October 2013

Yay another blog post is due:) 
This once a month thing works out better! 

So many things have been happening in our lives it's both a blessing and stressful!... First I wanna start with updating each of us and what's going on individually.. 
Lance
This guy is the rock of this family! He leaves his family for weeks at a time and I know it is hard on him. He is about to take his advancement test next month and we are praying he does well enough to advance. On top of that he is getting ready to deploy for 6 months.. This is where it will get very tough for our growin family. He will miss the kids birthdays and miss out on 6 months of their lives. It's upsetting to think about but it is what he longs to do. 
Me
I have been getting more and more involved with our church and I couldn't be more happy! I volunteer and help out with the kinder kids but I have an interview to become the head coordinator of the pre-k kids! I am so so excited to have the opportunity to serve god and it's truly a blessing for me to be able to do what I love again. Me and the kids will be moving back to AZ come April while Lance is deployed and I can't wait to become part of Heart Cry!!
Lola
Miss Sassy Pants of all sassy pants'. We are still going through a rough patch with her attitude but slowly are getting better everyday. She is now almost FULLY potty trained!!! Wahoo! I never thought I'd see the day lol. She has gone 4 days in underwear with no accidents! She says full sentences now and turns the big TWO years old in November! 

Elijah
He is now 2 months old yay! He laughs and smiles and cries and poops and sleeps! He sleeps through the night now finally :) he is now the length of a newborn only the 8th % for height :( poor buddy is going to be on the short side! 

Here are some pics of the happenings this month :)

We took the kids to the Houston Zoo for Halloween.

We started a naughty chair to hopefully help with our rough stage with Lola 

She can be super sweet:)

My sister and the kids came for a fun visit!


Our family pumpkins of 2013. I know we are super lame with our carving skills but lance gets way to mad when he carves and I always seem to mess mine up so we took the easy route :)


See you guys next month!!!
