May 25 - 31 :: Day 16 - 22

Yayy for Memorial Day weekend!!! Kevin was released early again and this time it was for a 96!! So we got our butts into gear for that awesome weekend!! Lots of family time, a trip to the aquarium, the beach and a bbq where we invited a few friends over. But I'd have to say the beach was the best part about our memorial weekend.

The reason for my lack of writing is because we had to get together our lives and pack it all up for our California trip. I'm a hole bundle of nerves because I'm not looking forward to a 6hour flight with a 6month old. Its a red eye so we shall see if we can get him asleep for the plan ride that leaves at 8pm.

But with out further ado our huge lot of pictures from our crazy busy weekend/week <3

May 24 :: Day 15

What an awesome surprise Tristan and I received today!!! Kevin was actually let out of work early and so that let Tristan ans Daddy have some great play time and I was able to have a lovely Skype date with my girlfriend from across the ocean. Now since we have two extra hours of family time we are heading to pick up the truck and finally get some ice cream we've been promising Tristan for his half birthday.

So yes, that means we will be having ice cream before dinner : ] ice cream pictures will go up with Tomorrows blog and tonight on our dinner menu we will be enjoying Taco Salad!!! Yummiez

May 22 & 23 :: Day 13 & 14

Errands and play times have been our past two days. Trying to get ourselves back into a routine is making Tristan and I super tired and his teething with all the droooooool isn't helping his normal happy personality. We are watching a friends two dogs this week and getting ready for this weekends bbq.

So something I'm curious about is since I love to cook and try new things, I'm wondering if adding my dinner plans and how it turns out would add an interesting touch to my everyday blog??

May 18, 19, 20 & 21 :: Day 9, 10 & 11, 12

This past weekend was crazy busy!!! Tristan turned 6months old and received a big red wagon from Grandma and Papaw and an outfit with a couple pair of shoes from Nana and Papa. He loves them all and its crazy to think my little Boy is 6months old. Nobody was kidding when they say the older and more responsibilities you have the way time flies soooooooo much faster. I never expected it to be the middle of May and thinking how our little man is already halfway to one. But before I get all sentimental let's continue about our weekend.

Helen spent Wednesday through Saturday with me, while Kevin was in the field. We spent our nights just like when we use to live together. I was thrilled whenever I got to see Kevin on Friday. Helen was kind enough to snap a picture through our window. We were able to end our evening with a double date. Our evening was going to have to be cut short for we were going to have a very early Saturday Morning.

Saturday Morning we were up early and out on the road. Helen, James, Kevin and I were on our way to see Tristan and that night WICKED!!!! It was an amazing show and something I will always cherish because of the people I went with. But before we went to see Wicked, we went to Baby R Us, and bought Tristan's big boy carseat!!! Which hasn't made him like the five point harness anymore. But the leg room he has now and arm room makes him happier.

Sunday, was spent with the three of us looking for houses and just a simple Lazy Sunday. We are looking forward to next weekend in having no where to go and enjoying a family weekend, Church and then our bbq we are having after church.

Now as for today, Tristan and I are going to enjoy ourselves and playing with the puppies we are watching for a friend. Planning on taco salad for dinner and hopefully Kevin and I will have a moment to maybe catch a movie on TV. But we shall see. Heading to bed at 8:30 is rather cherished. That seems to be another thing I appreciate more. I enjoy, sleep and cherish time.

May 17 :: Day 8

Today will be very short. Its been a rather lazy day, besides a little cleaning and a few errands. Tomorrow Kevin comes home and I get to pick up Tristan. I can't wait to get to sleep tonight!!!! I don't have any pictures for today because I literally have relaxed and enjoyed a quite house with Helen who I forgot to mention came and is spending the weekend with me. I will say one other thing for today. My brain is a tad bit in over drive, I am trying to start a website for my pet sitting service I am trying to start all over again in this area. I never had a website back home because of all my business basically being word of mouth. Here, I believe that may be a tad hard for I am one military wife of a bazillion it seems. But have no fear, I will not let that stop me because I can do this and I will do this. I miss having a purpose, not that taking care of Tristan isn't my main one and a very occupying one. It has just become the part of my life now and feel like I could help contribute a little more. Plus a little extra money on the side never hurts. So do wish me luck on my website and keep a possible future business in your prayers.

May 16 :: Day 7

Today is short and sweet. Its my half birthday, so Yayy me. I miss my little boy, but he is staying with Grandma and Papaw until Friday because this shuga mama has to clean and re organize like its cool.

So tonight has me going to bed a little bitter sweet. For once in the past 6 months I finally have a second to breathe and let my brain chill and just let go for a second. There is no husband or baby for me to think about. But now that everything is quite and I'm laying my head down for the night I realize how much I cherish this crazy hectic lifestyle I have as a wife and mom. My heart hurts tonight for as much as I miss them. I shall use this as a moment for learning. Love and cherish every time with the ones you are given cause you just don't realize how green your grass is. God doesn't give any obstacles in life we can't handle and the crazy life we learn to live with everyday is truly a blessing I'm glad I never have to live with out!!!

I love my boys to Pluto and Back <3

May 15 :: Day 6

What a busy day!!! We woke up super early cause we were so excited to play today. We got started on our huge long to do list early. Taking Daley our Plott Hound, to the Vet and getting his third puppy boosters. We got to see my old bosses and my old coworkers who all just adore Tristan and of course he just loves the attention.

After our visit to the vet, we had a great nap and then went over to help at my parents Rentals again. Heading afterwards to Lowes to pick up some Lumber for our big boy bed that our Papaw will be building for us in the next few weeks. Eating dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Enjoy a couple bites of beans and whip cream. What a horrible Mommy I am, but it was extremely enjoyed : ] tomorrow will be just as busy. And we are both going asleep knowing we're another day down ans closer to seeing Papa Bear!

May 14 :: Day 5

Our week long trip to Grandma and Papaws house!!!! : ]

Well, this week long vacation from Hubert, NC was brought to us by the USMC taking our Favorite Papa Bear away to go be G.I.Joe for a week in the field. Not that we should be complaining about the training because this field op is training our hero to be the hero he signed up to become. So that made our day start very early.
I woke up at 4:30am with Kevin finished packing the car and finally woke up our Angel to grab him and get him snuggled in the car after his breakfast. Drove all the way the Willow Springs, and surprised them with an 8am wake up call. We played, went grocery shopping, played with Daley and the other doggies, helped Grandma and Papaw over at the rental house and then passed out hard which is what Me, Mommy will be doing asap once this day is finished being written about.

But the very last thing on our to do list was to give Tristan a Kiss from Daddy and for Tristan and I to miss him. Thank goodness we get to see him at the end of the week and not ten and a half months from today.

May 13 :: Day 4

All there really is to say about today is I'll never forget my first Mothers Day <3

Kevin woke up with me when Mr Tristan thought it would be funny to remind me how it was back in the old days and woke us up at 4am. All he wanted was a little cuddle from mommy and daddy and of course a bottle. Back to sleep for the three of us until 7am. But at that wake up call it was all Kevin, I was able to sleep until 9!!! Whoever thought that would ever be a awesome "late" morning time lol.

Our morning started out lazy, watching a TV preacher and Kevin sharing some bonding time showing him the Movie Thor already getting him hooked on the Avengers. We left in the afternoon to head out on a walking nature trail and ended our day with some Thai Cuisine! This being one of our favorites and the restaurant being one we will surely visit again. On our drive home Kevin surprised me with the small adventure in looking at houses for sale and starting to try and find a home of our own.

All in all, I couldn't ask for a better Mothers Day. I was able to spend it with my two favorite people and felt cherished as always. Looking forward to seeing where our lives head and making more memories through out the years!

Before I forget, we start our days wrestling Alfred the Alligator and get covered in Sweet Potatoes : ]

May 12 :: Day 3

Nothing exciting is really going on today. Entertaining Tristan, and trying to clean up the house from the week long ignorance by us. This can also be called Field Day, that comes from Kevin vocabulary. But we made sure to take a break this morning from cleaning to spend some time with our little man outside. It has become one of his favorite thing to do. I have a feeling that when Tristan is a little older all he will want to do is play outside. : ] but who can blame him, we've been blessed with such a wonderful nature and beautiful landscape its hard to be the outdoors with anything that's ever on TV.
