Saying Goodbye.....

He looks so good in uniform. haha
On Nov, 2nd we had to say goodbye to Tilden, once again as he goes back on deployment to Qatar. (Near Bahrain and Iraq) He will be gone for 5 months.
It is always so hard to say goodbye. Now more than ever. We just had a baby girl!!! He is going to miss alot. And Maddux he always goes through a hard patch when he leaves. He gets real angry. but that is to be expected. Thats his way of showing how he feels. This time around is definetly harder for me. Maddux is in school 4 days a week and therapy on the other day. So he is busy. as well as little baby girl. and can't forget our dogs. Which they are also acting out but I wont get into detail.) He has only been gone 6 days and I feel overwhelmed at times. So I didnt realize how much he really did for me and us. I feel like I am always complaining for him to do more. But when I look at it he does so much already. All the small things add up to make big things. I am going to miss him so much. So Yeah I am very jelous for all of you who are going to be with your families for the holidays. I so wish he could be with us. So be grateful of your loved ones this holiday season. We love and miss you babe!

We had to be at the airport at 5:30 am. and we didnt get to bed until 1 so we look a little tired. Our last kiss goodbye.


Daddys little girl........

Maddy at 5:30 am. haha he was so tired.

COME HOME SAFE!!!!!!!!!

Visitors......

The last week in October we had Tilden's brother Chance and his girlfriend Tiffany stay with us. We had a lot of fun with them. Here is at the corn maze on Oct 29th. And I had to have my Bestie Lacey and her two cuties come. It was fun. Maddux and Caleb are close little friends. Its cute.




Bedtime stories. They are so cute.

And this is right before we went out to Trick or Treat.
Happy Halloween the Carter's
haha

Halloween 08

So it took a little while to convince Maddux to let us paint his face but after I pulled the mirror out so he could watch he started to like it. This year Tilden figured out maddy's costume from stuff we had at home. Prices are getting scary so it helped not to have to buy a 25 dollar costume. This year he was a cowboy hunter ghost. haha he really liked it. And he was so stinkin cute. As a little boy Tilden loved Halloween and he still does, so he gets really into gettin dressed up, painting faces and going out. This year was a lot of fun for us.

Sweet little Bella, she was an adorable banana. She fit in the costume perfect. But started to sweat a little while after being in it. so it was just cute for pictures I guess. We werent to thrifty with her costume. We ended up buying hers. But saved on the other. lol.

They are too cute.

Scary guy!!!

Just the two of us......

My new hair color....

So I finally got my haircut but just the Aline cut off and then I colored it myself. It was long past time to do something with my hair. My highlights were down to my ears and the bottom was blonde and the top was brown. it was horrible. so here is what i did. Then we went for a little walk and I got to use the baby wrap we bought that was ridiculously expensive but it was great. and Bella loved it. But me and Maddy and Bella had a fun time taking a few pics.


I love my cute lil man

And I love my cute lil girl

Tilden had to help me get her wrapped in it but it worked out well. I love it!!!

I made Tilden get in one shot with us.

Bella's pink dress...

Tilden's parents arrived to meet the new baby late Sunday night (Oct. 5th) It was a short visit but nice. Carlene (tilden's mom) hand made Bella a pink dress that she is wearing and it is so adorable. so thank you Carlene so much we love it. So right before they left we took a few pics of her in her new dress with Maddy. Bella had her check up today wich was two days early from being two weeks old and she has gained a pound in one week. she now weighs 8lbs 6oz. She is growin like crazy already. We are just having so much fun with her and Maddux. They are too cute.

What has happened lately...

Alright so the last week and a half has been crazy around here.(Well at least for me). We have been enjoying our little new girl so much. it has been so fun. Maddux is such a great big brother and little helper. and Tilden has also been great. Now for me as you can see in the last pic it is of my feet well, I have had a few bad accidents lately I first burnt my nipple with the curling iron after I got out of the shower, (I wont go into to much detail about that) and two days after that the same day I went to the doc for it I fell down a few steps and thought I broke my ankle for sure. So we ended up in the emergency room all night. Thank goodness it is not broken just twisted. but the swelling is unbelievable. It is so huge that when i touch it with my finger it leaves an indent for like 2 min. So I am now layed up on the couch with Krutches.? not sure how to spell that. but it has been horrible and driving me crazy not to move at all. but it has now been 3 days and it is getting better. Maddux gets a kick out of me, he says mom are you hippyin around. Hippy over here. and then laughs. But Maddux is doing great at school and loving it and making so many new friends. Every day he comes home with new stories to tell us. The other night we were sitting down and he said he didnt want to go to school anymore he said "I want to get big and read somethin with my bigness". It was so hilarious. we have now started a tablet with all of the funny things he says and does.





Tilden and I were talking the other day and he said to me "man she poops so loud and it sounds like there is so much pressure built up and coming out. I bet it could shoot real far" well the next day he was changing her diaper and what do ya know she shot pooh all over him. It was so hilarious that i started choking and Tilden was just in shock. hahahahaha. Bella is so pretty when she smiles Tilden was kissing her and his hair was tickling her face when she was half asleep. She is so stinking cute. So that is our update on pics for the last week and a half. I hope to post more often as soon as it gets easier for me to get to the office. hahahahaha

Maternity pics with the family

We had these pictures done when I was almost 37 weeks. We had a lot of fun taking them, and maddy always loves his picture taken. Tilden also did an excellent job as well. I was very proud of both of them. But I figured Bella is already here so I should put them up before it gets to far out. haha
