So I had Jason in the bathtub today and he started grunting and so I thought well I will put him on the toilet and see what he does. He sat there for about 10 minutes just smiling at me and not doing anything and then all of a sudden he pooped!! YAY!!! This is the first time he has been on the toilet and actually done something other than smile and look cute! Maybe we will get this kid trained quickly. Anyway I was excited so I thought I would share. Have fun!!
We went camping with two other families from our branch for the 4 day weekend. We did fireworks and smores on the 4th and the boys and I walked down to the near by river with the other 2 wives and there kids while our husbands went mountain biking on the 5th. We had a great time and can't wait to go camping again!!
So we have been pretty busy lately and I haven't had a lot of time to get on here and blog. Here is a little of what has been going on around here the last two months.
Noah went thr
ough ALS(Airman Leadership School) and graduated earning the Distinguished Graduate award. He tested for Staff and we will hopefully find out in August that he will be sewing on Staff sometime this fall. He is playing on his squadron softball team and seems to be enjoying that(now if only they could win more regularly).
I have been experiencing a much longer morning sickness this time around and I am ready for morning sickness to be done. I am now 15 1/2 weeks pregnant. My next appointment is July 14 or 15(I guess I better find out when exactly). We planning on finding out what this little baby is right about 20 weeks so probably close to the end of July or the beginning of August. We are hoping on pink but not expecting it. Logan told me the other day that if it's a baby sister he will be very happy but if it is another baby brother he is going to be angry! He so badly want's a little sister.
Logan is learning how to ride his bike on two wheels. He isn't quite sure about it and wants to quit cause he doesn't like falling but Noah said he is doing really well. I wasn't able to get any pictures or video of it this last time but the next time he is out practicing I will go out and capture it! He is super excited for school to start and can't wait for his birthday in August.
Blake is doing well. We found out that he was excepted into the preschool program through the school and so he will start about a week after Logan and they will both be in full day school! YAY!! He want's to learn how to ride his bike without training wheels too but we have told him to wait a little longer. He is soooo clumsy and is always getting hurt.
Jason just turned two on June 29. I can't believe my little man is growing up so fast. He has a new found attitude and tells us to "stop it" all the time when he isn't getting his way. He has now had another double ear infection this summer and so that makes I think 4 seperate ear infections since moving here in February. The doctor thinks that it is time for him to get tubes placed and we will meet with the ENT doctor when they are up here in Misawa in August and hopefully have surgery then.
We have been without the van for about a week and a half now due to the water pump going out and then getting that fixed and then the radiator getting a hole in it. Pray that nothing else goes wrong with it when we hopefully have it back tomorrow.
That is about it that has been going on here in Japan lately. Hope you all are doing well and we love you all and miss you tons! Have a great 4th of July weekend!
We drove about 40 minutes away from Misawa this last Saturday to take the boys to Towada Horse Park. We had been told that it had a really large roller slide and we wanted to go check it out. Man were we surprised when we saw it. This roller slide is huge, it goes all the way up a hill(which I nicknamed Heart Attack Hill), it is so large that it is two slides connected together, the second part starts at the tunnel. Oh yeah you are probably wonderfing why it is called horse park, that is because there is a horse museum and horses to ride. Anyway I will stop blabbing and let you look at pictures now. Enjoy!!

The tallest Statue of Liberty in Japan... and yes there are more.
We have no idea what this says but we knew what 54 was!!

Blake on the zipline.
Jason wanted to do the zipline but refused to actually hold on to it.
Noah was way too tall for this zipline.
All of my boys on the roller slide.

This is what the whole slide is made out of and you can go pretty fast down it.
