April showers bring...

I'm just realizing that it's been forever since my last post. Here it is April 5th, and I've somehow skipped February and March. Lots has happened since the last update so I'll try and go in order as things were. 
I'm not sure if I posted in my last blog but our beautiful Lulu had 7 adorable English Bulldog puppies and since then they have all been rehomed except for the only lil lady-Maxie-and she's ours! We have added her to our brood. She's the cutest lil fat face ever and she takes after her mama so much. I am so happy we were able to keep one of Lulu's pups so she's have the experience to grow with one of her babies. It has been such an awesome experience for me personally, to have a litter and to help lulu blossom into the mother she is. Not to mention, the fur-grandma I am now☺️. 
Here is Lulu with her 6 boys and 1 girl

Here is the lil princess, Maxieđź’—

All 6 boys are doing great and I get updates and photos all the time. We even hosted a "reunion" and it was so cool to see them all together again. Needless to say, they all slept great that night! 

Mason and Madison are both well, Keeping up their after school activities and awesome grades. There's no complaining going on as far as that is concerned, but with their hormones and attitudes, I'm ready for them to go off to college already! (JK) Mason is already 5'5, and I'm pretty sure he will keep growing for a while. His shoe size is almost same as Tim's and he went from youth extra large, to men's sizes in clothes. Omg and shaving! My little boy is now becoming a man. Ugh. And Madison also is growing so fast. She went from being a tiny little shy girl, to never being home on weekends, wanting her hair colored, and falling in love with boy bands such as Fall Out Boy. Where did my babies in matching diapers go?!?! What I'd sown times give to go back to those times. I'd freeze time and never let them hit these trying teenage times! 



Time is going by so fast... 

Tim has been busy between here in Hawaii-and Korea, Alaska, Japan, the mainland, and everywhere else. He's traveled more since we been here than he has in his whole military career. He is definitely racking up his miles. I have finally started working at the vet clinic here and I wasn't really able to spend much time with the kids for their spring break. Tim was able to take some vacation time and do stuff with them. Things I wouldn't normally do or agree on. Mason was enrolled at the youth center most of the break so Tim and Madison had some awesome father-daughter time. Parasailing was one thing that the two did that I would've probably never agreed to. It was a first for both of them and they had a blast!! 
What a view!! I would've worried about sharks and whales the whole time, lol.

While they were having a blast, so was I. I finally met and held a sphinx and it was so cool!!! 

I have signed Tim and I up for more races and we even are getting ready for my first half this weekend!! We do it for the shirts and bibs! 




Mama and her girl

Wish us luck for the run!!! My goal: to not stop running/jogging! Half marathon here I come!!!
