Happy 1st Birthday Lilli Kate!!!!

Oh my WORD....I can't believe my little girl is already a year old! She took 5 steps on her birthday and is well on her way to running around!! She's been so much fun....there are no words to express how much I love her!! She's an opinionated litte one....very demanding, but when she flashes that little smile of hers, it just melts my heart! She still looks like a little "who"/Betty Boop, she loves to ramble on and on about whatever she's trying to say, she LOVES eating bark and chasing Mason everywhere:-) I LOVE how she lights up when Kyle or I came see her after a long day or when she wakes up in the morning, I love the way she cuddles into my arms when she's sleepy....I even love the way she spits out bananas (which she hates, but I keep trying....and trying....and trying:-). She's been such a joyous addition to our family....I look forward to watching her and Mason grow up together and the many, many laughs to come:-) I LOVE YOU LILLI BUD!! Happy Birthday Baby Girl:-)

Back in Action!!

Wow....so it's been awhile since I've been on here!! It's been a bit crazy with my two little ones and I venturing out on rotations! It's been super fun, but super crazy....hence, no time to blog:-) Shame on me....I promise to keep yall updated from now on:-) We had a good time over the summer down in Roseburg, OR. It's a little rinky-dink town off the 5 in southern Oregon. I definitely could NOT live there but it was nice for a couple months. My sister came and visited with her new little guy, Cayne Robert. It was great having her here....makes me miss my family even more:-( I can't wait to move to Texas and be near my family again!!

Here's me and my sissy in San Francisco!!

Mason's TWO!!

Happy Birthday my handsome baby boy! More to come after we celebrate his birthday later this week! This little boy has stolen my heart:-)

The Analysis of a Picture....

"Uh oh"....how kind of Mason to alert Kyle that something had happened:-) I couldn't help but analyze this picture.....first, to the right, check out the actual box of cereal which is sitting upright on the counter. What a nice boy to put it back. Second, look how Mason strategically placed the Vatican II in the center of his mess. He made sure to have God on his side before daddy saw the mess:-) Lastly, what you didn't see....the massive pile of papers that he accidentally pushed off the table in preparing for his meal. But look at that cute little face with one random piece of hair flipped....how could you not laugh and just smother him with kisses....even during his cereal mess adventure:-) I love my kiddy's:-)

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I just wanted to post a quick note to my honey so the world can see how much I adore him!! I am truely blessed to have found such a wonderful man to share my life with.

Kyle,
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!! I LOVE YOU more than my words could ever convey. You have brought such joy to my life and I thank our Heavenly Father daily for bringing us together. I cherish every second I'm with you and miss you always when we are apart. Only one more year....then we can get back to normal life:-) Thank you for always supporting me while I pursue my dream, and for being an exceptional father to our two beautiful babies!!

Love,
Your Wifey

PS - And thank you for making Lilli's head smell like BO today:-)

Lill Lou Who

So, I finally realized who Lilli reminds me of.....a Who!!!! I was talking with my cousin a bit ago and she's the one who mentioned it!! Now, I've finally accepted that, yes, Lilli does look like a little Who. A mighty cute little Who if I do say so myself though:-)
