It's been forever since I blogged but I think it is due time that I take the time once in a while to reflect and just get my thoughts out etc .. please bare with me on this journey/ramble lol
It has been months since I last updated on anything, Maddy is now coming up on her 6th birthday and is absolutely loving her first year of school she is doing awesome, she is so smart and advanced she still amazes me everyday.
Tank is now almost 2 .. it is insane to think that in just two short months we will be celebrating his b-day wow time flies when you have beautiful little miracles to keep ya going each day!
We have exciting news for our family as well we are expecting our final little miracle due to arrive mid Aug 2010, we are very excited and nervous all in one .. right now we are talking names so that when we find out the gender march 29th we will be able to put a name to the little beanie rather then" it".." beanie "or "baby" wow I guess that means in just two short months we will know it's crazy to think that I am 10 weeks already, we have yet to tell anyone other then I have told a few girls I trust etc.. Very scared to share the news as I am sure some will not think we are very smart in wanting a 3rd as we have the perfect little family as of now!! I say we will be a very blessed family no matter what :) not looking forward to being super fat in the middle of summer *sigh* lol slushies here I come.
Other then that nothing is really new for us lol it's pretty much the same day to day we have a nice little routine and cannot wait for the beautiful spring weather in another 8 weeks or so !

Updates From Us
Wow it sure has been a while since I have blogged .. Now that the nicer weather is here I will have more to blog about as we seem to be on the go more and we do more adventurous things .. over the winter nothing much really ever happens other then the holidays .. other then that we have just been spending alot of time together as a family.
Baby Tank is now well on his way from baby to toddler .. this is a bit sad for me and certainly will not help with my baby fever, he still is not walking unassisted but is standing without help so any day he will be toddling around the house, he is hard enough to chase after as it is
He sure has some speed on those little hands and knees he is growing so fast and melts my heart more and more everyday he is in love with giving kisses he loves to wave and say "hi" and "bye" he gives high 5's and claps his hands as well he now has 9 teeth no more putting my fingers in his little mouth to get a count as he would chomp my fingers off!!
He has had plenty of first since we started barbecuing he loves steak I think it is a favorite ... he is off of baby food altogether and has been since around 10 months!! what a big boy he is now weighing in at 25lbs 2 oz and 31.5 inches still looks just like his daddy ADORABLE!!
His first birthday went off without a hitch .. he was all decked out in a little suit and then changed into a special shirt that mommy made for him .. he was so cute he had his own little cake and dove right into it can you say sugar overload?? he got lots of great summer clothes and some new trucks and bath toys .. and much needed summer pj's I can't wait to see him in some of the little outfits :) we had a nice little party and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and Baby Tank sure loved the attention <3
Once again We have Maddy all signed up for soccer .. she is looking forward to it last year she did very well for her first year so I am sure this year will be awesome .. she is super excited to play!!
we will get lots of time outside with walking to and from soccer and then to daddy's ball games and we will hit up the park as often as we can .. hopefully we get away on weekends and actually get to enjoy the summer this year without a course to get in the way maybe we will even get to take a vacation as a family :)
As for AJ and I we are doing well .. I have made some big changes and love the outcome already I need to get some motivation to loose the extra weight I am carrying and I am now waiting on a call for consult on surgery .. Once that is taken care of I will be able to do so much more in the activity department I can't wait to really be able to run and play with my kids!~
The wedding planning is pretty much at a stand still until June or later as we need to find out what is going on with AJ's career and if they will be sending him over seas or not. AJ is starting ball season soon so we will be cheering him on a few nights a week .. I also am getting a new tattoo I can't wait to show it off !!
That is our update for now .. I will post some new pictures soon !!

Already In The Second Month Of 2009
It is so insane how time flies .. Next month my baby boy will be turning one and my little girl will be turning 5 .. It seems like just yesterday she was a newborn and now this fall she will be starting school wow!!
I have neglected this site for a while and I don't think I could even begin to write all things new so I think maybe I will just be better at writing more often again now that the holidays are over..
Tanner is now 10 months old and wanting to walk he is on the go all the time and still such a happy boy he lights my heart up so much!
The kids had an awesome Christmas filled with way to many toys but I loved seeing the excitement on their little faces as always and this Christmas was amazing .. waking up in our own little house just the four of us it really felt wonderful we of course took many pictures and then we headed into my parents for dinner and some time as a big ol family was a great holiday season all in all!
Now we have had some moments along the way that were not so great but the good always out weighs the bad !! so here we are now looking forward to the big event of the next 16 months and yet again all kinds of emotions and excitiment are running wild within me :)
Some of the christmas pictures at the bottom of this post .. stay tuned for more updates as I will now be more active here again.
hugs to all

Been A While!
Wow it has been forever since my last blog! things have been nothing but crazy around here with all the hustle and bustle of the 2008 holiday season .. I do have everything done and did finally end up buying everything I had my heart set on for the kids.
Everything has been good around here .. the kids are wonderful of course and Tanner is growing and amazing us more and more everyday ..I really am glad AJ got to take this time and be home with us .. it has been nice to just have the family time and the bonding was a plus for sure!
We got engaged in November (FINALLY) we have been shopping and baking and cleaning like crazy I am excited but a little sad about Christmas this year .. excited to have our very first Christmas in our house as a little family but a little sad as I am used to waking up and sharing the day with 10 people lol the laughter and excitement will still be the sound around here Christmas morning just won't be as many people.
I have been doing many photo shoots lately and for the most part I am happy with the outcome with those pictures! .. I can't wait for 2009 and expand my business!
I am going to Britney spears in march with a group of awesome girls and so that is something to really look forward too .. I am sooo excited just for the girl time
Tanner is almost 9 months old and trying to walk .. he is about 19 lbs now and is just the cutest like man ever! he melts my heart.
Madyson has been preparing for school next year and is still as tiny as ever at about 30 pounds but she is getting even more beautiful everyday.
so all in all around here we are trying to get Christmas over with so that we can really start saving and planning our wedding .. the date is set and an approximate amount of people is set .. as well as the type of dress I am looking for .. the type of reception we want and the colors are picked! .. can't wait to take my mom dress shopping with me! 2009 is going to be a year like no other!
I also had my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday that was a breeze .. I was so afraid to be awake but it wasn't all that bad I only had freezing and it was only 110 dollars to have all four out where as before it was going to be a 1000 ..I love our coverage .. what a blessing .. so that is one worry off our list of spending before the wedding .. now to have my eyes done and we are good to go :)
This is the update for now .. I will be better about blogging now that things will calm down!

New Stuff!
Lot's happening around here since the last post!
I have finally started my photography venture and I think I will go pretty far in my career, I am so glad I found something I am good at and I really love .. something I can share with others and help preserve memories of all kinds .. I have my starter camera which is a Canon Rebel Xs ( it was just released in august 2008) I am so grateful for AJ coming home that day with my "feel better" gift I love that man so much♥ ♥ I had been having the most horrible two weeks of my life when he went out and came home one day with my SLR I melted right there, He knows how much getting started on this path means to me and I am forever in his debt.♥ ♥
So I have started my website for now just another here on blog spot and did up a group on face book and once I get a little further I will invest in a real photogrpahy website but for now I can make these sites work for me! feel free to check out my new site ..

Tanner wow he has been doing so many new things .. His first thanksgiving and he had all real food he sure loved pumpkin pie and squash .. so far both my babies have loved squash the best!
Now we are having a hard time getting him to eat baby food tho, he has gotten so picky he will now only eat squash,peas,carrots and sweet potatoes but still seems to love most fruits as well he does not seem to like rice cereal so we will stick to oatmeal for now or wheat perhaps .. in the last two days he has been saying BaBa and more DaDa he also has been getting up on his hand and knees and rocking so any day my sweet little man will be crawling *sigh*
He is sitting like a pro and pulling himself all over our house still as happy as can be!♥ ♥
Madyson is still her great little self .. I call her my little momma♥ she is such a good little helper and wants to be so hands on with Tanner I figured that would wear off after the "newness" wore off but she is still so in love with her baby brother, She is all registered for kindergarten .. wow where does the time go next fall my baby girl will be going off to school *tear*♥
All is well with AJ and I, Finally got word today that his parental leave has been approved and he will be home for 10 weeks starting November 2Nd, At first I did not want him to take time off what is the sense now but now that he has it I am glad .. it will give us some bonding time as a couple and as a family♥ and we will be able to do things around the family and not work even for just these 10 weeks, So that vacation we never got this past summer is planned for November I can't wait to just get away and while away I can shop for Christmas WooHoo.
So that is our update ♥
