just happy daddy is home

Brandon surprised us on Tues by coming home early! He told me that Greg was going to deliver my Anniversary gift and he brought me a box and said I had to help unload the other half of my present, when we went outside Brandon got out of the truck! We were so surprised and so excited! I was hoping that that would happen but didnt think it actually would cause you know it is the military. Kayla is very happy all she wanted for Christmas was her daddy and God brought him home safe to us! Thank you everyone for your prayers and thoughts that kept him safe while he was over there. He will now be home for at least 3 years without going back to war so that will be very nice. We will be moving in March to Kentucky and cant wait to be closer to family and some of our friends but we will sure miss the nice weather out here. As for the other present that I didnt open for a while cause I was so sidetracked, Brandon got me a beautiful diamond necklace that I will have to get a picture of. Also on our anniversary we went out and bought a dirt bike for us to share so we have had a fun week. These pictures are some that we have taken since he has been home. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years and we will be thinking of you all.

only 3 cm
so tiny

so here are the pics

1st Doctor Visit

I just got back from the doctors about an hour ago and it went very well. I am 11 weeks today and doing good. Kayla went with me cause we were hoping to hear the heartbeat but unfortunatly couldnt cause the baby kept moving around. We did however get our first ultrasound so that was very cool and kayla got to see the baby. The baby is still very little only about 3 cm long right now so not too much to look at but next apt we will get another one and be able to see what sex the baby is...very excited about that! Just wanted to give you all an update...i am feeling alot better and getting less tired so that is also good. I will have to post the ultrasound picture later because I dont have a scanner but I will get it up there.

Kayla and I went and got our first family Christmas tree on black friday and got it all decorated. We also got our lights up outside and what little decorations we have. Its hard to believe it is Christmas time here cause everything is so green and the temp is still like 70...totally different than what we are used to...not complaining at all though. Kayla has been having fun with our neighbor boy Brady who is close to her age, they have become good friends. I am still trying to overcome my morning sickness and am doing pretty good. We had a great Thanksgiving with friends over at Nate and Deanna's and I was actually able to eat quite a bit which was nice. We havent done too much but are trying to stay busy and have fun. Brandon is doing good also just staying busy and getting sick of being over there haha. He will be home somewhere around the 15th of Jan so that will be nice. I go to the doc again on the 11th so I will let you all know how that goes.
