3 years

Three wonderful years ago today... we became one. These have been the best three years of my life. We have had trying times, a big move away from all our friends & family but overall we have had the most wonderful times together.
I love you for loving me just as I am... the good, the bad & the oh so ugly:) You are unbelievably patient and understanding... you know just how to deal w/ me & my moods:) I love you more today than I did on our wedding day - I didn't think that was possible but somehow I do.
I thank you for being the best possible husband each & every day & I love watching you be the best daddy ever to Landon. You two make me the happiest lady in the world. I love you. Happy Anniversary babe! MWAHxxxx

The little man... and his diapers:)

Sleeping on mama



Hanging out for a photo shoot in the diaper...
So we are using cloth diapers & for anyone who may be considering them... they are FABULOUS!!! We love the bum genius diapers that we have & they are super easy to use. They also are adjustable so we only need these diapers from 7lbs to 35lbs & we're hoping to potty train when these start getting snug:) Therefor we are saving mega amounts of $$$$!! Not to mention they're a little bit on the green side, which we are trying harder to be lately... mainly because of this little one & his future on this planet!
Any way... we really do love them so if you're thinkin' about it... they are definitely worth looking into.
It's a little more laundry ... but his clothes create a LOT more laundry so it's really not that big of a deal!! & NO LEAKS... he has never leaked through these diapers like he would leak through a disposable. (which i would still use during the newborn phase since they go through a ridiculous amount of diapers in a day)

OK OK... I'm off the soapbox... but we are just sooo happy & pleasantly surprised @ how easy the cloth diapers are that I thought I'd share w/ you all:)

Pictures...

Here are some pics of what we've been up to lately. We took Landon to the Lake yesterday when the temp. finally hit 80... it was about 90 by the time we got there so we sooo wanted to get wet. Lando did not love the water but he did love hanging out w/ daddy:) & of course a naked baby shot... tell me he doesn't have the cutest little butt:)

Up & Coming Events

It seems as though the summer has flown by (not that we really had a SUMMER not in my terms any way... when the temp doesn't get above 75... it aint summer) and we have some fall plans that are fast approaching.
So a while back Luke wrote a short story for a little Coast Guard writing contest... & low & behold he won (what a smarty pants I have). So the prize was $500 ... and then we found out that we also won tickets to the Coast Guard Ball in Seattle this September. So we're really excited... we get a free room in the hotel too... so we're spending the night & my cousin & his wife - who live in Seattle- are planning on watching the little one so Luke & I can have a few hours out alone:) Sooo fun. So I need to buy a dress!!! AHHHHH! I haven't bought a real dress dress since my junior prom (I ended up borrowing for the senior prom) that was.... hmmm A LOT of years ago:)
We also have another Seattle adventure the last week in August when we go to the Coast Guard station for the award ceremony - another night over in Seattle courtesy of the Coast Guard!! Yeay... civilization!!!
Then our BIG trip is to San Diago in October... my parents are flying us in so we can all visit Davin... all be together for the 1st time in over a year:) I can't wait to see the bro. & have Landon meet his uncle!!! I miss him sooo much!!! I can't wait!!! So I will keep you posted on all the travel plans as well as the plain ol' day to day:)

Our little Rock Star:)







The update... Landon is now a little over 2 months. I can't believe it... it has gone by too fast. The other day we put him in one of his newborn outfits & it was SNUG:( He's not a new baby any more... he's already a little boy... I can't stand it.
His 2 month appointment was this past friday & our big boy is really a big boy... he is up to 12lb. 2 oz. & he's 23" long now!
He got 3 shots & he took them like a champ... I can't say the same for me:( I felt his pain.
The Doctor was very happy w/ his development & everything seems to be normal!

Landon
