Hot Dog!

My television has officially been taken over by a two year old!

Whenever I am home the only thing that ever seems to be playing on my TV when Lilly is around is either Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Yo Gabba Gabba! (I have to admit that Mickey Mouse is much more tolerable than Yo Gabba Gabba.)

Lilly is OBSESSED with Mickey though and here are some pictures to prove it...

Take A Deep Breath...

This is no longer a valid concept in my life. Not for the next few months anyways.

Little man has decided that the most comfortable place to be is in my lungs, and it wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that I need them to breathe. And every time I try to take a deep breath all get is a kick in the ribs. I can already tell he is going to be a little more feisty than his sister.

In other news... Mr. W is home from the field. Sadly he did come home pretty sick. last night his temperature was 102.5 when it finally broke it resulted in a sweat soaked bed only to be followed a couple hours later by my husband having the chills which resulted in him putting on a long sleeve shirt and sweatpants. He felt much better this morning but still not 100%

and here is the picture of the day...

July to Now

IN JULY:

We went to freedom fest. This year it featured Gretchen Wilson and .38 Special. We didn't know many songs by either band, But we did get to spend some time with our friends and with each other. And because it was july and Louisiana we spent some time at the pool trying to cool off. Lilly and I got a little sunburnt (myself a little more than Lilly) but its to be expected when you have such fair skin.

Mr. W turned 23. He had to work the roads on his Birthday but me and Lilly made him a cake for when he got home and it turned out great! He was so happy that his birthday wasn't a "complete waste."

also... we found out the gender of the baby and...

ITS A BOY!

PRESENTLY:

We have not decided on a name yet nor have we started shopping but it will all come in time.

I am currently 24 weeks along and he is growing right on track.

I am still working and plan to keep working until I find myself being in the way or the baby comes...which ever happens first at this rate.

Lilly spent more time in the water and even went bowling with us last weekend. I also decided to buy some playdoh for her and see how it would go and I must say I am slightly impressed that it has not been smooshed into the carpet or blended together. she has fun pretending its food and cutting it up. and everything else she makes is a "fish". She is as fun as ever and I am LOVING every minute of it!

April, May, & June

IN APRIL:

We took a couple trips to Houston. the first was to take Mr. W's parents back to the airport. we spent the day before at the zoo and took them to Rainforest cafe for dinner. The second time was with our friends we went to the zoo again and also went and did some shopping. Mr.W's sister, Ashley, ended up staying with us to help with Lilly while we are working and so that she could get out of small town, Michigan for a while.

We even had a date night with our friends. we all went to dinner and then went bowling!

IN MAY:

We got to see Baby #2 for the first time!

we also took Lilly to the new splash park on post, i got my new kindle and we brought home a new member of the family... Rocko!

And FINALLY Mr.W and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. He took me out to dinner at Hana's!(fancy Japanese restaurant)

IN JUNE:

We did a whole lot of nothing... we worked and worked and that's about it. everyone in a while me and Mr.W would actually have time off together and tried our best to make a day of it but that usually just meant taking Lilly to the park or going to a movie. but time together is better than no time at all <3

January,February, & March

IN JANUARY:

We went to the Houston Zoo on new years day and it was a ton of fun. Lilly loved seeing all the animals and spending some quality time with just mom and dad. I also started my New (not so glamorous job) at pizza hut. Little did i know what i was getting myself into when I started working there.

(p.s. military familys get into the Houston zoo for FREE)

IN FEBRUARY:

We got into our schedules and worked... it was a very uneventful month.

IN MARCH:

I celebrated my 21st birthday! It was a blast! My husband and took me out to the bar with our friends and needless to say I got pretty drunk. I remember a majority but what I remember most is getting a cake smashed in my face. Needless to say it was a fun evening. We also spend the weekend in Shreveport while Lilly was with a babysitter. My husband took me to all the casinos and we went shopping!

We got our carpet replaced. not by choice, I might add. We returned home from Shreveport only to discover that our entire downstairs had flooded overnight. It sucked :(

A few weeks later we celebrated Lillian's 2nd birthday! Mr.W's parents came down to visit for the week and we had lots of fun we spent some time in Houston, Went to the south Texas State Fair, took Lilly to Chuck E. Cheese for her birthday and spent some greatly needed time together.

and finally, drumroll please....

WE'RE PREGNANT!

we found out the day after St. Patrick's day.

Sidelined

Oh goodness! its been a while since I wrote...sorry I left you all.

Mr. W has been home since the end of October and we have been on the go up until this week with all the holidays. he was home for about 2 weeks before he went on block leave. 

we went to Florida to visit my Father and had a great time. We went to Sea World, Downtown Disney, Busch Gardens, And a Tampa Bay Lightning game!

And then we were home for literally one day and went to Houston with our friends who were being sealed and left about 3 hours after that for Michigan where we surprised Mr.W's dad and sister for their birthdays. it was alot of fun and they were very excited to see us. and we had a great time. we went ice skating, made lilly's first snowman, had thanksgiving dinner, i made my first ever apple pie, and spent some quality time with our family.

And finally we came back home and spent Christmas at Fort Polk for the first time since actually being stationed here. And I have to admit it was a nice change of pace. in the months to follow Mr.W got back to his usual work and I actually got a job as well. Its nothing glamorous but its better than nothing.

(don't worry i will do posts for each month to do a full recap)
