SSgt Ohnheiser And His Promotion- 8-19-10

Well, it looks like it is going to be SSgt Ohnheiser from now on! We are proud to announce that Issac has been promoted to NCO. Though he tested for his promotion back in May (just a few weeks after Emma was born- not an easy time to be preparing for such an important test) we just received the results yesterday at 9:00am. Issac and I knew that the results were to be coming out at this time so him and I both received little sleep the previous night. Instead we stayed up anxiously awaiting the impending results much like two children awaiting the arrival of Santa on Christmas Eve. We are (and by we, I mean our ENTIRE family) so incredibly proud of him! What a year this has been for his Air Force career! Here are just a handful of the achievements he has racked up throughout the past year.
-Airmen of The Month (July 2010)
-Airmen of The Quarter (Oct 2009) for his ENTIRE squadron which I believe has about 700 people in it.
- He received a Medal of Accommodation (big deal!)
- And has made A's in all of his classes and is getting very, very close to finishing his criminal justice degree which will then make him eligable to become an officer.
Again, I cannot even explain how incredibly proud of him I am. He is an amazing leader and is truly an asset to the United States Air Force. To show Issac how proud we are of him I headed out to the store while he was at work yesterday afternoon and picked up a few items. These items included three balloons, some art supplies for a congratulatory poster, chocolate bars that came in the form of fake $1,000,000 bills (very appropriate for a promotion), and a few ingredients for cupcakes. This was what he saw when he walked in the door!

Ta-DA! Red velvet cupcakes topped with cream cheese frosting and coconut, and this cute little set up which I put together for him. As for the poster, just remember, it's the thought that counts right?

Congratulations on making SSgt Daddy! We love you and are so proud of you! We believe in you and know that you can and will always be able to achieve anything you set your mind to. The sky is the limit!

My name is Jenny and I have been married to my wonderful husband, Issac, since June of 2006. Issac is a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force and works as an instructor at Sheppard Air Force Base. He has been in the Air Force for nearly eight years but will be making a big change in just a few short months when he separates from the Air Force and goes to work as a civilian. I run an online based children's boutique and am able to operate on an international level from the comfort of my own home office. Polka Dot Designs was started in October of 2010 and has grown tremendously throughout the past year and a half. As of right now we have sold to 43 states, 14 countries, and hundreds of cities across the globe. I love what I do and love that I am able to stay home and not miss a beat while I do it. For the first almost four years it was just the two of us but on May 3, 2010 that all changed when we were blessed with our beautiful daughter Emma Reese. This blog was created to keep all of our wonderful friends and family back home updated on our beautiful little girl's milestones.

What Emma is Doing

All of her colors.

All of her letters.

All basic shapes and even a handful of more advanced one.

Can name all of her body parts.

Knows the days of the week and can even tell you which activities she has on which days.

She has been doing chores and has been responsible for cleaning her playroom and bedroom for about a year. In recent months she has gotten to a point where she will often begin her cleaning for the day without me having to ask or monitor her while she does it.

Can re-tell many of the stories from the Bible and can tell you all about Jesus.

Knows how to spell her name.

Learning how to write her letters- we haven't really started working on writing number yet.

Learning some basic addition.

Learning about money and the value of different coins. This ties in well with teaching her addition because she is learning simple things like 5 pennies= 1 nickle.

Still a very healthy little eater and typically has no aversion to eating her veggies. She does prefer eating them raw and loves going to my favorite salad spot for lunch after morning gymnastics.

Loves listening to music and enjoys playing piano and guitar with Daddy. We have the keys on our piano labeled so for about the past year she has been learning the notes.

Loves her "Best friend pup" and sleeps with him every night.

Very good at drawing and has taught herself to draw so many things that I did not think a three year old could even draw.

Going to gymnastics three days a week- she can do front rolls, tuck jumps, straddle jumps, and pikes all by herself and is even walking backwards on the beam, doing small jumps on the beam, and doing simple flips on the bars. She is currently working on cartwheels and simple back walkovers using the mat that is shaped like a block.

Fully potty trained- praise the Lord for that one!

Knows all about different types of food and can tell you which foods are healthy and which are unhealthy.
