A Walk in the Park


Well more like a walk in my living room...
My 10 month old son is walking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is very exciting and I'm so happy for him. He is developing so well. I'm not exactly ready to be chasing him everywhere, but hey its a major milestone in my son's life... All I can be is HAPPY right now!!!! And maybe a little sad because he's growing up way too fast! Everyday he seems more and more like a little boy and less like a baby. I can't even believe 10 months ago I gave birth to this wonderful baby boy... He's perfect in every way! :)

Happy Veterans Day!

I want to say thank you to all who have served our country and who are currently serving! Thank you for putting your lives on the line for me and my family!

I want to send a special shot out to my husband, Ryan, who is in the Army. Thank you baby for protecting not just our family, but everyone else in the U.S. You are my hero and I am so proud of you! You have setting such a good example for our son. I hope he grows up to be just like you! I love you baby! xoxo

My view

This is my view everyday!!!!! =]
My son and his tongue! haha O.M.G. I love it!
It's his new thing... if you stick yours out he cracks up!!!

So the other day Hubby bought me an external hard drive! YES! So I can back up all my important stuff!!!! LIKE MY PHOTOS!!!!!! Now I can probably wipe my computer out and restart everything since my comp is like a piece of junk! There's something seriously wrong with it! Now I feel alot better though. I don't have to worry about my comp crashing and my photos and important documents disappearing!!! Thank the good Lord for putting it in our budget!!! :)
Love you Jesus!!! xoxo
