Our New Addition

The newest member of our family, Ty William, was born at 7:03 this morning, weighing in at 8 lbs 7 oz. He is super cute with dark hair, and Micole is so excited to be a big sister. She had fun holding him and giving him kisses. I will put some pictures up in a couple of days when I can get home and download them from my camera. I was so glad that Brett could be here and my parents and Brett's mom. It has been a good day!!!

Exciting Stuff for Our Family

So, I am so excited because I get to pick Brett up from the airport tomorrow morning!!!! Yeah!! His Commander and First Sargent were nice enough to let him come home for the birth of our little boy. Micole is so excited to see him. She hasn't seen him since February. I am excited to have them play together and just spend some quality time together. It is also a little strange to think that I am going to have a baby again in 4 days. I am so ready, but at the same time a little nervous. I am use to handling a 3 year old not a newborn. I am a little sad that it isn't just going to be Micole and me anymore. We have bonded a lot in the last 5 months with Brett gone. She definitely knows how to try my patience and at the same time melt my heart with by doing something super sweet. I know it will be good to have a new little member of our family, but it is just going to be different. So much fun stuff happening this weekend!!

Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to give a shout out to all the mothers out there. I am so thankful for my mother, mother-in-law, and grandmothers. I am so thankful for all the love and sacrifice mothers make for their children. I know I didn't understand how much my mother did for me until I had a child of my own. Even now, my mom is still doing little things for me. I don't know what I would do with out her. I have been fortunate to live somewhat close to my mom and know that if I ever needed anything, she would be right there for me. Here in a couple of months, it isn't going to be that easy. I love you mom for all that you have done and the person you are. I am so thankful for the things you have taught me and the things I continue to learn from you on a daily basis. Thank you!!! And Happy Mother's Day!!!

And our final destination is . . . .

I know we have a lot of friends wondering where we are going to end up after Brett is done with is tech school training. Well, I finally have an answer. But first, an update. Brett will be done with his training around Aug. 19th, probably a few days later than that. He is currently taking classes from 11:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. every night. It has been hard for him, but he is doing well in his classes. Well I know that everyone reading this just really wants to know where we are going to be stationed for the next couple of years, so I will get to the point. We will be stationed at . . . . . . McGuire AFB. McGuire is located in Wrightstown, NJ. Yes that is right, we are going to be moving to New Jersey, you did not read that wrong. It came with some mixed emotions, especially from Brett, but he has resigned himself to live in the Northeast with the Yankees for a couple of years. We are getting excited, and I am already planning on the places we can go. It is a huge step for both of us. I have never lived outside of Utah or Idaho. Brett and I both come from such small towns, we are really going to have to get use to living in a more populated area. So, all we can say is bring on the adventure!
