Nintendo Wii.............

Ok I know it is going to sound funny but this game has me hooked! My nephew Michael bought this with his birthday money. He brought it home and we were over for the day so we started to play. Oh my goodness, talk about fun..................we played bowling (my favorite), baseball and they played boxing. This game is so realistic you really feel like you are bowling, I love it. I want one so bad to play with Abe but he has never played it, I think he is the only husband I know who is not into video games! I won't get one but I tell ya I'm like a kid playing it and can't stop, LOL. Abby sits next to us and cheers for us it is so cute. Have any of you played this or do your children have them? They are very expensive but they are fun. It really was like I was at the bowling alley with my nephews, but it is not so fun when my 4 year old nephew Matthew beats me LOLOLOL. I'll never live that down.

Memorial Day..........

Well this is a day that means aot to Abe, he spent 8 years in the Marine Corp and I was lucky to have 5 years of my life spent as a Marine wife (you know the saying MARINE WIFE HARDEST JOB IN THE CORP!!) I have a mug that says that LOL. I know my husband was meant to spend his life as a Marine but with a very hard circumstance that happened in our lives he was no longer able to continue his career. He will always and forever be a Marine in his heart and I love him for that! We think back on these days and think of the people that serve our country and think they really have given everything of themselves and their families. We have friends that are serving in Iraq, Abe's brother Christan served in the Army in Iraq until he was hurt and could no longer be there...... my brother served in the Air Force and was called back to duty when the war started and I was sooo worried but he only had to fill a spot at Nellis in Vegas. We have a friend (Stravers) who was on his second time in Iraq and I stop and think......Oh my goodness if Abe was still in he would be over there NO DOUBT, he was in charge of the lists to go from his command. I tell you I cried alot of tears for him not being in but as shameful as it sounds I am thankful because I could have lost him and I don't know what I would do without him. So on that I will say to our close friends that are there (Ron), we love you and hope you come home safe, GOD BLESS you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is such a angel!!

I just had to share this awesome picture of my baby girl.............she loves her Minnie Mouses and she calls them "baby".

OOOOHHH my goodness!!!

Ok, now I said I would keep posting updating our progress with baby and I am soooo excited because I took another test and it is definately positive!!!!! I am in disbelief still, I'm trying to wrap my mind around this. We have tried for so long and only dreamt this would happen once and now it is happening twice!! I don't know what to do I feel like doing flips.............thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers, we appreciate it soooo much. Now I need to go to the dr. which is not fun because this time they are going to make me see the specialist because of my heart (Vasovagal syncope) problem...........so they will make me see
the Cardiologist (no fun). Anyways bottom line I feel very blessed, so I will keep you posted.

Live and Learn..........

So I'm sure we have all done things we wish we could take back or make right.........well I feel very blessed because I was given the chance to make something right. I knew I girl from high school and she dated my boyfriends brother, she went to a different school etc. We dated the brothers for years and did alot of thing together camping at the beach, mountain trips etc. and the whole time we disliked each other. Could we tell you why? I don't think so, I try to think back and for the life of me I can not remember..........how silly we could have been friends but instead we spent our time together avoiding each other and making everyone around us uncomfortable. I tell ya high school is so crazy if I only knew then what I know now my life would have been soooo much easier. I think it is so unfortunate but thru a friend yesterday I had the opportunity to set it free and we e-mailed each other and have forgiven each other.......what a great feeling.
I strive to try and do right with the things I have done wrong if given the chance and I am very thankful to her for the forgiveness she has given me. So to Michelle I say thank you so much for being so gracious.

Thanks for your well wishes

Well we wanted to thank everyone for your well wishes with our fertility process. We did another try May 12th..... and like a very impatient person I took a couple tests and they were positive only to realize it was the horm in my system. So I have taken a couple test s the last couple of days and see a slight line so we are praying this is it.......:-) I don't know what we will do if it is twins.......ooohhh my goodness, would that be something LOLOLOL. Then we really would be finished. Anyways as we find out things I will post it for you guys. Thanks again for your prayers and thoughts we really appreciate it.

American Idol..........

Ok.......so I am a fan of the show and for the last couple years my favorites have won..BUT this year my favorite Chris Richardson got kicked off so then I was voting for Melinda and now she was voted off. Now I know that alot of people like Blake and I do like that he is different and does not play by the Idol rules but I can't bring myself to really push for him or Jordin. I know that Chris and Melinda will get record deals but I would have loved to see one of them win. So now I have spent all these weeks watching and I don't care about the top two........what a bummer!!

What a wonderful mothers day

Well I had such a beautiful mothers day, I woke up from sleeping in to find Abby and daddy had gone to get me breakfast........I love McDonalds breakfast. They come back so excited to give me my breakfast and we got ready and went to my brothers for the day for a BBQ. We had a great time Abby played in my nephews water table she LOVED it!!! It was a wonderful day just like everyother day I spend with my family, and it is always good to get 3 pounds of Sees chocolate.....Abe gets carried away everytime with Sees LOLOLOLOL. I hope you all had the best day and you were spoiled by your loving family.

Happy Birthday sweet Ashlyn

My best friend Evies got three beautiful children and I am so sad that we live so far apart that I only get to be around them couple times a year. I miss birthdays special school days etc.............. I remember being there when Ashlyn was born and I got to stay with her at the Naval hospital while Brian stayed with Evie..........I also remember taking care of her while her brother was being born. One of the best memories is holding her while she was soooo small and I was blowing gum bubbles in her face and they would pop and she would let out this amazing laugh and I felt so proud because Evie said that was her first out loud laugh :-) I was the BIG auntie Julie for sure LOLOLOL. Anyways it is her birthday and she is the such a big girl now and soooo beautiful and loves American Girl stuff so thats what we got her. So I just wanted to give a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Ashlyn Marie Bauman, we love you so much.

Whats going on......................

Well I went to get my hair done last night which seems like I am constantly there, thats what I get for having so many colors in my hair LOLOL. Anyways my friend Vicki was getting her hair done at the same time with me so we got to hang out fun, fun, fun. Well Vicki saw a really beautiful picture on the girls station next to Carlys and said wow that picture is really beautiful and Carly said "oh that is a sad story" so of course you think oh gosh I don't want to be sad........I am so emotional right now :-(. So she tells us the story that the girls boyfriend said I'm gonna go have a drink with their friends and she said ok and kissed him goodbye...
Well I guess some "guys" at the bar said something to the friends wife and they asked them to leave her alone and right on the dance floor the guy shot her boyfriend and the started kicking him when he hit the floor........she is pregnant and is in denial that he is gone. Carly hears her telling her clients that they want to have kids and talks like he is alive........ It is so sad, I just want to know what is going on in this world, that we can't just go anywhere anymore without worrying someone could hurt us or our loved ones?????? I am very nervous all the time, I trust in the Lord completely but know I have to do my part and I just can't stand to hear this stuff, it really makes me think I need to shelter my child as much as possible!!!!! Just wanted to get that off my chest because I can't get it out of my mind.

Always in my heart

Well it has been a hard couple of months with all our fertility appointments etc....... the hormones are the worst part of it. What comes out of it is just a blessing so it is worth it BUT when I do go thru these times of feeling down I always come back to missing my dog Myles, everyone knows he was like our child for so long and now that he is gone I can't stop my heart from hurting. I miss him sooo much. I wish Abby could have known him longer and they could have played, he was the best and we miss him dearly........so heres to you Myles I love ya!!!!!!!!!!
