Happy 31st B-day Tina

Okay so yesterday was my 31st Birthday. They day started out with my sweet Kayden coming in my room and telling me he was making me breakfast in bed. Aweee how sweet is that? So at 7:05am I had Waffles and Miss Brooklyn got me some orange juice. Do I not have the sweetest coolest kids ever? I got to relax in bed while my sweet husband did everything. Aweee another fun Birthday treat. Then we took the kids to school. Chandler had school at 9am. His Friend Andrew and his mother came to pick the boys up. I was watching a dear friend little girl that day because she had to be at the hospital all day. So Amilia and I got to hang out for the morning. I got caught up on some scout stuff. Yes still have to do business even on your birthday.
Then a dear friend Tin Tin had her farewell luncheon at a Chinese restaurant. So I picked Stephanie up and we went to lunch. We had so much fun hanging with Tin Tin. We are going to miss her so much. But happy she will be with her hubby in Germany.

Stephanie and I just hung out waiting until we had to pick the boys up. I was so glad Stephanie was with me because Amilia was sleeping and I didn't have to wake her up to go and get the boys from pre-school. Scroll down and see the "FIRE" and my gifts. My family too me to eat at Logan's Road house. YUMM YUMM they do not sing to you at Logan's they say Yee Haw. So I got to stand up in front of everyone while they gave me a big Logan's Yee Haw. I had the best Birthday ever. Thanks to everyone for making me feel so loved. Happy Day to me!!!!!

I told her I just go finished dropping off Amelia. She told me to get home fast because my garage was on fire. I was like are you serious she was like yes,Fire truck and all were at my house.
I was like Oh my gosh. I was so worried. I didn't know how on earth my house was on fire. I was freaking out. I totally speed home. My heart down in my stomach I was shaking. As I came in view of my house I saw all the cool things my friends had done. When I got out of my car, Sylwia was spraying me with silly string and they were all laughing.

1st Day of School

Here is Chandler's 1st Day of Pre-School. Here is one of his teachers Mrs. Rhonda(in the green) Mrs. Adrey in the (Blue)
Chandler has to find his name every morning and put it in the mail box. He has so much fun picking out his name and a couple others too! He was so happy to be at school.






It's the first day of School... Mom made sure to wakeup as soon as her alarm went off. She came down stairs and got everything ready for the kids. We had such a nice relaxing morning. NO one rushing. No one slept in. Everything was ready. Clothes were laid out the night before. We are so ready for school.

Chandler's offical day is Tomorrow. So watch for his first day pictures.


Here is Kayden at his Desk in Mrs. Kelly's 3rd grade class. He look so handsome. He is so sad Summer is over. He got a little excited for school when we went to our Open house last Thursday. Which by the way was a nightmare. There were so many kids and parents. You couldn't move. When Kayden met his Teacher Mrs. Kelly he got really excited. She is super nice. I can't wait to get to know her more.
Mrs. Brooklyn is so pretty at her Desk, She is officially in Kindergarden. Her teacher is Mrs. Fikling. She is so happy. She couldn't wait for school to start. I think she was finished with summer after our vacation. She has been looking forward to going to Kayden's school all summer long. She was so responsible this moring she woke up got dressed made her bed. Came down and did her morning chore sat down for family prayer and was ready to go.
Here they are eating breakfast. They love breakfast at school. They look so cute... I love this picture. Brooklyn was so excited she could have whatever she wanted.

1. Add a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It should be funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. Please, take the time to leave a comment.

10th Anniversary

Jeremy and I are celebrating our 10th Anniversary today. I must say I am married to the most amazing man. I love my husband so much. He truly is my HERO. Jeremy knows just what to do when I am happy, sad, and even crazy. My husband can turn my world around. He is my comforter, my companion, and most of all my Best Friend. For those of you who were with me during any of the times we were apart know that Jeremy is my "Right Hand" Jeremy can always make me laugh. He still makes my heart skip a beat when he walks in the door. I love watching him defend our freedom. My husband is an amazing Soldier. Jeremy is a wonderful Father. He loves his children so much and you can tell by just watching them interact. Jeremy teaches me so many things. I love you Babe!

I'm going recap some highlights of our 10 years together.


  • 11 Moves to include the following states. Utah, Georgia, Hawaii and Maryland keep in mind we have been to a couple of these places multiple times.
  • 11 Jobs before we joined the United States Army.

  • 5 colleges and two degree.
  • 4 separation due to the army

  • 1 deployment to Afghanistan

  • 5 Pregnancies and 3 beautiful miracles.

  • 1 missed birth

  • 1 missed pregnancy

  • 13 church callings

  • 7 temples

  • 8 surgery's

  • 5 Cars

  • 6 Family Vacations

  • 3 dogs
Jeremy I love you more today then the day I married you. You truly are a wonderful companion. I love you so very much.

Ti amo Tina


For everyone who knows me it is about time I did this. After having the afternoon, evening and most of the night to think about what I wanted to say on our 10th Anniversary, here it goes.

If you haven't figured it out yet, I am married to the most wonderful woman in the world. After putting her through: 3 full pregnancies (with one missed birth and one missed pregnancy), all those moves, a year long deployment, multiple separations for military schools, about ten years of college, and me being me, this beautiful woman still enjoys waking up to me every morning. She has given me support during the hardest times and also taken care of our home and our kids. She often calls me her hero, which always makes my heart happy, but she is the real hero. I don't know how she goes through her day laughing at the kids' antics, keeping a clean house and still have a beautiful smile and a hug and kiss waiting for when I get home. I love her so much and want the world to know it.

Tina, you are the most wonderful wife and mother. I have loved you for more than ten years now and that love has grown each day. I can not wait to see how much our love grows and what is going to happen over the next ten years. All I want is to spend it with you.

Ti amo, Jeremy

Happy 4th of July


We had a fun 4thof July this year. It started out with a breakfast at our church. We got together for a fun program and a yummy breakfast. After breakfast we went home and got ready for Ginny & Matthew and their kids to come down for the weekend. Then we went to the River Walk. They had a fun 4th of July event with free rides and activities for the kids. We had a blast we got there at 12:30 The kids had so much fun eating hot dogs, snow cones, ice cream snow cones, funnel cake, we ate at a yummy Mexican restaurant for dinner. The kids loved the two rides they were able to get wet from head to toe. It was so fun. The kids even tired to win a real fish. Sadly for them they didn't' win. We took Kayden's friend Ben with us. We really enjoyed our time with him. We met up with Ginny & Matt after the huge rain storm and ended up playing with them until 1:30AM. We had a great time catching up and enjoying our 4th of July.

4th of July

Once again this dang rain found us. Here we are running to the car as the heavens are poring upon us. We had already played through one rain storm. This one hit and oh my gosh we were so wet there was not a dry spot on anyone. You can tell I scrapbook, because I had to stop and take a couple pictures. I love the one with Jeremy and the kids. Super Cute.

The next picture the kids are all super cold and just wanted to get home. Again mean old mom had to take a picture of everyone dripping before we got in the car. Chandler is the only one smiling. I think the rest put on fake frowns. Everyone loved the rain but poor Ben. He didn't like it so much.
We went home and everyone got in warm PJ's and went to bed. It was so crazy!!!! This is our 2nd 4th of July in the rain what is up with that????
