It's Flag Day

One of the little known holidays in Amurrica (W-ism) is Flag Day. I never knew when Flag Day was really, until last year. It just so happens to be Trista's birthday today and her sister pointed out that she was born on Flag Day... which is painfully significant. So Happy Birthday, Trista! I can't believe it's been almost a whole year.

We're doing a little prep work for tomorrow. Josh happens to have duty again today. Last time he had it was the day before Mother's Day. I am starting to think his unit hates him and his little family too. Thankfully this time he'll be home by 9pm instead of 6am like last time. I will post more "prep work" pictures tomorrow or Monday. I don't want to ruin anything for Daddy.

Tristan was officially 9 months old yesterday! I guess my standing prediction was wrong. He's getting better, but he's so curious about his surroundings that his desire to try and stand up on his own is pretty much nil. Standing requires being still... that's not Tristan's idea of a good time. Ugh... I need to go grocery shopping :P BOOOOO!!!!!

guess what, Dave has duty today to. It sucks, but we can't do anything about it. He has duty though for 24 hours and this happens every 8 days. So, I put his cards in the bathroom for him when he woke up today to go to work. I guess we'll celebrate tomorrow!

"Happy Birthday Trista!"

Tristan is such a happy baby!

Oh I forgot to add in the other post I love the card Noah made for Josh. I can't wait for Ava to be able to do that how awesome! I bet Josh loved it!

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

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

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....
