The past three months have been filled with birthdays, but now all our kids are a year older! Rose turned 4 in December, Penny turned 2 in January, and Isaac turned 6 today. They are all getting so big! Here are some updates on them.
Rose
She is still such a sassy little girl. We're working on potty training still -- she actually was 100% potty trained when she was 3.5yrs old, but then she started regressing and she had to go back to pull-ups for a while. She loves to sing and dance and make up songs. She plays (fairly) well with her sister. She loves to go out to stores, whether it's to Target or the Commissary or even Home Depot, she always wants to go.
At her well child 4yr old checkup, she is 34.2lbs and 38.6in (Or 3feet 2.6inches).
Penny
We call her our wild child for a reason.. not only because her hair either! She runs around the house and squeals. She is also her sisters shadow and copies everything she does. Luckily, Rose doesn't mind in the slightest (I'm sure at some point it'll start to annoy her). She thinks he is a big girl (just like her siblings) and insists on doing anything they do, like walking instead of using a stroller or shopping cart while out and about. She's a little smarty pants and talks up a storm and has started counting well past 10. Her newest "trick" is that she can open and close the back sliding glass door all day long.. we've finally had to stick some wood in the door so she can't open it whenever she wants (she was also sneaking outside to play anytime she felt like it, so it was also a security measures as well).
At her well-child 2yr old check up, she is 26lbs and 32inches (or 2ft 8in)
Isaac
My oldest baby turn 6 today! Some days I just can't believe it. He's doing so well in school and I'm so proud of him. He's pretty good at reading books that are aimed at his age group (those Step-into-Reading books are a big help!). He's obsessed with anything dinosaurs, he loves the ocean, he'll play with LEGO's for hours and has to do everything by the instructions and just making things himself is uncalled of around here. We signed him up for baseball which will be starting this March and so far he's pretty excited about it and loves practicing outside with his dad, whether it's catching, throwing, or hitting.
At his well-child 6yr check up, he is 45lbs and 3ft 4.25
As for the family, we're all doing well. We are still in Hawaii, though not for long. We will either be leaving in May for Ohio or June for Maryland, it all depends on if Matt gets into the a master program held through the air-force which is located in Ohio. We find out March 15th the official word, so we're waiting... and waiting... and waiting. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Update
It's been a while since I have updated the blog. Life is just really busy with three kids :) I'll try and update every now and again, but it probably won't be monthly anymore. I do upload pictures to my Facebook account, which is public, which is here:

Went to a Pick-n-Paint with the kids one Saturday.

The day Matt re-enlisted, it was raining right up until it was time. We got to park by some cool planes.
Matt chose this specific spot because Isaac loves the Shark Plane (P-40).
