Heartbeat

We were able to hear the heartbeat yesterday, which was awesome. I was hoping we could finally hear it although a part of me didn't want to because then I would have gotten an ultrasound, but oh well. The Dr said that the baby is sounding good. I was very excited, although I had wanted Josh and the boys to be able to come in and hear and they were unable to because of course Ashton is sick again! Our one concern is that 5th disease had gone around our church which can be very dangerous for pregnant women so we are hoping that Ashton doesn't have that, because I am not immune to it. I am having to get tested every couple weeks in order to make sure that I am still negative. So we are praying that I stay negative!

Josh and I had a wonderful time on our vacation without the boys. It was really nice to get away and be able to spend some times together.
This was in Belize on a cave expidition.
On one of the rivers in Belize! This was the river were the opening of Indiana Jones "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was filmed!


This was in Grand Cayman, the beach was beautiful here and the water was so nice.

We climbed the Dunns River Falls! It was awesome!

Us all dressed up for our formal night on the ship. It was so much fun! You can even see my baby pooch! =)

Slacker

I have been such a slacker!!!

I now have a 5 year old and one that will be 3 in three months. Time is sure flying by. Josh and I recently went on a cruise with NO kids and had a wonderful vacation. We met some wonderful people and had a blast going to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Belize. We are already ready to go on another cruise in a couple years. We had a wonderful time reconnecting and just being alone.

Kaden is close to being done with preschool and is getting ready to start school. We are still trying to decide what to do for his schooling because the kindergarten is full day which we know will not work for our family with Josh's schedule at work. We are hoping that something will pop us so he can go somewhere for part day and if not I will have to lower myself and homeschool him, which I am NOT looking forward to. Kaden is doing good though and is such a big helper to me with his brother.

Ashton is such a hyper child and has SO much energy ALL the time. He is a lot of fun though and loves his big brother. He just recently started using the big boy potty and is doing awesome!! We did have to break down and order him some Mickey Mouse Underwear from the Internet because he has been asking for that underwear for over a month now and we figured he must really want them, so I finally located some. He was SO excited and looks in the mail everyday for them, but hey whatever helps the potty training. =)

I finally finished school and received an associates of applied science in Medical Office Assistant, if I want I can take a test to become a medical assistant, but we will see if I decide to do that. Josh is still in school and will be graduating on November 4th with a BS in Business Management. He currently has 8 classes left counting the 2 that he is in now. We are so excited about this because it has been a long time coming. In Aug he will start applying for Internships within his company, it is looking like we will have to move to Iowa for a couple years. We are not looking forward to this but are willing to do it if this is where God is leading us!
