Book Club Book Of The Week

These past 2 weeks our book club decided to read The Friday Night Knitting Club after being highly recommended by one of our members sisters. Not a bad book by any means, definatley an easy reader, but I don't know if I would recommend it to my family... only if they don't mind ultra-feminism. The main character is a super strong willed woman but the writing I found to be uncohesive. The description of the book was far from the actual story line. Yes there is a Knitting Club but very little to do with it. No actual dialoge in the Club, only amongst the characters in their lives outside of the club.

Our Home

This is the other side of our living room! our favorite place in the whole house!

Our little living room! I wouldn't change it for the world. I have got to watch my babies grow up here!

My favorite part of my yard... my beautiful tulips!

I thought that I would post some pictures of our house. Who knows how much longer we will be here and its so far away that most our family won't have the opportunity to come and visit. This was our first real home and I am absolutley in love with it. We are in a succluded col-de-sac and within walking distance to 3 parks, Braxton's school and a wonderful walking trail.

More Sad News!

Today we found out so more saddening news! Tyler will not be able to accompany us to Utah in November! Here is his schedule for the next 6 months; Dallas (HRI) Oct. 5-Oct. 12
Las Vegas (Red Flag) Oct. 16- November 5 Georgia (Jump School) Nov. 16- Dec. 5
Germany (Deployed) Dec. 28- March 10, 2009!
I am still in shock and ah! right now! I have no idea what I am going to do while he is gone. Should I stay in Utah and take Brax out of school, soccer and gymnastics just to be close to family; or keep her life semi-normal and me struggle with no family? The obvious answer is to stay here but I don't want my kids to see how bad I am hurting without their father!?

Sad News!

We just got news about 10 minutes ago that Tyler will be deploying to Germany for 2 1/2 months starting in December. I am so proud of him for all of his hard work and dedication to this country, but most of all, our family. He is such a strong example of love and devotion. I don't know how we are going to tell Brax but she is going to have the hardest time without her daddy. Hopefully though, Brax's school won't mind if we come down to Utah for a few weeks or so. But thankfully, we have a small vaca planned to Utah in November so all of our family can see and spend time with him before he goes. I love you Ty. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Everyday when you dress in your uniform, you make this family proud! We are going to miss you more than you will ever know, and we'll count the days till you get home!

TEETHING BITES!

HOW DOES THIS THING WORK?

Brolli Bro

Oh my sweet little Brolli! How fast they grow up! We waited 2 1/2 years for him and now he's going on 6 months old! He's eating cereal, fruits and veggies! He sits up almost by himself and loves to pull Braxies hair! What a cute boy you're growing up to be!
