Weekend Getaway......

We had an amazing Memorial Weekend! We decided instead of sticking around post, we would head up to Tucson for a little weekend getaway, my mom got us in at the JW Marriott and I have to say, it was AMAZING, we spent almost all our time at the pool swimming with the kids, eating at the poolside lounge, and getting some much needed sleep(the kids took 3 hour naps for us)! We had perfect weather, the kids behaved and we got some much needed family time in, with all the stress of getting ready for Jason to leave this was just what we needed! We hope you all had a fun and safe Memorial Weekend!

This is the view from our room!

This is also the view we had from our room!

Typical family picture......why can't the kids at least be looking at the camera?!?

I'm sure gonna miss this man.... =( Please let this next year go by fast!!!

A little Daniel Update......

We have been pretty busy around here getting Daniel into all his specialist and trying to get all his medical transfered down here, but I think we are on track now...but with good news there seems to always be bad news with us. We took Daniel to see a Pediatric Neurologist, and we finally got approved to get some extensive Genetic testing done, maybe now we finally can get some answers as to why Daniel was born the way he was, or what the future holds for him!Then we saw his Orthopedic Surgeon, and after more x-rays and hours in the office, we found out he needs MORE surgery.....UGH! Poor little guy.....we got lucky last time where he only needed it on one foot, but this time they want to do BOTH! As difficult as that was to hear, I know its going to help him and I know he needs it! I just hate seeing my little boy go through this! But he is a STRONG little boy, and despite what has been given to him, he always faces it head on and remains the happiest little boy ever!

So today things became real for us.....Today was the Casing of the Colors and Farewell Ceremony....{sigh}......so now we are just trying to enjoy every last minute of our time together. We are headed to Tucson this weekend, my mom was able to get us in at the JW Marriott, so we are taking off and enjoying a weekend of swimming, laying out, and playing with the kids, with no interuptions of house cleaning, cooking, or any chore for that matter....a complete weekend of pure enjoyment! 

Vegas Baby!!

 This last week we met up with my parents up in Vegas for one last vacation before Jason leaves.....and I must say it was a BLAST! We went swimming, lounged around, did some shopping, and of course enjoyed all the yummy food Vegas has to offer! Thanks Mom and Dad for inviting us and for giving me and Jason some "us" time as well!

My parents took the kids for us Thursday night so we could have a little date night. We first headed out to dinner, walked the strip for a bit, did some shopping at the Forum Shops then headed to the MGM grand where Jason took me to see KA! It was amazing....I highly recomend it! But it was a perfect night, and boy am I going to miss this man when he's gone!!! Love you Jason and thank YOU for always making me feel SO special!

Oh....and then to top of the night I got one of these! We are getting it engraved so I actually don't have it yet (but Tuesday I will!!) but as we were walking through the Forum Shops he led me into Tiffanys I thought we were just going to do our usual window shopping but when I found something I liked I looked at him and gave him that I want this look, and I was expecting to hear "NO" but instead he said without hesitation "YES!!!" Does he know how to spoil me or what!?!?!

ok.....We are gonna try this again

So a while back I had my blog private, and I hated it, always having to log in, and I kept having people email me and say they couldnt log in, so I went public again, then I noticed some strange people looking at my blog and so I decided to try and do the private thing again, and well.....same problem. And as much as I'm gonna hate it and well I don't even know if anyone really looks at my blog anymore.......(I facebook way more than I blog,) but I continue to blog for Journal purposes....but with that, Jason has asked me to take the blog private again. With him leaving for Iraq in a month, we really don't want all the crazies out there to know I'm all by myself with a husband deployed and have access to all my emotional ups and downs that will come with this deployment. So I'm not sure exactly when I'm going to do this.....most likely it will be within the next week or so. I still have my list from before, but if you are a new reader and want to continue taking a look, leave me your email so I can add you!
