The Countdown is on......

We are so excited to say that Tilden is coming HOME!!!!!!!! We can't wait. The plain leaves from there on the 4th and he should be here on Fri. Oh man we have been preparing for him to come home now for about a month. haha well it seems like that. But I am so excited. I had a really nice banner made for his homecoming. It's huge. 6ft by 8ft. I had this website make it called BuildASign.com it was awesome. THey due free signs for military people. So any military people get on it. They only have 2 smaller signs for free but they give you great deals on other sizes. The shipping is what cost the most. Maddux and I made a chain link paper thing to count down the days. Maddy gets to take one off everyday til Daddy gets here. Maddux is getting excited but I have been saying for ever now that Tilden was going to be home soon, so he probably doesnt know the diff. but he knows somethings up because I have been doing alot to prepare these last few days. We are now just patiently waiting til he gets here!!!! We will keep everybody updated on his arrival. and new pics to come.......

Stuck in the desert and still in love...........

So ,



I know that it is a little bit late for a Valentines Blog but give me a break I’m in the freakin Desert! I have thought a lot about writing a poem or something

But I really don’t feel that would convey my thought’s properly. I have a incredible wife. She is the one person in this big world full of people that truly understands

Who I am. I don’t just mean my likes and dislikes, I mean she finishes my sentences, gives me something before I ask for it and is basically a mind reader. I try not

To take her for granted but despite my efforts realize I could do better. Cass is both a incredible wife and a amazing mother, any kid would be lucky to have her for

A mom and I am lucky enough to know that all of mine will have that joy. Guy’s always talk about their significant other to each other as I’m sure girls do. I really think

That if people could hear the great things you say behind their back it would be a better world. So here I go. You, know how I know I have the best wife in the world?

…..Because when I say Hey babe I want to go fishing today she say’s let me pack a lunch and me and the kids will come……. Then she lay’s out on the blanket next to

Me and plays with maddy and gets a tan, But every time I ask her if she wants to go because we have been there longer than any normal woman would want to she

Cheerfully say’s…..That’s ok babe let’s stay a little longer and see if we can catch something……… FIVE HOURS later when most couples would be giving the silent

Treatment all the way home, She squeezes my hand and tells me she had fun today we should do it more often. (while she’s pregnant!) This is just one example of

More than I can count when I realized I have tripped and stumbled into the best relationship of my life. I couldn’t ask for a more loving, beautiful and all together

Shining example of the Standard of greatness for a wife, best friend and companion. I thank god for her every time I look at her picture, think of her memory or a

Experience we have shared. I wish for nothing but to spend the eternities in her company, and hope she knows my heart is hers alone.

I LOVE YOU CASS AND ALWAYS WILL YOU ARE MY SOFT SPOT IN A HARD IRON SHELL

Be My Valentine.....

Here is one of my two Valentines!!! We had so much fun yesterday takin pics with a bunch of pedals. Maddux loved throwing them in the air. I have the sweetest kids in the world. I am so blessed to have them in my life. I took so many pics it was hard to choose.




I love Valentines day! Tilden and I seem to always be apart on this holiday but I am looking forward to the day when he can be here for it. But I am so thankful to have two beautiful children to be mine! HAPPY EARLY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Bella's first Foods..

So Bella had her 4 month check up last Tues and it went great!!! He said I could introduce her to food now. but take it slow. So I couldn't wait to see her reaction. She did great actually eating it besides the occasional gag or two haha but she was so adorable. She has the sweetest personality.

I saw this chair a while ago and I wanted to get it so bad so I finally decided to just go out and get it but of course I had to drive off the island to find one but I did and it was worth the trip and the money. Dont let this little chair fool you. its pretty pricey for a piece of rubbery foam. but I am so glad I got it. From the day I had Bella she always wanted to sit up and if she started to ever fuss we just would sit her up and she was fine so this is perfect for her. She LOves IT!!!!!
