Ty's 1st Birthday

So It finally happened, our baby turned 1!!!!!!!! I just can not believe how fast the time went. The past 12 months have been the most challenging yet rewarding months of my life. I can not wait to watch Ty grow up and eventually see another baby do the same! :)

We had an exciting days planned for Ty. First we went to our Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. My friend Heather put it together for everyone. We showed up a little late, but just in time for the egg hunt! After that, we came home and had Ty's first birthday party. We had about 35 people over (yes, a little overwhelming), but fun! Chad's parents made it along with Dana, Jamie, Addison and Hunter. Most everyone else works with Chad or lives in the neighborhood. We had a great time. Monday, Ty's actual birthday, we had some pizza (his favorite) and took him our for his first ice cream home!!! We had a wonderful evening together as a family!

Thinking...

As I sit here watching 4 children, yes 4 children, (Ty along with 3 others, Nicole, Josh and Caroline, a coworkers of Chad couldn't find a sitter for the UTA weekend, so I volunteered to watch them) I wonder how many children we will have one day. I was also thinking about this last night as I sat and watched Supper Nanny (one of my favorite shows). Chad and I have discussed trying for number 2, but I am not sure I am quite ready for that. We have not even hit the toddler stage, and to have that along with a newborn, would be a bit crazy! But then I think of the other side, the first year would be hard, but then they would be able to play together. That would be great! I am hoping for about 28 month apart, but Chad wants exactly 2 years! Who knows. As of now, I am hoping to find out if a deployment or an assignment is happening in the Fall. Once we know that info, maybe I will feel a little better about trying for #2. I guess either way it doesn't matter, we def want more children, and it will happen when it is supposed to! :)

March...

So there are LOTS of things to look forward to this month.
1) the weather is finally starting to get nice! 55 this Friday and Saturday. I think I can finally start my daily walks with Ty after school, and finally loose another 5lbs.

2) Ty is turning 1!!!! at the end of the month we are having a birthday party for him! :) I am sooo excited about it. Chad's family is coming to town and we are having some friends over!

3) March Maddness

4) Mustach March....or NOT!

I guess that is about it, but still exciting to me!!
