9, 10 & 11

9. Red: Netflix. Yep I watch netflix all the time. It really is a lifesaver for when I am bored. There is always something to watch. 

 10. Loud: This little girl used to love loud things...now she hates them. I try to vacuum (how do you spell that anyways? I just tried to google it and got tons of different responses) and she goes into hysterics. Poor thing works herself into such a frenzy in less than 30 seconds that she is gasping for air. needless to say my house doesn't get vacuumed very often.

11. someone I talked to today: My mom. We skyped, talked on the phone and texted. I love her. I can't wait to see her in a month!

P.S. look how small addison was? oh she's just so cute!

6, 7 and 8

 Things have been crazy the last couple days. So to catch up, on the 6th my photo is of 5pm...

Here we were at the grocery store on base buying cereal for my friend. Addison was sitting in the shopping cart for the first time ever. She loved it.

Next we have on the 7th something I wore

Basically my wardrobe these days consists of being comfortable so I wear workout clothes most days, don't judge. I feel comfortable and cute so I don't care. Plus who do I have to please these days?

 And Day 8, window. This is the Northern Lights. I was literally hanging out my window in 3 degrees taking pictures! It was so amazing! Something I will never forget!

A Smile

Today's picture is a smile, could you guess whose smile I was going to post? I love this little babies smile so much. She is so free to give it away, and she makes me smile whenever I see that cute little face. She has such a sweet little personality. 

One thing she also loves is stuffed animals. It doesn't matter which one it is, when I bring one out she will instantly grab it pull it in towards her and squeeze it and give it a kiss. She loves the two in the picture below. 

My Bedside

All right so this is my bedside... pretty basic and boring. A clock, lamp, baby monitor, remote control, and the ensign. On the floor we have a heating pad incase my feet get cold at night. Thats it.

Today was sunday, I love Sunday's. They are pretty fantastic if you ask me because I get to go to church and my ward is fantastic. The spirit there is amazing. This morning was so non-stress too. I got up at 6:15 to get ready, Addison woke at 6:30 but was chill to be in her crib till I was done. At 7 I was done getting ready so I went and got her and we laid on the bed and played. Then at 7:30 I went ahead and gave Addi a bath and got her dressed and fed. I was taking things slow because I had so much time to spare. It felt great. The only downfall of Sunday is Squirm doesn't take good naps so the rest of her day is off. Thats ok though because she is still flipping cute!

Here she is hanging out in bed

This is her sitting, she loves to sit by herself.

And her cute outfit for the day

My Neighborhood

Day Three! I'm doing pretty good at this. Heres my picture...

My neighborhood is pretty awesome. I love the houses we live in. They are really nice. I live on The base we are stationed at. Only downfall is my neighbors on each side of me. The one to the Left has three teenagers that find it fun to BLAST music as soon as they come home from school. They make loud noises at three in the morning and they find it fun to hang out in my driveway so when I go to leave and I open my garage there they are just chilling. Scares me every time! The neighbors to the right of me have their backyard facing my bedroom window. There have been multiple times in the summer where they decided to throw parties and start their bonfires and were loud till late hours of the night. I put up with it to a point. There was one night when Brandon was gone at training and I was 7 months pregnant and they had one of said parties. Well I dealt with it till it got to be 3 AM and the dude was still out back and decided to turn up the music and sing at the top of his lungs. He was so wasted. I couldn't handle it anymore so I called the MP's, needless to say that party ended real quick. I do have to say though with all that I still love where i live. I have some great friends that only live houses away. and it is so great to be so close to everything that I need. 

Todays picture of Addison is her in her Jumper. She is still a little short for it so we have to put a pillow under her so she can reach the ground. In the past I have put her in it and she liked it for about 5 min. Well I put it away for awhile, then today I decided to bring it back out again. She loved it. She bounced away. I think she was in there for a good 30 min, two different times. When I took her out I only did so because we needed to go do things. She probably could have stayed longer. She is so flipping cute! I love my baby!

Fruit

Todays Photo is of Fruit. Heres mine:

I actually don't have any fruit in my house right now, but I did have this apple juice. Boy it sure tasted good!

Today Addison and I went and got our taxes done. Thats one thing I can mark off the list of things I need to do. Lately I have been thinking about how I'm doing overall during this whole deployment. So far I think I'm doing great. I am hardly ever sad, I just seem to get by. This doesn't mean that I don't miss Brandon. I miss him more than anyone can imagine. He is part of me. But I do random have a day where I feel like crying and I don't even know why. The smallest things can make me feel like breaking down. However, for some reason I fight it every time. I have always been like this. I hide my emotions inside. They build and build till they just all spill over. Hopefully that won't happen this time. Only time will tell I guess. 

But one thing that gets me every time is looking into this face and knowing that her dad is missing all these small things she learns to do. She hardly knows him.  It makes me so sad. I can't wait till he comes home for R&R and I can see how she reacts to him. I hope they bond as fast as they did when she was first born because she loved him so much. She loved to just lay next to him and just stare at him. She was so perfect whenever he was around. They had this bond that was so amazing to watch and I really can't wait to see it again!

Up

I told my good friend Jackie that as soon as I got my new computer that I would blog more. That was two months ago...oops. So here it goes, I'm gonna take this challenge of doing March photo a day.

Today's challenge is "up", here is my photo

This is looking up at the sky from my backyard. This is what the sky looks like most days here in Alaska during our cold winters! As you can also see from the photo the snow is as high as my backyard fence...lovely.

In other news, we have three months down on this deployment. For those that didn't know my husband left in December to Afghanistan. I stayed in our home in Alaska, even though multiple people in my family wanted me to move home. This is just where I need to be right now. Yes it is very far away, but I love my church ward and the people are amazing. So here I am raising our 5 month old Daughter here on my own and I must say I am loving knowing that I can do it alone. I do have to thank my family for dealing with my million texts and phone calls when I am concerned about something. They are great.

Also as I said, our Daughter is 5 months now. I can't believe how fast time has gone. She is the most amazing baby ever. I certainly have been blessed with her. She is so easy to take care of and definitely causes me little stress. Here is a cute picture of her.

Thats all for now. See you Tomorrow!
