Our Freedom....

I know Veterans Day has come and passed but it is never to late to thank a soldier or veteran for all the sacrifice they've done to help protect our country. Today my heart sank in the worst way it can. As I was drive to pick my brothers up from school I was stopped at a light and looked over next to me, come to see 2 soldiers in their dress uniforms so I smiled and waved and they waved back but no smile. (Cj yelled daddy lol but he thinks everyone in a uniform is daddy) it wasn't till the light turned green and I saw that it was a government official car that my heart dropped. That is every soldiers wife or husband and families worst nightmare. Those 2 soldiers were going to go tell some poor family their soldier had died. I am so very grateful for the many soldiers who are and have sacrificed their lives to protect our freedom!

My Dad

I have the greatest Dad ever! He does so much for my family and I. He works his butt off to be able to help us out. We have had our ups and downs and he wasn't there as much as I would have like when I was younger but he is there for me now and that's all that matter to me :) I see my dad so much now because he works close to where I live now, it is awesome! My dad is so handy and creative. Today he turn Easton's Battary operated swing into a plug in. I didn't think It was possible until he plugged it in and it started going. He made my life so much easier and my wallet so much more fuller lol I don't know what I would do with out my dad. I really don't thinks he knows how much I love him and care about him! I love you so much Daddy!

The Longest Month Ever

I love my husband so much and all that he does for our family. its only been 2 weeks since ive seen or spoken to my husband. i miss seeing his face everyday and night and the sound of his voice just to know that he is ok and i still have a little more then 2 weeks to go! i am going crazy. James is my other half, my best friend i honestly do not know what i would do with out him. He is an amazing husband and father to both our boys. they both are so much like him its not even funny. Cj has his personality all the way lol which i am not so sure is such a good thing, and Easton always has the same grumpy look that James has all the time. i just hope they grow up to be amazing dads just like James is! You really know how much you care for someone when you cant see or talk to them for a month. i miss all the silly and goofy things he does!

 

 

 

Thanksgiving needs to get here faster I MISS MY HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wettstein Update...

i really need to keep up with my blogging last time i blogged i was 14 week pregnant Easton :) so ill give you a little update as to what the Wettstein Family has been up too since my last blog.

Well i had Easton on August 14, 2012 ( 9 days before Cj's birhday so now i have 2 August babies <3 ) at 11:30 pm. He weight 8 lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long. He looks so much like James its not even funny, he always has the same grumpy look his dad. It was an amazing labor. James' unit was having a Brigade Fun day that day with a BBQ and games for the Soldiers and their families. At about 1:30 pm i was eating lunch with some of the other soldiers when my water broke but i didnt realize it at the time (it didnt break like in the movies, it was kind like i peed myself which to be honest was not out of the ordinary at that point in my pregnacy lol) but of course my husband was no where to be found. i had to have to one of my husbands buddy find him for me so i could go to the car to go home and change but i wanted to let him know what i was doing because we were about 20 mins away from the house. he finally came to the car and asked what was wrong so i told him i had wet myself and wanted to go home to change, but he was worried it was my water that broke, i didnt think it was until i started feeling cramps thats when i told him we needed to go to the Hospital. There was just a few problems, 1. We drove separete cars so i would have to drive myself home while having contractions and 2. We were 20 mins away(and it was the longest 20 min of my life). We finally got to the hospital and i got hooked up to the machines come to find out that i was 5 cm and having contractions every 2 mins, i was in shock! i wasnt really in any pain but got an epidural to feel more comfortable at about 11:20 pm i was 10 cm and ready to push and after 2 pushed he was born 10 mins later it was amazing! Considering we were so worried he would be to big and i would have to get a C section. If everytime i went through labor and it was like that i would have 10 kids lol. Easton is now  3 months old and James, Cj and i are so in love with him. He is an amazing baby, he never cries just fusses a little when he is hungry or needs a diaper change. We are so very blessed and lucky to have 2 healthy beautiful Boys!

Cj is getting so big he is 2 now and is such and little smartypants. He is talking up a storm, he knows all his basic shapes and animals and can count to 20. James and i are so very proud of him. He is getting so big it seems like yesterday when i had him.

James received his stripes, he is a Sargent of the United States Army! I am so proud of him he is a great and amazing leader to his soldiers. He works his butt off and is amazing at his job. Right now he is training at Fort Irwin CA NTC (National Training Center) preparing for when he deploys next year to Afghanistan (when the boys and i will move back to Washington for a year till James comes home) i am thankful for all the things he does for our family. So right now the boys and i are back in Washington spending some time with my mom and brothers, let me tell you it is great being back home to the west coast :) we are here till right before thanksgiving then we are headed down to California to meet James and spend Thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family.

So there is alittle update as to what has been going on. One of my goals is to keep this up, cross your fingers for me
