Max Walks!

sooo...Max thinks he's a dinosour.. haha

DADDA!

Gross Farms

Last weekend I took the kids to the pumpkin Patch at Gross Farms. Marissa really had a good time! If I would have remembered to grab my camera, there would be more pictures! I know, shame on me! haha

...And he is pulling himself up!!

Little chunky but is getting so big so fast, it seems like he has gone through some kind of growth spurt, he looks taller and a little slimmer cause he is crawling and bulling himself up. Here are some adorable pictures of my little carbon copy of Jay. I love my babies!

Update!

It's finally Fall! That means that time is still flying by and before we know it, Jay will be coming home and we just cannot wait!
The surgery went well, I was only laid up for a couple days, after that I was able to walk around and do some minor chores around the house. I am very happy with the results and feel more comfortable with my body.



I have some more adorable pictures to share !

And for your entertainment, here is a cute video of Marissa dancing and singing to her new fav song!

..Ok last one!

A few weeks ago, I took Marissa on a "mommy-Marissa date". We went to the Fascinate U Childrens Museum, she absolutly loved it, I am only going to post a few because there are soo many and it takes forever to post multiple pics on here. Enjoy!

What keeps me going...

I am a slacker... I know...

I know it's been a while since my last update, things have been really busy and crazy over here in the past month or so...
I am sure you all know this by now, but I am having surgery this coming Monday (Sept 14th).
I am having a much much needed breast lift, I am really excited about it, I am sure by Sunday evening I will be a bit nervous. I should be back on my feet in about 2 weeks!

The kids are doing well, Max is now 8 months old, he has started crawling, he pulls himself up on his knees and he can sit up on his own too. He has 6 teeth all together with 2 more coming in. He says Mamma too!
He is still very sweet, happy and all around a good baby..
Marissa on the other hand is quite the motormouth, she talks constantly and is very smart, she is completely potty trained...thank god! She is rotten from time to time, she doesn't like to listen much and says "NO MOMMY" alot, Still trying to figure out a good method of punishment, spanking and time outs don't seem to work all that well...

Jay is also doing really good, he misses his babies alot but we get to web cam alot so he gets to see them, he also got to witness Max's first crawl on the cam..it was a great moment for both of us. As of right now only 113 days left till R&R, I am so excited, I am just ready for these next few months to just fly on by!!

Here are some pictures of the "rotten" babies !

Time Fly's wen you're having fun!

So here we are at 4 months (16 weeks) down of the deployment and 133 more days (4 1/2 months) to go before Jay gets to come home for his R&R...The time has gone by pretty fast, but it kinds still feels like we have a little ways to go...

I got Marissa some colored pencils and she is drawing a picture for daddy on her table that grampa bought her!

Look at that pretty smile!

This is how I find Max every morning when he wakes up, try's to look over the crib hehe

Good morning mommy!

Big blue eyes!

Marissa is showing her coloring book to daddy

And now she's "reading" him a story

Max taking a bath with his big sis

He likes me to lean him back so he can kick the water.. hehe

All clean and in their PJs watching cartoons before bed...and yes Marissa loves putting headbands on...the wrong way!

My little princess and her Dinosaur song!

My sweet little Max

My little chunky butt is seriously about to take off any day now, he is so ready!



...and we have discovered that he is not a big fan of green beans either...hahah check this one out.

Bath time!

Yes I always give him a Mohawk when he's taking a bath! hahaha

Thank you Gramma for our PJ's!!

More pictures of my adorable babies!

And FYI Marissa is now COMPLETELY potty trained!! She still goes poopie in her pull up but hey...one thing at a time...I knew that if I just let her be, she would come around and want to do it on her own!I am so proud of my little girl!

Look at those teeth!
She really loves her baby brother, and he is so fascinated with her

Pretty girl!

The many faces of Marissa.

Marissa really likes posing for pictures, and she is just the cutest thing ever! I sent these to Jay and he was just in awe of how adorable our little girl is!
