Update : )

I have lots to update everyone on our family! I want to share that my hubby is getting an award for winning the Soldier of the Month board as well as passing his E6 board!!!! Yeppie!! I am really excited!! He is too. Another great news for our family is that Malachi's adoption will be final on the 23rd of October!!!! I can't wait!!!! We all are really excited!!! He will be adopted before Lim even comes home! Total answer to our prayers!!!! We have been so blessed! We are praying that his points will go down in November. I will explain that real quick. You have to have so many points to be promoted when you are enlisted. Right now the points are up really really high. The points are 798 Lim has 744 which is awesome and he has been working very hard to get any point possible! November is when the points are supposed to drop. It could drop one point or more just depends, so please keep us in your prayers. : )

Another big news in our family is that Malachi's adoption will be final on October 23, 2008!!!!! We are so excited!!!! This has been such an answer to prayers. He will be adopted before Lim comes home!!! If that isn't a tender mercy from our Savior I don't know what is! We feel so blessed! Here is some update on my health issues :( No fun! For those of you who don't know I will get you caught up. I have been having lots of pain in my lower left abdomin and my lower left back as well. I went into the ER like two months ago I think it has been a little longer then two months but yeah. I thought it was a UTI going into my kidneys because I have had that several times. Not such a good activity. Anyway so the doctor didn't even check me out and just gave me lots of antiboitics and then sent me on my way. I also told him about the lower abdomin pain and he said that he thought it was a cyst and that I needed to get an ultrasound. So I was trying to get one for the longest time and I was given the run around, which is so much fun but I was able to get an appointment. So I was still having pain and I thought since the ultrasound appointment was so far away I needed to go into the doctors to find out if I did have a cyst. My doctor is a Sister from my ward!!!! How cool is that!!! She is awesome and I totally trust her!!!! Anyway so her office got me right in and she confirmed that I do have a cyst and that it has leaked like three or four times!!! That is so not fun! It feels like your insides are burning up not to mention that you feel like you have been punched in your stomach! Anyway so now I am on birth control and was taking aleve two times a day for almost a month for the pain. I was supposed to take it for a month but anyone who knows me knows I am not a pill person and would rather deal with the pain. I know it is wrong of me to do but yeah. My body just doesn't like taking pills like that. So the pain and dulled but I still have it from time to time esp when I am doing a lot of physcial activity or on my feet a lot. So I have to take time to rest. So my ultrasound appointment was cancled and then they set me up for another one and they cancled that one too the day of! I was really upset and frusterated to say the least. They did set me up for an appointment yesterday and I did finally get my ultrasound. I don't know anything yet. I am waiting for them to give me the results so I can give it to my doctor. I won't go into that one but yeah so I have to pick them up when they are done. I am going to bug them tomorrow to see if they have them done. The tech said good luck with everything and that was it. So I am not sure what that means. They did an external and internal ultrasound. First one not so bad except I had a really full bladder! The second one was not so fun. She moved the equipment a certain way and man it hurt so I am hoping that she was able to catch on film why I am getting pain there!!! I am praying for that so that we can fix this. My doctor said that I need to be on the birth control for about four months all together. I have been on it for one month. So yeah. Things are getting done at least and we are moving along to find out what is going on with me! hahahaha

Malachi is loving school and is getting so big!!! His teacher said that he is one of her favorite students because he listens and is respectful! I think that is awesome!!!! He has many friends at school including lots of friends that are girls. That makes me a little nervous, this is why...... A couple of weeks ago Malachi came home and this girl had given him her necklace. He didn't think anything of it but I am like yeah you need to give that back, and don't except things from girls like that. Just say thanks but no thanks! He loves PE and Music. More PE then anything! That seems to be what he talks about the most. The other day they had the firemen and firewomen come to his school and he was so excited! He told me all about it. It was a fun day for him. I don't know when they are having school pics yet so when I do I will let you all know. I can't wait!!! He will have a field trip this month but I can't remember when. I will be volunteering for his class pretty soon. I am excited about that!

Isaac is having lots of fun being home but sometimes wishes that he could go to school too. He misses Malachi a lot of the times. It is really sweet! He is however he is using the time away from Malachi to teach Alma not so good things. Like to climb the fence! Alma has almost gone all the way over! They have been getting into everything!!! Clearasil all over my carpet! Not such a good activity!!! Toothpaste, A&D, Babypowder and soap! I know there is more but I can't remember them all. hahahahaha yeah they keep me very busy and on my toes! They have to stay in my eyesight!

Alma is loving his age and exploring everything! He has tried to eat conditioner, A&D, and many other fun things, that totally scare me!!!! He is working on being a big boy!! He has said goodbye to the Binki!!!! I am so happy about that!!!! He has gone with out it for a couple of weeks now and doing great!!! One time he saw a baby have a binki and he threw a little fit but he got over it quick and that has been it since then. He doesn't have it for bed or anything, he quite cold turkey!!! hahahaha Now he is trying to potty train himself so it looks like Lim is going to miss out on the fun! I have potty trained Malachi and Isaac by myself so I was hoping to let Lim have the fun but yeah it looks like Alma wants to be a very big boy for when Daddy comes home! Alma is talking up a storm and is always repeating what we say! He loves saying prayers even when it isn't his turn. I Love it!!! He is so sweet. All three boys are being really sweet right now and I am throughly enjoying it!!! They are really baby hungry I think worse then I am! They have requested no more boys but they want some baby sisters! I told them to talk to Dad on that one. Hahahahaha. So we will see if they do. That is all that I can think of to update you all on our family. We miss you all and hope everything is going well in your families!!!
