Trip to Memaws

Well this past week our wonderful Daddy had to go underway since they just got done with their ship inspection. We hated to have him gone for a week, but we made the best of it by taking advantage of this week to head down to memaws!! We had such a great time and as always Cassidy was such a good girl. She loved going shopping and out to eat. We went out to eat at Luigi's, which is my favorite italian restaurant in Fayetteville,NC, and just as soon as we had finished our lunch she start squirming because she wanted to have her bottle then and there. lol She said she wanted to eat out with the girls too! Aunt Ivy came to see us one afternoon and played around and caught up on all of our current drama as always lol. We had a couple of days of Girls Day Outs which are always the best. She got tons of clothes since she is now in 3month old clothes :(  and a few toys to start playing with now that she is so much more active. Mommy got a bunch of non-preggo clothes which was very much needed! Even Daddy got some goodies that we brough back for him!

I also got my birthday presents early. I got a Wii w/ Wii Fit & plus, a workout kit, super mario, storybook game for Cassidy, and Wii resort for me and daddy to play with. I also got a pretty brown NorthFace jacket which is so warm and goes great with all the new clothes! Memaw has always known my taste in clothes...and well my taste in everything really! We miss her oh so much and we will be planning more trips down when Daddy has to go underway again!

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU MEMAW, SCOOTER, & DAISY!!

Daddy's Cake

Okay so I thought I would do something sweet...like the great wife that I am lol....and fix my beloved husband a cake just to say we love him. He has been working his butt off at work and working late hours so he hasn't had much time to spend with us and he texts me throughout the day to tell us he loves and misses us. I thought it was so sweet that he surprised me last weekend and took a few days of leave just so we could have 3 1/2 days to ourselves to spend time together as a family. It was really great and I loved every minute of it! He was really bummed to have to start back work yesterday and he dragged himself in the house at 12:30am after a LONG day at work. Poor baby was so tired and I fixed him a sandwich while he played with Cassidy before we all cuddled up to go to bed. It took him forever just to get out of bed this morning to head back to work by 6am. I felt so bad for him and so I decided to make him a cake just to show him how much we love him and appreciate all that he does for us! It is a white cake with white chocolate chips inside and chocolate fudge icing on top!

WE LOVE YOU DADDY<3

Our New Years Resolutions

Goodbye 2009! Hello 2010!

Tonight is New Years Eve and we will be sharing it with our beautiful daughter and great friends. We have had many discussions over the past few weeks about what we want next year to hold for us. February 25th, 2010 we will have been married for one year! February 12th, 2010 I will be turning 22 which is bitter sweet considering I already feel old but my family makes me feel younger and younger everyday. September 11th, 2010 we will have been together 2 years. October 2nd, 2010 our beautiful baby girl will be one year old *tear*. December 1st, 2010 my hubby will be 23... what an old man! lol December 9th, 2010 our other daughter will be 4yrs old...she is such a big girl and almost ready for school! These are just the definite events that lay ahead for 2010 but I'm sure there will be plenty more.

But in light of negative events that have occuried this past year, we want to make sure they do not occur again and we want to learn from our mistakes in order to better ourselves as a couple and as parents. This is the whole reason for new years resolutions right? So after our many discusions we have finally came up with our new years resolutions.

We are going to concentrate on our little family first and foremost! We are going to spend as much time with each other and our baby girl before he will be deploying January 2011. We are going to push aside the drama queens and surround ourselves with only the people that love and respect us as a family. I am going to start back school for nursing this January and hope to be finished by the end of 2011! My hubby is going to choose what he wants to re-enlist as in the Navy for when he returns from deployment. We will no longer be bothered by other people's immaturity and lack of self-respect, because in the end we will always have each other and our baby girl at the end of the day.

These are our new years resolutions that we intend to stand by throughout this upcoming year! We send everyone our love for this Happy New Year!
