someme heroes wear capes, ours wear combat boots!!

Today was an emotional day for my family. My big brother chris boarded a plane to leave for iraq. He won't technically be there for 2 weeks. It was really hard to watch him say bye to his beautiful wife becca and there georgeous 3 week old baby girl Zoe. He has been pretty excited to be going but since Zoe arrived he has not been doing good. We are all just so happy he got to spend 3 weeks with her. Rather her be due any day and not see her. And as hard as it is she's at a good age. When daddy comes home she will be 1 and she won't know the difference. Doesn't make it any easier. we all got to spend a couple hrs with him and all of his fellow troops. It was heartbreaking watching them stand in formation then turn and board while their families looked on. We all took our turns at giving a hug and when it came my turn I gave hima big hug said be safe and I love you and then I lost it. I hate crying in public. It was just so hard. Its still kinda unreal that he's gone for a year. It was also really hard to hear little kids crying and yelling bye daddy. Ill miss you. I love you. I just wish him and his fellow troops a safe trip out and back. And safety while in iraq. They are sacrifising so much so we can have freedom. All of them gave up family time and being with their newborns while we get to chill and be with our families. Those men and women are so strong and brave. I hope this year flies by so we get him home soon!!! Please keep him and the troops in your prayers!! Ill be posting pictures tomorrow when I'm on the computer.

Pictures finally

So I deleted all the pictures and decided to just do a slide show. Much easier.

dinosa u r a dinosaur.....

Finally we have moved!!! We moved frim provo to american fork. I love it. Not only is it bigger and closer to johns school and the same distance from his work but I'm about a block away from one of my besties, trinity. Its awesome. Tristan and I can just walk on over and play w her and her 2 kiddos. Her husband is finally home from serving a year in afghanistan. Thank you ryan for fighting for our freedom. My big brother chris and his wife becca are having a baby and schedualed to e leaves have miss zoe on Friday. Sucky thing is he leaves for iraq on the 26 and is in training till wed of next week. So he can only leave for 4 hrs on Friday to be with becca and zoe. Then he's gone for a year and misses the most important milestones. But once again I thank him for his sacrifice and wish him the best of luck. He's excited to go but at the same time sad he will not be with his girls. John has been making fun of me lately cuz I'm on ksl.com as much as I am on fb. So when he's off work I give him a news uodate of traffic and important things going on. After each "story" he says: and back to you (insert random names) in the news room. He thinks he's funny. I just like being informed on what's going on. And since I can't watch the news on tv I have to read about it. Which I'm fine with that. So I've decided to not share with him anymore. At least ill try not to. Lol. We got another dog a couple weeks ago. He's a weimareiner. His name is moose. We named him that. Its was jake but had to change it cuz his owner looked liek my ex and his name was jake. So it was no bueno. But moose fits him PERFECTLY!!! He is constantly running into things and is...well a moose. He's so clumsy. He will run down the stairs and slip on the tile and flip into the door. Its funny. And he will start runnign and run into walls or slip on tile. He keeps tristan and I entertained. But I am sad to say I am selling him. Hie is great with george and tristan but they aren't so good with him. Tristan has his moments where tristan likes him but other where he's terified when he sees him. And george is our gay dog and gets turned on at the sight of moose. Its gross. We have definatly fallen in love with him and he's a great dog but our home is too small for the two dogs and tristan. It will be sad when he leaves. But he deserves a backyard and a better home. He's causing way too much not needed stress for me. Plus he farts a lot and its horrible. Lol. I knew he would be a challenge and I'm all for it but once again he's too big for our home. My knee has been killing again. I can sometimes barely stand or walk. I need to go back and have it checked out. But I keep putting it off cuz I don't wanna deal with it. Which is bad cuz it makes it worse. Also the other night I was trying to beat up johnny and I was wining but then he accidentally rolled over and hyperextended my elbow causing it to dislocate. It no feel good. He feels really bad but its not like he did it on purpose cuz if he did id have to kill him :D mr tristans new favorite things to do are pick his nose, make funny faces at us like angry old man and a kinda smile/I d k. Lol. Its just freaking hilarious. He's such a cute kid and he knows it all too well. I have officially gotten him off bottles and on sippy cups. It was mostly the help of mr kelton. He kept stealing his sipy and drinking from it. He has also moved to a big boy bed. He likes it. He normally sleeps till anywhere between 930 and 1015. I love it. He still ahs his nights, like tonight, where he just wants to be snuggled and sleeps with us. And I'm ok with it. I love it. He doesntg do it that often. Hopefully I can get somewhere with internet on my laptop so I can put pictures up. It will be a lot. Anyways. Good night. Or should I say morning since its 3 :D I had to watch my alice in wonderland before I went to bed.
