Hello in Blog Land. I haven't blogged since August. I say it is time for an update, right? Well, most of my new photos are now on my computer because I had to move them over from my phone, but the ones I have on my phone will have to do for now until I can get home and update from my computer with all the pictures.
But first, how about a family update?
Garett - He is growing like a weed. He wants to go to school so bad like his big brothers, but we keep telling him he will go next year. He can sing his ABC song and lots of other songs. He loves watching Zootopia and doing anything his brothers do. He loves playing outside and with Legos, even though he isn't supposed to. He loves his big boy bed, and is my most unpicky eater. He is in size 7 shoes, size 4 diapers and size 3T clothes.
Greyson - Loves Kindergarten and his teachers and friends. Kinda got off to a rough start, but had really adjusted and is learning a lot. He reads a lot of words already and loves to read with us at night and pick out the words he knows. He loves to play outside except for when a dog or cat is around. He is my best sleeper and will usually fall asleep really fast and sleep in the next day. He is in 5T and size Small Boy's clothes and size 10 shoes. He still has to wear a pull up at night, but is waking up more nights dry then wet nowadays, so it is getting better. He is my kid that knows what is wants, likes and isn't afraid to let you know his opinion. He also is very sensitive when he is doing something wrong and being disciplined. He doesn't like it when people are mad at him.
Gavin - He is doing so good a Dual Immersion Spanish and is really taking off with it. He struggles with Math, but once he gets a chance to do some homework he knows what he is doing and gets better at it. He loves reading his Chapter books and will sit down with Greyson and Garett and read to them. He loves to play outside and with Legos. He still wakes up super early in the morning, but that is just Gavin. He is in Medium Boy's clothes and size 12 shoes. He is really my get along by himself, entertain himself, play by himself boy. He will play with his brothers, but doesn't have to.
Mike - Mike left for training in Texas last week, so we are on day 10 without him. It has been crazy, lots of ups and downs, lots of firsts, and chaos, but we are getting through it, one day at a time. He has tests everyday he has to take and it has been going good, they haven't sent him home yet. He has a big text next week that he is really studying for and it is a big one, so pray for him to pass it so he can continue. We haven't come this far for him to be send home 2 weeks in!
Me - Still working, hoping Mike's first paycheck in November can help pay down some debts and I can quit my job the end of the year. Our babysitter graduates from school the end of December and wants to start looking for a job, so I will need to get something figured out. All my Christmas Shopping for the boys is mainly done and wrapped. I just have Mike, family and stocking stuffers left to get. Other than that, we are just plugging along.
So, that is a little update on us! I will post some specific things with pictures next :)

Family Update
I feel like I haven't done one of these in FOREVER! So how bout it?
Garett - Refuses to sleep at night, and finally falls asleep with us in the room (we have to stay until he falls asleep) at 10pm, then about 1am comes down to our room EVERYNIGHT to sleep with us. Other than that, he is an eating, talking, playing, big boy crazy kid. He talks like crazy (it's hard to believe that this time last year we were worried about his talking). He is in 24 Month and 2T clothes, size 7 shoes, size 4 diapers and still growing. I think he is 28 lbs. He likes to eat Lunchables, Go-Gurts, Cereal, French Toast Sticks, Chicken Nuggets, and Mac N Cheese. He loves to play outside. He was the big bully in Nursery, but we have moved him up to the older class and he has been doing better.
Greyson - So excited to start Kindergarten in August. I am worried about his writing, but I will print up some worksheets for him to do this summer, and hopefully he will be good. I think his acid reflux is back, but hasn't been too bad so far. He still only eats Cheetos and Cereal for the most part but will eat other things on occasion and surprise us. He is in 5T shirts, 4T pants, and size 9-10 shoes. We are still working on getting him night time potty trained, but that hasn't been going so good. Thank goodness for pull ups. He loves to play outside, but only if his brothers are out there with him. I think he is 37 lbs last time we weighed him. He goes to Primary and loves his class.
Gavin - Is ready to be done with 1st Grade (only 1/2 day left) and go to 2nd Grade Dual Immersion in August. He is reading chapter books and is doing so good at it. He is in size 7/8 shirts and 5T pants, and size 12 shoes. He loves to read, listen to his iPod Shuffle, and watch TV and Movies. He likes to play with Legos too. He is my big pretender, and will create signs for different stores that he works at like the Library, Home Depot, and Harmons. He was 46 lbs last time we weighed him I believe. He is my early riser, up at 6am most mornings. We are trying to come up with a reading plan for him this summer to motivate him to continue reading. We will see how that goes. He of course loves Primary and being one of the big kids in Sharing time. That will change next year.
Mike - Still waiting for either someone to pull out of Training so he can take their spot, or October 13th to get here for his Air Force Training. He started a new job in February at Precision Automotive in Orem, so His work, My work, and Gavin's school are literally miles away from each other. He is a co Primary teacher with me at we Teach Sunbeams. He isn't a big fan, but does it with me. Still drilling monthly, just waiting for training. Right now his big project is the backyard. We are doing a patio and sod in the next couple of weeks, so hopefully that turns out and works out ok. It will be a better selling point for our house next year, though.
Me - Still working at Provo Canyon School. I will work here until the day that we move up to Layton area probably. Sunbeam teacher and I love it! Working out everyday ish and I am almost done with my 8th week and have lost 11 lbs. It is going pretty good. I am on my 3rd week of T25 Beta, and have started Shakeology the beginning May, so I think that has helped me a lot. My big project is helping the backyard and hoping we don't spend a lot of money doing it. Then I will start to get each room inside ready to sell next year.

Update - Health
Here is an update on our Health...Ready?
Gavin - Is still peeing every 30 minutes. We did the finger prick and it came back in normal range. So we had to catch his pee for 24 hours to test for stuff...That test came back normal while we were at Legoland. So now, we have to meet with a Pediatric Urologist to see if there is a blockage. If there is not a blockage, then we will check Neuro next. On the 24th of April he got Strep, but that cleared up quickly with some antibiotics. Other than that, Gavin is good! (PS) - While we were on vacation, he didn't pee really that much, so I don't know if it is all in his head or what is going on.
Greyson - We are finally getting him Dental Insurance FINALLY! That will start June 1st so I will get him an appointment with a Dentist that will sedate him and will take our new insurance. He is still on the acid reflux medication which is helping so much. He hasn't had a choke or hold food in his mouth and not eat for a while episode in a while. YAY! Everything else with Grey is great!
Garett - Isn't talking much and the doctor is concerned about it. He wants me to work with him this month to get him to say more words. He has words Mama, Dada, Hi, but he would only say them when you said them to him first and repeat them. Now he is saying these words when he wants us or sees us and he is saying Hello and signing More, so that I think is an improvement. In July when I take him to his 18 month well child check, I will see what the Dr. thinks then.
Mike - He is good! Healthy and Happy! YAY! At least someone is!
Me - I had Bell's Palsy at the end of April, a very mild case of it thankfully. It started out with everything tasting like wax, then my right eye started twitching, then the right side of my mouth started twitching, then the bone behind my right ear started hurting and the right side of my face started to go numb. I couldn't feel anything on my lips and when I would rub them together, it felt weird. I couldn't wear my contact in my right eye too, it would be fuzzy and weird. So I started some steroids and that helped bring my face back! YAY! And I am now back to normal. Hopefully that doesn't happen again!

Our Health
Oh my heavens! 2015 has been the year of sickies or sickness or not being healthy. How about that! So we had our 6 weeks of February/March when we were sick. At the beginning of March, we all had Dentist appointments. Greyson has never been good with the Dentist, but something this time just set him off and it was a horrible visit. After that visit, Greyson started choking on everything he ate and had a weekend where he wouldn't eat anything. Finally he started eating crackers and eventually he started adding other foods to his meal. I had the Dr. check him out the end of March and there was nothing blocking his throat and it didn't look like it was constricted. So we made an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) appointment. We went to that appointment on Monday the 6th and we are starting him on Acid Reflux medication for the next 30 days to see if that helps. If it doesn't, we have a follow up appointment with the ENT in May to do further Allergy testing.
A couple weeks after Greyson started choking on food, Gavin started going to the bathroom every half hour. He would have to pee all the time but hardly anything would come out. His teacher at school even mentioned it to me as well. So, last Friday I took him to the Dr. There was nothing in his pee and we couldn't do a Glucose test, so we are thinking that it is stress and giving it a month. If it hasn't gone away by the end of April, we have the boys' well child checks and will bring it back up then for more testing.
Garett has had a really hard time with these molars he is getting in! Teething is so hard.
Mike and I have had colds for the last week (again!) AGH! Can't we all just be healthy?

School Update
Lets have a School update for Gavin and I, shall we?
Yesterday I got a letter in the mail from Fortis College telling me that I wasn't chosen for their April 2015 Dental Hygiene program. I had a minute of poor me, but then I remembered that I wouldn't be able to go even if I did get in and I have other plans for school now. There must be something better out there waiting for me.
Also yesterday, Gavin got a letter in the mail from Orchard Elementary in Orem accepting him into their Dual Immersion Spanish Program for next year. On his birthday, we received an email from BlackRidge Elementary in Eagle Mountain accepting him into their Chinese Dual Immersion Program for next year. We got a phone call on the 3rd of March from Harvest Elementary in Saratoga Springs stating that he wasn't selected into their Spanish Dual Immersion for next year. But he got into two programs. We had a decision to make. Gavin has been very vocal since January about Spanish, so it was really a no brainer for him to do Spanish. So we have committed to the Orchard Elementary Spanish Dual Immersion Program for next year. Luckily it is right down the street from my work, so I have signed him up for the 9:15-3:30 school day. Now I need to figure out what to do with him from 7-9 AM in Orem... and Early out Mondays...

Family Update
So now that I have updated with all the pictures in my phone (I still need to blog about our family pictures last year, Garett's first birthday pictures, our goals for the year, and Garett's stats for last year) I can do a Family Update blog...
Garett - Had his 1 year well child check and was only 20 lbs, I swear this kid is the heaviest kid I have ever had at his age. He doesn't compare. He still eats like a champ. 4 oz formula in the morning, 2 baby foods for breakfast, snacks, 2 baby foods for lunch, snacks, a toddler meal for dinner and usually some of what we are having and then 4 oz formula for dinner. He also drinks about a sippy cup and a half of milk everyday. He is in 12 month clothes, 18 month jammies and size 3 diapers, but I think it is time to move him up. He HATES to wear shoes and will cry if you put them on. He likes the TV for a minute but then goes on playing with toys. He wants to be with the boys all the time and tries really hard to keep up with them. He is not completely walking yet, but is getting closer every day. He loves to play with toys and hates it when mom leaves the room! He is a mostly happy boy until he doesn't get what he wants. He can say mom and dad and that is really it. He has 7 teeth now and is working on his 8th. He has crazy wicked hair that we need to get cut this weekend. He loves his bath. We love this boy!
Greyson - Has been doing really good on the Miralax front. He hasn't needed it for a couple months now, so that is good. He is in size 3T pants, 4T shirts and Jammies. He is completely potty trained day and night. He wears size 7 shoes. He likes preschool for the most part and says he learns stuff, but then sometimes says he doesn't want to go. He hates Primary though and has only gone once this whole year (partly because we have been sick). We have signed him up for Soccer, so we will see how that goes. He is my bully and if Gavin or Garett are crying, it is usually because Greyson did something to them. But he is my good boy at the same time. He is also a little daddy and tries to tell people what to do and how to do it. He is super independant too, has to do everything on his own. And he will only eat breakfast foods, no matter what. We love Grey!
Gavin - He loves Kindergarten. He learns so much and is doing so good. We signed him up for Soccer too so we will be running around a lot this spring. We have applied for Dual immersion programs for him for Spanish and Chinese as well as a Charter School, so around the middle of March, we should hear from those schools if he got into them. He is very interested in Spanish, so we will see. He is in size 5T clothes as well as child SM. He wears size 10 shoes. He loves primary and his class and teachers. He is mostly a good boy. He does have an attitude at night with us and gets super cranky, but we are trying to work on that and fix it. He is reading really good. He is learning so much! We love Gavin!
Mike - Started a new job the end of January. He now works at Jake's Automotive in American Fork/Pleasant Grove. It is flat rate so we aren't making exactly what we were before, but hopefully things will start to pick up. He is still doing the Navy thing, that that is going good for him. He has a new calling too, he is in the Primary. He has done that for a couple weeks now and likes his class. We are starting some home remodeling soon, so he will be busy with that. We are going to put hardwood flooring in our kitchen and dining room. Then we will hopefully finish the bedroom in the basement that is close to being done. We need more room in our tiny house for these 3 growing boys.
Me - I took this semester off to see if I could get into the Dental Hygiene program, but now I don't know if it will work out. So I am just working and hanging out at home. I think my new game plan is to finish my Math class at SLCC and graduate with an Associates. Then transfer to Western Governors University and take their online program for a Bachelors in Accounting. That way it can be done all online and I don't have to quit my job to do it. I am still in the Nursery and of course love that calling. I am hoping to help Mike do some stuff around the house to open it up for our growing family. Other then that, I am just trying to recover from 2 ER visits and my own sicknesses this month. Excited to see what the next couple months and remodeling will bring us :)

Family Update
Lets end todays posts with a Family Update, because it has been a while, shall we?
Garett: He is 10 months old now and giving me a run for my money. He is my earliest to crawl and all that fun stuff. He still eats 6 formula bottles a day, and about 18 ounces a day. He also eats his fruits and vegetables very well everyday. He will eat pancakes and french toast, bread, pasta, rice and other fun stuff like that. He sleeps in his pack-n-play in our room every night from about 8 to 5:30. He is in size 3 diapers and size 12 month clothes. He is my fastest growing baby too. Both other boys would still be in 6-9 month clothes at this point. He loves to bounce and play and eat really is what he does right now. He does nap twice a day and is really good about that.
Greyson: I am telling you, this kid will be the death of me. He loves nursery now that I am in there with him. That will change in 6 weeks when he goes to primary. He loves cereal and pop tarts and granola bars and string cheese, but that is all he will really eat. He loves this new show that we found on Netflix called Oscars Oasis. He won't take naps anymore and loves going to preschool. He is in size 7 shoes and size 3T clothes. He is fully potty trained during the day (I think I didn't blog about that) but we still put pull ups on him at night. Some mornings he wakes up dry and others he doesn't. We are still giving him Miralax every couple days or so just to make sure things are moving. He likes to read books with Gavin and I at night and is learning so much.
Gavin: Gavin loves Kindergarten. He has a lot of friends and is learning so many new things and can read, it is awesome! He is my Christmas child and really should have been born at Christmas. My first pregnancy we were due on Christmas Day but had a miscarriage, so maybe he really is my Christmas baby, just 3 months later. He loves Christmas movies, music, decorations, Santa. He is in Size 5T clothes and size Child Small and 4/6 Child. He is pretty much potty trained day and night. He loves to read books for the most part and love to color and draw pictures and tell stories from the pictures he draws. Gavin loves to play the Wii and would play it all day every day if we would let him. He also loves to do homework and asks me everyday if we can do his homework for the day.
Michael: Is interested in going to school, but can't decide if he wants to do Nursing or Airplane Mechanic. He was just released as the Bear Scout Leader so he is in between callings right now. He is still working at K&S in Lehi and about half of the time, likes it. We are working on saving some money so that we can finish the basement so that in a couple months we can move things around and have a place for all the boys.
Me: I have 2 more weeks left of school and then break for the Christmas Break. I am trying to decide (if Mike decides not to go back right away) if I want to quit my job and go to school full time in April (if I get into the Dental Hygiene) program or if I want to continue to work (slowly) toward getting my pre reqs. I am still in the Nursery and love it! Other than that, working full time, going to school, taking care of 3 boys and a husband and running a household. You know. I think that is the update from us.

We are still giving him Miralax every couple days or so just to make sure things are moving. He likes to read books with Gavin and I at night and is learning so much.
Gavin: Gavin loves Kindergarten. He has a lot of friends and is learning so many new things and can read, it is awesome! He is my Christmas child and really should have been born at Christmas. My first pregnancy we were due on Christmas Day but had a miscarriage, so maybe he really is my Christmas baby, just 3 months later. He loves Christmas movies, music, decorations, Santa. He is in Size 5T clothes and size Child Small and 4/6 Child. He is pretty much potty trained day and night. He loves to read books for the most part and love to color and draw pictures and tell stories from the pictures he draws. Gavin loves to play the Wii and would play it all day every day if we would let him. He also loves to do homework and asks me everyday if we can do his homework for the day.
Michael: Is interested in going to school, but can't decide if he wants to do Nursing or Airplane Mechanic. He was just released as the Bear Scout Leader so he is in between callings right now. He is still working at K&S in Lehi and about half of the time, likes it. We are working on saving some money so that we can finish the basement so that in a couple months we can move things around and have a place for all the boys.
Me: I have 2 more weeks left of school and then break for the Christmas Break. I am trying to decide (if Mike decides not to go back right away) if I want to quit my job and go to school full time in April (if I get into the Dental Hygiene) program or if I want to continue to work (slowly) toward getting my pre reqs. I am still in the Nursery and love it! Other than that, working full time, going to school, taking care of 3 boys and a husband and running a household. You know. I think that is the update from us.
Garett Milk Update
In September, Garett had another flare up of his eczema. But this time it was on his belly, not his forehead. We got it under control and it hasn't been as bad as it was since, so hopefully we can start and finish the winter good. We changed his laundry detergent and fabric softener and we stopped washing him every other day with soap. We only wash him once a week and lather him up every day in Cetaphil. He is still on Similac Sensitive Formula.
Greyson Hand Update
One of the last things I blogged before I took my break was about Greyson's hand and how he burned it. It is going so good and he doesn't mention it or complain about it at all. It actually
looks normal. He burned it when he was helping me make dinner which he used to do all the time. Well, his first day of preschool, he helped me make dinner again! I loved it!

I only had to tell him about 4 times that the stove was hot and to not touch it. I am not going through a burn hand situation again!
24th of July
Alright, alright, alright! It is time to start blogging again! I have wondering if I should give up blogging and stick to Facebook and Instagram to share all our stories and pictures, but I just keep coming back to I can print my blog out and share it with the boys (Even though I haven't even finished my last year blog book and printed it yet, and it is almost already time for this years blog book to be printed!) I am running behind. So, lets get started where we left off with the 24th of July!!!
The Fourth of July this year we went up to my Mother-In-Law's house and helped her clean stuff out because she just moved, so there wasn't anything big that happened that day.
The 24th of July we spent the day together after one of our long time friend and neighbor Sister Scott passed away! We still miss her so much!
We shot off fireworks, which Greyson still hates and Gavin still loves. The jury is still out on Garett. Here is Greyson enjoying the fireworks while being funny in the house.

5 Months Old
Haha - I can blog about my baby being 5 months old, but I am having a hard time blogging about his 2 month and 4 month well child checks and such. Well, at least you can see a current picture of him! 5 weeks old on Tuesday, June 10th! Love this little stinker!

Wallenberg Family Update
So, see, this is what happens. I get busy, and crazy and don't update the blog. Then my mom calls me and drops the hint "update your blog." Ugh, I know, I am so busy. Here is an update...followed by Gavin's birthday update, Garett's blessing update, Greyson's birthday update and all three of the boys' well child check updates...how is that...Maybe some Easter too, and we can do a quick post on the crappiness that was MAY! Let's start with a Wallenberg Family update, shall we?
Garett: Oh my, He is a chunk. He stopped sleeping until 4 a couple weeks ago which lead me to believe I wasn't making though milk, so I started supplementing the last feeding of the day with Rice Cereal. We started with 5 ounces of BreastMilk and 1 tablespoon of Cereal and we are now up to 7.5 ozs and 4 tablespoons just to get him to sleep to 4 am! Crazy right? Since that started I have basically lost my milk and he is eating everything I have stocked up in the freezer as well as formula now. He is on Similac Sensitive (in case anyone wants to buy us some...it is expensive...) and seems to be doing well when we give it to me. He has a whole Dairy allergy which I am sure I haven't posted about because it has been 3 months or so since my last update. He is still in 3-6 month clothes but I think we will move him up to 6-9 month clothes this weekend, size 2 diapers until he runs out of those and likes to splash in his bath! He has found his hands and likes to suck on them and find toys with them. He is sleeping in his own bed until his feeding when I feed him and we go back to sleep. It is so nice to have him in his own bed :) His Dairy allergy makes it so he is gassy and fussy a lot, but we are working through it. I think we are going to move to Formula next week, so hopefully it gets better.
Greyson: He is in 24 Month and 2T pants and 3T shirts. He is still in Diapers (size 5). We have been trying to work with him on potty training and he gets really excited for it, but then when it comes time, he doesn't want to do it anymore. He is a good, for the most part, eater. He likes French Toast Sticks, Cereal, Pop Tarts, Pancakes, Sausage, and Chicken Nuggets. He talks really really well. He knows all his ABCs and is starting with the sounds they make and writing them. He knows his colors and shapes. He is a big temper tantrum thrower though. We love that. He has to go to sleep with the light on and a sippy cup of juice. He is just a funny kid. He is the bully and most of the time is hurting Gavin. He loves Garett and loves to kiss and hug him and help him. He did burn his hand on May 12th, it was not a fun time but it has been almost a month and his hand is so much better and not wrapped anymore. He also had 2 hospital visits in May, one for a fever for 3 days that didn't go away and for his hand. We visited the dr. 5 times in May and everytime, he was seen. It was a crazy busy month.
Gavin: He finished his 2nd year of Preschool and is excited and ready to go to Kindergarten. He is doing well at the potty training thing and even at night. Sometimes it is rough, but he makes it most the time. He knows all his alphabet of course, all the sounds they make, a lot of his numbers and is starting to sound words out to read. He is a big helper with his brothers. He did get sick in May and had a fever to end the month, and also had a rash, but nothing as bad a Greyson. He is sleeping in his twin size bed and really wants to get bunk beds...We will see. He is not really an eater but likes all the breakfast foods and chicken nuggets too.
Mike: He is still at K&A auto in Lehi. He will be going on a military training from June 10-21 so we will miss him then. His new calling is Bear Leader in the Cub Scouts and he likes it for the most part. He has been thinking about going to school for Nursing, or his A&P license, but we will see what he decides to do. Nothing really other then that new for him.
Me: Lost my milk, my new calling is Nursery Leader...And I love it! I think with the stress of May, lack of sleep, all the sickness and not being able to eat like I have in the past because of the Dairy Allergy, it finally caught up with me and I am losing my milk slowly. It has been a struggle. Last weekend I had horrific Allergies as well, so that didn't help my situation with the Milk. Other than that, I am just plugging along. I am looking at a Dental Hygiene school in Salt Lake and will apply for admission for next April, so hopefully that will help us. We are slowly but finally making a dent in our debt, which is also nice. We will have the Durango paid off next month and next will be the Credit Cards with the small balances and then we can apply that amount to the credit cards with the bigger balances and hopefully be in a better financial situation at the end of the year. I am excited about that!
Stay tuned for more posts...hopfully this weekend!

Family Update
It has been a hot minute since I have done a family update - So here we go:
Garett: Eats every 3 hours and has a 5 hour stretch at night but then is awake for 2 hours after feeding. He loves his bouncy chair, but doesn't like his swing very much. He sleeps with us at night or in his bouncy chair because anywhere else he doesn't sleep, so I don't sleep. He nurses really well, and the one time we have done the bottle, it has been alright. Hopefully he will get used to it before I go back to work in 2 weeks. He is in 0-3 Month clothes and size 1 diapers. He is growing and we all love him so much and are super lucky he is with us.
Greyson: Still doesn't want to potty train, but knows what he is doing and how to do it for the most part. Talks about himself in the 3rd person...Greyson is done eating, Greyson wants to stay home, fun stuff like that. He is doing so much better sleeping at night in his own bed. He used to come into our room every other night but hasn't done it in a couple weeks now. He loves his little brother and wants to hold him and carry him all the time. He is in 3T shirts, 24 Month and 2T pants and size 5 diapers as well as size 6 shoes. One day we will potty train him. He likes Dinosaur Train and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. He is still on every other day Miralax and we weighed him yesterday and he was 28 pounds. He is excited to go to Preschool next year, but we will need to figure that out for him because the Teacher who taught Gavin the last 2 years is moving on to a school. Knows all his letters, and we are working on colors and numbers and shapes
Gavin: Loves Preschool, is writing all his letters and is learning numbers. He is in 5T shirts, 4T Pants and hasn't had an accident in a while. He is in size 9 shoes. He likes to watch anything on PBS as well as Phineas and Ferb. We are working on his Cinco de Gavin 5th birthday party. He is excited to go to Kindergarten next year. Other than that he is a big helper with Greyson and Garett and getting things for me when I need it and doing things around the house. He loves to vacuum with the vacuum he got for Christmas as well as pick up all the cars and toys at the end of the day.
Mike: Still working, and trying to decide what he is going to do with the Military. I think we have decided that we won't stay in the Navy but it is deciding to get out or to go with the Army. He is the Mustering Petty Officer in the Navy and has Drill weekend this weekend and had it 2 weeks ago, so it has been a busy couple weeks.
Me: Only have 2 more weeks of Maternity Leave before I go back to work on the 24th of Feb. Working on Gavin's birthday party and Garett's blessing then it will be on to Greyson's birthday party. It has been a nice couple weeks not having to really do any YW stuff, but I am ready to get back to it at the same time. Doing school but I am only taking one class this semester. I was signed up for 3 classes but was planning to drop Chemistry but with the lack of sleep and taking care of a baby all the time as well as 2 other boys, I dropped my Math class too (Sorry mom, I will get on it one day) So I am taking Sociology. I am hoping to take at least 2 classes this summer then hopefully I can be back up to 3 classes in the Fall. One day I will finish school!
And that is the update! Enjoy these phone pictures from the last couple weeks!

Rantings and Ravings
I had lots of titles to this post...Thoughts of my last pregnancy...Rantings of a 36 week prego...Final thoughts on my final pregnancy...You get it, but with being sick this week and only have 3 weeks until my induction date, I felt it needed to be titled Rantings and Ravings.
This Pregnancy has kicked my butt. I thought Greyson's was bad with testing positive for Group Strep B and having to be induced, but it was 10x better than this one.
At least I don't have Gestational Diabeties! Pregnancy in your 30s is so much harder than in the 20s. I don't know if it is because I already have 2 kids, and am working full time with a pretty demanding calling while taking 9 College Course Credits online that has kicked my butt, but I am struggling.
School is over for now. The Holidays are now past (which I never want to be this pregnant and/or sick during Christmas ever again!) and I am hoping we can get through the next 3 weeks going back to school and work and not getting sick before we need to get into a new normal of 3 boys! I miss ibuprofen! Tylenol just doesn't cut it. I always feel like I have been kicked in the down there area. I have gained 41 pounds so far with this pregnancy..the most I have ever gained and weighed in my life. I am glad I am pregnant and know this baby has a plan and purpose to be here with our family, but it is hard and I am getting through it, but not very gracefully I feel like.
I am not meaning to complain, but Greyson jumping on my belly all the time and all the pain I feel will be worth it in the end, when I don't have a belly to jump on anymore and the pain is gone :) Hopefully I can make it another 3 weeks. I guess I don't really have a choice in the matter, he will either come before than or be forced out on January 17th!

Baby Update
So, I am 34 weeks pregnant, planning to be induced on the 17th of January which gives me 5 weeks 3 days left and I feel like I haven't even said anything about this pregnancy since 20 weeks.
At 28 weeks I failed the glucose test, and had to go to the 3 hour one which was not cool at all. I did at least get some Psychology studying done, but it was still not cool to do. I did pass that one and everything else has been on track this pregnancy. I have gained so far the most with this one and still going, I am at 37 lbs gained. I only gained 30 with Gavin and 20 with Greyson. I weight the most I have ever weighted before too. It should be fun getting it off.
My last appt. the Dr. said he thought he weighted 5 lbs...Holy big baby...I still had 8 weeks to go then too. Hopefully he is just being generous. Other than that, he moves around like crazy, he will probably be another Greyson. I will totally have my hands full! Gavin is super excited to have another baby and Greyson knows that he isn't the baby anymore, the baby is in mom's belly and he lets you know it. Hopefully this little guy keeps cooking and stays in until the 17th! That is when I am planning for him!

Soccer
Gavin started soccer a couple weeks ago and loving it for the most part. This is him before his first game in which he didn't play until I left to go to Young Women's :) Silly kid. Hopefully he will get the hang of it before the end of the season in a couple weeks!
Preschool 2013
Gavin had his first day of second year preschool today. He of course loved it and can't wait to go back and for all the fun stuff they are going to do this year!
His favorite food is: Chicken Nuggets
His favorite color is: Red
When he grows up he wants to be: Daddy

Broken
Gavin had his follow up doctor's appointment yesterday for his arm. The Doctor looked at the x-ray, then at his hand and saw how the last 10 days in the splint wasn't holding up very well and said that he recommended we cast it. He said it has been after the initial 5 days of swelling and the break was really a bad one, and the splint wasn't holding up, so we decided to cast his arm. He chose red and it was really neat to watch the process of the cast being done. It takes like 5 minutes and is all pliable at first then hardens. He needed to be in it for 3 more weeks and then we can get it cut off and get another x-ray to see how it looks. After we took the splint off he was kind of freaking out and saying it still hurt, but as soon as the cast was set, he was ready to go again and hasn't complained about it since. What a little trooper he is.

Buckle Fracture
It has been a busy weekend. Yesterday was Mike's drill weekend so I was with myself with the boys. We were getting ready to go to church and I was finishing the stuff I needed for my lesson in Young Women's. We went outside, I remembered I needed to get pictures, so we went back inside. I thought I had everything and so I opened the garage door for us to go back outside, and out the boys went. I remembered there was another picture I wanted in the dining room so I turned back to get it and heard crash, screaming and crying. I thought at first it was Greyson, but then nope, it was Gavin. We came inside, I got mad at him for rushing down the stairs because that is when people get hurt, gave him some Tylenol and we relaxed on the couch for a minute. He just kept complaining about it. I called Mike on my way to Church and asked him if he could come home after telling him what had happened. We went to Church and he was still sad and saying it hurt. He told me he just didn't want to feel his hand anymore. Right before my lesson started, Mike showed up and took the boys home (Thank goodness)! When I got home from Church Mike said we needed to go get it checked out. We got the the ER about 5:15ish and went the rounds with them. They were actually pretty busy. We got a "room" and Gavin went back for an X-Ray and flirted with the X-Ray tech telling her "You are cute." Oh my, what a ham! We got the X-Ray back and he has a Buckle fracture right on his right wrist. They splinted it and said he has to wear it for 4 weeks, nonstop. At least it will be off before Preschool starts :) So he is on lots of Motrin for the pain, the splint and rest for 4 weeks. Hopefully it heals properly. And no more running down the Garage stairs.

Another Family Update?
Well, I don't mind if I do... Another Family Update - I know it has only been a month, but a lot has happened.
Greyson - Still talks awesome...and is starting to make up his own words and put them into his sentences. Crazy kid. He does good with his ABCs and counting. He still doesn't know colors, but we will get there. Still doesn't eat good, but will eat Sausage, Pancakes, French Toast, and any other Breakfast food you give him, but doesn't like really anything else. He has serious stranger danger and doesn't like going to nursery, unless I am there with him. He is still on Miralax, but what else is new? He likes to watch Shawn the Sheep and Phineas and Ferb. He loves to listen to music and dance to it. He has become very independent and wants to do everything himself with no help. All in all, he is growing and learning and we love him.
Gavin - Can't wait to go to preschool in September. Will start Soccer next month (Hopefully). Loves hanging out with the babysitters and doing fireworks. We are trying to teach him how to ride a big boy bike with training wheels. He fell off once and won't get back on. He loves to walk around the neighborhood and go shopping with us. He loves Sundays and going to church. He loves his Sunbeam class and teachers. He likes to watch Phineas and Ferb and also to listen to music. He asked for a Vacuum for Christmas so he can help clean. Crazy kid. He gets himself dressed everyday and in jammies every night. We love Gavin and are so glad he is in our family.
Mike - Same old, same old. Still working. We are trying to come up with money to carpet our downstairs room, then we can finish it and move down there and get room for this new baby. He has been working on the downstairs to get it organized. He is still working on deciding what he is doing with the Military and what he is going to do about getting an A&P License. Still doing monthly drill weekends.
Me - I got moved from Mia Maids to Beehives. I miss the Mia Maids, but Beehives are so much less dramatic (So far ) :) Of Course...Pregnant. 14 weeks 2 days today. Still feeling sick and tired all the time. I don't eat very well because all the crappy food is what sounds good. Still working like mad, and getting ready to start Fall semester with 13 credit hours. I will be going crazy come September. Pregnant, 2 kids, Husband, Full time job, going to school full time, calling...
Other than that, we are trying to sell some more stuff and make some more room for all the baby stuff we already got rid of to be ready for the new baby. Everything is going good and we are surviving. Love you all!
Greyson - Still talks awesome...and is starting to make up his own words and put them into his sentences. Crazy kid. He does good with his ABCs and counting. He still doesn't know colors, but we will get there. Still doesn't eat good, but will eat Sausage, Pancakes, French Toast, and any other Breakfast food you give him, but doesn't like really anything else. He has serious stranger danger and doesn't like going to nursery, unless I am there with him. He is still on Miralax, but what else is new? He likes to watch Shawn the Sheep and Phineas and Ferb. He loves to listen to music and dance to it. He has become very independent and wants to do everything himself with no help. All in all, he is growing and learning and we love him.
Gavin - Can't wait to go to preschool in September. Will start Soccer next month (Hopefully). Loves hanging out with the babysitters and doing fireworks. We are trying to teach him how to ride a big boy bike with training wheels. He fell off once and won't get back on. He loves to walk around the neighborhood and go shopping with us. He loves Sundays and going to church. He loves his Sunbeam class and teachers. He likes to watch Phineas and Ferb and also to listen to music. He asked for a Vacuum for Christmas so he can help clean. Crazy kid. He gets himself dressed everyday and in jammies every night. We love Gavin and are so glad he is in our family.
