My Beautiful Boys :)

I put Tristan in a 3-6mos outfit today and he wasn't swimming in it like I had hoped. He weighs 11 pounds now!! I am washing all my 3-6mos clothes. I forgot how much adorable stuff I had!! He's going to be so stylin' :) I just hope it cools down soon so he can wear them because they're all winter-ish. It's still stinkin' 90 degrees out here (record highs for this time of year). Noah was born a month before Tristan so I guess it is odd for it to be this hot still. I just don't remember it ever NOT being hot. OK ok... January when we had the ice storms it was cold, but that's it! I also found the giraffe costume in that box. I thought I had given it back to Michelle, but there it was... sitting right on top. So Tristan is at least going to be a giraffe for pictures this year :) I think it would be too hot for him to wear it on Halloween. Stupid Texas.

No concrete news from Josh yet. There is an option we're trying to secure that would ensure no deployments for the last 3 years of his enlistment. I will let everyone know when we have orders for sure. Most likely we'll be moving... fast. I've been spending my days with my new friend Karrie who lives right down the street. She rocks. I wish I could drag her along with us when we move. I am going to call her right now and we're going to the park. I want to make sure she knows where everything is around here before I leave. I can't believe I had no friends for 4 years and then finally, when we might move... I make 2 great friends with kids. Oh well. That's what the internet is for! We'll all keep in touch I'm sure :)

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

Image
We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

Image
We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Our 4th Anniversary

Image
Since we hardly ever see each other, when we finally do it's always some kind of celebration. This time we're celebrating our 4th anniversary so we're going to do a whole weekend. This is where we'll be spending our weekend alone :) It's the perfect place to get away from everyone and just be together. We don't even have to find someplace to cook! Even though the full kitchen looks more like a stove and a sink and no counter space. We'll make do. We're bringing a lot of games, some food, and ourselves. We might also bring along our fishing gear. We've already decided the TV is not going to be turned on (unless the Daily Show is on because we really miss Jon Stewart). Most likely we just won't turn it on. There are places to hike and the cabins are right next to the river. We've gotten so much rain lately it's probably pretty full. I'm very excited! I haven't been away from Noah for more than a day since he was born....
