little longer then most but i finally got our Halloween pictures up. Aj was just about the cutest skunk i ever saw. i figured he would spend the whole time trying to rip of his hat or chase his little skunk tail but he loved wearing it
This first pic was actually on halloween in newport, ri. we went to go visit aaron for the weekend and he was able to get off base liberties so that he could go trick or treating with us. sadly both aaron and aj were dressed head to toe in black and white (aaron has to wear his blues off base ) which is not very good attire to wear trick or treating. so i got a glow stick necklace around aj neck i put glow sticks in his pumpkin and then he had a blue flashlight (mostly cuz he likes flashlights) and made sure he stayed by aaron so they both were visible!
All the rest of these pics were at trunk or treat the tuesday before. and let me tell you i was happy i got to use that costume at least twice...it took so stinkin long to make. and guess what aj will be next year if he can still fit? and when he cant guess what mia will be? a little pink bow over an ear and Whala a girl skunk costume!
Grandpa and aj eating chili and candy!
aj loved going around and getting candy in his pumkin. most people would had it to him and he would put it in but of course grandpa couldnt just give him one, what grandparent would deprive their grandchild like that?...he let aj help himself and let me tell you he really did help himself. i couldnt pull him away from Lances basket he was just having such a good time putting all that candy in his pumkin. i think grandpa got a kick out of it too!

the trunk or treat was so much fun. they had games like go fish, and a cupcake walk that grandma took aj around on a few times so that we could get one from the cupcake nazis (they were literally guarding a mountian of cupcakes so that the parents wouldnt eat them...please i think the kids got enough in the way of candy they can spread the cupcake love around!). Newport was a blast too. the neighborhood we went to was about a block away from the chruch there and everyone was just so friendly. aaron loved taking aj door to door, making sure aj said his thank you everytime and blew a kiss bye-bye when they left. they were a cute sight to see! aaron even got a couple of salutes (even though he really isnt an officer yet, 8days left!, he still looks like one) and one or two people even thanked him for serving. i know that meant a lot to him! overall it was a pretty great halloween!

Aaron's Blues

Aaron in his blues. i love this uniform. you can kind of see that he has his officer gold strips on his sleeves but they make him duck tape them cuz he isn;t worthy yet to wear them. Did you notice his metal? only two months actually in the navy (even though we have really been in for a year) and he already has a metal...my husband is so heroic. its actually a National Defence metal for joining the navy during a war...so brave! Such a hansome man!!!

Frog lovey

So aj has decided that this frog is going to be his comfort toy which is fine and dandy for me. usually he just uses it when he goes to sleep but it has been really starting to turn into a all the time comfort thing for him. i thought i would be good for me to collect as many as i can of them. he is a carter just one year green and yellow plush frog baby lovey (mouthful i know) well we had originally got it as a gift but i had seen them at walmart. of course they dont have them anymore (we got it almost a year and a half ago) so i went online to find one. i found one used on ebay that i am going to get and the only one in the whole entire world is new on amazon for 62 dollars! i cant believe it! of course i would much rather have it new but im not paying that much for them. So basically i am asking for any who can to help. I will buy any and all of these frogs from whoever has it as long as it is in good condition.
i was looking at tons of loveys and i think it is highway robbery how much people are charging for these things. this frog also comes with a blue tummy which is about 40-50 bucks online! crazy, but i guess they know a mom will pay it if she needs to get it for her kid.
today we went to the groton fall festival and they had reenactments with guns and canons and all. aj of course got scared and kept reaching for something to hold on to to comfort him. luckily we had been given this little stuffed monkey at a booth and he just held on to that thing the rest of the day for dear life. i had broght his frog but left it in the car. as soon as we got in the car he dropped the stand-in in monkey and snuggled his froggie till he fell asleep. thats when i knew i need more of these things.
PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU GOT ONE AND DONT USE IT!!

Aj At home in Ct

So the first pics are at the Bronx Zoo. the first one is when aaron convinced aj to eat a leaf. see his cute little look "i trust you daddy" he'll learn not to listen to daddy when in comes to putting things in his mouth soon, i hope


Sleeping with Max

Going for walks. aj loves to walk the dogs. i dont think they are quite as big of fans of him controlling the leash

The mexican hat dance. i dont know why he started doing this i think he just likes to hear the sound of his feet stomping or something. everytime he gets really excited he stomps his little feet like crazy.

Pictures Pictures And More Pictures!!

So i finally went and got a new cord for our camera so i can post all of the many pictures we have. to show off this wonderful state. honestly though i really
havent taken any since aaron left so i will have to get some of him in his uniform on sunday so i can show him off

so here is aaron's graduation. ignore the huge hawaiian dress i was wearing i was wicked sick that day! but doesnt aaron looks so hansome in his cap in gown
This is Aaron and aj driving the boats at the mystic aquarium.
So this was our trip to boston. the pictures are of aj at the park they had a row of bronze ducks and all the kids could sit on them and take pictures on it. the other pic is our first ride on a subway.

18 Weeks today

so i am 18 weeks today...and what some crazy weeks it has been. i am sure this baby must be a girl just cuz of all the drama she has caused. from the day we found out we were prego if its not one thing its another. well today i had an ultra sound. i didnt really tell anyone but the results from my blood test showed that our risk of having a baby with down syndrome was much higher then it should be so the dr suggest an ultra to get more info. i am happy to say that the results were good and although the risk is still there it is significantly lower (about 1 in 250). well let me tell you this was just about the most uncooperative baby i have ever seen. i was rolling from side to side and the tec was practically jabbing me in the gut trying to get a good pic of the baby. two of the major things they need to see was the nasal bone and the arm bone (i dont know what its called) but of course this little bugger had her hand either behind her head or covering her face. apparently she is camera shy although she doesnt get that from me! the dr was able to find out the sex but aaron and i decided to wait till we could both be there to find out, so we had her write it down on a paper and seal it up. then on sunday aaron and i are going to open it together. Gayla has been holding it for safe keeping. i tried to convince her to let me peek and i promise i would act just as suprised but she wouldnt budge. UGH! im not good at being patient. i would like to again thank all of you that did know about this impending ultra and all the prayers and fasting that you have given on our behalf. i can promise you that i have felt the love and comfort given by the Lord and by you.
i am hoping for a girl...as im sure all of you know...expesially cuz we only have a girl name picked out but i figure since this is already being a difficult child it will probably be a boy and then we will have to sturggle to pick a boy name. we have had some ideas but nothing has seemed right enough to settle on yet. Ugh i dont think i can make it till sunday!

oh funny story so my belly button (which if you have ever seen it is as deep as a crator) has partially popped out. now i dont mean that it is half as deep, i mean the top half has popped and the bottome half is still sunk in, it looks really weird. i took a pic on my phone to show aaron on sunday and wanted to post it but i couldnt figure out how to get pics from my phone to the computer...im sure you can pic the weirdness though!

old pics i never put up



so these are kinda old pics that i just never got around to putting up. aaron emailed me and said he can look at the blog so i thought i would add some more pics. we packed up our camera cord with the move so i cant add any new ones but here is some stuff before we moved that i dont think i ever posted

Aarons Gone...sniff sniff

so sad day...aaron left for OCS last saturday. it was really hard to let him go. when we went to drop him off we didnt even really get to say goodbye. i was trying really hard not to be emotional or make a big scene because i didn't want him to be made fun of for having a crazy wife, but the whole goodbye was so quick i didn't even have time to cry. i was a little disappointed. i haven't heard from him yet, i carry my cell phone with me religiously, but am hoping to hear from him on sunday. they say they will let them go to church on sunday (we just dont know if its one of those you have to earn it things) so Gayla, Aj, and i are going to go up to the Rhode Island ward on sunday hopeing he'll be there. it would be nice if i could see him on sundays. i know i'm beeing a big wimp about it, most women dont get to see there husbands at all for the whole twelve weeks.

I've been talking to some of the ladies here who's husbands went through OCS (only those who go stright in as an Officer do the 12 weeks) and this is what i have found out...
its they're goal to work you so hard that you throw up the first day
they make you do everything the same including shaving their head the first day (in fact as we were leaving we took one more peek at aaron and they had made the whole group roll up their pants i dont know why it was kind of funny)
most loose about 20lbs by the end and come back wicked ripped (one lady say her husband looked like he was in a concentration camp because his head was shaved and his face was so thin that you could see all his bones, but with a big hunkie body)
Ironiclly aaron will have lost like 20lbs by the end and i will have probably gained it....wahoo.
I am excited for the big fancy dinner they have at the end before graduation.

Just under a year ago they broke ground for a supply school up in Rhode Island (same base) so we are hopeing it will be done by Jan so that we can stay up here by family and not have to move down to Georgia. Everyone i talked to here says there are huge bugs in Georgia which i am not looking forward to!

Updates

I'm sorry to say i will have another pictureless post. mostly when we moved we brought our camera but not the cord to put our pics on the computer...smart hun?
Well we are all settled here in Ct. if you ever thought about moving to the new england area DONT! it is so unbelievably wicked hot!! unless you have air conditioning then its ok. i dont think i have ever wished for an Idaho winter so much in my life.
What have we done so far...lets see...most of my activities has revolved around food, weird i know. we went to boston and did some of the things on the independace trail. we also went to this huge park its like central park of boston aj really liked that part. we have also gone to New Haven which is where yale is. it is a beautiful campus all the buildings look like cathedrals so pretty. we also went to Pepe's pizza which is so stinking good. i ate six slices without even taking a breath. it would be totally worth it to fly here for just the pizza alone it is that good. it is in the little italy of new haven just down the street from it is this little italian pastry shop that place was good too. in fact i got an eclair while we waited in line for the pizza and then again after we ate some pizza. i blame the pregnacy although i know i'm really just a pig!
last week we went to the Bronx zoo. it was good but we went on wendsday (which is a donation only day) so everyone and there mother was there and let me tell you it stunk soooo bad. seriously everyone there stunk like pee!

My most exciting news: first i have started to potty train aj. i'm not really trying that hard i just sit him on it after his nap. he wants to sit on it sometimes and sometimes he'll go. he almost always goes after his nap. he has been teething the last two days and has been sick from it so we took a break and will start up again today. it was soo cute the first time he sat on his potty he had to hold my hand the whole time till he was done.

well thats about it for here. aaron will be leaving for OCS at the end of the week. i'm way bummed and am going to miss him like crazy but it will be a good to just get it over with.

The Official Announcement

So here is the Official Announcement:
Yes we are pregnant with our second child. I think I am about 6 weeks along. So for all of you doing the math in your head right now let me save you some time at tell you that yes that means we will have two kids under two! Although we did start "trying" we were not quite expecting it this soon. It took us a year to get pregnant with Aj so we figured it would take us some time to get pregnant again. but of course not this time. I think it only took 3 months! What luck! We are excited though. We were going to keep it a secret for a while but since today was my first sick day i figured its ok. I would like to point out the fact that Aaron was the one to blab it first.
I think another boy would be nice so that they would be each others friend (since they are so close in age) but i must confess i really REALLY want a girl. And since we will be having number two in Georgia i just think it would be perfect to have a girl. I could dress her up in a green velvet dress and do her hair in ringlets and teach her to say things like 'fiddlie-dee' and 'I'll think about that tomorrow'. If you dont know what i'm talking about i feel very sad for you.
Of course this pg has started off with a bang. we spent most of our vacation in Cali going to drs and ultrasounds and as of right now i am on light bed rest. really i just need to take it easy and not do any house work (a tragedy i know) I am a little worried though cuz we are moving at the end of the month and I'm going to have to clean my whole apartment. we'll see how that goes!

Sorry it was a book...i hate people who do all writing a no pics and i just turned into one...my bad

AJ's Birthday






So It took me a long time but I finally am posting Aj's bday pictures. We had such a fun time at his party. We had hamburgers outside and then went inside for cake and presents. Aj got some really fun toys. The kid love cars and he got a lot of them! I hope you like all his cake pictures. at first he didn't even want to touch it. and he wouldnt eat his own cake he would only eat the cake off of my plate (go figure) so that is why he is covered in blue frosting even though he had a yellow banana cake. At one point he shoved his whole face so deep into my piece of cake i could here him blowing nose bubbles in the icing. Needless to say he had blue boogies for a week. It was really fun

Some other updates...we went camping in Yellowstone twice since i last blogged. we went camping one of the times it was really fun but aj had Roseola. Feel free to google it. basically its a virus you can get as an infant that gives you a 103 fever for 3-5days then a body rash for 2-3 days. his was pretty sever just because he got it the same day that he had his one year shots so it kind of knocked out his immune system. Thats really all for now. we are just getting ready for our big move and graduation coming up in July.

Sad Aj

So said story,
Aj got his first ear infection. I could tell something was wrong towards the end of last weekend cuz he was just really fussy. so last monday (like just over a week ago monday) we went to the docs and he had a really REALLY bad ear infection in one ear and a little bit of one in the other. i felt so bad for him. we had to give him meds for five day and let me tell you he slept terrible. i dont know if it was a side effect from the meds or just the infection but he would only sleep maybe four hours at night and really didn't take naps at all. i felt so bad for him but at the same time i was sooo thankful that he is such a good boy and normally slept really good.
I just felt so bad cuz i didnt want him to be sick on his birthday. I am happy to say he is almost better. his ear infection is all gone but the med gave him the runs for one day and he got a diaper rash from it. its really sad cuz it is on the side of his leg as well so it kind of rubs against the diaper and he is pretty fussy about it. hopfully it will go away quick cuz we only have 3 DAYS till his bday party.
i'm pretty sure i am more excited then him, i'm mostly excited for his present...a front facing car seat!!!! i cant wait. do worry though thats not all he is getting, he also got a kiddie pool that i was hoping to use at his party and some squishy cars. Of course i got him cars, its the only word he really knows...everything is a car. my favorite is when he pointed to a tree and said 'car' so i said 'its a tree, can you say T-REEE?' and he went 'Ta Ta Ta Car'. i guess its just easier to say or something.

My Big Boy


Aj is getting so big now!! it just amazes me how fast he grew. he can walk all the way across the room now. that's his new favorite thing! he also throws temper tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. its really hard for me not to laugh. he will scream at the top of his lungs shaking his arms with his eyes wide open. he is wicked smart too. we have a small shelf in our kitchen and he can just reach the top of it when he is on his tip toes. last night he wanted this brick on top of it but he couldn't reach so he pushed Aaron's scripture case over to it and stood on it so he could reach the brick. so smart! he also has mastered the sippy cup and loves drinking with a straw. he will say 'daddy' to Aaron now. he also growls which is pretty cute or he will kinda bark like a dog which is stinkin cute. 
the other day we were reorganizing our iphoto and it just amazed me how much he has changed. he really has turned into a big boy...sniff...sniff

latest and greatest

so here is the latest from me.
the craft fair was pretty good. it rained the last two hours so nobody really came by after that...it was a little of a bummer...
what i did get out of it is my next latest and greatest project (when i told aaron he said "dont you have enough projects" NEVER!!) i have joined Scentsy! if you dont know about it let me tell you:

it is a wickless candle, you buy a candle warmer (or warmer plug in which are new and so cute) and choose from over 80 different scent blocks of wax to melt. i love it because it uses a lightbulb instead of a candle so you dont have to worry about smoke or some wee one knocking it over and starting a fire. i also like it because the wax is a paraffin wax which means if you touch the melted wax it wont burn you! i personally fell in love with all the smells. they are sooo good. i swear our house always smells like poopy diapers to me so i can you anything that will make it smell better.

I am hosting my first open house on Friday May 8th and 7:00 and if you were invited and dont show up i will be personally offended! jk (well sort of!) i wont be making the order till monday so you'll have all weekend to decide what you want. this could be an easiy mothers day present for all those last minute shopper husbands. if you didnt get an invite dont think it was cuz i didn't want you (i ran out of invitaions) so still come! i'm going to try to send e-invites to all that i can. well thats all...i'm a very busy girl!

so much to do so little time!

so life has been as busy as ever here! 
to start i must do a plug for my craft fair...
i will be at the craft fair in the apex building by porters on Saturday May 2nd 10-5 so you should totally come...
i will be sell my ties (that everyone keeps asking about) and some personalized invitations and hopefully some flowerpot sugar cookies....
its alot on my plate though, mostly because i found out about it this week! so i'm working hard to get it all done. then i will just have like two weeks until the bake sale!

i have also been keeping aj very busy. i finally got him the "your baby can read kit". he has to watch the videos twice a day, and he has a book we are suppose to read once a day AND flash cards that we are suppose to play with for a few minutes several times a day. its a lot of work on my part just remembering. one good thing that has come of it is that he is not suppose to watch any other tv so we really haven't had it on all week (i usually keep it on all day for background noises). i had tried once before to disconnect myself from the boob tube but was unsuccessful but with knowing that aj watching it can screw up this very expensive program i got him i have a little more incentive. another think i have noticed, aj hasnt gotten a hang of any of the words yet (i just started on monday) but i have noticed that he talks a lot more. mostly just jibber jabbers to himself during the video and talks alot more all day long but now he will say daddy instead of dada. i was always a little worried cuz i could talk but would rarely do it and now he just goes non-stop.
we also had a brief window of sunny weather it was soooo nice we went for walks every day and aj played at the park pushing his little lion everywhere...but these last two days have been rainy and i think aj really is iching to go outside again.
so this week aaron went back to school. its nice because he is just going to school and not working too so we get to spend a lot more time together as a family. we will miss the little extra play money we got from his last job. i can tell that this is going to be a pretty easy semester for him too (so don't listen to him when he says its hard) so i think it will be pretty stress free (or as stress free as school can be)

Thursday, April 16, 2009

so i havent added in a long time and i have tones of viedos of aj. this one is of him trying to burp. its one of his new things. everytime he burps he thinks its s
oo cool that he trys to do it again sometimes he can make himself do it...


so another fun thing that aj has figured out was how to play Peek-a-Boo. he does it all the time now its pretty cute. he also loves to walk around. it was killing aaron's and my back to have to walk him all over the house. so i got him this lion that can be a walker or a car. for the first week we would still have to stand behind him cuz he was a little scared and he fell a lot! but once he got the hang of it he can cruze around all by himself. i th
ink it is one of his new favorite toys cuz it gets him to all new places and heights. he is really good at picking himself up to stand and cruze around all the furnature which is fun for him but sad for me...my little baby is getting big :( he is even starting to wear 12month clothes...makes me so sad how fast he is growing up.

this is aj and audree sharing...it was a rare occurrence so i took a picture!

Aj was having trouble taking naps for like a week i think it was when the big part of his molars were coming in...so i would just let him cry for 15mins or so and sometimes he would finally fall asleep. sometimes he would crawl to the bars and cry one time he fell asleep there i thought it was so funny i took a picture
