Ya I know I'm always doing a catching up post.
So here's a little background on my life the few months. Okay 8+ months? I stopped blogging to spend time with my little family. The last few months we had left as a family for awhile. As many of you know Sam is in the military and this is the life we live. Yes as of currently it is just the kids and I. Before Sam left we just hung out and spent time together. My family took us to Disneyland and lake Powell. The last few months were the best months I could of asked for. When Sam left I never thought it would be as hard as it has been. I always thought it would be no big deal because we've been threw so much and him being gone so much anyways. Boy was I wrong. There's good days and bad days. In the beginning there was a lot more worse days. I think because I didn't know how to explain it to my kids. And I was also struggling in some ways. Oaklie got attached to him like crazy right before he left and Brodie's always been his buddy. It was all just so new. To top it off I went threw my first thanksgiving without him in 4 years and my first Christmas without him in 10 years. Our world completely flipped on us and it made it so much harder. So here we are months after Sam has left and we are all surviving!
Oaklie turned one a few short days after Sam left. I knew my kids were going to change alot but oh man Oaklie is changing the most and it makes me a little sad knowing he isnt here for this. I thank our lucky stars for technology though. Without it he really would be missing out. Its nothing like basic training where all we had was hand written letters. Oaklie is starting to talk like crazy. She is still this firecracker bundle of personality. She is so opinionated already and it makes me laugh! When a song comes on she likes she yells UP to you so you will turn it up. Her favorite movie is shrek and she loves getting Brodie in trouble. She loves bubbles and jumping off of things. She is my snuggly little girl.
Brodie is just getting so big. I cant believe he is 4 now! Just so insane to me. He is getting such an attitude and super sassy. He is finishing his first year of preschool! Like what the heck! I am getting old guys! He gets himself dressed every morning. And even gets Oaklies clothes picked out for me. He makes his own bed now and he is so proud of himself for it! He is soaking up this warm weather like crazy. He is ready for swimming and just being outside. He is learning to climb trees and loves finding bugs!
We are trying to stay busy and counting down the days until our daddy his home in our arms again.
