I know...stop with the pics

Here are more pictures that I had on my phone and wanted to share. Hope you checked out the 150 I just posted before these. I just can't help myself. HA HA.

2 months

So much has happened since I last posted. Jonathan is growing at an awesome speed. At his 2 month check, he was 10 lbs 2 oz and 22 inches long. We just took him the other day for a check for his tummy and he was 10 lbs 9 oz. His tummy is fine, but he has reflux and started on Zantac. He is doing so much better now that he has his medicine! You will see in the pictures that he has also started daycare. We have him in a very small home daycare for the time being. We are on the waiting list for the Child Developement Center on base. We will see. Dylan is doing really well in school. He is working really hard and has been a HUGE help here at home. He helps us with the housework and with his Brother all of the time. We are so blessed to have him. Jonathan is so lucky to have the best Big Brother EVER! Dylan had his first football game last Saturday. He was really excited that his Daddy could be here this year for it. His Brother, Aunt Cindy, Presley and Dad all watched him make 2 out of the 3 touchdowns (one was an interception) and 3 "tackles" (pulled flags). The important thing is that he seemed to be having a GREAT time. As you all know, my Big Sister Charice was here for almost a month. I don't know what we ever did without her before. She was such a HUGE help. She watched the baby when I went back to work. She would send me pictures of him throughout the day to make it a bit better. She had dinner on the table every night for us and all while homeschooling Joe and dealing with Scott being back in Alaska for most of the time. When Scott came back down, he was the chef and Charice picked up cleaning the house for us. Now I think I need a nanny, cook, and housekeeper. Ha ha. Honestly, it was so wonderful to have her here and we are blessed that she will be living in Nebraska...the closest we have lived since before she left for the military! I hope to get to spend a lot more time with her in the future! We were able to take Charice and Joe to Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Jelly Belly Factory, and San Francisco. I think that they enjoyed it. The Boys even got to go trick or treating together. Grandma and Aunt Gigi and Uncle Larry came down for Trick or treat weekend and Aunt Sue flew in to pick up Grandma to take her back home! It was wonderful to get to see them all again! They only stayed the weekend, but it was nice to have them here when Charice was also here! You also know that I had my surgery to remove the tumor on my kidney. Everything went very well. The surgeon is sure he got all of the tumor. Unfortunately the pathology came back that the tumor was Cancer..Renal Cell Carcinoma. The great news is that is was very early and not aggressive, no chemo or radiation as of right now and it is gone. Thank God for great doctors, prayers and family and friends. Charice left after I got out of the hospital and Cindy (Brent's sister) and her daughter Presley (18 months) came in that night. Kaci and Katelynn (3yrs old) came in last Sunday. We had a wonderful time with all of the cousins together for the first time. They didn't stay very long and I was down for the count most of the time, but we did make it to Build a Bear and to a Winery! Unfortunately they all had to leave on Tues to head back to Washington. We are looking forward to Brent's parents coming in next week. I hope that you enjoy the pics. I am going to post another set of pictures that are from my phone that span the past two months and I just wanted to show you how much the boyz have changed. Thank you again for all of your thoughts and prayers. They have worked. We send our love to all of you. (I also have pics of my birthday in Carmel by the Sea and Brent and Dylan's Boat, "Momma's Dingy")
