~ Bestest Buddies ~

It is alot of fun watching my kids while they are sitting together on the couch. Today Myllie was showing Ethan how to draw things on the Doodle Pad.
I don't know exactly what Myllie is doing here....but this was a cute picture. They are such good kids and get along well together. Since Scott has been gone, they have been very big helpers. I know that is is hard on them having Scott gone. Ethan keeps asking for "Daddy" it breaks my heart that I have to tell him that Daddy is gone for a little while. Ethan now says "Daddy Go?" and hold is hands up in question. It is really cute but sad at the same time. Myllie understands what is going on, but misses Scott like crazy. He calls throughout the day and we call him right before bedtime so the kids can say goodnight. Ethan is amazed by my cell phone. He looks at it like "How is Daddy in the phone?" It is really funny. We can't wait for him to come home!!
Myllie being cute...She loves smiling for the camera. Our little Smilie Myllie.
Ethan getting tired......He loves falling asleep on the couch. Myllie and Ethan are "Bestest Buddies" (as Myllie says) I know I am just biased, but I think I have very cute kids!! I feel very blessed to be their Mommy. I am so grateful for Scott and the life we have together with our wonderful kids!!

Crappy Night

Well last night was probably the worst night's sleep I have had in quite awhile. Scott has gone TDY for a month. Like most wives, I have a hard time sleeping when my hubby isn't right next to me. I am glad he will only be gone for a month, and he didn't go far. He has gone down to Hill AFB in Layton, Utah. So the first night apart was ruff!! The kids were upset not having Daddy tuck them in too. This will probably be the last time Scott has to go anywhere for the rest of the time we are in the military. We are getting out this December!! YEAH!!!! I can't wait! We are so excited. It will be so nice to be living back in Utah (Home). This next month is going to be hard but Scott and I can handle it. We have been apart for alot longer before. I think it will be the hardest on the kids. They are old enough to remember now. Ethan already keeps asking for Daddy. Myllie knows that Daddy had to go to another AFB base for work. It is alot easier to explain it to Myllie....LOL. Well we miss Scott already and can't wait for him to come home!!

* New Day Care Kids *

I have some new Day Care kids. They are so cute and are pretty good kids. The Day Care has been really good for Scott and I. We have been able to pay off quite a bit of debt. It has it's days, but all in all it is nice to be able to help bring in money and still stay home with my kids. These kids that are apart of my Day Care have truly blessed my life more than I thought they would. It has truly been one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever had.
It was amazing that I got so many of them to look at me! Some even Smiled!

This is Ryan. He has been apart of my Day Care since I started. He is such a cutie and is so sweet. We have alot of fun together, he is my little buddy. This is Jessina. She has been with me for about 5 months. She is a handful but in a good way. She definitely can be stubborn but she is really adorable and always has a baby doll with her. She likes to wave Bye-Bye!

This is Aaliyah. She has been with me since the beginning of February. She is so cute and the sweetest little girl. She is always so happy and full of smiles.

This is Ahshaunah. She has only been apart of my Day Care for a few weeks. She is hilarious and a little bit of a diva. She is the same age as Myllie so they have a blast together all day. She will also be starting Kindergarten with Myllie in the fall. Ahshaunah and Myllie are best friends.These kids are alot of fun and we have a blast all day long!! Even though I have days when I want to pull my hair out, I believe that I have the best job ever.

Boondocks

This last weekend we took the kids to Boondocks. It was the first time we have ever been there. We had so much fun. We started off our little Family Fun Day with Miniature Golf. Myllie and Ethan had so much fun. Myllie was so cute and funny about the whole thing, it was fun to watch her try and hit the ball. Ethan didn't really know what he was doing but he had a blast carrying the golf club and trying to hit the ball. He also had to wear his sunglasses just like his Daddy. Scott showing Myllie how to Golf.

Scott showing Ethan how to Golf.

We all had alot of fun. Ethan got a little tired half way through the game but in the end he was having fun again. After our miniature golf game, Myllie wanted to ride in the Go Karts. She was still to little to drive the car so Scott went with her. They had a BLAST!!! It was fun to watch Myllie. She was so excited to ride in the Go Karts. They stood in line for a little bit watching all the cars. I know that Scott was excited too. He enjoys being a little kid at times too. It was fun to watch their race. Ready....Set....Go...... They had alot of fun and they would wave to me and Ethan every time they went by. Ethan wasn't big enough to ride in the Go Karts. He wanted to go so bad, and was very upset. But he would wave when he saw Scott and Myllie. He was small enough to fit through the bars. At one point I looked down and he was on the other side. From that point on I held him during the races. He loves cars and wanted to ride in them too. After the race we went inside and let the kids play games. They love putting the tokens in and receiving tickets. They had alot of fun. By the end of the day they were worn out. We had such a fun time and will definitely go back again.

Movie Buddies

Ethan has a new movie buddy. The last few days he has wanted to have is teddy with him while watching a movie. He started this all on his own. I told Ethan he could watch a movie and he ran in his room and got his teddy, came out sat on the couch and put teddy right next to him. When I saw it I thought it was cute and I wished I would have taken a picture. Luckily he did it again the next day so I got my pictures... hehe. Ethan makes sure teddy has to have part of the blanket too. They are watching "Finding Nemo" Ethan's new favorite. He wants to watch this movie everyday! We are already on our second copy of the movie because Myllie wore out the first one. It was her favorite too. He is so funny. I love this age when they start sitting down and watching movies. It is too cute.

~ Happy Anniversary ~

Today Scott and I have been married for 6 years. Time has really flown....It seems like just yesterday we began our lives together. Now we have two kids, have lived in another country, and have had some wonderful adventures. I can't imagine doing all those things with anyone else. Scott is an amazing man, he has truly blessed my life more than I will ever begin to express. He is my best friend!! He is the first person I want to talk to when I have good news and who I vent to when I have had a horrible day. He is my rock, my shoulder to cry on and my cheering section. He has been so supportive of my Day Care and helps out where ever he can. I remember the first thing I noticed when we met was his smile. He has a killer smile and can make me laugh at the drop of a hat. He has a great sense of humor. We have so much in common and love spending time together. We have come a long way together, we have made it through the deployments, tdy's, and living without family near by. Our marriage is stronger now than it has ever been. We have 2 of the most wonderful children, and enjoy spending as much time with them as we can. For our anniversary this year we went shopping, took the kids to the park, then came home and Scott made a fantastic steak dinner for us and grilled hot dogs for the kids. Even though we weren't alone we had a wonderful anniversary. He is my everything, and I will cherish him forever. I can honestly say that I am more in love with Scott now than I was 6 years ago. Scott I will Love You Forever, thank you for making the last 6 years so incredible. ~ Happy Anniversary ~
