Monkey Girl

We were at a friends house tonight and I look over to see this....

Boy do I think we have a long adventure ahead of us!

confession

As most of you know, or for those of you that haven't heard yet, the mercedes.... not mine! Dang it! It was a test. Tyson wanted to post it and see who would comment and what they would say. For the most part it didn't turn out how he was expecting. So guys, I wasn't all that lucky for Valentines this year. But it really is our friends car and have both driven it. TONS of fun! That car has BALLS! 350 horse power! Tyson was gasing it in the church parking lot one night after mutual cause Melissa (the owner) wanted to see from the outside how sweet her car looked and handled. She loved it, of course. And Tyson left tire marks on the starting line! Fun stuff!

However, I am crazy about BMWs, so when you see my post about that, it will be true! (in like 20 years!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNTER!!!

I offically no longer have a baby. She is a toddler now, and so much fun. She is absolutely CRAZY! She is the most busy child. She doesn't stop unless she is sleeping, no exaggeration. She is walking, yes for those of you who ask, officially walking full on full time all the time. In fact she cruises! She almost runs! She now has 7 teeth. She says mama, dada, and uh-oh. She gives loves (hugs) to everything. So adorable. She tries to put on her socks and shoes. Climbs on EVERTHING! Blows kisses, waves, pets her head when we say soft..???, helps me clean! yes, its true, she takes the rag from me and wipes her tray, and if she finds a tissue or anything on the floor she will wipe the fridge or cabinets. (I think I need to invest in the mini vacuum!) She turns on and off the TV, the DVD and Dish. On and off lights. And sometimes she will put her toys away in her basket, or the blocks in the bag. She is a smart girl! She observes so much!

Homemade cake from mommy!

Dig in!

Oh, It's so good!

Opening presents!

For her birthday, since we don't have family to celebrate with, we just had cake and icecream with some of our friends from the ward. They are all so great! She got lots of clothes. Which was much needed! And she loves all of her new toys, what kid wouldn't? Thanks to all who sent gifts and cards! Its much appreciated!

yup, i was tagged...

I was tagged by my sister Ryan, 6th folder, 6th picture. Well I had 2 choices. When I went one way I got a picture of my pregnant belly. I didn't think anyone would really want to see that. Luckily when I opened it a different way this is what I got. Not too exciting. This is the room we stayed in at the Anniversary Inn over Christmas break 2006. We were living in Texas at the time for Tyson to go to tech. school for his training. We came home over the holiday and he totally surprised me by making reservations for the Inn for one night! SO SWEET! Tyson is not good at keeping secrets from me, so for me to have NO IDEA, was way awesome! It was a lot of fun!
So for my tag I choose Dana R., Whitney L., Heather M., Sabrina S., and Natalie J.! Post the 6th picture in your 6th folder.

Best Valentines Day EVER!!!!.... a little late.

For Valentines Day this year I had the BEST surprise EVER!!! Well actually 3 days later. Tyson flew in on Saturday and we had to babysit with the youth for our ward so the adults could go on dates. So we didn't get to go on a date ourselves. So we just gave each other a little gift knowing that we wouldn't be able to do anything big. Well since Tyson was gone last week he had the day off of work today. We just bummed at home and relaxed till he had to leave for school, which was really nice. At 3:30 our friend called and invited us over to look at the pictures from their trip(they just got back from cancun for a week). Sweet! So we pull up to this.....

What!?!? They got a new car!!!

That's a sweet ride!

NO WAY! It's for me!!! Surprise! Tyson got me a car! I have been wanting a smaller car to drive around town so I don't have to drive the sequoia. I had NO IDEA! He said he got an awesome deal he just couldn't pass up. I LOVE IT!!!

Yes, I am blogging about Tyson again, but I love him. I got another morning picture, which woke me up today at 5:50! Im not for sure, but I'm guessing that is the tents they are sleeping in in the background through the trees.

Im not sure why, but when he sent me this picture his words were "smurf wars". Yes that is him.
Dinner time! They have been eating MRE's. (Meal Ready to Eat) Which are pretty cool for those of you that don't know about them. They come with a chemical packet to boil water so they can have a HOT meal.

Yummy!

It's hard to see this picture, but it's looking into his meal.

The poor thing said he was having a hard time keeping it down. He is getting sick of them, and it's only the 3rd day. I'm sure he will be excited for a GOOD meal! In his terms that means a good steak... guess we'll be going out for that one!

Silver Flag, Florida

So Tyson has been sending me some pictures of his trip and I thought it would be fun post them. It gives me something to do, it's good practice, and I don't get to do it much when he is here. He has been scoping out the place to see if maybe it would be somewhere we would like to get stationed. And I told him to send some of what he is doing there cause it makes me not miss him as bad!

This is the tent they are sleeping in.

His own personal space.

The base in the morning.

The gun he has to carry around all day everyday.

Crossing the ocean on his drive to the base.

He would kill me if he knew I put this one, but the water looks so much better in it!

Kinda blurry, but the trees look pretty in the sunset!

All in all he has been having a good time. They didn't do much today. But he said when they went to breakfast today at the dining facility he was like on the beach. The base is like RIGHT THERE! That's exciting. But it's flat. yuck. been there, done that, in Texas. Bummer. We love the mountains. The humidity makes it a little chilly. When he was talking to me he was in thermals and a sweatshirt and he was shivering... and he is ALWAYS hot! Day 2.... check! 2 down, 5 to go!

He left me...

I hope that you aren't all thinking something bad happened. He didn't leave me leave me, just for a week. He went off to Florida for some training. SUCKY! I hate it! Every time he leaves I think it will get better each time... WRONG! It still sucks. I love looking forward to him coming home from work every day. About 3:00 P.M. everyday I start getting ancy and excited. I know he will be home in about 2 hours! Not this week. I don't have anything to look forward to for 7 days! Not to mention that I have to go to bed alone. Also HATE! I am very much a cuddler and nothing is worse than having to go to sleep by myself! I almost rather sleep on the couch.

For those of you who don't know, this is what Tyson looks like for work everyday.

I am so in LOVE! I miss you Honey!
