1C Graduation

Todd Graduated from 1C (the second half of his schooling in Georgia) on December 10th. We are so proud of him!!!



With one of his "favorite" teachers

After the ceremony we decided we would go to Red Robin for dinner to celebrate with our neighbors/friends (Ashley, Josh, Zoe and Zayla) and since it was our last weekend there.

Bubbles

I let Allie play with her bubbles in the house the other day since it was super cold outside. It was fun watching her reaction to them which makes me excited for summer so we can play with them outside.

Our cute kids

Just wanna post some cute pictures of our cute kids.

Allie and her baby that she rarely lets out of her sight

She just loves holding her baby brother

What a STUD!

Allie felt like sharing her toys with Zachary.

Thought it was funny that she ate her lunch like this while watching TV.

Family Fun

Todd's brother, Robby and his family came down for Thanksgiving and to see our little Zachary. It was fun having them down here for a couple days. Allie and Lexie had a blast playing together and Brayden just loved playing video games with uncle Todd. The kids also loved holding Zachary. Thank you for coming down guys. It was fun and we sure are going to miss moving away from you.

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! We sure did. This was our first year away from home so we had Todd's brother and his family come down so we didn't have to spend it alone. Carrie my sister in law helped me cook our meal so I didn't have to cook it myself, plus getting a Honey Baked Ham helped cut on the cooking time. But our meal was so delicious and we had so much left over we've got lunch/dinner covered for the next couple days.

Is it time to eat??

Yummy Food!!

Zacharys First Thanksgiving

I'm Thankful For...

Over the past month I've been seeing many of my friends saying what they are thankful for on Facebook. So I thought since its Thanksgiving and since I'm up at 5 o'clock with my little boy, I could list a few things I'm thankful for. So here goes:

*My two beautiful children. They are my light and life.
*my husband and all that he does for us
*My husbands job.
*Tricare! I am so thankful for an insurance that covers 100% of everything (that's one thing I'm going to miss about getting out of the army).
*Georgia's beautiful weather at this time of year
*My family and friends whom I love and miss dearly!!!
*Sleep. Even though I don't get much of it, but when I do sleep becomes my best friend.
*Internet. With me moving away from home, Internet has become one way that I can interact more other than phone with my family and friends via- blog, skype, facebook or email.
*For my mom and the chance that she could come out for a month and a half to help out with the kids.
*My car that lets me get to point A to B
*My neighbors. They have been there for us whenever we needed them and I am so grateful for that. I will sure miss them when we move.
*The military. For keeping me and my family safe.
*Food
*The roof over our head
*Hugs and kisses from my Allie bear

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Swing Swing

My mom got us a new swing for Zachary since I got rid of the one we had when I had Allie. Well I guess Allie was a little jealous that Zachary was always in it because while I was doing the dishes I turned and found this:


She wanted to take a ride in the swing herself and swung herself to sleep ;p

Bye Bye Nana

Today my mom left after being here for a month and a half. It was so nice having her here and having her help. I am sure going to miss her. I don't know what I'm going to do. Guess we'll see how I do now with two kids on my own ;p wish me luck.
Thanks again mom for coming out. It was so fun having you here and we sure are going to miss you!

1 Month Old

Our little guy is one month old today! Time sure has flown by. I can't believe Zachary has been a part of our family for a month already. He has changed so much. He's definitely not my little 5 1/2 pound baby boy anymore. Well, here's what Zachary is up to at one month:

*Has graduated to newborn clothes. Zachary was only in preemies for about a week due to his length.
*Is wearing newborn diapers now
*Zachary is drinking formula and drinks between 3-4 oz every 3 to 4 hours. But night time is a different story.
*He now weighs 7 1/2 pounds ... our little chunky monkey ;p
*When he's awake he loves looking around and just stares at you if you are holding him.
*Zachary turned over at 2 weeks old but hasn't done it done it since. Yes it was kind of a fluke but I'm still counting it as his first time :)
*Has been smiling since a week old and has the cutest smile ever!
*Can hold his head up for 10 seconds or more. He loves looking around and is always picking his head up so he can do so.
*Loves tummy time and tends to fall asleep during tummy time (on tummy).
*Still has his nights and days switched so I tend to be a bit more cranky than normal
*Zachary does not like his binki
*And doesn't like bath time
*And like his sister, he absolutely hates having his diaper changed. But loves peeing on mommy. I still haven't found a trick to avoid being shot at ;p haha!

Z's Newborn & Family Pictures

We had Zacharys newborn pictures taken as well as some family pictures a couple weeks ago. I had a hard time choosing which ones to post so here are some of my favorites
