As I look back over 2013 on this new year's eve All I can think of is hard. I had my hysterectomy in April, which was the best decision ever, but a very hard recovery. Then Josh moved to VA which has been the hardest thing we have ever been through. As the boys get older it gets harder and harder to have our family separated. The boys are doing a lot better with it now but I think it's because Josh was home for Thanksgiving and Christmas but now he won't be back until end of June so I hope these next six month they behave themselves.
One thing that was awesome this year was having Carrie and Tyson live in Wyoming. We went up there three times and they came down here once and it was so nice to get to see family more than once a year.
Jack is growing up so fast. He is starting to lose his baby weight and it makes him look more and more like a little, big, boy and it breaks my heart because it is all happening way to fast. He is super smart. His preschool teacher brags on him all the time. He has been able to write his name for a few months now and can count to 30 with no problem whatsoever. Kaleb is, of course, our little turd. He is so funny and brings so much joy to this house. Lately he has gotten so much pleasure torturing Jack. Anything Jack says Kaleb will say nu huh, then the uh huh, nu huh war starts lol He will just laugh and have this little smirk on his face as Jack gets mad. He is still attached to his binky and blanket which I'm very ashamed that I let that happen after him not having a binky for a year and half but oh well, what can you do. His speech has come so far in the last few months. He is talking in full sentences now and making most of the sounds correctly. Another think he is doing right now that I think is so cute is when he burps, coughs, farts, or sneezes he says "excuse you" he is so serious and just goes on about his business. I try to teach him to say excuse me but it's just not catching on :)
I'm very excited for 2014. We should be moving to VA this summer which is exciting but sad at the same time since I will be leaving my military family her in CO. My mom will stay here with me until we move which I am very thankful for. I couldn't' do this separation without her. She is such a big help with the boys and great company for me. Most of all I'm Thankful to my Heavenly Father for all our blessings and allowing our family to live another year on this earth.
