My loves...





I never imagined that I could have so much love for these 2 sweet little babies!! They are truly the light of my eyes!! I love the way they love each other.. I love the way that LA will take a toy to Cash if he is fussing or if he gets hurts she is the first one over saying "It's okay big boy!" I love the way his eyes light up when she decides that she wants to play with him. The twinkle in his eyes and the smile on his face are priceless!! I love the way Cash looks at LA and tries to talk and only jibberish comes out and LA will look at me and say "Mommy what's he saying?, He's being silly again!" I love the way that LA wants to feed Cash his bottle!! I Love how this little girl will look up at me when I'm putting her to bed and say"Good night Mommy...the end.. I love you!" Melts my heart every time. I love the way this little boy like to snuggle with me.. I especially love when he decides that he needs to take a nap with me! ;) I even love how busy they keep me running around after them! Have I told you how much I LOVE these 2!?!

My sweet sweet Lily Ann..




This picture says it ALL!!! This little girl also holds my heart in the palms of her little hands!! What can I say about this little firecracker!?! She is truly pure entertainment 24/7!! Or as Eddie calls her sweet&sour! She will be sweet one minute and then the next minute she is sour!! LOL!! I can't believe she will be 3 in a couple of months. It blows my mind! She is so smart and she knows it! She is our little actress! LA started speaking with a British accent about 6 months ago! And when I say a British accent I mean a British accent. We would have people stopping us just to hear her talk.. Of course I am her Mommy and am around her 24/7 so I never really heard it until I went back and was watching some of her videos.. Well now that sweet British accent has been replaced with a deep southern accent.. HAHAHA!! I am not kidding either! Like I said pure entertainment.. She is my little helper! Loves loves loves to help me clean and take care of Cash! She is such a help and truly keeps me laughing ALL day long!!

My little Cashman!!




This little man holds a huge piece of my heart in his tiny little hands!! He is honestly my sweet baby boy! He is still a Mommy's boy and I LOVE every minute of it! He is doing so much now. No don't worry he's not crawling (even though he will be 1 in less than 2 weeks!)he can roll and army crawl to get there faster! He is pulling up and cruising around his "cage"(play yard). He is starting to eat table food and loves it!! I have to really watch because LA is such a great big sis that she will take it upon herself to try and feed him her food! ;) He still takes 4 7oz bottles a day. We are working on the sippy cup but he really doesn't care too much for it. Lets face it! This little man just started holding his own bottle!! Yes, you read that right.. We(our family) have been trying to get him to hold it for months and he would refuse. I would even lay it on his belly and let him scream thinking that eventually he would grab it but no he wouldn't!! Wouldn't you know as soon as Jacob got home from his last deployment he says "I'll get him to hold his bottle!!" His Mom and I laughed saying yeah right... Good luck! Sure enough Jacob handed him the bottle and he took it no questions asked.. You should have seen the look on Jacob's face when he did this. I'm glad that at least Jacob got in one of Cash's first! ;) Although Cash looks big he's only 21 lbs. (40% for age)and 29 1/2 inches long (64% for his age) I was shocked when I took him in for his 9 month check up, 2 weeks ago! ;) In less than 2 weeks my baby is going to be a year old! I honestly can't believe it!! Where has the time gone!?!

Has it really been that long...

I got on here figuring I should update since it has been a while.. But now I am sad because my last post was in November of last year. To say the least we have been so busy since then.. Life with an almost 3 year old and an almost 1 year old is very hectic and honestly at the end of the day I am exhausted and posting a blog is the last thing on my mind.. But today that changes.. I will make at least 1 post a week from here on out. My babies are growing up so fast and are doing so many things that I easily forget. And I don't want to miss on second of these sweet babies lives.

Like I said the past 8 months have been very busy. The babies(Yes they are my babies, I refuse to believe that they are growing up! ;) )and I have been in Arkansas for about 7 of those months. Yes that is right.. We have actually been with Jacob maybe 6 weeks out of the past 8 months! We are enjoying this short time that we have with him now! (only 45 days)By the time that he gets back from this next deployment we will have seen him for a total of almost 3 months total in a year. And he is only scheduled to be home for a little less than 4 months over the next year. We are counting down the days til our time on this ship is up.. I am ready to have my husband home and so are the babies..Okay enough of my pity party. I'm going to update you on the 2 most precious babies in the world in the next two posts!!
