Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted anything on my blog. A lot has happened in our adventurous life. I will take the time later to update this. It has been a very trying and difficult year for us. I lost my dad May 6th 2009 and then we moved out to New Mexico where I felt so far away and sad. The one thing I have learned is that God is with you no matter how far away you may be from home and everyone you love. We found an amazing church where God reminded us to fully put our trust and focus in Him. And even though I felt so far away from family and friends, I found myself spending more time with the Lord and growing in my relationship with Him.
Finally, we have made it to our assigned base Moody Air Force Base(after 3 years of training)! We are currently looking for a house to buy so I will have to post later about our past year!
Love y'all.

I'm 4 months old!
She drools alot more now so maybe she will get some teeth soon.
She likes to talk to herself when you put her in front of the mirror.
She can recognize mine and eddie's faces amongst other people.
She likes to watch tv.
She likes to swing her arms around and then hit herself in the tummy.
...love the baby leggins in this picture
It is startin to get chilly here so we really don't go on any walks with Bella. I finally made myself decorate for Christmas even though we will not be here for Christmas!
Christmas time just makes ya feel all good inside. It makes me wanna drink some hot apple cider and watch Christmas movies. I like Elf, The Santa Claus, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Christmas Story, T
he Holiday, and the famous Christmas Vacation. I love to hear Eddie laugh like a hyena when we watch that. Eddie bought the Charlie Brown Christmas movie for Emery.

I try to motivate myself to exercise but it is hard to make myself. I wish I could go to the gym here. Maybe I can strap Em into the baby backpack carrier that I have and go to the gym...just kiddin. This is what I do to work my abs...
Emery was scootin around on the floor and I was filming her and she said, "Mama"!

Thanksgiving
Alia found something new that Emery likes...She would dip Emery's pacifier in some ice cold water and give it to her and Em would gobble it up!
We went shopping at a big mall and Cabela's but didn't find anything worth buying. At Cabela's, there was an aquarium and we took Em in to see the fishys and she liked them. Her eyes would follow them as they swam. We also went to downtown Austin to walk the main strip. Alia's family babysat Emery while we were gone... (I missed her). It kinda reminded me of memphis with all the pubs and music playing in the streets. Then we walked a few blocks to visit the capitol building. It was a short trip but we had fun seeing are friends!
Thank you God for our family. Thank you for Emery! Thank you for our friends. Thank you God for loving us so much and for blessing us. Thank you for our wonderful life!
The End.....
.....I'm Stuffed!!!

"Party in my crib, 2:00am!"
So Emery is 3 months old now and is gettin heavier! She rolled over for the first time Nov. 4th! Now that's all she does when you put her down...she's a holy roller! I have been reading a book called "The no-cry sleep solution" by Elizabeth Pantley because I have decided that ignoring her while she is screaming is not the right way to get her to sleep, plus I feel like she thinks I have abandoned her and I don't like her to cry. When I try to just let her cry-it-out it just makes things worse and she is wide awake and upset. Now I don't run to the crib at every noise I hear and sometimes I let her whine for a little bit, but loud crying...NO, not for me. The

Now that I am not working I have alot of time at home to spend with Em which can get boring sometimes so I have been into reading books, which I never thought I would have an interest in. I also have lots of time to research things on the internet which is not always a good thing...somethings I come across I wish I never knew, although I have been reading about "going green" and I never really thought about recycling and stuff like that, but I think it is good to help the environment and not be wasteful. But I don't want to go too crazy with it and start living all natural and growing my armpit hair out! Just kidding! It all started with me researching products that would not irritate Emery's skin cause she has break outs with the regular good smelling baby products. Then I came across a website that talked about all the toxic chemicals that are in our everyday products. Now I do think that using natural ingredients in products are good but I don't think I could go completely "green" or organic and get rid of my make-up, hair products, skin products, and such, and buy everything organic (it is expensive!) but I have considered "green" cleaning products and soaps and detergents...stuff that's not harsh to our skin.

I also read Jon and Kate's new book and I really liked it. It was easy to read and it really showed how they both had to trust God through their tough times. I like their show.
Oh yeah...I have been trying to get a picture of her pouty lip so here it is. So cute!

Fall
So this was Emery's first halloween. She was a kitty cat and a pumpkin! Of course we really didn't go trick or treating anywhere but we had a few come to our house. Eddie was night flying that night so he didn't get to see her in her cute costumes but I did take pictures. I took her to see the neighbors and I met a new couple while walking to the mailbox. They are from Columbus, MS (my home town)...can ya believe it! They are really nice and hopefully we can hang out and I won't be so bored!!!
The next day we got up and drove to San Antonio to see Eddie's family: mamaw, papaw, great aunt carolyn and uncle larry, aunt kim and uncle cliff and his cousins makenzie, pearson, and andy. Cliff and Kim live there now and everyone else drove or flew in to all be together for Cliff's change of command ceremony and because he is leaving for iraq for 6 months. Me and Eddie walked around town and walked on the riverwalk. It was nice but crowded and I now understand how handicapped people feel cause we had to go to certain places and try to find an elevator to get down to the riverwalk with Emery's stroller. We also saw The Alamo. It was cool and there was lots of big old trees with huge branches. I love old trees. While we were walking around we actually witnessed a couple praying for a young man on the sidewalk and they were leading him to Christ. It makes ya feel good inside to know that there are still good Godly people in this world, even in a big city, and that God and christians are out there trying to save the lost people of this world.
We stayed the night with the family and spent some time together. We went to John Hagee's big church. I spent most of the service in the hallways with Emery but they had tv's so you could see the preacher.
Here are some more pics...

My Girl
Emery makes some of the cutest faces. She is very alert and likes to try to stand on her legs all the time. She likes for you to walk her around the room so she can see everything and if you sit down with her she starts fussin. We need to get her set on a sleep schedule cause right now she goes to sleep at 2:00am and then gets up once at 5:30am then sleeps till 10:30am. I am pretty much on her schedule so I am not that tired. She is a good baby though...just what I prayed for. She has been making lots of sounds and has been "talkin" to us alot. Watch this cute video. Eddie can really get her goin...he sounds like mickey mouse at one point!
