Time in the TLF

A year later and I'm finally getting around to updating our blog. Let's just say it's taken us a while to get settled and caught up with this move.


A few weeks in the TLF were enough. We were so ready to have a place of our own after being a month in Utah between houses, and a month in the TLF.

At one point Sam said, "I want to go home". It broke my heart because we didn't even have a home to go back to. Time to start over again. We were especially excited about this place because we knew we'd be here for at least 3 years -- we'll practically be established!!

While in the TLF Justin had me try on some of his gear he was being issued, do I look the part?
 We did have a park behind our hotel. A convenient get away for us all at times.

Sam making some friends. :) It's funny to watch a 2 year old learn or not know what the social norms are.

 Yes we were building bridges out of our diaper boxes -- we were limited on our toys.
 While in the TLF, July 4th was celebrated. We went to the festivities on base. Sam loved all the rides, especially the horse.

 While in the hotel I had my first learning experience with the change of voltage. Oops! Luckily the night light had been a white elephant gift we had received.

 This was our train while in the TLF. I liked it best when I was in front where I could do research while we chugged along, but Sam soon wanted to be in the front all the time. :)

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, learning, and practi

Happy Halloween

Thanks to the Schmidt pumpkin patch  I have several cute little pumpkins I've always wanted and thanks to the Daniels party for the cute carved pumpkins that really set the Halloween tone! The Schmidt Sisters!  October 23rd we had the annual Grandpa Jess Birthday Party get together! I felt like it had been forever since the Daniels family had been together.  Not enough catching up happened for me, but it was sure fun to be around family and carve pumpkins. It helped me start to get into the Halloween spirit. Bummer that I did not take pictures at the party. But these pumpkins made me smile each day I saw them on our porch. Halloween was so much fun when you were a kid, but as I have aged the holiday has lost it's excitement. For Halloween this year we happened to be in Salt Lake with the Schmidts. Justin was presenting his IHC idea and I had the day to myself. The Schmidt family gathered at the pumpkin patch for pictures before the night of trick or treating would

Going to the park with Sam has always been enjoyable, but lately it has become a lot more fun! Sam is a thrill seeker for sure! He loves going down the slide head first! Sam screams when we walk away from the swing - He loves swinging! He loves when we peep through the different holes Yes, he is crawling right to the slide, letting himself down head first
