Momma + 2

Mommy Graphics


We are expecting baby number two!!! We are so excited and happy. According to the chinese gender chart, we might be having a boy! I am so happy. I kind of gave up on hope that another baby was in our future. It is funny how it happened though. When I had my Ava I said I didn't want to have another baby till she was at least three and in two months she will be three lol. I feel bad at the same time, because I have a best friend that wants to have another child and has tried and nothing has happened. I feel bad for being excited that we are having another child and she can't at the moment.

Day Five

A picture of your favorite memory.
My favorite memory is when my love bug came into my life. Ava has completed my life in so many ways. Changed it in so many ways. She is my reason for life. My greatest accomplishment in life is being her mommy!

HOME SWEET HOME

Can I say that being home and spending time with family is the greatest thing in the world. We celebrated our christmas and we got so spoiled. Ava got so much stuff that it will probally take over her room at the new house :P I surprised my hubby with the one thing he wanted, a new tv for the living room. A big 50" tv. I most certainly got brownie points for that!! We have a little over a week left with our families and then it is off to NY!!!! It is so wonderful being home and better yet closer to home!!! We have so much going on and things to look forward too. I am super excited!

And for the biggest news yet. My big girl Ava is using the potty!!!!!! She personally trashed her diapers and we are in pull ups and using the potty. And she has done this all on her own. I am such a proud mommma!!

Will start blogging fully again once things get a little more settled :P

And the craziness continues :P

Whoever said moving was fun or easy must have been on crack. This is so insane and stressing. I hope once we get on the road this week and things get moving things will get better. Can't wait to go home to visit!!! And on a big note my baby girl is using the big potty like such a big girl. She loves her dora underwear! I am such a proud momma. She is so smart! I am truly blessed in everything in my life!

Friends that become family

Living in the military world and always being away from family. It is nice when you have friends that become your second family. I am just lucky to have found some pretty amazing friends that have been through a lot but always brough us back together even stronger. Those kinds of friends last a life time. With that being said here is abother photo from the photo shoot. When we get to our next base I am getting it framed, it is beautiful!

Bitter Sweet Day

Today I had a photoshoot with my best friends. It was bitter sweet. It was awesome because, we had so much fun and these photos will last forever no matter where we go. At the same time it was sad though, knowing that in days I will be leaving my girls and will be so far away and will miss so much. And it hurts and it's kind of depressing. I know that our friendship is strong and will overcome and distance and time but it's still hard. Not being able to drive down the street or taking a 20 min drive and being there. None the less I am glad that we did this. The photos turned out amazing and I will have these memories forever!
Today was great and the shoot was awesome and my baby girl has a calling for being a photographer :)

Christmas Recap!

Ava opening some of her presents!!


Her favorite present. Her american girl baby doll!! She was so excited!


Her second favorite was her Dora guitar









Christmas was so heart filling. Seeing my baby girl's eyes light up just put me in awe. We were so grateful to have our hero home for Christmas as well and have our little family together. We had many blessings this year :P

And the countdown is on...t-minus 11 days till we start our East Coast Trip!! Looking forward to our big Christmas with our families back home!!

Crunch Time & An update on this thing called LIFE

I can't believe that it's LITERALLY 3 days till Christmas!! It's crazy. Time has gone by way too fast! We have about two weeks till we leave Washington state and head to Fort Drum, NY. Not looking forward to the long drive, but it will be a new adventure! I am totally looking forward to the pit stop with our families and having a second, even if late Christmas with them all. I am getting anxious about the move. I hate that I can't have everything planned ahead and know this is going to happen at this time and ect. It literally makes me bonkers.

Things with the family are great. We are all excited for our family to get out here and visit and then for our journey across country :P. Ava is a ball of nonstop energy. It amazes me how much knowledge she has. She can now count to five with no help and ten with help and can get to h with little help. She knows the majority of her colors and her shapes. And she is picking up new words left and right and is putting together whole sentences. It makes me proud to see her accomplish so much!!

That is the majority of what is going on. Working on clearing out of this station and then headed home for a little then up to New York!

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to yours!!

holiday cheer and upcoming events

I am getting so excited for Christmas. Even though we aren't decorating for Christmas because of having to take it down a few days later to move. But none the less I am excited. I got Ava some really cool gifts for Christmas. I am so excited to see her reactions this year. I think my favorite gift though would be the American Girl Doll!!!!! I had one growing up and I loved it. I hope she will love it as much as I did. They have a lot more accessories now then they did when I was little. I can't wait for her to open it up and see her expression!!

I am excited to be able to celebrate our Christmas with just us and then a few days later starting our road trip home to the lovely east coast and visting all our wonderful family and friends!

I am excited for it all!!!! The best late Christmas Dinner! SNOW!!!!! Presents!!! Family!! Friends!!!

I am so blessed this year. I have an amazing husband a beautiful and smart daughter. The greatest friends a girl could ask for and most of the greatest families ever. I can't believe this is my life. I take pride of sure and I count my blessings daily for sure.

I am so excited for the move to NY as well. Looking forward to a new setting, meeting new people, though I will learn from pervious lessons and make sure that never happens again. Looking forward to the snow, which has already started. The beautiful scenery :P. These next three months are going to be crazy, sad, fun, chaotic and all the above.

Things are so crazy. We are getting ready to pcs to NY. Didn't realize how much work I was actually going to have to do lol. Time is going so fast now, soon we will be celebrating Christmas together and then movers will get our stuff and then we are outta here and on our way back to the sweet 'ole east coast!!! I can't wait to be closer to our families and friends. We have missed so much! Looking forward to moving into a bigger and prettier house!!! Which will mean new furniture and more stuff to decortate!! So much to look forward to. Only down fall is having to say goodbye to my two best friends!!! Even if it is just for a little while :) Skype will most liklely be our best friends again!!

I am excited for Christmas!! I got such amazing gifts for both of my loves. I love that I am able to splurge on them this year and not really have a budget. All my hard work has paid off so much and I love it!!.

Our life is great right now, and I so happy and in love. I am blessed. What more could a girl want!

You will always be two faced

People really need to grow up. No one cares about what you have to say. You have said the same thing over and over again. Now it just comes out blah blah blah. Really come out with something new to say. You can't hurt anyone. You have nothing. You really need to get a hobby or a job because you have way to much time on your hands. Here is a tip why don't you actually graduate high school instead of lying about it, because guess what you got caught lying again. Just goes to show how pathetic you are! And shows that you really will end up be a nothing! Keep showing everyone that you life really does revolve around drama. We all know that you try to hurt other people to make yourself feel better. If I had to live your miserable life and marriage and I might do the same thing. Keep talking all the smack you want on everyone, because at the end of a day we could always use a couple more laughs.
