Sweet Lily

Dear sweet Lily happy 2nd birthday. I still can't believe it's been 2 years. I know I say this about Emilee too but it seems like just yesterday you were born. You were the sweetest, easiest baby I have ever been around. You were/are such a cuddler and I could hold you all day long. As a baby you were so laid back, I use to say I could count on one hand how many times you cried in the past month. You were just happy to be around. You were always a good sleeper and eater, there really wasn't much that you wouldn't eat. At around 10 months a new personality came out. You became very strong willed and you knew exactly what you wanted and you'd make sure you'd get it. You were a bit of a handful. There were some days when I missed my sweet laid back baby. But sweet Lily you have turned in to the funniest 2 year old. You act silly and you can always make people laugh. You have the absolute sweetest little voice. You still have your attitude and can throw one mean fit, but you get over it pretty quick and are back to being your goofy self. Lily you have added something to my life that I never new was missing until you were born 2 years ago. You have been a great addition to our family. You adore your older sister as she does you. My hope for the two of you is that you will always be close. Always love each other and be there for each other. I love you sweet lily. Happy birthday baby.

Priceless moments with a 4 year old

Conversations with 4 year olds can drive you crazy sometimes, but tonight it was just funny.

Em: Mommy did you and Daddy buy me?

Me: No sweetie Mommy grew you in my belly, remember like I did Lily.

Em: Well how did you get me out?

Me: (This is where I'm thankful for C-sections) The Dr. cut you out of my tummy. You started off really tiny then grew and grew until it was your birthday.

Em: But Mommy when did I grow?

Me: You grew everyday and you still are growing.

Em: But Mommy I don't want to be a giant.

Me: Don't worry honey I don't think you'll grow up to be a giant. Good night.

Feeling rather blah

So for the past few days my ankle has been hurting. It's really weird though, it doesn't hurt when I step on it but when I dangle my foot off the bed or when I'm stepping. So it's not me putting pressure on it that hurts it's letting it hang that hurts. Told you, weird. It doesn't hurt all the time, just random times throughout the day. To top that off I've been feeling real queezy lately. It also comes and goes. I know I'm sure you're all thinking I'm pregnant. Well I'm not and thank God for that, I have way more than I can handle with the two I have. So quezzy, hurt ankle, headache and sore everything else. Go figure. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. Atleast I'm praying I do.

I'll try and do another catch up post tomorrow, with pictures of course.

It's me, It's really me

So I've been a horrible blogger lately. School completely overwhelmed me this semester. But it's officially over and I'm out until Jan. 19th!! YEAH. There is so much I haven't gotten to blog about this semester like Em going to school, starting tap lessons, quitting tap lessons, going to Shreveport, killing all of our fish, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. I'm thinking if I update once a day it won't be so much.

I'm going to start in the middle (mainly because these are the pictures I have uploaded). Casey and I went down to Shreveport for his Squadron Annual. The hotel/casino that we stayed at was really nice. I've never been to a casino so I wasn't too sure what to expect. I did however

find out that I'm cheap and losing my money is not fun. Maybe when I'm a millionaire I'll change my mind.

So we left the girls at home with Granny and my Mom and head down for a trip alone for 4 days. It was really nice to have some adult time without having to get woken up by the kids or the dogs in the morning. I took naps, watched shows

other than cartoons, stayed out till 3 am. All that fun kid-less stuff.

Casey was up for several awards and boy did he rack them in. The one we really wanted he didn't get. Don't get me started on the person who did get it. Let's just say he's not a recruiter anymore because of his prescription drug problem. Nice. But the awards Casey brought home were pretty cool, and I'm so proud of him.

These are the people in Casey's flight

Casey winning the Chief's award. The Chief Master Sergeant picks one person a year to give his award to. He said some

really great stuff about Casey.

Casey got a bronze medal f

or the number of people that he sent off to basic training.

He also got his second silver badge. We were hoping for Gold but he got second place on that. Still proud of him though.

All the awards he ended up winning of the trip.

Casey I'm so proud of you. You are an awesome person and I'm so proud that you could win all these awards and work 2 jobs. You the best husband, friend and father anyone could ever ask for. I love you!!!
