The other day Wesley was fighting his nap like crazy so we put him in his seat and took him for a ride. I had no clue where we were but the scenery was pretty and relaxing, open fields, horses, cows and old run down barns and country roads. It was nice to be out and not know where i was for a little while just getting away and enjoying a ride in the jeep the sun was starting to go down on one side of us and the moon was starting to come up on the other it was beautiful out.
Well during the drive and seeing the horses it reminded me of a time when an old friend and I went with another old friend to ride her horse, well she was injured so we had to get her horse for her..we had no clue where they were so we just started watching in the pasture up hills and over to tree lines and all over the place we finally got to the top of the hill and found the horse well then the challenge was getting him down off the hill so we could ride him, when we finally got them down off the hill then it was like a game trying to catch that horse was a challenge thats for sure, that was my first experience with anything like that, but it was funny (not at the time) but once we finally got the horse none of us wanted to ride after all of that.
good times, good times.
Thats one thing I will say, I have had some good times here, whether they have lasted or not. I have had many memorable moments and many learning experiences while we have been here.
thats all for now!!
God Bless!

an army crawler
Baby Wesley has started army crawling, that same day he started seeing what all he could get in to. Lets just say he wasn't happy when somethings were taken out of reach. We have a fish tank in our living room he absolutely loves to lay on the floor and watch the fishies or sometimes i will hold him in front of the tank and he will try to get grab them as they swim by the front of the glass. Hes also in a mimicking stage where he wants to do everything you do. I snap my fingers then he tries to snap his fingers. we shake our head at him and he shakes his head back at us. He is also learning to wave bye bye! And hes already starting to try to pull himself up on things. Hes just too smart for his own good! Hes a goofy little guy!! We've been mixing up his foods a little to see what things he likes and doesnt like, we stick with one kind a week. The only food he doesnt really seem to care for is his carrots, but the others he does great with, and he loves mashed potatoes. Hes definitely a growing little boy! Two days ago my baby boy turned six months, it most definitely does not seem like I had him 6 months ago, he has grown and changed sooo much its unbelievable!!
Gosh i just love him so much!!
well its time to feed my little ham so he can watch WWE with his daddy!
Til next time!!
God Bless!

date night
Yesterday our friend Ciarra and her husband watched Wesley for us for just about he whole day. We took him over to their house at 10:30, Rob stayed for a little while then left because he had to take his buddy to pick up a car somewhere. I stayed til about 12:15 then left to get pictures done, which lasted til four because the photographer did my hair and make-up also, which was a neat experiences. Rob and I then had a date night consisting of dinner and a movie, we went to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays then went to see the movie MAMA. Multiple times during the movie we asked each other if we should just leave and pick Wesley up and go home, but we ended up staying for the whole thing and regretting it after, it definitely wasn't as good as we thought it would be. When we picked up baby Wesley he was sound asleep. They did an amazing job with him and since i was there a little bit I got to see how they were with him wish made leaving him easier, that was our first date night and my first day away from my baby! It also helped that she sent me pictures and updates!! It was nice it get out just the hubby and I we most definitely needed it, not that Wesley is a crazy child or anything he barely gives us any trouble at all but we needed it for us. Im glad we did it!

updates
Its been a while since I've blogged, i was going to go threw and put in everything i missed, but that would take me for ever. So i thought id just do updates in this one.
Life as changed that's for sure. My little man will be 6 months in a week and one day, i cant believe he is already that old, hes growing way to fast! We found out we will be going back home sooner than we thought - well Wesley and I will be at least, hubby got Korea orders again for a year. We've done it before but I think this time it will be harder with us having a baby and being married this time around. But we will get to be with family again and they can watch our little man grow!! We will be celebrating his first birthday about 2 months early so that daddy can be there also!
Babyboys six month checkup is next month and if they still hear his murmur then they said they will get him another apt to get it checked out just to make sure they don't see anything this time around! He sure is growing soo fast, he has recently started to army crawl, i love it..the cutest thing ever! He eats his baby food really well we get him stage 21/2 (textured baby food) he seems to eat it better. He has made two new friends recently Mason and Jack. Both boys that I have babysat. He sure gets a lot of attention and loves ever bit of it!! (he definitely gets that from his daddy!!) I honestly could not have asked for a better baby, this little guy is amazing he isn't fussy and loves to cuddle such a sweet heart! I would be lost without my baby and his daddy, they are great!!
Yesterday was baby Wesley's first valentines day, we got him a stuffed puppy with a red bow, I wish it could have been the real deal but we'll save that for when he can understand and really get excited about it!!
We recently did our taxes and hope to pay off a lot of bills and build our credit a little more so we can get a house when we go home so Rob has a home to go back to when he gets out of Korea We have already found a few that we like, and they are very realistic in price and size for us, so we shall see, its in a couple more months so we'll see whats on the market then, and hopefully actually be able to go look at them!
well little man is getting sleepy and hes not feeling the best so its time to go and take care of him!
God Bless!!

a special heart
Babyboy did so good today, We had to take him to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville today so they could check his heart. Last week they were listening to his heart at his apt for his two month shots and the said they heard a murmur which they heard one other time and were suppose to bring up at this apt esp if they still heard it, and they did..so they did an ekg and a chest x-ray right after hearing it, nothing was abnormal but just in case they scheduled us and apt at vandy, which is what we did today. So today They did an ultrasound of his heart then did another ekg...they said everything looked fine then they listened to his heart and heard the murmur and said that it sounded like he may have a hole in his heart so they did another ultrasound of his heart to make sure they didn't miss anything, they didn't find anything again so they said he just has a murmur and that everything is fine! ♥ which of course i am extremely glad to hear, but i feel like if it sounded as though there was a hole in his heart doesn't that mean there probably is one!? i dont know, it just makes me nervous of course because that's is my baby!!
it was funny to watch him while they did the ultrasound on his heart, because he would get loud when the colors were on the screen..he noticed the louder he got the more red and blue would appear on the screen.

growing and learning
My life has been changed by the presence of one tiny little boy! He amazes me a little more everyday! He has already grown soo much, i cant even believe it. He isnt even three months yet and he is already holding and shaking his rattle, he is able to lay on his tummy and hold his head up and turn it from one side to the other, and he is rolling over from his tummy to his back already, and at times he likes to be a biggy big boy and hold his own bottle! Seriously he needs to slow down he's already barely needing his momma, i cant imagine when hes able to walk and talk and only need me for bath time and to read him a book good night... i love that he needs me! He is such a ham, he smiles and flirts - he definitely knows he's a cutie, everyone just loves him. He hates when his daddy hands him over to me when hes fighting sleep because he knows thats one battle that he never wins when mommy has him. He's a sucker for his mommy thats for sure! He loves bath time with his daddy! He has a friend who is just nine days older than him, it is soo cute to watch them two together as they look at each other and talk and smile, god knows what their saying but its just too funny the way they go back and forth with each other!! At the end of the month we are hopefully going back home for a visit where he will meet soo many people he is going to end up being spoiled from all of the holding that i am sure is going to happen, but its okay!
Well its time to feed my little bear!
more to come!
God Bless!

N.B.P.M
Im sure you are wondering what N.B.P.M stands for...well let me tell you- National Bullying Prevention Month. Yup welcome to October, bullying prevention awareness month!
Bullying is something that 99% of us have all endured at some point in our lives, whether we like to admit it or not. I will be the first to say that i have been on both ends of bullying...not so much that i did the bullying myself but i sat there and watched people get bullied in fear that if i spoke up it would turn around and be directed towards me. Needless to say i have been bullied quite a bit in my life, about things like my big eyes, or my clothing choice when i was younger, to my size - height and weight and so much more.
Well here is what i say to that...We all have our own story, and i am not about to let somebody write mine for me!
When i was in 4th grade people would make fun of me for two things..one was the size of my eyes people would walk around saying "shut your eyes" the reason being that they said my eyes were creepy because they were so big. Honestly if you would ask me whats one thing i like about myself i would say my eyes, i like that they are big, i always have! Another thing i would get made fun of for was my clothing choice..not that i really had a choice i was small i was wearing a 6x in 4th grade, and when your wearing clothes that small your options are limited to little mermaid (that was one of the outfits i would get picked on for wearing) and things like that.
Then middle school came around, and i got picked on for my size. People would pick on me for my height whcih didnt really bug me because there is nothing i could have possibly done to change my height. People would pick on me for my weight they would call me anorexic, even my close friends would. Some had even called my mom and told her that they thought i was anorexic and that she should do something about it. I was a cheerleader in middle school and playing basketball and softball i was active, i didnt do anything unhealthy in order to be small. I have always been a small girl, i cant help it no matter how hard i try.
Then came high school, nothing more than the usual things..but i was mainly picked on for one thing and that would be my size...here we go again with the anorexic comments. But by this time i had heard it all through middle school and now high school too..Well at this point i had heard it enough and i had really started letting it get to me. I started to think that maybe all these anorexic comments were people slick way of telling me i was fat, although i really knew i wasnt...my mind had a sick way of tricking myself..i stopped eating breakfast and skipping lunch then eating just a little for dinner if i ate at all. Or i would skip breakfast and eat lunch so my friends wouldnt say anything about me not eating then skip dinner. Then it got to where i was getting bad headaches everyday so then my mom had me log what i was eating so i started eating more again thinking that was the reason for my headaches well it didnt cure them so i quickly went back to my old habbits..then i even started thinking what if i just ate then later made my self purge maybe then i would feel a little better because id be eating and not having a hedache at school. Well that thought quickly passed for i knew i didnt have it in me to make myself get sick plus i dont enjoy throwing up so there was no way i was about to do that to myself. then i met rob he knew what i was doing as far as not eating goes we started dating and he started talking to me about being good to yourself no matter what others say and think..it doesnt matter as long as i am happy with me. He would ask me when the last time i ate was and i would be honest he wouldnt hold back, he would tell me i was stupid and i needed to treat myself better than i was. Then he soon started to call me or text me after every meal to make sure i ate he would ask when i ate what i ate and how much. Most would think that was annoying but i didnt it was nice to me, he was showing me that he cared and wasnt just going to turn his back on what i was doing. He was determined to help me, and to make me want to help myself!
Looking back now i realize that was dumb of me to let people get to me on that level. I wasnt helping myself i was only hurting myself. But im glad i have had such strong people to help pick me back up when i fall!
I have recently heard a few similar stories to these from a few other whom i am close to, it really hits ya hard when it happens to others so close! When i heard what was going on it broke my heart, and i instantly wanted to help! Right now i am working on making some hoodies (since it is hoody weather now) to help spread awareness to bullying! If you are interested in one they are $36 plus shipping, (since i am designing them online.) just message me on here or facebook and ill let you know how you too can help spread awareness! They are simple and to the point!
You hear of cases like demi lovatos- a famous disney star/singer, you look at her and what she has gone through and you look at what she turned to as a quick release and your shocked and wonder what this world has come to..how could such a young girl feel like that was the only way to turn. - So many others have turned to that same thing and them some for that same reason- BULLYING! So lets help put a stop to it! Like i said before We all have our own story, please dont let somebody write yours for you!
