Randoms...

LOL here are some of the boys... Luke loves basketball altho he wishes it were baseball... lol. Cant beat an energy burning activity. Liem is insane in every aspect. Hates diapers and goes nakie 95% of the day... Luke is also sporting his cowboy boots as he would call them... They are tooooooooo much fun!

Things are moving forward...

Welp it is almost 100% official... We are leaving Hawaii... Really and truly. I went this week and battled it out with TMO to get some dates nailed down. This whole issue was emotional draining and stressful. Since J is in school he will not get orders until the last second, some schools do it a month or a few weeks out... Not Camp Pendleton so J will more than likely get order 3 days before graduation... After a lot of what ifs anger, and some crying I us scheduled for a pack out date... Because let's face it in a few weeks nothing will be available. So excited and happy I don't have to worry about it anymore...

However now it is true we are leaving... Lola flies out on the 4th, I cancelled cable and Menehune, J graduates the 12th as well as us packing out, we have to get the car shipped at the last possible moment, and hop a flight to Cali before heading to Ohio for a month... And this is all in a month time span... Wow. I'm ready but the expedited plan stinks a little. :)

We have been talking to Luke a lot about the move. I don't think he gets it all but is grasping the fact that we are leaving Hawaii, visiting Ohio, and moving to Cali. He just tells me to make sure I pack his favorite clothes and toys... Kids.

Hope everyone else is well and that plans are falling into place for you all as well :)

Another one bites the dust...

Our poor little Toshiba bit the dust... Mind we we bought it used off of someone else a few years back. It has already batteled one virus and gotten a new hard drive. I have two efficent types of anti virus and spyware programs on the computer but some lameo has nothing better to to than stimulate the economy by hacking into compurters and infecting them... Makes me mad. I could have replaced the hard drive again but it is old and behind in terms of technology...

So I refuse to fall prey any longer we upgraded to a MacBook... Different yes, but easy to switch yes.... I havnt had to many difficulties yet but am trying to figure out buttons and what not. Things are different but it is a computer. I even added some extra Norton protection for safe measures... We have lost all of our pictures again... Thank God we have Dropshots. My biggest concern are my itunes... I cannot get into the old computer to switch the settings so that I can share my music on more than one computer.... Let's hope I figure it out...

Slowly we are becoming Apple people :) Luke likes the the apple on the back of my computer. Lol so simple to please.

Dr Update...

So I had to yet again hold down one of my children for a procedure... It never gets easier and I could feel the tears coming but I pushed through them. I hate putting them through pain, knowing they are scared and yet I am the one holding them down... I hate it... I can see Liem is a fighter and stubborn as hell. He fought through bit with every bit he had. Yes I wanted him to settle for the Dr but at the same time I am proud of him for fighting with all he had :)

The Dr says he tested postive for the virus CMV, and forgive me but I hvent researched it yet, but it is simialar to Taxio in that it happens in utero and can lie dorment forever. However Liem was ok today. Still scaring in the back or his right eye near his retinal vision but the scar is done and will not spread any further, he also does not have any other "new" lesions. So as of now he is good, but he will need follow up by a Retinal specialist every 6months or so... Of course I am nervous of what could be but all I can think now is thank God he has some vision and isnt blind. J keeps thinking of the worse case sceniros but bottom line is he can see, and we can strengthen that eye, It could have spread to his brain causing developmental delays but it didnt... I have to be thankful for that... Although I have wondered why... I just pray and ask everyone else to pray that this virus doesnt comeback... It is bad enough deal with the effects once I just hope it does not resurface...

And while we are praying if we oculd say one more for me... The Dr found a Mole she doesn't like and is sending me to a Derm. to have it looked at. I have been pretty adament about sunscreen lately but admit to slacking many times... Let's pray it is nothing serious... Thanks :)

Happy Mothers Day!

Just wanted to take a minute and wish all the Momma's out there a Happy Mother's Day. Being a Mother is amazing, rewarding, challenging, and at times overwhelming all rolled into one. Ours jobs are far harder than many imagine but we do it and we do not think of it as work. So on our day let's thank others, and pat ourselves on the back for the gift we have :)

I want to thank my boys on Mother's Day as well. I love these lil men more than they will ever know, or imagine. They are without a doubt in my mind the best thing that has ever happened to me. They have changed me as person and challenged me to see the world in a better light. I look forward to forever because I will spend it as their Mother :)

Somewhat clear. He is also working on Cow noises, pig noises, duck noises, and monkey noises. He thinks they are funny and I think they are cute when he says them.He is also repeating almost every and all words I say. Some come out funny and others sound close to what we say.

Not much else going on. We are waiting for some orders so we can get the move on... I thought about it today and we only have two paychecks left until we say aloha to hawaii... Im ready and I know I have talked about a lot but it is exciting and sad all in one... Soon we can make the move.
