Arney's

Ok So I know I haven't updated in so long and was looking over my pictures from April-present and figured I would just tell you what we have been doing. I will post pictures from the last few months. But To go back to April is just too much and I will totally get exhausted trying to upload all of them, So from here on out I promise to keep the blog updated with all of our happenings.

Our summer was filled with so many special memories. Justin turned 30! We went to Nana's and Popa's pool a couple times and the boys really enjoyed that :) Brenden wanted to swim so bad by himself (especially when Jaxson was doing so) But he hadn't gotten enough practice and frankly I was scared he would drown. We went to the Seattle Aquarium for the first time, My biggest fear was realized when Bubb took off and we couldn't find him, Well eventually we did and he knew he was in trouble, he didn't do it again. We went to the water park quit a bit and also played on our deck as well. He loves to watch the cars and trucks go by on Kitsap Way. Brenden was assessed through the Bremerton school district because at him 3 year appt. he was behind (what they said was allot) We decided that this year we would wait to enroll him in Pre-school and that We would have some Cirriculum and structured time to have him do thing at home. One of the categories he qualified for was speech therapy, so he will be doing that one day a week for 30 minutes we are hoping that with this we can better understand what he is saying and be able to communicate together better. He has amazed us by how much he has progressed since May. Brenden is such a loving little boy, he is sensitive and LOVES his brother always talking to him and picking him up. He is such a blessing to us and we know that God gave us Brenden for a reason, just the way he is. Justin and I struggle at times with our frustration and are constantly checking our hearts and our motives with him. He loves to read books and right now is obsessed with watching the same Leap frog movies over and over again. He knows all of the letters of the Alphabet and the sounds they make. Justin and I have noticed that he has an amazing memory. Potty training is going good EXCEPT he will not poop in the toilet!! so we continue to struggle with that and his timing. I am planning to do allot of things with the kids this fall/winter to get them out of the house, so they don't go crazy!! library, sheridan park and what ever else I find out about.

Jake-poo, Is a sweet little guy he has such a loving spirit about him and his smile will light up your heart. He is 10 months old and he is a mover!!! nothing like Bubb was he is crawling everywhere, pulling himself up and walking back and forth on the furniture. he is so funny too always doing the funniest things like he is trying to be silly so you will laugh! He is nursing allot still which I don't mind, He is still waking up at night 2-3 times. He is a really good eater, I think he might be 19 pounds, I have been kinda slacked on the Pediatrician appointments, but he has one this month so we will see. He LOVES his DADDY and always crawls right to him when he gets home. He also Loves his Brother and Isyss, Tee-Tee, and all of his grandparents :) He is a busy kid and Justin and I know as soon as he starts walking we are in for it!

Here are a couple of videos :) Make sure your volume is on so you can hear the laughs!
