Little update on our lives

So, James is currently gone. He's been gone since the 4th. He will be back next month. But last week we got some good news. James got his orders! Well, he doesnt have the offical copy yet but the detailer said that he submitted it and that he will have them in hand within the next few days!!! Looks like we will be leaving the state of Washington on August 21st. More to come later!
Saturday night we took our fire pit over to the neighbors and had smores. The dogs love playing in the neighbors yard since its much bigger. Sadie did pretty well and stayed calm. Sierra hurt her toe when she ran into the lid to our fire pit. Her toe looks bad. We eneded up having to take her to the emergency room last night because it was infected. They have her on antibiotics so hopefully that will help! The weather has been beautiful lately. Well, except for today. I am glad to see the warmer weather.

Sunday we are going to Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. I am sure I will come back with tons of pictures!!

Sierra's doing well. Less than a month left in school! Her recital is on the 19th of June. She is looking forward to that. She has 7 dances that she will be in at the recital. We fly out for her national dance competition on the 28th of June. She's excited to go to Disneyworld since she's never been there. James hasnt either. We will be there until the 7th of July.

Sadie got Lei'd


Mojo

It's a......

Girl!!! Addison Marie! We had our ultrasound on monday. James and Sierra got to come. I think Sierra got a little bored during it but it went great. Tuesday James left yet again. He wont be back until next month. I had my doctor appointment today. Blood pressure was 92/57. Addy didnt want to smile for the camera so they didnt get very good shots. She kept chewing on her hand... I think she did it almost the entire hour. lol

Life

Life has been slightly crazy. James has not been home much due to pre-deployment work-ups. But there is an end in sight! Hopefully we weill be getting hard copy orders soon and get some questions answered (like, when are we moving!).

Sierra has her last regional dance compettion on Saturday & Sunday. She is excited and she can't wait until Nationals in Florida this summer! We leave in 63 days for our 9-day trip to walt disney world! Whoo hoo! We are super excited.

Anyway, we find out on the third if we are having a little boy or a little girl!

Baby!

I haven't posted on here because I didn't want a lasting memory if something went wrong. But with the ultrasound four weeks ago and hearing the hearbeat two days ago I can finally announce Sierra is going to be a big sister! I am due at the end of September.

This ultrasound is from February 11th.

Annviersary

Today is our 9th Anniversary! It's hard to believe it's already been 9 years. We also got the news yesterday that James finally has orders again to leave Washington. It looks like we will be moving to Oceanside, Ca sometime this year. Hopefully we will know soon exactly when. I am very excited about this. There is a lot to do in southern California and the weather is much nicer down there then it is up here. I can't wait to go to the beach.

Dog Park!

We went to the local dog park today. It was a beautiful day today. It was pretty warm for this time of year.. I think it was about 56 degrees. The dog park was an off leash dog park and Sadie and Mojo loved it. There was a lot of big dogs there and they were pretty interested in Sadie and Mojo. Of course Sadie and Mojo wanted nothing to do with them! lol.

Sierra is 8!

Today was Sierra's birthday party! She had a lot of fun! It was a pool party at the local high school's pool. We had a good turn out of friends. It's hard to believe my little girl is eight.

Eight years ago. She was born February 12th, 2002 weighing in at 6lbs 10oz.





Here are a few pictures from the party, there is a more at the link to the right.

Update on us...

Sorry I havent posted. I have been super busy with school, work and family. Sierra had her first dance competition this past weekend. The dance she was in won 1st place high point, platinum and most entertaining. She had a blast and was excited she did well.

Other than that not much new to report. We are less than a month away from Sierra turning 8. I still can't believe she's going to be 8!

The weather has been nice. The sun has actucally been out. I wish I would have tried to get some pictures done today. I have just had no energy on my day off lately.

HAPPY 2009!!!!

On Monday our lives become crazy again. Sierra goes back to school and dance. I start school again. This time I will be going to the school 2 days a week. Fun. I've had the last three days off of work and I've enjoyed some relaxation. I am definately ready to go back to work though :)
