Happy News

I know it's been a long time since I've posted, but we've been pretty busy since Aiden got out of school in May...We have been camping, and we have been fishing, and we have been to the pool, and lots of activities here on base. But biggest of all we found out we are expecting another baby!! We are due on Feb. 15, 2011. We are all very excited, even Aiden. He is excited to be a "big broher", he wants to have a "sister baby". We are all hoping for a girl, but we will take whatever God decides to bless us with, as long as it is healthy and hopefully this time full term. We will be doing everything in our power to keep me pregnant the whole time. Though, we did get some other news, Jeremy will be deploying on Sept. 13 to Al Udeid, and will be back in January. Just in time for the baby to be born. Other than that life has just been about keeping Aiden busy. Here are a few pics of him to tide people over til the next post, which should be more often now that I am pregnant, I will be posting to update people on what is going on.
Here is Aiden at his first Dance Recital, isn't he adorable, the only boy with all those girls...
And here he is on his first camping trip, he loved it, especially being inside the tent, he thought that was great fun....
This is from Memorial Day weekend, we had some friends over and put out the slip and slide for the kids, they had a blast....
Then we went later that night to the local cemetary and pulled up all the flags and crosses from all the military plots, Aiden was so proud of himself for helping, and we were so proud of him for being such a big boy...

Aiden's School Pictures

As promised, here are the pictures we got from Aiden's school. One is his individual school picture, and the other is his class picture. I am sure you can figure out which is which....So, there you go, my handsome little boy in his first school pictures looking as dapper as can be :). Don't you just love it when the smile big for pictures?

It's Been a While

It's been quite a while since I posted. Valentine's Day was a long time ago, we are well into March now. Aiden had his first school pictures taken and we got them back. They turned out adorable, as usual with him. He is doing GREAT in his dance class, and he gets a chance to actually perform for the first time on the same day as the March of Dimes : March for Babies. It will be literally immediately after the walk. We will have to leave right after we are done walking to get to the recital in time. He is also doing very well in school. We had our first Parent Teacher Conference at the beginning of the month. His teacher said that coming from where he started when he joined the class, and given that he had only been there for 3 months at the time, he had made HUGE strides in his progress. She was very proud of how far he had come. And so are we, he went from not talking and just babbling, to speaking in sentences. Sometimes the words aren't clear, but he will speak in 5 to 6 word sentences. That is a GIGANTIC difference from where he started. He will also engage other children in play, where as before he would just stand and watch what they were doing. So, Aiden is doing really well. Jeremy is doing pretty well, his back is giving him trouble a lot again. And he is working pretty much all the time, 12 hour shifts during the week, and 8 to 4 on Saturdays and Sundays again, so we don't get much time together right now, but it is only for a little while, and it will be over quickly enough, and back to normal hours again eventually. Tonight we are going to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D and leaving Aiden with some friends of ours so we get some alone time. I can't wait for that! I am getting pretty busy myself. I am currently in charge of our squadrons Spouses Club, which is just getting started up. I am also the team captain of our family team for March of Dimes: March for Babies, which is really a difficult thing to do, let me tell you. I am having trouble recruiting members for the team and getting donations for the team too. So, if anyone out there actually reads this...besides Katie Turnure, who has already made a donation...could you either join the team and walk with us, or make a donation to our team... Here is the link to go to to make a donation or join the team it works for both. I am also in the McConnell Players here on base, the bases theatre group, and we are putting on a variety show called "Totally '80's: Like Gag Me With a Spoon". Its going to be great, it will be the 7th and 8th of May if anyone would like to come out and see me sing and dance in it. I will be singing "Hey Mickey" and dancing "Thriller". It should be a riot. Aside from all of that, I have been just being Aiden's mom which is a full time job in and of itself. Which I love every minute of. So, that is our life right now....I will post pictures of Aiden's school pictures later on today or tomorrow for all to see...til then, enjoy folks.

Valentine's Day

Well, we had a pretty low key Valentine's Day around the Sinclair house this year. We watched a movie in the bedroom while Aiden played. Jeremy and I watched "The Time Traveler's Wife", and Aiden enjoyed himself playing and bringing toys in to us while we were watching. In the evening we went to a friends house for dinner and fun times hanging out. One of our friends made homemade Mexican food that we ate at another friends house and the kids watched Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and had quesadillas. The adults are all going out for dinner without the kids tomorrow night while the kids are babysat by 2 girls who are willing to take on 6 kids under the age of 7. It will be the first time we will ALL get to go out without the kids, usually it is the ladies, or the guys, or just a couple of us at a time that get to go out. So, this will be a nice change of pace. I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day, and have a wonderful President's Day.

New Car

Well, new old car. We are now amongst the 2 car households again! Yay for us! Last night we bought a used car from another military family, a Navy chief who works at a recruitment center. It is a '93 BMW M3. It is black, and it is in really good condition . It has leather interior, and all the upgrades that Jeremy wanted, and all the things that we needed. (like that it runs) Here are a few pictures of our newish car...

Strep

Little Man has Strep Throat. Symptoms started on Friday when he woke up from his nap with a fever. The fever lasted all weekend. Then on Sunday when he got up from his nap he had a rash all over his torso, so we took him in to the doctor on Monday morning and it turns out to be strep. So, he is home from school, driving momma nuts:). He feels just fine other than his throat being a little sore and having the rash, because he is playing just like normal. So, he will be back to school on Thursday, once the meds have had a chance to do their work. Otherwise, things are normal!

Nothing Much

Well, I just wanted to update everyone with this really short little blog. Literally really short. We have been up to nothing much recently. Aiden started back to school after his Christmas break, and is enjoying himself fully. Jeremy went back to work after his leave and is starting some training classes to complement what he learned in tech school. And I have been doing things around the house. Laundry, cleaning the floors and the kitchen, keeping the rest of the house a little picked up. Not much like I said. Other than that, we hang out with our friends the Lanes and the Padrons every now and then in the evening or on the weekends and the kids play while we chat or play on the Wii. We have all become very fond of Sorry Sliders on Hasbro Family Game Night. :) Very fun game. I hope everyone else is having as low key a new year as we are! We sure are enjoying it!
