You are beautiful! Your family is beautiful and your new house is beautiful with you all in it!

So I just thought that I would try and put a few pics on here before Tris gets home and Monopolizes the computer...
Speaking of Tristan, he is theeeee best and coolest husband ever! I couldn't ask for more. He does everything poopy diapers, bath time, all kinds of stuff including dinner when I have a rough day! Right now he is doing Full-time work, full-time school, full-time husband and full-time dad! Yeah... "he's so cool." :) Love you BAybee!
Lila loves drinking out of Mom's water bottle!


My breast pump is like her favorite toy ever.... she will play with it for hours... that andThe Wii remote...shh don't tell dad.


She is really into the cabinets and starting to walk!!! She's been working on walking for a while now but just doesn't seem too motivated... she just does it like it's normal and not anything new. It's so fun to watch her grow!
This one's for you Kris... thanks a bunch for the jackets and stuff!


Just a cute one. I love my little baby girl! We have so much fun together! thankful to be a Mommy

Arlington Fun

The other day my friend Stephanie Bowen and myself were able to go and see our husbands hard at work. They work at The Arlington National Cemetery.

Our husband's had tried to explain it to us a few times but it was really neat to finally see with our eyes what they were talking about.

There is a kind-of parade... hmm I guess it would be more of a march to the gravesite.

See the really heavy-looking one with all the ribbons on it? Yeah that is the USAF(united states Air Force Flag). That is what Tristan carries around most of the time. That isn't him this time. This time he is on "flight".

These are the pallbearers. They are the ones that... well they're pallbearers. but one of their special duties is to fold the flag and give it to the family of the deceased.

Can you find Tristan? He's in the front row. It's hard huh? He's the second guy in from the right. He's so handsome. :)

This is the "Firing party". At the end of the funeral they sound off... 3? united shots to honor the fallen.

it's really neat!

The whole thing in all was very touching. The Honor guard band is there and they did a beautiful job. The taps at the end is what really got me. Gorgeous!

Anyway. I really enjoyed going with Stephanie to see our babies at work to honor the fallen of our country.

LiLA

Yessss i love technology...........

So just a quick update on us and little Lila...

We went to the Hospital to get another ultrasound!

Lila is doing so good! She was sleeping and we loved seeing how stinkin cute she is!

Below you can see her adorable little face!

She weighs 3lbs and 12 oz give or take 9 oz.

I'm guessing GIVE.

I loved listening to Tristan's gasps of excitement while looking at his sweet girl.

WE are so excited.

Here is a belly shot for all those who want to see how "healthy" I am looking.

love you all.

Washington friggin DC baby!

So I know that it has pretty much been a year since I've kept up on this thing...but I am turning a new leaf! Yeah beating the New Year to it and gonna start keeping up on the Blog!

It's been preeeety crazy the last few months...

We moved from FLORIDA...

Tris dropped me off in CHEYENNE and there I stayed

while he was off to TEXAS for Basic Training for the Air Force!

He was there for about a week end a half when I found out the I was PREGNANT!!

So I sent him a card in the mail letting him know that he was going to be a Daddy. "Snail mail" is right it seemed like forever before I heard back from him! But I finally got a call... He was SOOO excited!

EIGHT AND A HALF WEEKS LATER he graduated BMT(basic military training)!

And I got to fly to Texas to se him!!!

He's so cute!

COOL NEWS: Tris made the Honor Guard in WASHINGTON DC!

Great news because his original job training would have lasted through April 2010...uhm I'm due april 3rd. yikes. But for Honor Guard it is only 8 and a half weeks. phewf! He should graduate Nov. 6th! whoo hoo! Thank the Lord for that!

So Dad packs the car for me

And ellie and I are off to see what there is to see! off To DC!

So it took us 27 hours and we finally get there to meet Chane... Tristan's oldest brother and his beloved wife Joanna! They are awesome! SO fun! and I have loved staying with them!

They have 4 of the coolest kids that have been so fun getting to know.

Ellie and I went to see the sights and got

so lost! woops! It was really a lot of fun... we just didn't know where we were.

There he is, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! hottness!

The actual graduation. I totally took pictures of the wrong flight at the graduation! woops... they ALL look the same! It's crazy.

I love my baby.

ode to kitty

 So, you know how there are those couples that can't hardly stand being away from each other for like a couple minutes. Yeah, you know who I am talking about. The couples that when the other one is not around the present only rants and raves about how WONDERFUL the absent is? 

Then when they do get back together they both can't stand next to one another without touching or kissing and they both can't wipe off the most ridiculously huge perma-grin you have ever seen before? 

Well friends! That would be me! Yehp. Married 6 and a half months and loving it!

 BUT.... I just can't help missing my little "Kitty". (that's my tristan, I call him my kitty) " a little inside I know!" ANYWHO... He doesn't have his phone right now and is on a sweet "buisness trip". I like calling it that! He moves people in and out of there house and gets paid for it.

he went to Tennessee and comes home Tomorrow!!!! Can't wait! I love you Tristan and miss you tons and tons... and tons! :D
