It has been forever since I last blogged! I feel like winter dragged on forever and that we would never stop getting sick. I am happy to report that spring is in the air :) We have been super busy, who isn't these days?
I am 39 weeks pregnant and I go in on Monday for a c-section. We are really excited! After tearing my house apart a month ago I am pleased to say that as of last night it is all in order and clean again.I love a clean home!
Ricky has been staying busy with work, church, being super dad, and an amazing husband! He is the best :)

Caleb is so much fun! He is the best little boy ever. He amazes me every day and find my self wondering when he got to be so big. He will do or say something and I don't even know where he learned it. He loves to play outside and has become a pro at riding his bike.

We were able to attend an event for our local TARC where they had tons of fun activities for the kids one being taking a ride on a horse or pony. I thought for sure Caleb would freak out once he got up and change his mind but he didn't, he loved it! One of those moments where I stop and realize just how big and brave he is getting. He plays soccer on Saturday mornings, he is so fun to watch. He has been potty trained since the first of April.. I am loving it! We tried on and off for quit some time but he just wasn't ready.... we decided to try again one weekend and he has been in underwear since. Love it!

He has such an imagination! He will go from being a dog one day to a super hero the next. He cracks me up! He has been asking for a small dog, the answer is no but he keeps asking. I wonder when he will figure it out ;) He makes me laugh everyday! He reminds me to be kind and loving towards all... he has the sweetest, purest spirit!

Hannah! Where to begin? She has been through a lot lately and is still making leaps and bounds of progress! We are blessed by this sweet girl who always keeps us close to the spirit. She also got to ride a pony and was smiles the entire time. We are going to see if we can get her into hippo therapy. It is supposed to help her balance. We also started water therapy with but have not really been able to go much due to her surgeries and how busy we have been. That to should help her balance as well.

We decided in February to go ahead and start the process of opening her right nasal passage so she could breath better, eat better, and have more stamina overall. We scheduled the 1st surgery in March knowing that there would be a few more to follow but somewhere communication was lost and we failed to really understand how closely spaced the surgeries need to be. We thought 3 months apart...nope more like 3-4 weeks apart. What a mess! The 1st one was so hard on her body and we were there for 5 days. The second went great, and the third I canceled due to how much we had going on and the baby coming. So pray that the hole will stay open and she will only have to have one more surgery :)

Hannah also loves to be outside! She can walk and stand with assistance. This is huge! She is so close to doing it on her own but she has to learn confidence in her surroundings and abilities. She doesn't have a sense of balance so next you would use your vision to balance but since that is weaker than the average person as well it has been a more difficult process. She can pull her self up in crib... this is huge as well! She gets stronger each day and I am so excited for her to walk on her own. She is one sassy frass of a girl! I could give those cheeks of hers kisses all day if she would hold still long enough to do so. She is amazing!

I love being a mom! It is one of my greatest joys in life :) They teach more about life than I could ever learn else where. I understand why Heavenly Father says to be as a child. They are loving and kind towards all and so forgiving. They bring Ricky and I happiness and peace each and every day! Enjoy your sweet children... they grow so fast!

With love,
Sam
