I'm back, we'll see how long this lasts!

My mom said that I should update my blog.  Especially since I live even Further away and Next year will be half way around the world.  I get to live in all these cool places and have sucked at really documenting this cool moments in our lives.  I take tons of pictures, but they sit on my computer going nowhere and I have an instagram account, but there ain't a lot of details going on there either!  So for myself and for my mom and grandma who are probably the only ones that will come on and read this, here we go again!

What has happened since Addi's 2nd Birthday?

Halloween Happened

We had Thanksgiving with the Low's and I cooked my first turkey!

Halloween happened

In December we road tripped to California.  We stopped in Oklahoma, Texas and Arizona to sleep.  The kids actually did AMAZING!  

We spent Christmas with my family and Christmas eve at the beach

Then spent New years with all the Low's at Eric and Pams new house in gilbert, AZ!  It's so fun to be able to be together and for all the cousins to play, play, play!

Half of these girls left in June from Kentucky moving on to bigger and better so we all met for a weekend in Nashville, TN!  It was such a blast!

Brady turned 5 and had a birthday with all his buddies!

Ryan and I flew home to surprise my dad.  He retired and they threw him a huge surprise party.  It was by far the best thing I have ever gone to!  Such a great evening!

We went to Myrtle Beach and Beaufort South Carolina for Spring Break.  The Navy is sending us there and we wanted to check it out!

We celebrated our last Easter in KY again.

Her 1st Birthday Party

September 14, 2012

We of course threw A her first birthday.  I did everything Tiny Themed.  Luckily they do a lot now tiny!  We had mini waters, mini hamburgers, mini pasta salad, mini bags of chips, mini goodie bags with mini goodies inside, mini cupcakes and mini fruit salad.  I didn't get pics of it all, which always saddens me after, but oh well I just wanted to enjoy the party with my family and our dearest friends!  The party was a big success, we all had a blast and hung out will it was far too dark to see anything.  The kids and adults had fun just talking and running around.  Thank goodness for the tramp to keep the kids entertained!

Brady was trying to look handsome like daddy before the party and went and got his daddy's hair stuff and put a little too much on!

Joc gave add her first experience of cheetos and she was in Heaven.  Addi now is Joc's best friend.

We did the party on Joc's real birthday so she needed a cake and some singing too!

 

Neither one of my kiddos have ever been interested in their cake.  She took a few small bites and just wanted back to her bag of Cheetos and she was a happy girl!!!

Seriously, words cannot express how much I love these wonderful ladies...they are truly amazing!

trying on one of her presents!

Happy Birthday to Me

September 9, 2012

I was spoiled by my family and friends this year.  I can't believe I am at 29!!!  It's a little crazy and sickening to think about.  James was actually super sick on my birthday, so I ordered takeout from Cheesecake Factory for myself!  He more than made up for it when he finally got better.  My girlfriends took me out to Lynns Paradise Cafe, and it was a lot of fun just hanging out and chatting most of the night away!  Here's to another year getting older.  Good thing in this top pic I look like a teen mom...sorry I posted this pic of myself.
