CampINg

Ben got a three day weekend. So we decided to go camping. We were going to stay for two nights, but it ended up being a little chilly for me and i was worried that the kids would get to cold too. We had a lot of fun. We couldn't keep the baby clean. She kept putting everything in her mouth. And Tristan just loved the rocks. He kept moving them all over the place. And he even found a walking stick to use too. Which he liked lots. Ben even got his fix and got to ride his quad(four wheeler) around a bit. It will be the last time we go camping in California. I think, but with the air force you never know?!?!?

One year...

Well my baby girl is a year old. At this time last year i was still in the hospital with her. It is crazy. She just isn't a baby anymore. She is getting so big. I miss her being little and falling asleep in my arms. I am glad that she seems to be learning things so quickly. Well for her birthday we went and got some lunch and then we opened presents. After that we had cake of course. It was a pretty good day, not that she will remember any of it really. I am just so glad that Ben made it back for her first Birthday!

necklace..

I also went to Michaels today. I found some dog ears for Tristan for Halloween. And a couple of odds and ends.Then I got looking at the bead stuff and found some stuff to make some necklaces. And I think that they came together really well. So anyway here they are

Fun Stuff

So this is the stuff that Ben got for me while he was away. He got some perfume for me. It is an oil perfume and it smells so wonderful! And he got me a gold flower that will last forever. Also a wonderfully pink robe that has my name on it. He did very good. And he thinks that he has my birthday and Christmas covered we will see...
I was also having a bad day the other day and Ben went to run some errands and he came back with some orange and pink flowers and it made my day!

Guam.....

I was thinking that Ben would come home and things would calm down for a bit. Boy was I wrong. Ben called me yesterday and let me know that we are going to an island getaway of the Air Forces' choosing..AKA Guam. It is in the middle of nowhere and it is beautiful. It is going to be crazy. Here is a pictures of it so people can understand where it is..

11 months old

Kenzie is 11 months old today. I am just glad that Ben will be back to see her for her first birthday!

WELL

Ok. Well we should have close to TWO WEEKS until Ben gets home from his deployment..I don't know for sure when he is coming home, he might have a layover and the time difference, so all of that makes it hard to know for sure when he will get back. And i know that the next two weeks are going to last forever. It will be a lot different when Ben comes home. GREAT but different. I have felt like a single mom for almost 4 months. But i can't wait for Ben to come home. I know Tristan will be so excited to have him home. And Kenzie has changed so much. She is 11 months old tomorrow. When Ben left she was a baby..she isn't anymore. She is taking more and more steps. However she still prefers to crawl. And she is getting even more teeth. It will be interesting to see what she thinks of Ben. We just need Ben to get home safe and sound and then things we be wonderful.
