Trying to catch up!

Hello friends and family. I know it has been a while but life got busy and I am just now catching up! For those who didn't know...Thomas graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering back in April. We then packed up our stuff and headed out to the city of Bremerton, WA. We are currently living in a pretty nice two bedroom apartment and Thomas has a good job at the Naval Shipyard. We plan on being here until the end of next summer and then it is off to a currently unknown place for Thomas to get his Masters. Life is going well. Thomas is enjoying work for the most part and has a calling with the Deacons which fills a lot of his spare time.


I am a happy stay at home Mommy and Alex and I have many many adventures together. He loves the many parks by our house....and especially likes to go to the beach and throw rocks in the water.


Alex is growing like a week and as usual is talking up a storm. He is turning two in a couple of weeks and it already asking questions and saying 6-7 word sentances. He amazes all who hear him talk. It is so cute to see so many words come out of such a small little man! Well I have to run...but I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the beautiful colors of fall!

Our Indoor Playland!

Well the weather has been getting warmer but we still have been spending most of our time indoors. Alex is a pretty entergetic little boy and it is fun to see what he will come up with to do. One day he decided to dump out his ball bucket and sit in it. Seeing how it is too small for him it made a pretty cute picture.

To assist Alex in his indoor play Thomas and I decided to make him a little house out of our television box. Thomas cut a door in it and some windows and I eventually taped some construction paper to it . Alex really enjoyed helping me decorate it with stickers and loves to go in and out and in and out all day long. He also loves to peek his head out the windows and say "Hi" with a big smile on his face.
Alex's favorite animal is a kitty. Our neighbors have a cat and I think that led to his love of cats. So a couple of weeks ago I found a cute white stuffed cat and bought it for him. He loves it! He carries him around the house, takes naps with him and calls him his "mow"! Mow is the sound that cats make! hee hee


Well my time is almost up...Alex is getting anxious for me to play with him again....so I will finish with one more cute story. So...a couple of nights ago I was checking on Alex while he was sleeping. I fixed his blanket and made sure he was warm enough. Then he rolled over and in his sleep he said, "cheese"! It was really funny! Alex loves to eat and it didn't surprise me that food was on his mind even in his sleep.

It's Cold Outside...Dooo Dee Dee Dee Dee!!!

Well... the weather outside has been frightful but the heater inside has been fairly delightful. Alex and I have lots of time inside and we have been running out of ideas of things to do. Currently Alex's favorite things are dumping all the toys out of thier boxes. Then carrying the toys around the house and depositing them in random places for me to find later in the week when I am cleaning. He also loves to read books....or rather for me to read books to him. He will follow me around the house with a book or if I am sitting on the couch he will shove his book in my face and say, "Reeee". (Read) And there is no way I can say, "No" to a face like his.


Along with dumping toys and reading books, Alex also likes to put things on. His most recent fad is wearing my headbands. He wears them on his head and sometimes around his neck. It's really cute! He also will try on any clothings that is left laying in the living room. One day Thomas left a shirt on the couch...Alex found it and wrapped it around his neck. Then Thomas took it and tied it around him like a toga. He looked like a miniature yoda!!


Well I'll tell you one thing, with Alex around I am never bored. He always finds something silly to do to bring a smile to my face. We both are looking forward to summer and fun in the sun and hope that winter will pass by soon! Until then we will ever be on the look out for new and exciting things to pass the time! Well that's all for now! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
