Happy Birthday Bryan!

Happy Birthday to my sweetheart today, the big 25! It's about time he caught up to me in age! lol Not only is he one year older and wiser too but he sewed on SSgt this month as well. He sent me this picture from his promotion ceremony and Madison went nuts. She said "Look Mommy it's Daddy....and a plane!". :) We're so proud of him and hope he has a wonderful birthday today. We love you!

Three Years!

November 17, 2006~ One of the greatest days of my life
Three generations~My Nana, My mother and of course myself
My dearest friend Aida who of course I had to get into at least one of my pictures :)

Happy Anniversary to Us! Three years down and many more to go. I feel so blessed to have him as my eternal companion and best friend. I love you Bryan!

This Just In!!!

Just talked to Bryan today and found out where we're laying down roots next. We're off to Langley AFB Virginia! We're so excited! He's supposed to report in April sometime so that should give us plenty of time to have Lillian in late March and make our way there. He's already making me look up houses, and I thought I would be the one to jump the gun! lol :) We just wanted to share our news with you!

Baby News!!!

Her beautiful little profile! She looks so much like Bryan it's crazy!
A picture of her spine, when I saw it all I could think of was Lizard Baby!
Another profile picture, I believe she was looking right at us when the tech took the picture.
Her little feet

It's official! We're having another little girl!!! Bryan and I are so excited to welcome Lillian Kay Turner into the world next March. The official due date is still March 23rd. She was such a squirmer but the technician was able to get some pretty decent shots. Madison's been looking at them all day and saying Lily. So cute! We can't wait for her to be here! :)

Trunk or Treat

Madison and I attended the Trunk or Treat in my parents ward last Friday and had such a wonderful time. Maddie looked so beautiful in her ballerina costume! She was especially excited when it was time to get candy. So much so that when she came to me to get candy she was already working hard core on a Tootsie Pop and covered in red drool lol. Here are some pictures from that night, enjoy!

I'm Growing!

I have been getting a lot of grief lately from my family and friends about when they were going to see my baby bump. With my appointment just a week away to hopefully know the gender, I figured now was a pretty good time to show off Baby Turner 2. So enjoy!

The Uh-Oh

I had a funny experience at my first baby appointment that I felt needed to be shared. I can't be the only one laughing! It was one of those moments that you can laugh about now but when it was happening, not so much. :) So before I heard my little one's heartbeat, the female doc wanted to do a breast exam and the rest of the routine fun. During my breast exam, there was an announcement made over the intercom that maintenance was going to test the fire alarm briefly just to make sure it was in working order. After the announcement while the doctor is still during her poking and prodding with my ladies she says "Uh Oh." Instantly my heart stopped. While I was thinking the worst I asked bravely "What is it?". She then said "Fire Alarm." Who says Uh Oh while performing a breast exam?! lol Like I said wasn't funny then, but since nothing is wrong of course it's definitely funny now. :) Hope you all enjoy and never have any kind of experience like that!

Gator-Tastic Apparel

There's my smile!!!

Waiting for Daddy to call











Madison received the best package yesterday! Her Great Grandma Shirley made her an adorable Gator top and bottoms and her Honey sent her a Gator cheerleading dress and purse. Madison's first Gator outfits! Her Daddy would be so proud! :) So of course I had to dress her up in both, take lots of pictures, and post them for everyone to see. I hope you enjoy our little Gator girl!

Auf Wiedersehen

Our first week in Germany~Trip to Edelweiss Area

As most of you may know, Bryan was told a few weeks ago that he would be shipped off to the desert for four months. In light of this news, Madison and I are leaving Germany to go and stay with my family in Colorado until he joins us in the states. Leaving Germany for the last time is bittersweet. On one hand, I'm grateful to be going home to family who will help me with Madison and help welcome our second child in the world just in case Bryan doesn't make it in time. On the other, I'm leaving so many wonderful people I've met during my stay here behind. To all of you, and you know who you are, thank you for making my time here in Germany a memorable one. You have all impacted my life in your own special ways and I will treasure our friendships for eternity. Hopefully our paths will cross again one day but until they do "God Be With You Till We Meet Again".

A New Rank

I just received the best news! Bryan just made SSgt!!! He's worked so hard to achieve this new rank and I'm so proud of all the work and dedication he puts into his job everyday. We love you and are so proud of you!!! :)

Rome

The Coliseum of course

Madison decided she needed my glasses so she could read what she scribbled on the paper lol.
Making our way through the Vatican Museum
St. Peter's Basilica
Spanish Steps
On top of St. Angelo's Castle, what a view!

St. Angelo's
Trevi Fountain
Pantheon

My mother in law decided she wanted to treat all of us to a family vacation before we say goodbye to Europe and we figured Rome would be the best place to go. It was SUPER HOT but nothing a little or should I say lots of water couldn't fix. :) It was great seeing some of their famous landmarks like the Coliseum, Vatican City, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, you get the picture. If you've ever seen Angels and Demons we went everywhere they did and a little more. We had a great time together and hope you enjoy the pictures.
