Well a lots happened other then finding out the new addition. Sam and his friends made a soccer team and they play indoor soccer. I think it's really good they got together to do this. Not only that we have a busy year with military stuff! In January Sam went for a week to do a training for his military career. He does them to certify for different machines And all kinds of things. So he got to do that and he still has his Normal one weekend a month drill. May and June and August are going to be the worst for us. Started last weekend Sam had his two day drill, this weekend and next he got put on orders to transport tanks to Wyoming. Such a fun drive for him haha then he gets one weekend with no military thank goodness! Then may 31 he leaves for his Normal summer training but this year it's different. It's not two weeks it's 3! And it's in Germany!! So cool for Him! He's never been out of the country. I think he will have tons of fun. Finally he gets to do something cool! Haha. So he gets home the end of June then just has a weekend training in July. Then August he goes to camp Williams for another 3 week training! I'm not quiet sure what it's for. I lose track of all the trainings. I've learned to focus on just what's coming up and not what's months away. So Sam is just a busy bee this year!
Brodie is getting so big! He's two you guys! I can say it wasn't as emotional as one was but it was still hard. But poor Brodie bug had strep on his birthday. Poor kid was miserable. It's never fun being sick let alone on your birthday. He's getting so big. He's talking so much and is very smart. He's very smart with matching puzzles and games. He loves singing to songs and watching movies. He loves playing soccer like his dad and just loves being outside. Sam got Brodie's sandbox done in the backyard and every chance he gets he is playing in it. He thinks it's funny when I Berry him! He is just a busy kid who loves being outside. He learns so much and is just getting smarter. I'm grateful for such a great kid. He's been very patient on the days I've been sick and will just watch movies with me on the bad days. I love him more then anything. I still can't believe he's mine.
Nothing really new with me. Just being the soccer wife and mom and cooking this cute little girl in my belly. I started feeling her kick a lot this week and I can already tell she is going to be a wild child haha just kidding. She is opposite of Brodie. I can tell by the ultrasounds. Brodie was always trying to stretch out and never wanted to be cramped. She is always in a ball and every time we try to get a profile picture she puts her hands to her face and has leave me alone attitude "drama queen"? I think yes haha.
So In February I was watching my siblings while the parents went to Texas. I noticed our dog (my parents dog) Nika was getting skinny and not just running off winter fat skinny I'm talking dropped like 10 pounds out of know where. So I called my parents and said I'm worried I think she has worms she not eating now. Well I took her to the vet and got the worst news ever! My baby girl had cancer and there wasn't anything we could do. For people who know me this broke my heart. I have never connected with a dog like I did Nika. When my parents got her she slept with me. I help with her. She was like my own. She was a bird hunting breed and my dad was trying it train her to do that but I felt it was cruel and as everyone would say I "ruined" her. She became the biggest human like dog baby I've ever met. She had to be under the covers of your bed with her head on the pillow. She'd whin at me In the mornings I had to get up for school and she didn't want to get up to go potty. She wanted to sleep. I'd take her in my bug to go get a cheeseburger and coke. (Coarse she got a cheeseburger) she was like my best friend. I still cry when I think about her. She was honestly the best dog we have ever had. I could go on with stories. I don't care if you read this and think it's just a dog boohoo. Well she wasn't "just" a dog. She was a person, my sister, my best friend. She was FAMILY!!! So when I got this news she had cancer and she would have to be put down I lost it. I cried for days. Worst valentines day ever. But I knew It was the right thing. She should of suffered. I hurt for my dad because Nika was also his baby and having to call them was the worst. I mean I'm so glad I got to be there and hold her while she went to heaven but I wish my dad could of been there for her in those moments. I wish my whole family could of been there to say goodbye. It was so hard because it happened so fast and was so unexpected. I had to break the news to basically everyone. Having to call my parents to having to pick my sister up and telling her. Nika was everyone's baby. We all bonded on our own level with her and have our own stories. I was lucky to be there for the beginning and the end. She will always have a place in my heart.
So besides all the business and heartbreaking time we are still moving on and surviving. We can't wait to welcome our baby girl in October. In the mean time there is so much to get done and hopefully I will blog more. Until next time see you all later!
