Back again.

I can't believe I haven't posted anything in 2 months now! Shame on me! Well Happy 4th of July to everyone :) I hope we get to see some fireworks tonight. We're going to the home of some friends from Sunday School for a cookout this afternoon.

Tyler is doing great. He has learned lots of words in the last month. This is his vocabulary right now:

Mama, Mom-Mom, Pa-Pa, Papa, Be-ba (Bella), Emma, Juice, Plate, Bowl, No, Book, Night-Night, Bye-Bye, Hey, Hello, Moon, Boom-Boom (as in Boom, Boom, POW) lol, "ga-ge-tha" as in "Gotta get that". I'm sure there is more but my head hurts, lol.

Uncle Frank just had FIVE bypasses on his heart!!! Thank God he is doing well now!

Paul is loving his new career although he's not getting the clients he would like. It's a lesson in patience.

As for me, I'm just enjoying being a Stay-at-home-Mom. Tyler and me are addicted to each other! He loves to goof off and have a good time with Daddy, but when he's hurt, sad or sleepy...it's all Mommy! And I just love that. He really is the best child I could have ever asked for!

I have to run for now. I plan on keeping this updated more often from now on. If I find some time this week I'd like to update the blog and make it look all pretty, hehe. Have a safe weekend everyone!

Finally An Update!

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated! Things have been crazy around here.

PAUL IS HOME! He came back to NC on April 26. He & Tyler are getting along great. He's only called him "Da-da" once, instead he keeps calling him "Ma-ma", aww.

We moved into our new home and finally have it unpacked. Not quite organized completely but we're getting there. It's perfect for us. There's even enough room for one more baby eventually, lol.

Today is Paul's first day at Prudential Realty off of Six Forks Road in Raleigh. He's very excited about that. He is going to do great, I just know it.

That's our little update for now. I'm going to try to keep this thing updated better, I promise. I'll even post more pictures!

Update!

He is ONE!

Hey guys!

Things have been so crazy around here that I haven't had much time to update this thing. First my computer crashed, then came house-hunting, which seemed to take forever! Paul will finally be back to the States next week! I'll be so happy to see him! We are in the process of buying our first home! It's in Knightdale and we really love it! It's much smaller than we were hoping for, but I'm in love with it! It's perfect for our little family and even an addition in another year or two :0) We are set to close March 27 if everything goes smoothly. Tyler turned one on Valentine's Day. We had some friends and family over to help us celebrate but of course Tyler was sick on his birthday. I don't think I got a single picture of him smiling! At the moment he has a double ear infection but seems pretty happy. He slept almost the entire day today. Anyway! Here are a couple pictures we had made for his 1st birthday! Enjoy!

Update!

Hey yall!

Today Paul and I celebrate THREE YEARS of marriage! And I have to say, it's been an amazing three years! I always knew he'd be a wonderful husband, but wow...God made an AMAZING husband and father out of Paul. Our family is truely blessed.

This morning at church Tyler got to play the role of Isaac, Sarah's son. He went to the different Sunday School classrooms, where the little kids were told that he was Issac, who Sarah had just given birth to minutes earlier...well, he does grow fast!

Paul sent me a HUGE blanket, with our family picture on it! I'll try to post a picture of that tomorrow, it's beautiful. Man I love my hubby!

I start back at the gym tomorrow. Please be praying for me because I'd like to lose 30 lbs by Feburary! That's a lot to lose in 2 1/2 months! I have a wedding to be in, plus I'd like to lose it by the time I see Paul if nothing else ya know. From what I hear, he's been beefing up at the gym himself, I just wanna "beef-down" lololol. sigh.

Just a little update...

I have a surprise that I'm working on for Paul, so I can't tell it yet, but soon! It's something for him for our third wedding anniversary coming up at the end of the month. He says I have a package coming and to wait till Nov. 23 to open it, yea, I'll try!

Anyway! Tyler just said, "ball" as he was crawling over to his bouncy ball. He's so smart. I think he's hitting another growth spurt because it seems like all he does is sleep all day. He's also getting over a cold thingy too, so that might be it.

I can't believe Tyler will be ONE in three months!!! My baby is getting so big...I'm very proud of him. I need some ideas, what kind of first birthday party can you through in the middle of winter? Something indoors that's also fun for adults. I guess we'll see. Tyler cut another tooth the other day, his bottom tooth to the right of the front two. I wonder if he'll ever get his two front teeth!?

Update on us

Hey everyone! Just wanted to update real fast while I have a minute. Paul and his friends are on their way now to the storage unit here in Minot to put half of our belongings there. The rest will probably stay here until Todd gets here. In case you didn't know, he's flying in on September 3 and then him, me and Tyler are driving back to NC.

Tyler is doing great. He cut his second tooth this morning! Now he's got two pearly whites that shine through when he grins, it's so adorable. I know he's proud of them too because he smiles a lot now. Like, "Hey, look at these!" He's having a blast with his Daddy. He has no idea that Paul's leaving us soon. We went out to dinner last night and there was a one year little girl, we both couldn't believe that's how big Tyler will be when Paul gets home from Guam.

Tyler can crawl, sit up alone, feed himself, and pull himself up on everything. He gets all excited when he pulls himself up, I know it makes him feel like a big boy. I guess he is becoming a big boy :( If I had my way he'd stay this sweet an innocent forever.

After we leave, Paul will have two weeks left here in Minot before they head out. Then he'll be gone until late Feb 2009. Since his enlistment is up that summer, he's not going to come home to NC until then. He'll actually be moving back to NC in April 2009...because he's saved up over 60 days of leave, they have to let him out early with pay!

Well, that's about all that going on this way! Oh, for those of you who were waiting for find out if I am pregnant again or not...

I'm NOT!

I was almost a whole month late. What a scare!

I have new pictures to post and I'll post them tonight. I don't know how to put the memory card into this new laptop and I have to have Paul show me how! Talk to you soon!
