WOW has it really been this long since i have written wheeewwhere did the time go!!

Hello to all, we are all wonderful here counting down these last days until Daddy comes home on 49 days left and i am soooooooooooo excited to finally be a family again woooo hooo!!

Tylie is growing so fast she weighs 20 pounds and such a sweet little baby she is talking alot more and loves to walk around just calling out Mommy all day lol! Alexis goes crazy when she switches to Alexis mode and yells LEXYYYYY lol its so cute she definately knows all the names of her sisters and her brother its way cute. She has 12 teeth nowand wondering where the heck the rest of them are lol. One thing i amloving is her blonde hair i totallyfinally got a blonde lol. It's not white blonde but sure is blonde and such a differance frommy other girls.

Arlee and Timber spend most days swimming in there little pool in the backyard they are little fish. Arlee starts kindergarten Sept 8th my little baby is already such a big girl i cant believe it!! Timberly is really bummed that she cant go with her but it will give Timber and Tylie time to connect just as Arlee and Timber did at there ages.

Ricky is well and growing like a weed he will be starting 4th grade which i am hesitant about because he is still quite behind and has some troubles in school alot of which haveing ADHD doesnt help he is doing lots of testing to figure out what exactally we can pin point that may be wrong. The next step is checking to see is he may have a slight Bipolar disorder which is smething we can totaly deal with. ts just lots of time and patience with Ricky along with Daddy being gone we all hope to see some improvements when Rick is finally home. 

Alexis just turned the big 14 and will be attending high school in September i cant believe my 1st born is off to high school. She is such a good kid OMG and has does wonders for me while Rick has been gone.This weekend we are have her a nightime LUAU party which she totally loves LUAU's its should be lots of fun.

I think thats about it for now the kids are in back i'll go out and get some pics and post them. I havea ton of pics to post but they are all on my sisters camera from our beach trip weekend so ill have her send me them.

check back in a few for some new pics!!

P.S Rick hope you enjoy the update lol I love you baby "Way Past Heaven" Not much longer honey!!

Well hello ,

Long time no write huh lol! We are all here and kickin its been a tough couple months but I am back and truckin through. I had a set back or 2 with some depression and a what seems to have been an anxiety attack, poor alexis had to call the ambulance one evening because I kept fainting. I am well now and feeling better, The stresses of Rick being gone have really set in its been a long 2 years and seeing that there is only about 4 months left I am getting so happy its almost to the end finally.

We moved again yep AGAIN lol! This time its was to a bigger and easier place for us. We are still in San Diego and love this new place. Rick was down for 2 daysthis past weekend that was a wonderful treat even though all we did was move all weekend it was still nice to his his handsome face before me. So now I am unpacking and getting us all ready for the upcoming time when daddy wil be home for good!

The kids are great and doing wonderful. Alexis is growing right before our eyes and maturing more and more daily eeeeekkkk its scary lol! Ricky is doin great and loves the outdoors playing basketball and tons of other boyish things boys do. Arlee is so excited to be starting Kindergarten she starts Sept 8th, I cant believe she wll be in school already time sure flies she is such a big girls now and the sweetestlittle thing. Timber is a ball of energy and keeps me on my toes she is hilarious! Tylie OMG what a sweetie pie she is 18 months almost 19 and just so much fun. She is talking quite a bit and says alot of words and even has a knack for temper tantrums lol. I cant belive soon I will be home with only 2 little ones when Arlee goes off to school wow its gonna be so wierd.

I cant think of anything else really but oh ya, a few weeks ago we made an emergency room visit for Timberly she had a pencil in hand and she got bumped and right up through the rof of her mouth it went OMG! Blood everywhere it was so scary I was covered she was cobered but what a little champ she was at the hospital, not one cry when she was examined not even when they opened the roof of her mouth which might i add was very nasty eeekk!! She is fine now and its just about all healed up. My poor baby that was so scary for us all, especially Rick when he called from Mississippi and found that we were at Emergency. So between that 2 floods in our other home and the rest of the craziness that goes on.... Hey we are hangin on pretty well now lol! Anyhow thats the news for now ive got a few pics ill update with and pln to take some more today of the new homs and such. Lots of love to you all!

Hi everyone! Wow well I did it again its been a little while since an update but wheeew its hard doing this Mommy thing alone omg 6 month left and I'm done!!

I took the kids to a wonderful lunch this weekend at Corvette Diner and it was somuch fun the kids had a good time! After that we drove to Mission Bay and I let the kids play most of the day, Then we took a nice drive to view the scenery in Point Loma it was such a wonderful day.

I'm gonna be getting ready to start plans for Timber's 3rd Birthday next month we will be doing it over Easter weekend so I'll most likely do an easter theme even though her Birthday is on the 20th it should all work out ok especially since we will be at my moms for the weekend it will be nice to have all the family together. yet another Birthday without Rick and he is bummed he cant be here he will also miss alexis and arlee's poor daddy! It's hard doing this all alone but hey by now I think i have it down.

Our 2 year mark living apart is coming up and I cant believe its been that long since we have had a all family routine including Daddy if I made it this far I can make it 6 more months.

The past couple weeks i have been up and down again and just love he has only has 6 months left but at the same time its very frustrating and has caused some silly arguments back and forth its very stressful on the both of us. I know its right around the coner that this will all end but it just seems so long already that the end just doesnt seem close enough ughhh does that make sense? I hope and praying never have to do this again I do not with this seperation on anyone ughhh!

Anyhow I think thats really it, I have stepped up my game a little more and have gotton a really great schedule down here at the house. So ill be having some more outing with thekdis especially since the wheather is getting so nice. I believe thats it for now everyone

Lots of love

OMG hello wow its been about  month since i have updated wow i am really slacking lol! How have you all been? Here we have been busy busy as usual. The kids are wonderful and growing daily.

This weekend we get to see Daddy, and i myself am sooooooo excited! We are taking a trip alone to Vegas on Friday and staying for 3 whole nights Alone!! And it is much needed. This is his last trip home until aout October so it will be nice to have him home but at the same time very sad that we wont have him for almot 8 months! This is gonna be a long 8 months i can just feel it. I guess its at least to see and end to this madness though thats the only good way i can look at it.

Hmmm lets see what else is new just the same ol same ol i guess well actually if i can add this without making it a huge announcement and totally be private enough for my daughter lol lol! My Alexis is a little woman now eeek is that too much to say on here lol! All you girls should know what i am talking about lol hee hee. Yes she is growing up so fast and what a moment that was when se told me. Although she had been told about her body and its changes it would make as she grew it was a very scarytime for her and at the same time a great moment for us to share. I sware it seems like yesterday when i held her in my arms for the first time wow they sure grow fast i just cant believe it. She is such a wonderful daughter and has been amazing in helping me without Rick here.

We got a new puppy not to long ago and the kids named him Cookie he is such a swee doggie and so great with the kids. he is 3 months old now he is a poodle mix and so funny looking lol!

I know i promised pics an i will promie again i di find my camera thank goodness so you should see some in the next day or so pleasehang in there ha ha. I'll also be getting tons of pics in Vegas did i mention how TOTALLY EXCITED I AM lol! Oh ya and guess what Christy Music will be there as well i will actually get to meet here and am ver excited about that as well, so i am looking foward to that as well. Hmm i think thats about it for now as i mustrun it seem we are having a major ourbreakin the front room somthing about sharing lol! Lots of love to you all and Happy Valentines Day!!

Extra Extra!!!!!!!!!

Tylie is WALKING!!!!

Wow its been a while since i have updated eeeekkk! Happy New Year to all! Is been rediculous around here and i still cant seem to get better. Well first to the good news Tylie is walking and finally lol, she has been taking steps for about a month and half now but now FINALLY just chooses walking only so thats so awesome but on the other hand very sad that we have our baby girl not so much a baby anymore. Tylie is so much fun and just the sweetest little thing ever, sheloves to talk and make the silliest noises still its so funny.

So back to myself i have been sick for about a month now and ts always somthing new between taking care of a puking house about a month and half agao myself included we all seemed to get better. Then a few weeks after colds went around which hit me hard, body ches and all Daddy was able to come home to see us for a few days and was here with us at Christmas and that was so wonderful i just wsh he was able to stay longer. The dayi Took him to the sirport which was the 29th of Dec it sarted all over again i was so sick!!! And it had to happen the day he left!! I was throwing up and barely even able to stand to take care of anything around here at all it was awful! I fiannly got some strength about 3 days later and was able to push myself full force back into  the grind. Not so much though i came down with strep then ughhh and from there after antibotics then and awful runny nose and a cough that just would not go away! Today i have the worst sinus infection which i am hoping is the end of this. I am taking antibiotics and it doesnt seem to be doing a thing i feel awful still. The kids dont seem to be affected thank goodness. So i am trying to get back onto the mommy train and get some energy the kids are still out of school ntil the 20th which is good because i still need some recovery and its not full swing aroud here just yet thank Goodness lol!

Rick will be home for it looks like maybe one more visit andthe time is drawing near to where its alot harder that i thought. He gets most likely one more visit for about 5 days and thn he wont return until August 2009 thats the projected time now. So ill be doing he long countdown and praying it goes fast 7 to 8 months is so long we will miss him so much! I hope and pray this is the last time we have to do this long of a speration its been about 20 months now and every month that passes i get more upset that we have been so seperated. Whe Rick was home at Christmas it was very sad thet Tylie would not even give him a moment she was so scared of him and it really upset Rick that he could not even hold her at all. I pray that things will be an easy transition when we are all back as a family again!

Friday the kids finally get pictures done and i am so excited!! I really need to get back into the groove with tha its just so hard doing it alone with the 5 lol with sports coming up and Arlee will be starting dance i will be one busy mama!

It gets crazier around here and i have so much more to talk about ill it down later and get some more writing time in but as of now i have some hungry bellies to feed lol! Lots of love to you all

Good morning all,

Just a qucik update on Tylie she has a couple new words for a total of her words now are ( MaMa DaDa, BaBa, Hi, Arlee,Ricky, and yaay) she says Arlee, and Ricky and its sooooo cute. She also loves to clap her hands and say Yaaayyyy!! I took some video of her last noght ill get up she is so much fun. She is taking 2 and 3 steps at a time now and am hoping she will hold off the total walkig untill Daddy can come home. We are hoping he will be able to come home a few days before Christmas the big bummer is he will only spend a few short days here i he does but i guess i cant complain. I really was hoping he would be here to ring in the New Year as we missed last year together too. I cant believe its been 18 months already we have been doing this but its gone by pretty qucikly. Soon enough this will all be over 9-10 months to go eeek wow thats seems long but i like to stay busy as it seems to make the days go quicker. I am looking forward to the next month I am hoping he will have a quick trip home in January and February after that we wont see him untill the ship pulls into San Diego which should be sometime Sept or Oct 2009. After this is all over it will be so nice. Anyhow thats realy the newest around here. I'll get some of that video up ad take some more pics today so keep an eye out. Talk to ya laters

We are still waiting on word from daddy and weather he will be in or not with us he is on a ship at the moment and there isno email so we wont know anything until right before ughhh I hate that. So on we roll and ill get Christmas shopping done and all the rest of the things that I am falling behind on as well haha. Tonight we are making Christmas cokies and watching Christmas movies. Yesterday as well as a few days ago I took the kids to see Christmas lights and that was alot of fun. We ade a Gingerbread house that can I add is COMPLETELY gone already hahah.. yes my 2 years old and 4 year old who will remain nameless lol decided to take and early munch at it and alog the other kids followed lol see what happens even if I turn for a moments time haha.

Hi all jus updating quickly while i have a free moment since i am so slammed and kind of in one of my little ruts again! I hate when Rick leaves Ughh! Anyhow Halloween was fun the kids had a blast and i have some pics on my other computer that crashed that ill try to get off of somehow. I got a few pics of Tylie up with her Bday cupcakes she LOVED tham lol! Daddy was here for a few days and we loved every minute of it. We tried on a few occasions to get to have some family pictures done but just ran into No Time all the time! He worked the whole time he was here so that was a drag. I feel just awful on how much i have slacked in the picture department but its so hard getting 5 kids alone to a portrait studio ugh and i have made a few attempts it just did not work out. So i will have to grin and bare it in the next week and at least get the kiddos and Tylie's first year pics done. Another thing i have really been so bad with we have only had one visit with her in the studio my poor Tylie but i do have many pics so hey at least i have those! I promise the next year i will get back into the habit or as soon as i can catch up on all the craziness wheeew! As fas as everything else here i think i am having a rough adjustment or getting used to the fact that Rick wont be with us for quite some time but guess ill get used to things as it rolls along. I know i say it often but OMG the last 17 months have been long and rough! Sometime for sure we will be together Fall of 2009 and hopefully no interuptions after that. Anyhow i do have a few pics from our weekend here we had a small Halloween party with some friends it was so much fun too! Hmm Oh Tylie is still not walking but is making every attempt to she is so much fun! I guess thats it for now i hear some kids arguing so i must go find out what is going on! I'll update with out date for studio pics as well as post some more pics .

P.S Go baby Meester come on we are all waitin on you!! Come on Emilia!!!

Lots of Love,

Jamie

My sweet Tylie, A year ago today we were blessed with such a beautiful gift from above, Your life began as a rough little road but you have proved to be so much more than any blessing we could ever ask for. Your daddy and i look forward to the years ahead with you as you grow into your own person and achieve all of the great things that you aspire in life. We love you more than words could ever tell and we are so happy God gave us you! Happy Birthday sweet Ty Bears.

Mommy & Daddy

We love you way past heaven!

First of to comment on Julie Torreslunna's comments about the economy oh boy I hear ya girlie i think this year it will be wonderful that many families can take advantage of what Christmas is really about, and hey its the little things that mean most! My family had struggled in the stock market and many other places but support from friends and family is what gets us all through it! My prayers to everyone as well.

Well newest of all new we found out that daddys home visits stop as of March and then we will have a mush dreaded 6 to 8 months seperation then he will come home with the new ship and we will prepare for him to do a deployment with the ship ughhh. I do feel as if i am losing my grip most days but have to be strong for the kiddos. This is BY FAR the hardest we have endured yet! We can do this its just gonna be a Loun Haul! I love you my Prince and the days that pass are days closer to us being together!

Good news is Timber is finally potty trained and lets hope we stay that way lol! We did get her all set a few months ago but i slacked on it and she reverted back. The past 3 days she has went to bed in underwear and No accidents at all so that i believe was the final test wooo hooo!

Good news is dady will be here again on the 29th and i will savor every moment the next return will be hopefully at Christmas which will most likely be one of his last trips back here until all the visits stop. Tylie's Birthday we will do when he is here which i am grateful he will be here for guess i just have to look at some of the good things of him and the timing of homecomings. Anyhow i believe thats all for now i gtta gets these kids lunch and get some me time while they nap lol!

Lots of love,

Marchin on!

Well good news is Rick was ablr to come home after all, he was only here a few short days but i was glad he could be here. I know it seems as if i am complaining all the time but every visit gets harder and harder i must say i would totally rather be doing a deployment and just get it all out of the way at once. It breaks my heart to see him with Tylie and trying to create a bond she really doesnt seem to know him at all and takes a while to adjust. I must say this is one f the toughest things we have ever had to do in our almost 14 years of marriage and i can only pray that the best things will come about. I miss you dearly Rick i just want to be whole again!

Luckily i do have the kids here to push me on and keep me busy but there is nothing like having your spouse come home to you nightly i sure miss that!

Anyhow other than that we did try to make it to the pumpkin patch when he was here but when he visits its not really family time he is just here working so there really was no time to get out and do the pumpkin thing. This week i am gonna take the kids to a pumpkin farm and get them all set up, it should be lots of fun.

We are on the countdown to Tylie's first Bday i dont think i will have a big party but raher somthing along the lines of family especially since she doesnt realize it is even her Birthday lol!

Christmas shopping is on and i'll be starting that next week I love the begining of the Holidays. I hope you are all well and smiling big. I promise to get some pics up soon and i have some videos i am working on so watch for those , ya i know i mention them alot but hey.... I am one busy Mommy lol!

Hello everyone! Can you believe September is almost over? Next month our sweet Tylie will be one year old already wow where did the time go?

Tylie took 2 steps the other day and makes more attemts almost daily, she is such a sweet little girl and so much fun. she has 5 teeth now and looks like a little pumpkin. i will be sure to get some video up of her and the girls playing so keep watch for that.

We have been sick around here and let me tell you i have had it the worst ughhhh its been 4 long yucky days now of body aches sneezing, headaches, and OMG how much gunk can one nose make lol i sware i am gonna blow somthing out i really need. Alexis was really sick the other night throwing up, i am thinking it may have been somthing she ate because none of us were throwing up but her, poor thing.

The kids are doing well in school and Ricky is doing fabulous! I think i may have mentioned he did go ahead and go on to the 3rd gradehim and a few other students have a special program they are using with them just to boost them along and wow can i tell you how much beter he is doing already!! I am so proud of you Baby Boy!

We miss daddy and i have gone through my ups and downs with sadness ,anger, and overall being lonely for him. I hate living as a seperated family and we still have a year of this left ughhh! Sorry if i soundlike i am whining but wow i sure miss being together. His visits home just arent enough time to catch up with the kids and even ourselves. I am praying this next year can fly by and soon enough we will unite as one again! e will be home for 4 days Oct 9th and i am praying he will be here for Tylie's 1st birthday as of now things arent looking to good but i am can only hope!

Hmm lets see what else is going on here, overall i am excited we are upon the holidays and let me tell ya they are fast approaching. I have made a cute costume for Tylie and i'll try to get some pics of it up today depending on if she sits still long enough for me to get a picture lol!

I think thats about it for now nothing else to report. Hope your all well in BHP land and a BIG thanks to Eric of BHP for always hearing our ideas and helping us to make the best baby/family website around!

Lots of love, Jamie

We howdy al! I know its been a while since and update once again lol. We have been trucking along and best news of all Daddy has been home with us since August 28th he was supposed to return home on the 2nd of septemeber but due to the hurricane Gustav he is still with us and looks as if he will be through the next weekend due to hurricane Ike. I pray for all those who are there and feel blessed that daddy can be here safe with us. he was supoosed to have a return vivit sept 11 to the 28th but seeing they really need him back there ASAP he needs to return as soon as it is safe, so they have cancelled his next visit:( at least he is with us now.

Ricky started school as well as Alexis and Ricky did go along to the 3rd grade it seems as there is a special program for Ricky and 5 other students in his class who are having a hard time in reading so thats the reason they moved him along. They have started a wonderful support system for him and we are very hopeful he will get that extra boost he needs to catch right back up.

Alexis is loving school as usual (social butterfly) and is thrilled to be a big 8th grader now. She does so well in school and always has.

Arlee's 4th Birthday is saturday and i do believe we will be having her Birthday party that day as well. She is soooooo eaxcited and cant stop talking about her party, she insists on having a backyardigans party so it looks as if i will be making a cake for her and buying up some cute decorations to make her little dream come true!

Timber is just about done with potty training and does so well most days with just underwear, we still have an accident now and again but hey its alright. She is just a sweetie and growing up so fast.

Tylie Oh gosh this little sweetie is just so much fun and she got her 2 top teeth on Sept 7th so now that totals 4 teeth wooo hoo! I cant believe Oct 25th she will already be 1 year old wow where does the time go? She is walking around things and i am hopful she will be on her way to walking in the next month or so but hey no rush right! I just hate that they grow up so darn fast.

Other than all that we have just been hanging out getting some things organzied around the house and just being a family which we LOVE!!

Lots of love to you all I Promise to update often and stay tuned i will get some more pics up real soon!

Wow has it really been a month since my last story ? Where did the time go ?

The kids are all great and we have just been hangin here in San Diego Daddy is coming home for a couple days which we love and ughhh I cant say it enough how much I hate this living apart thing! News on him being gone just gets worse and worse now he is bak to being ours March 2010 and I am so frustrated. He barely knows sweet Tylie and I know how much it hurst that he sees her growing up in pictures. I will just keep praying that somehow someway somthing will change and we can have him back!

Newest news Tylie got her first 2 teeth and on the bottom they can in Aug 15 shis the earliest of my kiddos getting teeth at this age usually they were all about 1 months and wow Arlee as I have mentioned before was 18 months before her first tooth came in. I cant believe she will be a year only in only 2 months. She is 10 months old on the 25th wow has time gone so fast! she is such a sweet little thing and loves to cuddle she is also a little vaccum everything goes in the mouth. she is tryng now to let go and stand on her own which if she starts walking she will also be my earliest walker. She also loves to climb onto things and gets real upset when she realizes she cant get back down lol. stairs mostly ha ha. her words still only consist of Ba Ba, Ma Ma, Da da, Hi, and also waves Hi too. her hair still is a mystery to me and I am really hoping it will stay light. In the sun the new hair she has is BLONDE and OMG yay for me I want a blonde kiddo sooooooo bad so I am keep my fingers crossed. Her eyes i believe will be a greenish color of some sort but who knows I think they may change a bit more.

The other kids are great Arlee is so very excited to be planning her 4th Birthday party with Mommy and wants to do it Backyardigans style, so ill be doing somthing pretty darn cute I cant wait I love parties for the kids.

Speaking of Birthdays Alexis Birthday was July 26th and we did have a Bday party for her when her dad was home last just her and some friends for a sleepover. Daddy got her a new promise ring and its soooooo pretty!On the inside of her rings it reads "My Daughter, My Love". She was so cute when she oped it and tearded up quite a bit as did I. So yes my 1st born is a teen now ahhhhh! The big 13 lol.

As for Ricky well most of y ou dont know because i dont talk about it often but Ricky struggles quite a bit in school and alot is due to ADHD which I am sure came right from me his social butterfly mommy lol! Anyhow he also sees a therapist just to help him through times when Dad is not around. Its real tough for Ricky being the only boy and it breaks my heart knowing sports againi this year will be with Mom rather than showing off his great sport ability to Dad,. Well all in all Ricky will be repeating the second grade and I really hope this is a good decision on my part. We have had many talks about it and he seems to be in pretty good spirits about it. The need for him to repeat the 2nd grade is his reading skills and has drastically fallen behind 3rd grade will be so yough for Ricky that I am concerened he wont get the tools he needs in 3rd grade because he will be too busy catching up with things he fell behind in second grade. We have tried lots of training school programs so on and so forth and the schools seem to think that Ricky being in and out or 4 schools in just about a 1 year peiod was not good for him at all. At first the school did not want him to stay back because they say he is a bigger secind grader now and socialy it will hurt him!! Ok whats better being social or his education?  serious! So I am going through a pretty tough time feeling guilty as I may be hurting him but I am really praying tha this is the best thing to do.

Please give me strength God!

Be back later kiddos are callin

We are lucky enough to have him till the 20th but bummer thats the day before my Bday thats alright though guess we can celebrate it the weekend. Actually guess i am pretty used to the Military life and missing Bdays and many other celebrated days lol.

The kids are all great actually we just had a Birthday party for Alexis this weekend so that Daddy could be a part of it. She had a slumber party and all the girls had a blast. Her actualy Bday is the 26th so that was nice we could at least have daddy here for that. He got her a new promise ring and its sooooo beautiful she was so excited and it definately brought tears to a few eyes. I'll post a pic later today as well as a few others i took from her party.

Ahh yes to my sweet Tylie wow is she doing so much first off she has been on the go for about a month r so i think now and now is pulling herself up onto things to stand. She is loving baby food and wow is she a piggy. She still is a babbler when she is playing and loves to say MaMa and DaDa. She is such a great baby and wow what a sleepybug she is. Tday she slept till 10:30 am i had to keep going in to check and make sure she was ok lol. Guess all the heat really wears them out lol!

I think thats really about it for now, we hope to hit up Sea World while daddy is here since he missed out the times we went. We have been relaxing most of the time and just overall enjoying eachothers company. We have been busy around the house trying some reoganzing and getting rid of stuff that seems to always follow us in our moves ughhh ya know how that is.

So thats the haps really wish i had more exciting things to spill ha ha! Anyhow lots of love to you all , and Oh by the way i am soooooooo sorry for not leaving 4th of July messages i was just so thrilled daddy was home i didnt even look at the computer for days we all were in such ahhh with him here!

I'll get some new pics up later

Hi all real quick update. Things are well on the homefront finally. I was sooo sick as a matter of fact was laid up for 6 days with the worst case of strep throat ever along with that came body aches and a night of vomiting but i think thats because i was sooo hungry and the hunger pangs were making me sick to my stomach. Alexis helped me for a coupkle days but then had to leave to go to a weekend trip at her friends so i was on my own and managed but OMG it was awful! Anyhow i am better now thank goodness and thank goodness thekids didnt get it. Although Timber and Arlee did come down with little colds but nothing to bad.

Tylie Oh goodness this sweet little thing is just so good and the best little baby ever. Seems she has thinned out quite a bit and since she is al over the house  i am assuming thats why. She is into EVERYTHING lol and its so cute. She loves to chase around our new puppy Tobie which by the way is so much fun! Tylie is saying MaMa and DaDa only because i keep repeating it to her and i dont want my honey to feel as if he missed anything. She ate just about a whole jars of babyfood last night and is finally intrested in the food thing. My little baby is growing up too fast. She will be 8 months old in just 2 days can you believe that?

Alexis and Ricky are wonderful, Ricky doesnt get out of school until July 21st and Alexis i switched to a btter school which just got out for summer. So the bummer is Ricky will be on a year round schedule and Alexis will be on a traditiona but thats ok i guess ill have one of them with me at times off of the others schedule, and Ricky gets all the traditional holidays anyhow.

Arlee and Timber are just so funny and quite the pair, they keep eachother entertained daily, and most of the time play nicely but you know every now and then i find myself breaking up a fight or two lol!

We hit up Sea world again and had a blast , Tis time we were there at night and had a good 7 hours there. Even the day after they wanted to go back lol what have i started ha ha!

9 Days till Daddy and we are all so excited to see him yay!!! This time we get him for a good 18 days which hey its better than nothing. We miss you Daddy and are waiting to give you big big hugs! And Mommy wants a big big Kiss!!!

I think thats about it for now. I have to get some Tutu's out in the mail for a wedding order i did her little flower girls 6 of them are all wearing Tutu's. Her colors are Eggplant with a little black i'll post some pics in a bit.

Anyhow lots of love Ya'll

I took all my babies to the Beach today and it was a BLAST!!!! The kids had such a great time. We spent a good 5 hours there thank goodness we had good sunblock! Timber and i are a little pink but nothin to bad. Tylie i was very careful with and kept her shaded for most of the day. Ricky LOVED the water as normal and Alexis and Arlee played it up in the sand they did also have a little water time but we pretty content building sand castles. Timber DID NOT like the sand at all and wanted to stay put right on the blanket with mommy the sand on her little feet freaked her out, we went through a TON of baby wipes because everytime she would get sand on her feet she made sure to wipe it right off lol! Thats really the day and what a great weekend all around. we are making some more plans for the upcoming weeks and should be hittin up the Zoo next!

Lots of love,

Jamie

Sea World!

Yesterday we had some errands to run and I had all the kids with me, including Alexis and Ricky there school is state testing and they have already taken them before we transferred here so they didnt have to take them again. Anyhow as we were driving around the kids saw the Sea World sky tower and they all were yelling Sea World MOM!! Next thing I knew we were there lol! Yep spur of the moment timing too. It was noon when we pulled in and actually left the park at 8:00 lol we had sooooooooooo much fun and the little ones, OMG it blew there minds! Tylie was sooooo funny the whole day she would dance as music would play and make little screams to join in with the crowds during the shows, It was sooo darn cute! Alexis and Ricky have been before but they were so little and they were in Ah. We went through that park at least 3 times and seemed we always ended back at the tide pools because they all loved to hold the starfish well all except Timber she was a little freaked out. Arlee was totally freaked out with the shark encounter and all she could say was "Mommy thats a big shark what if he eats me?" LOL i laughed so hard on many occasions with that comment and i heard it throughout the rest of the day. Arlee also LOVED Shamu show all except when she heard we may get WET!! lol but we were in the 16th row and seemed fine we did get a drop or 2 but nothing that was upsettiing to Arlee lol. Anyhow we had a blast and i have TONS of pics to get up. Daddy we missed you at the park and next time your home we have to go again K!! We love you !
