About Us

My family and I currently are stationed on Whidbey Island. In Oak Harbor, Wa. Tilden is in the navy and is ready to get out. haha well in 2011!! But we have a great time being together and learning new things and meeting new people. We have a wonderful lil boy Maddux, who is 4 and have a beautiful baby girl Bella, who is now going on 6 months. They are the world to us. It is the best feeling in the world to wake up every morning with a smiling face or our little boy saying morning mom and daddy. I am so thankful that I am able to stay at home with my kids, thanks to my wonderful husband Tilden. We are hoping to be out of the military by spring of 2010 and heading back to idaho for just a few years and then we will see where our life takes us. I am looking forward to this journey ahead with my beautiful family.

long overdue update......

So where do I even begin. LOL I have been out of the internet world for so long now its taken me a minute to get back into the swing of things. We didn't have the internet for a long time......But we are back in business.
The kids and I went to the beach for the fireworks this year and it was pretty fun. It was way warmer this year than any other year. Right there on the ocean gets pretty chilly. but it was fun. This summer was all about garage sales...lol we set one up almost every weekend and made some pretty good dough. and when we werent doing that we were fishing or swimming. The summer here is for only about 2 weeks so it was nice to get out and get some sun while it lasted. Tilden made it home the middle of August and we were so excited to see him. At last he's home for awhile. We also got to see the Blue Angels. They were awesome..Maddux loved them.
Maddux started his growth hormones about a week before Tilden got home and it went ok for the first couple of days but then he got scared of it and I couldn't do it alone and hold him down. Giving him this shot everday is the worst thing a mother has to do. To maddux he wonders why I am hurting him but in time he will understand I did it cuz I love him. Once Tilden was home and we got into a routine and the shots are now getting easier for him. Maddux is my brave lil hero. Even though he is only 4 I look up to him in so many ways. HE is so brave. And I must report that he is getting bigger!!!!!!! yay I have noticed all of his clothes gettin tighter. Which is amazing cuz we hardly have to buy him anything.... But I can't wait to take him shopping. Other than the shots Maddux is getting ready to go back to school. He can hardly wait. He misses all of his teachers and friends. He has also made a lil stash of cash this summer. He is all about making money and spending it on toys. lol but it is so cute to watch him when he gets to buy something that he worked for.
Now on to lil (not so lil) Bella, She is growing in the blink of an eye. ITs truely amazing to see how fast they grow. She started taking her first steps in July and full on started walking a few days after Tilden got home. Which was awesome for him because he has missed so much. She is such a climber... she climbs on anything and everything. And when she wants something she doesnt just want one she wants them all. so greedy...hahah but adorable. Her hair was getting so long that when she woke up or if I didnt put it up it was all crusted and snarly around her face. so I cut her some bangs. a few days before that I had my hair cut and colored...Im not sure if ill keep it blonde im alredy thinking of going back to brown. but we will see. anyway
bella is already saying plenty of words:
mamma
dadda
bobba
mine
uh ah
uh ha
no no
caca
and i swear she tries to say Dixie (the dog) but it comes out a bit jibbery..
so that my fast and furious update on our life and from here on out I will be posting regularly again. This whole playing catch up thing gets pretty confusing. especially if you have a million pictures to go through. well I have plenty of pics to post so I hope you enjoy lookin at my growing lil family.........
