Almost Home!

I can't believe it, it's almost here. Regan will be heading home soon! He's officially begun to clear and so far is on track to be home on June 6th! That night we will head straight to El Paso from Tucson because my cousin Kaile's high school graduation is the next morning. It will be a long night, of that I'm sure. We wouldn't miss it though. While there we will get to see some cousins, my Grammie, a couple aunts and uncles, and of course Chloe and hopefully Aaron. Aaron is in the field a lot, but just got promoted so I told him to get that weekend off. Like they will care, lol!

It's gonna' be here before we know it.

Wait, potty what? ... Potty trained?

My little man went to daycare in underwear last Tuesday. That was his first time. Which made today his fifth day. Today also happened to be the first day he didn't have an accident at school. He left in blue undies and came home in the same blue undies!!!

I AM SO PROUD! Whenever he does good at daycare, especially with potty training and being nice to friends, I tell him how proud I am and how he makes me so happy. We give a bunch of high-fives and a bunch of hugs... he asks me if I'm "So happy? You so happy mommy?" I tell him that I am SO HAPPY and he just smiles back at me and chuckles.

I love my little guy more and more everyday. It's just amazing to see what they take from you and how they express their love for you right back.

Letters to Juliet

My mom and I had been planning to see it since we first saw the preview for it. I have to admit, it was as good as I thought it was going to be. At the same time though, I was almost hoping it would exceed my expectations... Weird, I know, because I really did like it. One thing that did surprise me is that I didn't think I would cry, and I did. I wasn't weeping or anything, but I did have a somewhat steady flow of tears for a few minutes. If you were thinking of seeing it, I say see it. You will enjoy it!

Pizza Time!

We bought some really cool pizza crusts from Costco yesterday. Skylar had tried a sample and asked for more, so I figured I may as well buy them and we can make a pizza together. We made one for dinner tonight. I knew I had a few things to use for toppings at home, so I just chopped up some sliced pineapple and some of the turkey sausage patties we had in the fridge.

We got everything set up and Skylar was ready to go.


I heard him say "yum" right before we started and when I looked closer I realized he was hungry and liked the crust!


He recognized the sausage and had to try some of that too!


After he was done with a few samples we started to top the pizza...








He stopped while topping the pizza for a couple more samples...








Ready to go into the oven!


This is how it turned out! If you think it looks good believe me when I tell you it tasted amazing!

Little Cowboy

We were at Kohl's yesterday waiting for Meghan's flight to get in. Aaron follows Skylar up to my mom and I. Skylar is wearing a pair of Toy Story boots that light up. He is enamored with these boots, jumping up and down, telling us "there's a snake in my boots!" Of course I ended up buying them.

This is him at lunch. We went to Claim Jumper, needless to say he didn't eat anything.


These are a few pictures from today. We had just got home, he climbed out of the car and helped me check the mail. I love how the bottom of the boot says ANDY!





Of course I had to buy some kind of shirt or something to match the boots. I found this one at Old Navy!

Hurrican Simulator with Uncle Aaron

My brother is in town this weekend, for a couple of reasons. Other than just to visit Meghan gets home from college tomorrow and it's our mom's birthday on Monday. Today we went to the mall, and strolled around before we went to see How to Train Your Dragon. For the record, this was my seventh time seeing it! I saw it once with Regan, once with Aaron and Skylar, and five times with just Skylar. Whew! It's a good thing that I love it! Anyway here's a clip of Aaron and Skylar in the hurrican simulator!



This is just a couple shots of the boys roaming around the mall.

Sorting Clothes

I actually did it. I went through all of Skylar's old clothes. I separated them into five piles: one for Rachel, one for Lyndi, one for Karen, one for me, and one for donation. Yikes! It was hard but super worth it. I was going through them and remembering him in all the little outfits. There were also a bunch of pajamas, onesies, shorts, and overalls that a girl could wear.... Wishful thinking I guess!
