The one about chatching up...

Dear Blog,

oh how i have neglected you... so lets catch up...

Last time i posted Pay Pay was just coming home from the hospital today, my little girl is ALMOST 3 months old! Oh how time flies when your moving from Hawaii to Grey, Cold Idaho Falls Idaho. Then shortly after our return was Christmas then New years and now i finally have a break before all the other holidays we have coming up. Pay is happy and healthy and still waring her new born clothes. She is around 10 pounds and is starting to make for very good conversation. She loves her swing and smiles every time we make eye contact. Everyone says she looks like me, which is surprising seeing as how Parker looks NOTHING like me... O how i love to squish her little cheekies!

Parker is almost 4 now and we have begun preparations for his birthday party. He is really growing too fast and i cant believe some of the things he says sometimes.... most of which im glad is just to me rather than to other people... except when he cant help himself and calls some poor guy with a voice box in his throat a robot... embarassed parent? CHECK! He is obsessed with scooby doo right now and im not really sure how that one came about. But i talked him into something other than a "mystery party."

Chase has been gone about a month and a half now and it feels like its been FOREVER! He is doing as well as he can given the circumstances. He has 5 soldiers under his care, worked the night shift, but just got switched to 4-4 he will work alone for a few hours of it but it will keep him busy. We sent christmas to the troops again this year and they loved it. We miss him and cant wait to see him!

We have sooo many important days coming up! first is Valentines Day then we have oodles of birthdays including Parkers 4th on Feb. 20. then mine on April 2 in between we also have our anniversary on March 1. Chase will hopefully be home for rnr around may, which we will spend completely secluded at our cabin in island park....

Ok blog you are somewhat up to date.... my next post shall be ideas for Parkers birthday!
