Me- working as a speech aide for dan peterson still. Started to work out and am losing weight slowly so i can keep up with the kiddos.
Mathias has dance moves like nothing else! lol he loves to dance and he loves to play video games... or i should say is addicted to video games. Hes growing up so fast!
Johny has now had a pain in his stomach area for a month and we've tried everything.. now were off to see a gastro dr and then an allergy specialist if that doesnt work. Hes been picking up on his vocab more and more.
Alyssa has to go up to primary childrens for her tonsils. They are super big apparently, and her ears have had infection after infection. :/ poor girl. She is starting to like tummy time and loves to stand. shes a screamer when shes happy sad or just wants your attention. At least she knows what she wants :)
well  thats it for now.

CATCH UP TIME AGAIN :)

WOW there has been a ton of changes since Aug of 2011. we have had a new addition to the family Alyssa Jayde Hamilton, moved to American Fork, and switched companies to RISE Inc for fostering. Rick-He is still at BYU for school and will graduate in APRIL!!! yeah Rick!! were so proud of him for working so hard and still being such a great dad and spending so much time with the kids! Janee- is a stay at home mom and works very part time as a speech pathology tech aid at Dan Peterson School in American Fork and loving it. Mathias- is have a good time at his new school and still trying to find a few good friends to fit in with. Hes also really excited about the new soccer season coming up because he informs me that he wants to become a COP when he gets older and if that doesn't work out a soccer player :) Johny- he has had his tubes adenoids and tonsils taken out at Primary children;s hospital, is slowly picking up his speech and is still working n potty training. Goa is by his 3rd birthday in April he will be fully potty trained :) we will see how it goes! Alyssa- she was a month early and was placed in the N.I.C.U. for 3-3.5 weeks. That was supper hard with the two boys as well as having Rick gone all summer... however she has caught up so much and is super healthy! She is now almost 6 months and is 16 lbs+!  Shes sitting by herself for a little bit and not crawling yet but super close which is crazy to think of.

all in all were happy healthy and super excited to FINALLY settle down and plant roots in American Fork!

September Fun

Hello all... we are still adjusting to all the new changes and hopefully will have another one shortly. We are currently still waiting on FL to send Ricks background check back...THEN we will have some foster boys in our home. Mathias has started pre-k and LOVES it! he has made several new friends but there are two in particular that he talks about a lot.. Alan & Jackson i think he called them.. Thinking of getting a play date for them to get together soon.



Johny is doing good.. he got Bronchitis this past week and is still trying to get over it. Poor kid.
Rick is FT school and PT work right now....
Rick & I got a calling in the church to be Name Extractors... Rick said hes done it before.. I have never done it but am excited to learn... REALLY EXCITED! I'm not sure why i'm so excited for it but I am. Johny Goes into NURSERY on October 12th! so the days are being counted down to that date... hahaha ... mommy will then be able to hear everything in RS!

Also Mathias wanted me to add that he & daddy caught a fish when we were at Tibble Creek Res. After we went camping with Josh & Abby.




Well thats all for now.
