First Tooth!!

Brecken had a molar pop out a little while ago but it went back down. Now he has his front bottom tooth!! He was a lot worse then Taylor was when teething. Just proof that woman can handle more pain :) Anyways yeah he popped it a couple of weeks ago but I just finally got a picture.

Busy Busy Busy!!

Yeah it has been a few eh? Well yeah. I have been so busy and it cracks me up because I only have 2 kids. Sundays we start off the week with some church. Then it is FOOTBALL!!! The Broncos are 6-0!! I am usually trying to get my homework in by midnight too. Then monday it is up at 5 a.m. for a shower and the kids are usually up at 6. So I get up and make them breakfast...Cheerios and fruit for Brecken with a side of bottle. Then Taylor gets fruit, eggs, bacon and a waffle. Then I make both their lunches. I know....a 10 month old and a 3 year old and I am already making lunches. Then it is getting them dressed and out the door for school. They both go on monday so I am so excited for mondays!! Plus they stay for lunch which is an extra hour. I come home and clean and get laundry going after a 2 mile walk with Bunker. Back to pick them up...home for naps. Daddy gets home about 4:30 and I am off making dinner. After dinner Taylor has dance. We all get home and put everybody to bed while I work out. Tuesday is my off day so I schedule appointments that day for kids...I haven't had a tuesday off yet. After appointments we come home for naps and dinner and then 2 mile walk and bath while mommy works out and to bed. Wednesdays we take Taylor to school. Pizza day so i do not have to make a lunch. Then I usually go to bible study until I have to pick Taylor up. Back home for naps and then same thing...dinner, walk, workout and bed. Thursdays are fun. Mommies group then lunch out usually. Home...naps, dinner, walk, bath, workout and bed. Friday Taylor has school.....then repeat. Naps, dinner, walk, workout and bed. Saturdays are dance and WOW group but we are home by noon doing fun family stuff. Very very busy but I totally thrive off of it and love it!! Being a mom and wife is definitely what I was meant to do. Plus I have to cook, farm, build amusement parks and do my duties as a Mafia member. Yeah life is busy.

Brecken went to his appointment. He is a lot more behind then the doctor wants him to be so pray. If he does not catch up in the next 3 months we will be starting to evaluate him. My thyroid is getting worse so I will go back in to get tested again in three months.

Doug is getting deployed in January. Yeah he just got home so this is a real bummer. He is signing a waiver to cut his dwell time short...which means they can deploy him even though they just got him back here. He will be getting home next summer again but he will be putting in his Officer packet so that means more time here for a while and more money and possibly moving again. All in a days work with the Army. Other than that I am loving it!!

God has been so good and faithful to us. We have everything and more that we wanted in life and we are only 26. I love that it is only going to get better!

Newest Tyson Update

The surgery went amazingly well! Thank you for all of your prayers! They were able to remove the blockage and put in a catheter. The only problem we encountered was that they gave him some medicine rectally that burned his butt. Poor kiddo has been miserable with the worst rash ever.

We have to go in for a similar surgery on October 23rd, complete with anesthesia. So, the trend of surgeries has begun. Thank you so much for all of your continued love and support!

Love,
Pete, Annie & Tyson

Did you know....

that I rock? Yep. Anyways not a whole lot going on here. Just a little update for everyone. Let us see. Taylor is doing great in her preschool class. She loves it and mommy loves my me and Brecken time. Brecken still goes on Mondays and he seems to be really liking it now...which is good because then that is me time. Taylor brings home art stuff she has done everyday. I am really loving the 3 year old age. 2 was really hard. Taylor did the terrible 2s and now she is a ton of fun at 3. She says the funniest things and it cracks me up how old she seems. Brecken is getting to that fun age where he holds on to you when you hold him and is really starting to show his personality which is looking like mine. Taylor is more like Doug in so many ways. I threw him up n the air today and he busted out laughing. He has done this inhale giggle thing (which is really funny. Taylor was always a high pitched giggle.) I have never heard him laugh like that. Plus he is just way more cuddly then before. He has been rolling all over the place...finally. I was a little worried. Taylor was crawling by this age. He can sit up but not for long which bums me out since Taylor could but he is progressing which makes me feel better. He is also teething really bad:( He is so close to popping his bottom tooth. I wish it would just hurry!! He is on solid foods more then formula. He sits in a high chair and a cart now!! He is just getting so big and I remember my favorite age was 9-18 months with Taylor so I am going to take this all in!! He will be 9 months on Monday!!

What else....Jock still has that thing on the back of his leg but he is walking normal. We are going to take him in and get it checked again. It is shrinking though. Bunker is as big as ever and just as hyper.

Doug is back in the swing of things. He is slotted for the February deployment which we are really hoping he does not go on. He wants to g on the August deployment. It is a mission he has never done and if he does it then he has done all Psy Op missions. He will be dropping his officer packet when he gets home from this next deployment. Yep...he is going career. I am glad he is. I would love to move somewhere cool but at the same time we have been here for 5 years and made good friends and gotten into the community which would suck to start all over. I don't know and I do not want to deal with it....Jesus take the wheel.

Well that is it. We had some people ask and no we are not pregnant and no we are not trying. Although we are not preventing so whatever happens...we will be happy with. We would love to add a couple more but we are also very content with the 2 beautiful kids we have :)
