Phase 3

For the last 10 days Kyle has been at air assault. He says they "smoke you" as what he calls it which means (work you out really really really hard). If you talk or do anything wrong you have to do push-ups. They also push you until you burn out and more. Their are 4 MAIN events you have to pass in order to graduate from air assault. If you aren't able to do any of them or the pt you get sent home right away.

1st run a 6 mile ruck march with your ACU's on, 40 lbs strapped to your back and in 2 hours or less but you can't run a mile in less than 15 minutes.

2nd climb a 15 feet rope.

3rd inspect cargo and find 3 out of 4 things wrong with it before it gets picked up.

4th run a 12 mile ruck march with ACU's on, 40 lbs strapped to your back and finish in 4 hours or less but you can't run a mile in less than 15 minutes, plus at the end take out everything you carried and you can't have one thing missing or else you don't graduate.

*Kyle said a lot of people dropped out day zero and with the cargo inspection. They also teach you a lot of detailed information and you had to pass the test they gave you with a 70 or higher and Kyle got an 88! He also said right before they eat breakfast, lunch or dinner they have to do push-ups, diamond (air assault) push-ups, pull-ups etc. Kyle has already done everything but the 12 mile ruck march and he's almost done! I'm so proud of him! This is one of the hardest things he's had to have done and he's passing with flying colors! Only a couple more days and he'll be able to graduate from Air Assault! This will be a HUGE accomplishment!

Update on the Kunz Family

Lexi is growing up so fast! She's so good at lifting her head and she's getting so close to rolling over!Casey is getting closer to turning 2! He's starting to put more and more words together. They might be mixed around but he's trying and it's so nice to have him try to tell me what he wants. If you ask him a question he replys with a yeah or no. He also has this obsession of eating things off the floor, it's yucky but kind of funny sometimes.

Help!

So I've tried potty training Casey and he loves it for a couple of days and actually goes potty on the toilet but then he looses interest and doesn't want to go on the toilet. Any suggestions on how I can keep him interested from those who've potty trained kids already? Everytime I ask him if he needs to go potty on the toilet he quickly replies no but he's showing signs that he does. I 've tried giving him candy when he goes but now it's not such a big deal to him. I need help!

Happy Fathers Day, Kyle!

For the last couple of days I have been trying to get Casey to say Happy Fathers Day! He says it so cute! Casey's little voice message to Kyle went like this..."Hi dadda, Happy Bathers Day. I ou you. I miss you. bye bye." We're so sad that were not able to spend fathers day with Kyle but we Appreciate everything he's doing for our family! We love him so Much! He does things that I couldn't imagine ever doing just for his children and me! Happy Fathers Day, Kyle! We love you!

You're Amazing!

I'm so proud of Kyle! He climbed 15 feet up the rope in preparation for Air Assault training in 2 days! I must say, I could never climb a rope that high in less than a minute. Kyle will be leaving for Air Assault this Saturday for 10 days where he'll be trained in repelling down a helicopter then right after he'll head to LDAC for a month and a half. LDAC will determine what job Kyle will do when he commissions as an officer next April! We're crossing our fingers that he'll do good and get an opportunity to be a helicopter pilot. ;) We'll see though!

Caseys Sweet Personality

Casey is growing up so fast! He's starting to repeat words. It's so fun to get him to say things. We love his funny personality!

Wow time has flown by so fast! Our baby Lexi is already over 3 months! We just love her to death! She's getting bigger and bigger by the day! Her personality is just so lovable! Casey can't kiss her enough! Lexi has been swatting at toys for the last few weeks and is smiling and laughing a lot! She is tickleouse EVERY WHERE!!! Check out what I mean with the video below!

For Kyles drill down in Richfield they had family day where family members came to the park and ate lunch, played on the playground and rocked climbed. It was a lot of fun until it started to rain really hard. But it was a nice little get away vacation. It was nice to spend time as a family before Kyle leaves for LDAC this week.

We went swimming at the hotel and Casey loved it!

This is how Lexi slept. We don't know why she likes to lift her hands up in the air while she sleeps.

We got to eat at Wingers the day before we left.

potty training process

Today I decided to potty train Casey. Hes been such a great boy! He'll stay on the toilet for FOREVER!! Seriously, he thinks it's fun to sit on the toilet! He's got so many toys in there. He'll sit on the toilet and play with toys, read books, drink juice, etc. He's done so well. He has gone a couple of times on the toilet without me giving him a bunch of water or milk. He has been drinking normal amounts of fluids. Casey and I get so excited when he goes. His face lights up because he knows Candy is in store for him!
