It was the first time I ran 4 miles since coming back off of maternity leave. I ran the entire way and didn't stop once. Granted, I wasn't running super fast but I finished in about 53 minutes which isn't too bad considering I was running it in 40 something before I got pregnant. I'll get better, but for now I am SOOOO sore. Hips, knees, ankles, you name it, it hurts to walk on.<br /><br />The second reason today is a big day is because I found out I won NCO of the Year for my squadron. I didn't win at the Group level, but I was still happy. I've never won anything like this in my career and I was very proud and happy. It really makes you feel like you do a great job and people can see that when you win awards like this. <br /><br />The kids are doing good, getting bigger each and every day. This morning when I came home from PT to shower and change to go to work Liz woke up. The first thing she said to me was Good morning mama. She is a very sweet girl.Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464934245582698129.post-64560392948828347322010-01-18T18:02:00.001-08:002010-01-18T18:09:23.055-08:00New Year, New BloggerOk, since I finished school last semester I have a little bit of free time. I am hoping to turn over a new blogging leaf and try to get/keep this thing up to date. Everyone is doing well here. Elizabeth is learning her ABCs and 123s...in fact, she has figured out my code to unlock my phone so sorry if she calls anyone. :) Christopher is 2 months old today. He's still rolling over from his tummy to his back and he is getting so big! He goes in for his 2mth check up on the 27th so I'll post his stats when I know them. <br /><br />We went to Sears earlier to spend our 'free' Heros at Home gift card they emailed us and we get up to the cashier and she tried to type in the giftcard number and it kept coming back "card not activated". It was extremely frustrating to have stuff picked out and rang up only for them to tell us the card isn't going to work? I understand it was free to us but why send us something thats not going to work? <br /><br />Side note...we finally got something things to put up on the walls so we won't have a bare-walled house. Yeeaaa! I got a really pretty flower picture and then a box of 10 in 1 picture frames. So now, I just need to print off some picture and put everything up. I'll post pictures of the progress as it happens. <br /><br /><br />The weather has been BEAUTIFUL! I hope it keeps up, its nice to be able to open the windows or go outside and play.Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464934245582698129.post-85512745514672070542009-04-11T18:35:00.001-07:002009-04-11T18:35:15.992-07:00Kiersten's Junior Prom<img height="200" width="200" src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procgserv/47b9da25b3127cce98549bc209aa00000040100AaNWTNmzZs2VA" /><br/>50 pictures<br/><a href="http://jamiepattersonspictures.shutterfly.com/1959?eid=115">View Album at Shutterfly</a><img width="1" height="1" border="0" src="https://os.shutterfly.com/b/ss/sflyshareprod/1/H.15/111?pageName=sharekey&c1=pictures&c2=blogger" /><br/>Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464934245582698129.post-26509838163089522642009-03-28T08:33:00.000-07:002009-03-28T08:55:59.146-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtW85ofcuk4lWxCt4A-l6fmYS2aPjr34Q_1ffWEBbmzkikml0iA-JQLOUVwuMSS65uttK1Sk8E0E1bie_CBbWMFORsmuwLxifYHnAZhnnRuRR6yv_TLm0SrsGk2mY0wABfEvFqmNSDKeZ9/s1600-h/DSC_0667.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318265893493973362" style="WIDTH: 320px;

I can mark that down on my list of things I'm not good at! :) Well, its been an eventful month since the last time I wrote. My parents came to visit 2 weekends ago. They were here for 4 days and we had a blast! The thing Liz probably enjoyed the most besides all the attention was the park! She loves the park!! She likes to swing but I think she likes the slides the most. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Then last weekend, Tony suprised me with a trip to San Antonio. We arrived around 5 pm Saturday night and went down and had dinner and enjoyed the Riverwalk and Market Square. Then Sunday, we woke up early and took Liz to the ZOO! Of course, she's still at the age where she doesn't quite know that these aren't animals she sees everyday so I think I probably had the MOST fun out of the three of us. I LOVE the ZOO!!! </div><div> </div><div>When we arrived home, we got an even better suprise! BabySharpe#2 is on the way! I am due 28 November, just 8 days after Liz's bday and 9 after Mallory's. If this baby comes a week early, we could end up with three kids with close bdays. 19 November-Mallory, 20 November-Elizabeth, and 21 November-BabySharpe#2. We're definately going to be broke in November/December time frame :)</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464934245582698129.post-21090892168162914772009-02-22T09:04:00.000-08:002009-02-22T09:11:54.703-08:00Where has the time gone?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrbJ_GVDo3RdSiR2GpFa_srOSsqb-oM1c-H2bqQlCv3XtQHnk8ePp0zqAxVmVw_CeKp6tVjoptfszmipF_e0r3H20z2RxVbSSdmCYbG-UpGOpXjVtDbUxjjXKIY51eeSbuKfjx3FfYVvx/s1600-h/DSC_0530+(402+x+600).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305670523339898946" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrbJ_GVDo3RdSiR2GpFa_srOSsqb-oM1c-H2bqQlCv3XtQHnk8ePp0zqAxVmVw_CeKp6tVjoptfszmipF_e0r3H20z2RxVbSSdmCYbG-UpGOpXjVtDbUxjjXKIY51eeSbuKfjx3FfYVvx/s320/DSC_0530+(402+x+600).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZWqes4Fuf9R-qYd9AfaaXlD0xq9QMSwYdrJOwrx9ucgx0tmGJodLeO8pQa1b1VFq01gLSxfNrFbqELOfKU9vcKw_xJMaT9ySLn1YZF6x5kQ9tpqC2VDjO9dS_uY6HVXWF6qUGj32hbyLS/s1600-h/DSC_0527+(402+x+600).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305670518726216850" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZWqes4Fuf9R-qYd9AfaaXlD0xq9QMSwYdrJOwrx9ucgx0tmGJodLeO8pQa1b1VFq01gLSxfNrFbqELOfKU9vcKw_xJMaT9ySLn1YZF6x5kQ9tpqC2VDjO9dS_uY6HVXWF6qUGj32hbyLS/s320/DSC_0527+(402+x+600).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggkwU9slNQHMfgzxDpq0qY_2X1OYtmV7QtEHVn0_98aYtCOxcizCKleN9laPAx0Ce_rgNGs0MvB-rX6OUIyFwguukszP_pEBjVEAF-mbVkxa4z2wCVXKI7xx80O57-5M7gU4z_DkyoAlXf/s1600-h/DSC_0522+(402+x+600).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305670517587016466" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggkwU9slNQHMfgzxDpq0qY_2X1OYtmV7QtEHVn0_98aYtCOxcizCKleN9laPAx0Ce_rgNGs0MvB-rX6OUIyFwguukszP_pEBjVEAF-mbVkxa4z2wCVXKI7xx80O57-5M7gU4z_DkyoAlXf/s320/DSC_0522+(402+x+600).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_J_YArF99TzPGPpSW-ScavKR2zYxOVbwEyjZJVjS8vOSBP51pMgf7ImXqhs89IL5_Nywias9yxM6JRIrjOzijVcxwU9ydUUSM90as3gsi5oQc3BYYpMTNWrtm-mMAMdGAY2rHgaVXhkb7/s1600-h/DSC_0518+(402+x+600).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305670518133476834" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_J_YArF99TzPGPpSW-ScavKR2zYxOVbwEyjZJVjS8vOSBP51pMgf7ImXqhs89IL5_Nywias9yxM6JRIrjOzijVcxwU9ydUUSM90as3gsi5oQc3BYYpMTNWrtm-mMAMdGAY2rHgaVXhkb7/s320/DSC_0518+(402+x+600).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>So, I was looking through my blog and realized I haven't posted anything new in a LONG time! We're all doing good and getting settled in. I really like the area down here. Elizabeth is doing great and getting meaner by the minute :) She is very smart and loves to dance. Everytime Tony and I use the restroom she comes in to tell the pee pee bye bye so I'm thinking its just a matter of time before we seriously try to start potty training. She did go once on her potty but that was over 1.5 months ago. I haven't really tried to much since. Classes have started for both Tony and me so things have been pretty crazy around here.

We will go pick him up next Saturday so in 6 days. Everyone is pretty excited and can't wait to have an addition to the family. We're hoping it gives Elizabeth someone to play with. She doesn't have any more interaction with kids since she's not in daycare anymore, and she desperately needs a playmate.<br /><br />Tony's 27th birthday is Thursday, so he's feeling old. :) Other than that, things have been realitively quiet around here. We're getting settled into the new house and into the area.<br /><br />Here is a new picture of Dexter @ 7wks. He's already gotten a lot bigger since the Christmas pictures as you can see. He will be 9 wks old when we pick him up.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhopYH2wSLfhzlXP1FbsuUbhX-b04bOJt7F1G99H6kGfo0Lfr0n8RP_A4oOiPnnBiwUav2w_OBKt34nJ1GTe4ejkx8F2j8ew2BzQBIKr4wqd357IasqIu4Mt_HsGngSOHWS_NDipUJVh66s/s1600-h/Stanford7wks%2520002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292736368127239714" style="WIDTH: 311px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhopYH2wSLfhzlXP1FbsuUbhX-b04bOJt7F1G99H6kGfo0Lfr0n8RP_A4oOiPnnBiwUav2w_OBKt34nJ1GTe4ejkx8F2j8ew2BzQBIKr4wqd357IasqIu4Mt_HsGngSOHWS_NDipUJVh66s/s320/Stanford7wks%2520002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464934245582698129.post-27611696310438616002009-01-03T16:51:00.000-08:002009-01-03T17:09:47.186-08:00Welcome to 2009...2008 is soooo last year!HAPPY NEW YEARS everybody! How is the Sharpe Family ringing in the new year? With a new member of the family! Now don't go getting all excited....I'm not pregnant. We're getting a furry addition. His name will be Dexter and he is a Goldendoodle from Missouri. Right now he is 6 weeks old, but he will be about 9 weeks old when we get him. He's flying in to Midland Airport on 24 January...and Tony, Elizabeth and I am going to go pick him up. I'm really excited. Ever since we had to get rid of our last dog because he wouldn't be allowed on base, just to find out there was a problem with base housing and we are in our own house and could have kept him, I've been pretty upset. I asked Tony for a dog for my birthday. He was reluctant at first. He didn't want our new house trashed by a dog. But, after being persistant (annoying/pouting) he agreed. I wanted a big dog I could take for walks and he wanted something little that didn't shed. So, we compromised and got a Goldendoodle a big dog with minimal shedding. His daughter Mallory has one and we both fell in love with her dog when we met him so we've been browsing around for one the ast few months without actively pursing it. Tony found Dexter (Stanford) online inquired about him and after talking back and forth with the owner/breeder we were very happy with the pictures/videos. The lady really seems to love what she does and loves dogs and gives her puppies so much love and attention.<br /><br />So without further ado, meet Dexter our soon-t0-be newest member of the family!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifIIH7oPmKQtPiWymETy2CrYwW8yE0nEy7_j38EaksRw6X3vHcZDM7TrqJ4o61vgMWW1CFN_sJTiTGSnVnn_7ONiq1_y_yXmaqtKs7LeIwlGxuZfQYPd1e1STTY7Q9xuNA7I8jFaAefi8E/s1600-h/Stanford5wks001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287238712514195266" style="WIDTH: 270px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifIIH7oPmKQtPiWymETy2CrYwW8yE0nEy7_j38EaksRw6X3vHcZDM7TrqJ4o61vgMWW1CFN_sJTiTGSnVnn_7ONiq1_y_yXmaqtKs7LeIwlGxuZfQYPd1e1STTY7Q9xuNA7I8jFaAefi8E/s320/Stanford5wks001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSxzFcg346Gjk_hjVfgCmnX1S8as7RTkmjBczGg5mDdWc1zbc6qMVz9fNMDMzRfcnjhMPuRGQZznZjKnhYk4h2SRztsBKPKGp0wx4DGja80U75mHaLlRT7aw3udCp73-hrl-sumzolxIrD/s1600-h/Stanford5wks002-1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287238709252494978" style="WIDTH: 292px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSxzFcg346Gjk_hjVfgCmnX1S8as7RTkmjBczGg5mDdWc1zbc6qMVz9fNMDMzRfcnjhMPuRGQZznZjKnhYk4h2SRztsBKPKGp0wx4DGja80U75mHaLlRT7aw3udCp73-hrl-sumzolxIrD/s320/Stanford5wks002-1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464934245582698129.post-49898270740710557532008-12-29T07:23:00.000-08:002008-12-29T07:35:07.256-08:00Happy Holidays from our family to yours!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvqoweeRymRbf0kQQkyaD6Eki431_Dnn-GHBpkLdAQoD3NrNo3NVTIWudWwd54d0LAhha1aDpjRy-kiEaLC1rvHDvGOYFBHnrnQ3sXPuLGa7XCWgIDe4BzqY3dEN4nWNHJ7wceio6sp552/s1600-h/DSC_0338.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285235968657779026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvqoweeRymRbf0kQQkyaD6Eki431_Dnn-GHBpkLdAQoD3NrNo3NVTIWudWwd54d0LAhha1aDpjRy-kiEaLC1rvHDvGOYFBHnrnQ3sXPuLGa7XCWgIDe4BzqY3dEN4nWNHJ7wceio6sp552/s320/DSC_0338.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn3HaJMlrtlezOsepAZpZQYlBCfeNduu6X-LTHd86rnKZR6zjtX_UTHFewGZms4Dzia5U6Qfg7RL6GRK-b177x4CIBWSjmObElkriQ0LaD5LNaWQLTNcxR1ybMGM5sdUwYWX8PmUS7brbT/s1600-h/DSC_0325.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285235964096248114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn3HaJMlrtlezOsepAZpZQYlBCfeNduu6X-LTHd86rnKZR6zjtX_UTHFewGZms4Dzia5U6Qfg7RL6GRK-b177x4CIBWSjmObElkriQ0LaD5LNaWQLTNcxR1ybMGM5sdUwYWX8PmUS7brbT/s320/DSC_0325.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#ff6666;"><strong></strong></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#ff6666;"><strong></strong></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#ff6666;"><strong>Well, I must admit: I'm not the most "faithful" blogger.

I just wish it would hurry up and not be winter anymore (if you can call 70 degrees winter..) so that we can get on with planting grass seed and what not. Kind of hard to let a 1 year old play outside when its nothing but dirt out there. We did take Elizabeth to the park a few days ago. She had the best time! She absolutely LOVES the swings.

One minute in a diaper the next minute Alakazam! Its gone! We went ahead and bought a potty for her, we figure its never too early to start. She came up to me one morning and said Up.

Can it be? Can my little girl already be 1 year old today? More like she's 1 going on 16, or so she thinks. She has 4 teeth, her 2 bottom teeth, her 2 top canine teeth, and now one of her front teeth is coming in. She is such a sweet baby! She is constantly giving lovin' to everything and everyone. :) <br /><br />We are in Ohio at the moment visiting Tony's family/daughter and we are leaving Sunday for Arkansas. We will spend 12 days there and then its off to San Angelo to start over at Goodfellow. Hopefully it will be warmer there than the weather we're used to... then again ANYTHING is warmer than what we were used to in Alaska.<br /><br /><div align="center"> </div>Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464934245582698129.post-86851085466556646952008-10-26T18:05:00.000-07:002008-10-26T18:18:10.626-07:00Fast Food sucks!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHYGwCZo1fhwoPWolfxmQ8HjEnIn6pV8BLIoJd17bV6EkNO9HEQlSvvAZfLinOfxMvMbN4_dgBAPNZK7mvjFfCdT0k7SKd1km5f7XWb1vxD75uZmcjBUoLCjObs1ai3YUQQjuHpt1CJhmE/s1600-h/P9260262.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261636451586906690" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHYGwCZo1fhwoPWolfxmQ8HjEnIn6pV8BLIoJd17bV6EkNO9HEQlSvvAZfLinOfxMvMbN4_dgBAPNZK7mvjFfCdT0k7SKd1km5f7XWb1vxD75uZmcjBUoLCjObs1ai3YUQQjuHpt1CJhmE/s320/P9260262.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhDVv9v7gOJGUQu4C9RA0N98vXwZ7MkNo9sSsrSb1adxYbdaYFG9iWxt3PZrEiwrqAX5ekJlKqTir-549f3nTAN38g8IWq5hyVjRNfIaPstJAsyQqvVPkUns50EZaQYm8HDWJMDbXa0jC/s1600-h/PA120298.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261636448097502642" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhDVv9v7gOJGUQu4C9RA0N98vXwZ7MkNo9sSsrSb1adxYbdaYFG9iWxt3PZrEiwrqAX5ekJlKqTir-549f3nTAN38g8IWq5hyVjRNfIaPstJAsyQqvVPkUns50EZaQYm8HDWJMDbXa0jC/s320/PA120298.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQM_UBnjFcsaGpkrcr-2Fv1RQhiDnT4ABIge2zuoMAFgZjKGGIcUWAjr40PCliTyc8OzS8fiEB_9nGfoXWA2_xKHkRQ2ZAVvtDcPGvRbCChTVYAyCjOidWLKMsUFpBU8DzKBQd7V_5Lqfs/s1600-h/PA210308+(2)+(600+x+513).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261636434770063778" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 274px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQM_UBnjFcsaGpkrcr-2Fv1RQhiDnT4ABIge2zuoMAFgZjKGGIcUWAjr40PCliTyc8OzS8fiEB_9nGfoXWA2_xKHkRQ2ZAVvtDcPGvRbCChTVYAyCjOidWLKMsUFpBU8DzKBQd7V_5Lqfs/s320/PA210308+(2)+(600+x+513).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Well we've officially moved out of our house in North Pole. All of our stuff is packed and on its way to Texas. We're currently living in a hotel room on base. We'll be here a total of 10 days, and I think we are on day 5? All of the days have been running together. We've been eating out alot because we don't want to waste money on groceries we can't take with us. I don't think I'm sick of fast food, I think I am more sick of eating the same old crap every day. I can't wait until we get back to the lower 48 and have a wider variety to choose from! </div><br />I finally graduated ALS! Woohoo, now I just have to wait until June or July to put on Staff Sergeant. Looking forward to the payraise!<br /><br /><div><br />Hard to believe my little girl will be 1 next month! She's getting so big, she started walking a couple of weeks ago, she still crawls every now and then but she loves to walk and thinks she's soo big when she does. I can't wait to see everyone! We'll be in/around Ohio from 10 Nov-23 Nov and in/around Arkansas from 24 Nov-6 Dec. Love you guys! </div></div></div>Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464934245582698129.post-38139916867269067102008-09-27T17:06:00.000-07:002008-09-27T19:40:03.502-07:00Update<span style="color:#993399;">Wow, time really flies when you're busy. I just realized I haven't updated this in a while. It is already almost October! We have 34 days left in Alaska. I am currently in a leadership class that last 5.5wks so as soon as I graduate this course I will have 1 more week left in Alaska. Today we got the first snowfall. Of course, it is still to realitively warm for the snow to stick but it shouldn't be too much longer! TEXAS here we come!! :) It will be nice to have some warm weather for a change.<br /><br />Elizabeth is a mess. She is getting bigger and bigger everyday. She still doesn't have any more teeth, but that doesn't stop her from eating any and everything she finds. She's started walking but she is still too scared to walk without holding your hand so she settles on crawling most of the time.</span>Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464934245582698129.post-74320197241773243422008-07-23T18:57:00.001-07:002008-12-08T15:06:55.218-08:00Getting orders??<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif9de80iSydukEH9u3BM3EEmK6EADNs5ANJ1buI3mgp9ws5ttB5sm3DdPw76MZEdj4-safKUWCac-CZSHUMPVPzpI8ccxxEIE8IJp-vpRyFxHLZNVL2roGIUucMH-cPF4QFk2Nnt7mxy2p/s1600-h/P7060132.JPG"><span style="color:#663366;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226396290567261538" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif9de80iSydukEH9u3BM3EEmK6EADNs5ANJ1buI3mgp9ws5ttB5sm3DdPw76MZEdj4-safKUWCac-CZSHUMPVPzpI8ccxxEIE8IJp-vpRyFxHLZNVL2roGIUucMH-cPF4QFk2Nnt7mxy2p/s320/P7060132.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#663366;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3tLEr7wlW30iazpCEfgT9KplP3z8tZ-ybSNI18k1fCCRGOlhIUiDURvDYniIT0ztjfVQJc_ropNF2gOiNxiVFd-7-Owh6_aBvlgNnryuIVhdPSosa_YerSGY52kWc8jLHYhfDGSxr8NRd/s1600-h/P7060135.JPG"><span style="color:#663366;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226396295980176898" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3tLEr7wlW30iazpCEfgT9KplP3z8tZ-ybSNI18k1fCCRGOlhIUiDURvDYniIT0ztjfVQJc_ropNF2gOiNxiVFd-7-Owh6_aBvlgNnryuIVhdPSosa_YerSGY52kWc8jLHYhfDGSxr8NRd/s320/P7060135.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#663366;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-TfvaLaLqyVKzoV_driRj2kv4h5RQ8TZRmNQCpEvqORmaGppf50KQmEWhBAgigE3lz17H1TiVB72v7tUPM5GKuoc0vYyHjzBdcQD48PcrZFTgtvE_dI2v19tb5q3HpWsKCvlLDayiO4RM/s1600-h/P7150156.JPG"><span style="color:#663366;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226396300794355266" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-TfvaLaLqyVKzoV_driRj2kv4h5RQ8TZRmNQCpEvqORmaGppf50KQmEWhBAgigE3lz17H1TiVB72v7tUPM5GKuoc0vYyHjzBdcQD48PcrZFTgtvE_dI2v19tb5q3HpWsKCvlLDayiO4RM/s320/P7150156.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#663366;"><br /></span><div><span style="color:#663366;">Well, the list came out.

She just turned 6mths old earlier this week and she thinks she's alot older than she really is.</span></p>Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464934245582698129.post-68085716459313070642008-05-12T20:57:00.000-07:002008-12-08T15:06:55.866-08:00Active little booger..<span style="color:#663366;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199710472974383778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUvVkW23DxpONKjpJ1yQEGWcpAxhCm0nU7Ss_6nOQZaIsMGLQxcXojfrvzJU3YEyuBMAyYfZyQVPe7QkbfZ-sQH-hc3JoLzn_gcX2ajN7cv30KVmtnK5wPMis2hFa7mIkBlXaHL9dYOZN-/s320/P5020013+(600+x+450).jpg" border="0" /><br /></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFAmLeiKKolWotUORz2jc_NHv1-DG3Poq_y8GLbAwhsVflTux7MzlW4h7IAPn6qcw1pMp_9VKm1jYk8xPlm5shrXnsGuney25mQHueCIckgQ96J4yGGd7W3lFEqCywKEJ3c39zPl637lW/s1600-h/P5060014+(600+x+450).jpg"><span style="color:#663366;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199710305470659218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFAmLeiKKolWotUORz2jc_NHv1-DG3Poq_y8GLbAwhsVflTux7MzlW4h7IAPn6qcw1pMp_9VKm1jYk8xPlm5shrXnsGuney25mQHueCIckgQ96J4yGGd7W3lFEqCywKEJ3c39zPl637lW/s320/P5060014+(600+x+450).jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#663366;"><br /><br /></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzK-H9fgJPrHUNFuK394PN4sRGurZQ-X19wVChEkVCQIb11rhniz-pn40PSPMvq27WqYQ_uXygdX9O2ko7a_dVrmP9d7AhWYux6QRADmduzeXZGetjYotz-3oc17f3Ku0D-kWV7JAJCXdD/s1600-h/P5060016+(600+x+450).jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;">Well, Elizabeth isn't crawling yet. But does that stop her from moving around? Heck no, she's learned that by rolling over and over and over she can go whether she pleases. Most of the time she ends up in the entertainment center, but Saturday I was sitting on the couch and somehow she managed to roll about 4-5 ft underneath the coffee table to my feet so she could play with my toes. It startled me, and when I looked down, there she was looking up at me through the glass smiling away :) Needless to say she's been sentenced to her "prison" (her pack-n-play) for the time being until we can get the house baby-proofed.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;">She's saying quite a few words now. Mainly bah-bah and da-da but sometimes she'll manage to get out a mum-a. Of course, she doesn't know what these words mean but its still cute :) She's also started learning baby sign language at the babysitters and here at home.... so far we're teaching her hi/bye..mom..dad..love..eat..drink..all done..more.. and I swear she knows hi/bye and dad but whether or not its clicked to her what shes saying I'm highly doubtful at this stage seeing as how we just started not to long ago.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;">Other than that, nothing much is going on.. She turns 6mths next week, crazy to think about! And the snow has finally all melted and its been in the 60s during the day, 40s in the morning, absolute gorgeous weather!</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;">Hope everyone's doing good.

I figured this would be a good way for everyone to see Elizabeth grow up since we're 6000 miles away right now.<br /><br />Not too much to say at the moment, she just turned 5mths old! So hard to believe, seems like just yesterday I was pregnant! Elizabeth and I just made a trip back to Arkansas for 2 weeks, and let me tell you, man time flies when you're not working! :) All three of us, yes even Daddy, will be back through Arkansas for a visit in November when we're heading to our next base. We'll find out where we're going in July-August time frame.<br /><br />Hope everyone is doing good, I'll definately have to keep this thing updated.<br /><br />Things that Elizabeth is doing now:<br /><br /></span><ul><br /><li><span style="color:#663366;">She just learned to roll over from her back to stomach</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#663366;">She's trying to crawl</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#663366;">She loves to talk or atleast she thinks she is...</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#663366;">She seems to be trying to cut some teeth, she's drooling all the time, and can't seem to get enough of chewing on whatever she can get her hands on</span></li></ul><br /><p><span style="color:#663366;"></span></p></div>Shoe Sharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461205718899796986noreply@blogger.com0
