Happy Veteran's Day

I am so proud of Dan. He loves the boys and I so much. He works so hard to provide for our family. He is our protector. And he is our soldier.

Thank you Dan for all of your hard work. Thank you for putting your all into everything you do. You give 110%. And I admire that so much.

I am bursting with pride to see you graduate from your training. You have learned a new job and you are exceeding at it so well. Your soldiers that you lead look up to you. And as the boys watch your hard work, the boys have learned to respect you in a new way.

So, you go enjoy your free meals at Applebees, Outback, and Chili's! You deserve it!

I am also so proud of my family members that have or serve now in the military.
My brother Daniel is in the Army.
My step brother Ricky is currently serving with the Army in Afghanistan.
My step brother Jeremy served in the Air Force.
My Papa Jr is retired Navy and Air Force.
My Aunt Judy is retired Navy.
And my step dad served in the Navy.
And don't forget...
Mother in law - Air Force
Father in Law - Air Force
Step Father in law - Army
Uncle Pete - Navy
Brother in law - Army
Uncle Kevin - Navy

Happy Veteran's Day and thank you to our friends and family that have served or currently serve in the military. We appreciate you.

Happy (belated) Vet's Day Dan!

Leah - oh how I wish you were on Facebook. I did kind of a tribute to you/and mothers/wives everywhere who have spouses serving in the military. This is what it said:

"This Veteran's Day I wanted to give a special "Thank You" to all the wives (and husbands) who have spouses serving in our military. Behind every soldier is a brave woman waiting at home for her sweetheart's safe return. Thank you for sharing your hero with us!"

Love you girl!

Baby "Bean" Gardner first ultrasound

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...

Decorating the boys room

I have some decisions to make. For the first 4-6 months Zach will sleep in his cradle in the master bedroom. But then after that, Ben and Zach will be sharing a room. We do qualify for a 3 bedroom. However, I have no desire to move any time soon. So it's decorating time! For the past 3 years Benjamin's room has been sports theme. Dan and I both love sports. That is no secret. However, I am a little burned out of sports theme. And Ben's crib bedding is stained, ripped, and faded. So, I need to decide on Zach's bedding and a new set for Ben. So I need your input! My mission if I wish to accept it, is to choose a new theme for the room without breaking the bank. I also have to keep in mind that whatever we choose for Zach, will be with him for the next 3 or more years. First option - This is my favorite. However Dan insists that is is way too girly and will give Zach a "complex". ;) What do you think? Too girly? We would just have the basic bedding. Not the wall...
