Thankful List!

Well it's the holidays again! I love this time of year! Being able to be with family and friends and just enjoying time together. It seems like the pace of life slows just a bit for us to enjoy all that is around us. I have been given sooo much in my life. Lately I've been kind of sad about many different things and it's been hard with Daniel's work and the stresses of being a new mom, but I have come to realize even more that I need Christ on my side, and that having him and Heavenly Father in my life, and in my family's life we will be happy no matter the circumstances. I'm just so thankful for everything I have, but to name a few things to start out my list (which is such a good idea, from other bloggers :) )....

1. I love my Hubby: He is so much a part of me. When we are apart I feel somehow not completly myself, and then when he returns home its like I have my whole heart back. He has shown so much support for me and my craziness (Callie our men are wonderful hehe). I am def. a crier too! But he's so wonderful and sooo incredibly patient with me. I don't know how he does it. He makes me laugh whenever I need it. I love you soo much Daniel.

2. I love my Lillie bug! Lillie is my world. She is so hilarious and so sweet. Always so happy. There's seriously not enough words to express how much I love her. And that I'm so happy she is in my life. I get to be with her everyday. :) And I miss her when she goes down for her naps during the day. I have so many hopes and dreams for her. I love you my sweetie! :)

3. I love being in Hawaii!!! Hawaii is seriously sooo amazing! It's beautiful everyday! :) (even though I miss the snow at times, especially now) I love being able to go to the beach whenever I want. Just to walk outside and feel the humidity on my skin. Love it!! Whoo!

4. I love my friends and family, I miss the ones back at home sooo much! And wish we weren't so far away. And I love that I have some family here, it's so nice to get away and go up to North shore to hang with Chad and Melissa and Kaiya. :) Love you guys!

5. I love and am so grateful for my sisters!....I miss you so much I wish I was there with you.

6. I'm grateful for being a mother and a wife and all the fun and challenges that come with it, it has made me a better person and has really helped me find myself. Life is so wonderful!

Hopefully I can stay caught up with this list thing. :) I will try! Love you all! Miss you!!

Beach Baby!

Sarah is visiting Lillie and I this week its been a blast, and has kept us company while Daniel is gone. We went to the White Plains Beach yesterday. This beach is beautiful and I recommend it. It was a lot of fun, now that Lil can wear sunscreen I'm not as worried to take her outside for more than a half hour hehe. But even then I put her in this little rash guard that was made for a two year old, and that helped protect her a little more and an umbrella. But Sarah and I both forgot our cameras, I had my phone one though, so luckily I got a couple of shots of Lil playing in the sand. Its a little new to her, her reaction was pretty funny. She would grab a handful of sand and by the time she got the chance to open her hand and look at what she had picked up the sand was gone. Hehe, so she would keep grabbing at it and dumping it all over the towels. :) But here's some of the pics I got with my phone. Love you all!

Bath Time!!

Lillie loves the bath! Especially with her Daddy! Here's some pictures of them having fun hehe!

The Air Show!

A couple days ago we went out to the air show, it only happens like every five years or so, so we spent all day hangin out where Daniel works and seeing all the planes and watching the amazing Thunderbirds! They were so exciting! I love this country so much! And I am so grateful that I can be able to live the way I do! Thanks to all the military and especially Daniel for all the hard work you do to protect us! Love you! Here's some pictures and video of the Thunderbirds and the airshow! So awesome!

Lillie and I, Lillie looks mad hehe. 

  

Lillie just waiting for daddy to be finished showing his plane.

 

 I love this picture of her

 

The Thunderbirds!!! All lined up and getting ready to go!

 

 You can see one flying, they flew so low to the ground!

  

 Here's one where they crossed each other!

 

This guy was flyin so low! They played the "low rider" song while he was crossing the runway!

Updates!

ALOHA!!! Just wanted to check in and let you all know about some things going on lately! First of all everything is going well. Hawaii is great, family is all great! Daniel just got promoted Staff Sergeant! He will have his ceremony sometime in February hopefully! So we're pretty excited about all that. Lillie is Six MONTHS now!!! Oh how it has gone by so quickly! I try to capture every moment! She's growing and changing so much! She's on the verge of crawling!
It's so exciting, and soon we'll be having to chase her. hehe!
Here's some fun stuff to look at! Love you all!

Lillie just playing in her high chair.

Just really like this picture, you can see her pretty eyes.

5 Months!

Oh how time flies! Lillie is growing up so quickly, it just seems like yesterday when she was born. And now she's rolling over, which means we're going to have to baby proof the house pretty quick here! :) She's such a blessing in our life. We love you Lillie!
