Thanksgiving come and gone

I can't believe December is almost here. That means my Hubby will be home soon YEAH!!! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my Mom's house every one was here except Phillip, Michelle and of course Brandon. Here are a few pictures of me and Addie enjoying Turkey day.

The Sunday before Thanksgiving we had a play date with Kutter and Dax. We played Star Wars outside, we blew bubbles, and had a blast in the toy room. Thanks Karee and Bryan for a great day.

I love this picture, Dax still kisses with open mouth, so Addie decided to kiss open mouthed. It was so cute.

We sent our last package to Brandon, and Addie wanted to paint him a picture. I do this in the tub to avoid stress and headache on my part. Addie loves to paint.

Happy 5th Anniversary

Yesterday was me and Brandon's 5th Anniversary, and it is the 2nd year that we were not together for it. Brandon, like always, made it special. Since wood is the traditional gift, he got me 3 beautiful bamboo bracelet's. He also arranged for my Dad to take me to the Tuscany for a great meal, and he ended the day with a bouquet of flowers and a phone call. I sent him a compass in a mahogany wood box and I engraved it (not much else I could do for him over there) I just wanted to give a shout out to my wonderful husband, Thank you for a wonderful five years, I look forward to many more. You are my best friend, and I can't imagine life with out you.

I Love and miss you. Please come home safe.

I love free babysitters!

It's so nice to be home. Not only because I get to see my friends and family, but I have free babysitting YEAH!!! This Friday I went to dinner with the girls. We were there for 2 hours just talking and laughing, and of course we were all child free (Thanks Mom, Chantelle, and Andrea).

Saturday we went to the Christmas show in Salt Lake. We had a great time and found some wonderful gifts. Addyson got to see Santa, and made a Christmas picture for her Dad. It was a great weekend.

The other great thing about being in Utah is shopping. These are two of the many new outfits I got for Addie.

Hair cut

I've been in Utah for 6 days now and it's been a lot of fun. I went to a play date on Monday with the girls and we are planning a girls night out for tomorrow. I love having free babysitting. Addy was due for a hair cut her mullet was getting out of control. Grandma Susan cut it today. Addie was such a good girl. I also have some pictures of her in her new snow coat and hat. She looks so big.

Brandon is doing well just plugging along, he is getting excited to spend Christmas with his girls. We are counting down the days for his safe return.

Happy Halloween

Well Halloween has come and gone, and we had a great time. In the morning Addyson's day care had a costume parade. She was a bit scared with all the kids and parents, so most of the pictures she is trying to hide between my legs or have me pick her up. Here are a few good ones.

That night we went trick or treating. Addie was so cute. After the 5th house she figured out what to do. She would walk up to the door and knock then when they opened the door she said "Hi, Hi, Hi' It was so cute. The only problem was she wanted to hold all of the candy. She didn't want it in her bucket. We went with some of our friends who live on base. We had a great time. Here are some pictures.
