Noah's 6th Birthday and 10 MONTHS down!!!!!!

First off, my camera is being really mean and I haven't been able to take pictures... I need to change that fast!!

2nd off, My son turned 6 on the July 16th. I don't have much to say along these lines bc we had a great time celebrating!... He was so cute and so excited for his birthday! And so proud to tell everyone that he is 6 now. This boy cracks me up!!!! He is so old now!!! And he also has lost 4 teeth and looks funny with out is front two.. I will post pics soon! ;)

Next, We have made it 10 months on this deployment! This is by far a big accomplishment for me!!! I never thought I would actually make this stepping stone bc 10 months seemed like an eternity! But we are on our way to the finish line... Now I am thinking, OMW, am I ready for him to come home??? Don't laugh! I have been by myself for nearly a year and he has been with men for almost a year. How will be mesh everything back together??? It's going to be hard and fun and exciting all rolled into one.. I am so ready for him to be out of danger and back on American soil! I am so proud of him for his hard work that he has given! and I am so excited to have my family back!!!!!

And today also reached another milestone... I am 24 weeks along. YIKES!!!! Soon after Stace comes home, I will have a little friend coming home too!!!!! What a year! Can't wait to make some new memories as a family!!!!! woot woot!!!!!

4th of July Weekned

Happy Birthday America!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe its already July... WHAT HAPPENED??? Well I love that its time to celebrate our Independence day!!! The weekend started off amazing as I took a little trip to Grace, Idaho for the day on Saturday. Stacey is from this cute little town and its so beautiful there.. I was nervous for my little adventure due to the fact that I have never driven by myself there.. (I can hear everyone laughing at this point) I am one of those drivers that has to drive her ownself places if I am expected to be there.. Well... I made it there alive so YAY for Ashlee...
I went for a special purpose and I am so glad I did! Stacey's younger brother, Sterling, got engaged!!! SO CUTE!!!!! and His fiance, Kelli was getting Baptized! What an amazing day to spend with family!!!!! I love the stoddards and they always make you feel welcomed!! :)
Well I made it for another major holiday! Which means I am done for the year! Stacey will be home soon and thank goodness.. I wasn't as emotional as I thought I would be today. But, I didn't do anything too out of the ordinary regular day.. But I am so grateful for our Country and the freedoms that we have! I am thankful for all the military men and women past, present, and future who fight to help our country remain free.. I love my hubby and I am grateful for his sacrifice!!!!!!! God Bless America!!!
