Its been a while since my last post and my little monster is 10 months old! Holy crap right?! Where does the time go? This time last year I was anxiously awaiting the return of the husband (little did I know he would get delayed another month, but that's a different story). When he finally made it home I had Andrew less than a month later.  Sometimes my days seem so long, and redundant, but then I look up and its already been 10 whole months; crazy!

  I am getting some heat for my lack of pictures so here are some from the past month or so...

Brushfire fairytales and Bubblie toes

Awesomeness! Joel would so NOT appreciate this picture, but hes just so cute! And he doesn't look like he minds much! ;) I love this face! :) And I love my blue toes! I always get pink/red, sometimes an occasional coral but always in that family so this time I decided to do something different. After they were all done (and awesome!) they reminded me of one of my best friends when I was younger. She was crazy and sweet and so caring and loved crazy things like sparklie blue toes! :) We used to listen to Jack Johnson at the pool and stay up talking for hours about of course boys! I miss her, I moved summer before 10th grade and we stayed friends but gradually lost touch. I think about her sometimes, and hope she is happy and well. Those were good times, carefree and happy.  "Slow down everyone you're movin too fast, frames cant catch you when your movin like that"

A day with Drewby

I find I am forgetting to document what Andrew is up too, and that I am forgetting when he starting doing something new. So here I go documenting away; mom brain is a very real ailment! At your 15-month well baby you weighed 26.3 lbs and were 31.5 inches long. Your eyes are still blue, but getting more green/grey everyday. You have been waking up at about 5:30 despite me stretching bed time back an hour. I dont go get you till 630-7 though. We get up with the sun baby boy! So you might as well sleep! ;) Then we have a cuddle with some milk watching Mickey Mouse Club House. Your favorite part is the hot dog song.  You are starting to get picky about what you eat. You used to eat whatever I gave you, now there are things you wont eat at all. Silly babe :) Your favorite foods are cheese, milk, goldfish, turkey dogs, chicken nuggets, mandarin oranges, grapes,   animal crackers, jammy sammys, and fruit snacks. You refuse to eat pasta, sauce or no sauce you won...

3 years

Thats right, three years of wedded bliss. I feel like so much has happened in those three years that it has to be more like five or six because we couldn't possibly squeeze everything into just three.  Joel graduated from flight school, we got married, moved to california, , bought our first house,went through our first deployment and had our first baby.I think of these three years, he has been home for half of that. This year Joel is of course not home (we are 1/3 on him being home for this day), but he made sure I knew he was thinking of me. He sent me pink chocolate covered strawberries, a huge teddy bear (that Andrew loves!) and red roses, but best of all he wrote the sweetest note to me. Marriage is not easy. My parents made it look easy, so I have had to readjust my expectation, not in a bad way, but in a we are getting to know each other and what we need way. We are a work in progress. We are not perfect, and of course have had our ups and downs. As my love said in his ...
