Goodbye for Now

We just wanted to say goodbye to all of our new friends in AL. We have had such a great year here and have met so many great people. It has felt like a little peice of Utah for us because so many of the pilots are from UT! It has been fun to go into their houses and see all the things that remind me of Utah (like signs and vinyl and crafty things) We will really miss the laid back life we have been able to enjoy here and all the time Rob has had to spend with us. It has been a great year and we wanted to let you all know we will miss you and to keep in touch- maybe we will see eachother again down the road!

Saying Goodbye

This weekend we were able to take a trek to Buford, GA for one last visit with The Pettengils our close family friends. Rob has known them since college. We also considered it a test run for our 800 plus mile drive to VA this weekend. We had a great time with them and Austin did ok-- he loves that binki and loves even more to spit it out! Then on our way home we stopped for Asher's birthday party. I was so happy to get to see Valorie and her family one last time too- she is such a great friend and I am going to miss living only 2 hrs away from her- We love that family!

Visiting Family

We went to Montgomery to see the family one more time before moving and before Nichole deploys for 7 months. We were lucky to have Linda and Rob there (grandparents) too so we got to spend the day with them. we ate hibachi and played with the kids. We are going to miss living so close to them~

Growing baby

11 Weeks old

Austin is now 11 weeks old. He slept through the night for the first time last night. I guess it wasnt a solid sleep but he didnt need to be fed. I just had to give him his binki like 10 times. I think I didnt sleep well because I was listening to him to make sure he wasnt starving! He went from 8 pm to 6:30 this morning with no food! that is the longest for him so we are very proud!

I love nap time

Isn't this the cutest? I love how Austin looks when he sleeps. For some reason to me he looks fatter and older. He always moves his hands around his face and tries to suck his thumb or any other finger he can get. He has yet to figure it out though. Some times I wish he would figure it out so at 2 am he can sooth himself. I only think that at night when I am super tired though. I am thankful he loves the Binky and cant wait until he figures out how to keep it in at night:) He is a good baby!

6 Wonderful years!!

Well I can hardly believe it has been 6 years. What a crazy life we have had so far:) Rob and I figured that for the first 5 years of our marriage he was gone for at least 3 of them with his training and 2 tours in Iraq. We survived the deployments and have had such a great year here in AL together- plus we are blessed with 2 beautiful boys that bring so much to our lives. We are so lucky to have such a great family and look forward to many more years together.

Little Helper

I did this to Rob when he was little and thought it ould be funny to do it to Austin! I dont think rob was as young because it made Austin really mad:) It was cute though!
