OMG, it's been a month already??

Whoops!  Lost track of the days, sorry about that:)

Let's see...what's been going on?...Well, I'm just gonna list them from the last month...
Here we go:

*We got a "new" car...1998 Dodge Durango!
*We got rid of our POS 1992 BMW (we will NEVER own a Beamer again)!
*We finally got a new dryer...ours crapped out and it took about 3 weeks for maintenance to get us another one.
*I celebrated my 30th birthday on Oct. 15th!
*We found out that "Bakin" is most definitely a boy!!  His name is Alexander Scott...aka Lex!
*We bought a new Graco Travel System for Lex!
*We have a closet full of new clothes for baby Lex and are awaiting all the hand-me-downs from the fam back in the States!
*I am learning how to solve a Rubiks Cube!!  LOL:)
*I think it is safe to say that Zac is FINALLY, officially and completely potty trained!!!!  WTG ZAC!!!
*I can legally drive in Germany now and it feels GREAT!!  I've missed driving...it's been since May 10th that I drove last, so I feel liberated again!!
*JR got his Dress Blue Class A's!!  He looks nice and spiffy in them!!!
*Benny lost his first tooth on Oct. 30th!!  The Tooth Fairy gave him $5.00 for it, he was too excited!!!
*We had a fun Halloween!  Ben started out as a Phantom and then changed to a Vampire (Eddy Munster style!! LOL) and Zac was a Vampire/Zombie (he didn't want to wear his cape!)!
*We found out that Ben is far-sighted (his vision is 20/25 though) and will be wearing glasses for at least the next year to see if he out grows it!  Anything to help him out!:)  He looks so handsome in them too!!
*Christmas is 7.5 weeks away and our shopping is about done!!!!!

Now I'm gonna try to post pics on here...it didn't want to work the last time I tried so **fingers crossed**!!                                           YAY!!!  IT WORKED THIS TIME!!!

Until next time...

Story of a dream

So I had an interesting dream last night that I know many people would love for it to become reality!


I dreamt that JR received last minute orders to return to C co back at Ft. Drum, NY!  He got them because they needed him to deploy with them because he knows what he is doing and the majority (excluding those who know who they are) of soldiers in that company are idiots!!  HAHA!!!  Now for the best part...our Ellises let us move in until we get housing!!  


How freaking awesome would that be??  Not the being deployed part, but being back in the states, close to family and friends living with the Ellises and mini-Ellises for awhile!!!


We miss everyone lots and lots!!


Gotta go hit the Commissary so I'm gonna hop off here!  C Ya!!

House full of sickies:(

So the boys and I went to the doctors today because we were all hackin' and coughin' up lungs, not to mention runny noses and sneezing:(  It turns out we all have bronchitis...except for JR??!!  I don't understand how the only smoker in the house escaped this??!!  LOL:)  Anyhoo, Ben and Zac were given inhalers to help with chest tightness and nose spray for runny/stuffed up noses.  They couldn't give me an inhaler because it can cause a rise in blood pressure which is def. not needed/wanted!  So I have to cope with the symptoms, but they did give me a sinus clearing rinse (oh joy)!!  The Dr. also prescribed me Ranitidine for the killer heartburn I've been having...I mean, I could literally melt stuff with my breath, that's how hot it's been in my chest and throat!  Not much fun! :(


Now, on a happy thought...I am 31 weeks along with this pregnancy today!!  Happy 31 weeks "Bakin"!!!  


Um, not much else to say soooooo, BYE!

My first blog EVER!!!

It will probably be obvious that I have never blogged before!!  I hope this blog will be a good way for our families to keep UTD with us while we are so far away!!

Following JR's army career, we moved to Germany in May!  We are enjoying it little by little.  It is more expensive here than in the States (the exchange rate is like 0.80 Euro to the US $1.00)..bleh, so we haven't traveled out of Germany yet!  It is beautiful here though, I can't get enough of the scenery as we drive up and down the autobahn...it's simply breathtaking!!

*And since the uploaded is being stupid, you'll just have to visualize the scenery here!

So, as my profile says, I am an army wife and mother of 2 handsome boys (Ben, 5 and Zac, 4!)!  Preggo with baby #3 (our last baby)!!  We are not sure what gender the baby is.  The ultrasounds I've had said girl, then boy and now they're not sure!  I believe it's another baby boy!!  "Bakin" is due to arrive Dec. 3rd and we can't wait!!

I think this is enough for my first blog!  I am going to try to keep this updated as often as possible (I def. cannot guarantee everyday, LOL)!!

**Sarah Ellis, you have officially sucked me in!**  hahaha

Since it is almost 8 pm here, I will say good night now!!  Good Night all!!
