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.

what the crap!!

so yeah I have been trying to post the pictures but there is some internal error so I am going to try again tomorrow becuase I dont have the patience. haha so hopefully tomorrow they will be up.

lots going on....

So we went to my doctor today and I have gained so much weight it is scary!!!!! way more than I did with Maddux. but I guess the doc thinks that she is going to be a big girl. which is even scarier. haha but everything looks good. her head is not down but no need to be concerned as of now but my next apt which is sept 2 if she is not down then we need to start getting concerned and taking action. But I cant wait and I am so ready.
We also had the island county fair here this last weekend and I was so dying for some fried fair food thinking about Idaho's state fair so we went and I was so bummed. it was about a 5 min walk through the whole thing and I had like 5 food choices. very upseting. that is definetly one thing I miss about Idaho. I haven't been to the fair in 3 years and I so miss it. but in all fairness its not about me anymore and Maddux had a blast. he went on a few rides but he is so little they wouldnt let him on most. but he had a great time. and I at least got a carmel apple.

Tilden and I aslo have decided to not watch so many movies and start doing other things so we started playing monopoly and it was so much fun. I totally kicked his butt. He is so competetive and I love it when i can humble him. hahaha. And I can't forget that we also got a new addition to our family early!!!! another puppy. she is the sweetest thing and so adorable. her name is tilly. and her and dixie are so great together. well anyway here are a some pics updating on all these fun events so far. sorry they are not in order. I really want my page some day to look like all of yours out there that are amazing. but it is still a work in progress. haha

patiently waiting.....




So I am still trying to get the hang of this blog thing and thanks to Shelbey I was able to put up a friends list finally. haha so thanks shelbey!!! But I need to be better at keeping up on posting. So since July Tilden has got a second job so that I can buy all the little things for our lil girl, so we hardly see him. but when we do we have such a blast. I kicked his butt at monopoly the other night and it was great!!! haha. we love to compete!! For Maddux he is going to start therapy in the pool on the 19th so he is pretty excited for that. I think it will help alot with his balance. plus our main therapist is leaving for her maternity leave. she is due on the 3rd. I cannot wait for our girl to come I am to the point where I am pretty uncomfortable and so ready to have her out. I am 33 weeks and 2 days so not too much longer left but enough....haha Dixie our sweet loving lil dog is growing so big... but she will soon have a playmate we are getting another puppy Tues. a yellow lab. so she wont be so bored outside by herself. So for now we are just getting prepared for baby to come....

So these fresh pics are from when Tilden's family was up here we took them to Seattle to show them all the cool stuff and then the real treat was taking them to beniHana's!!!! That is our favorite place to eat. but let me tell ya its not cheap!! haha. but Maddux got down with the chopsticks and used them for his whole dinner. What a lil freaking doll. I love my family.

Nesting......

So I am 30 weeks today and feeling every bit of it. Ha ha. But I am totally in the nesting stage right now. Today Maddux and I painted the dresser for the nursery and Tilden and I are going to start painting it here in the next few weeks. Tilden's mom wanted to throw us a baby shower but unfortunatly we are not able to come home because of the military. (They are stupid) So I was pretty bummed out about that. but luckily I have met some amazing people here (lacey) and she has offered to throw me one. so i am also looking forward to that. I always stopped and looked at baby girl clothes (cuz they have so many cute ones out there) and wished I would have a girl. So the time has come and I can't wait. So for now I am just preparing and getting ready for this lil miracle to come.
