Once Thanksgiving had passed we decided it was time to get in the Christmas spirit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Friday after Thanksgiving we did not go shopping...we headed to Six Flags!</div>

Christmas carols blared through the park and we had a great family fun day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took Riley to the kids area for a bit and Jason went to ride the Batman ride. Jason wanted to see what rides Riley might be tall enough to ride and we headed to an entire area of the park I've never been to!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her and Jason rode this "big" roller coaster and she just loved it!</div>

We have so much to be thankful for. God is good. We are blessed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started off the day by meeting up with friends to go on a walk. It was no leisure walk though...we walked up this crazy street that is a very steep winding hill! We took Hank and it didn't seem to wear him out too much but it sure did wear us out! Jason pushed both girls in the stroller for a while until we caught up with everyone and then Riley was off to play with her friends and walk like a big girl! It was a great way to start the day and help with any later guilt from all the food intake!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We came home and facetimed with our families all over the place and Jason made some breakfast tacos. I got busy cooking after that...I made PW's Mashed Potatoes, PW's Pecan Pie, and a Pumpkin Roll!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We shared this special day with a couple of other families and it was great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Riley, Madison, and Samantha had fun playing together!</div>

I had been wanting to take Riley to tea at Linde Lane ever since I went with my girlfriends for my birthday! I knew she would love it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was wanting to take her for her birthday but our weekends are so busy that this weekend was one of the only ones we had to go so off we went. I don't get much time with Riley all to myself so I ate it up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I surprised her with a new dress and some "high heal" shoes and she was ecstatic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got all dressed up and off we went!</div>

She chose a caramel tea and added quite a few sugar cubes to get it just right!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loved having a big girl cup, her own tea pot, and the clinking of her spoon on her cup...it's the little things!</div>

We had such a fun time. Riley loved going to the table near us with the chess game on it and she was convincing me she knew how to play...I don't even know how to play chess! A sweet older lady from the Red Hat Society was coming by throughout our meal modeling hats and that was fun to see!</div>

We are pretty sad that we are losing some great friends :( That happens too often in the military world and we learn to say "see you later" rather than "goodbye"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This family, however, is going back to Australia and that's simply a long way away. Tahlia and her family have been in the US for three years on an exchange program and it's time for them to go back down under. We had to get in a fun playdate before they headed back home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tahlia came home with us after tennis and had lunch before Makenna arrived...I was going to run these guys through a fun place to grab lunch but they wanted peanut butter sandwiches so I just took them home and fixed them lunch!</div>

While I was off "galavanting" in the city as Jason would say he was getting ready for a Veteran's Day BBQ at our house! He had wanted to do this and had pretty much planned it with a few guys in his office and he knew I would be gone until about noon on Monday so he had his work cut out for him..but he did GREAT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He took both girls grocery shopping the night before!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I came home the house was spotless, tri tip and pork were smoking outside, and both girls were happy as can be! What a stud!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since he had done the planning I didn't really know how many people we had coming over..and neither did he!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But boy did we have a party!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were probably 20 kids so the bounce house came in handy!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to separate big kids and little kids at one point because Riley came in crying saying "they are stepping on my face"...not quite her pace of playing..haha!</div>
<br />

As is typical the men congregated outside and the women inside...haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At one point I could hear the littler kids playing but we couldn't find them...turns out they were having a party in our bed..haha! They had headlamps on with the lights on and a princess memory game going on...love their idea of fun!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since the party started early in the afternoon everyone had cleared out by 7 or 8 and we realized Riley had not even eaten anything. So she sat down for the first time all night and chowed down on some ribs!</div>

It was such a fun time celebrating Veteran's Day!</div>

While my mom was visiting back in September I got a text from my BFF from college Becky saying that for her birthday she wanted to come visit me!!! It totally made my day! Becky was a senior when I was a freshman and she was my Bible study leader in Aggie Sisters for Christ...she was and still is a great influence and mentor for me. Her husband, Matt, is also in the Air Force and he was in the same outfit as Jason (Gator 2) at A&M. They have moved quite a bit during their time in the Air Force...I went to visit her in California and Florida. She came to visit me in Texas and Arkansas. The last time we saw each other was in 2009 shortly before we moved out to Cali. We were able to spend a few days with her family on our way back from SOS in Alabama when they were stationed in Florida again. So....that means it had been almost 4 years and that's just way tooooo long! But she had a baby and then I had a baby and you know life gets busy. But...she managed to get away kid free for a few days and come to Cali and we had a GREAT time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She flew into San Fran and the girls and I went to pick her up. She requested lunch and coffee immediately...and in that order. So we headed to the Embarcadero for lunch and ate at Boudin...it's good and parking is easy so it was a win win! Rain was rolling in so our front row parking spot came in handy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had yummy sourdough bread bowls with clam chowder...a must!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tessa loved the bread...she's a carb queen for sure!</div>

Riley had fun checking out all of the sourdough animals after lunch!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We headed home after lunch and we got to chit chatting and I totally forgot about getting Becky some coffee...I'm a horrible host! About 20 minutes from our house we found a Starbucks! Riley was such a hoot all afternoon...that girl loves an audience and especially loves a new face! She was in rare form and making us crack up the whole way home! She was smitten with Becky!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That night I made some PW Chili and it was so yummy! After dinner Becky and I headed out to a little girls night at Ashley's house! Poor Becky was a trooper because with the time change she was exhausted and up way past her bedtime!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday morning Riley went to school and Becky and I went to a spin class! I joined a gym by our house back in July that is awesome! They have great classes and great childcare...need I say more? I tend to stick within my comfort zone but have been trying out new classes...I've done Zumba and loved it and finally tried spin. Becky had never done it either and had been wanting to try it so off we went. Everyone the night before had made it sound awful and quite frankly they weren't very encouraging..haha! But we both loved it and now I'm hooked...plus it's crazy how many calories you can burn in one class!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After spin we came home to let Tessa nap and boy did that girl nap...we had planned on running a few errands but I had to wake that girl up so we could at least run one! After we picked the kids up from school we just chilled at the house. Riley wanted all of Becky's attention! I think they played a little kinect and since Jason had a guys night out planned we stayed in, made some PW pasta, and watched a movie! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday was Riley's last soccer so we went to watch her and then Becky and I went to Davis. We had Thai food at my favorite place, Sophia's, had some afternoon coffee, and then went to a cupcake shop!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPS0nb2EXRlML9WLa-v9Zdf2MDMVXnetLsLNuCbviIy4942MXS25oFWk-_Ny-NUYJ9_auEgNphi8GLJAZ6ceWXR2WrshDkpEwTeC8qaccgPuDQZqAvztHRm_WzpCyQWEKdF35HnBjVL_P4/s1600/IMG_6354.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPS0nb2EXRlML9WLa-v9Zdf2MDMVXnetLsLNuCbviIy4942MXS25oFWk-_Ny-NUYJ9_auEgNphi8GLJAZ6ceWXR2WrshDkpEwTeC8qaccgPuDQZqAvztHRm_WzpCyQWEKdF35HnBjVL_P4/s400/IMG_6354.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We looked around at a few stores but at this time the A&M and Alabama game was going on and we saw we were winning and decided we better get home to watch the game! Then LOTS of screaming ensued as the Aggies went on to beat Alabama...it was awesome! Tessa would cry everytime I screamed...that girl better get used to Johnny Football! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Becky always makes herself a cake on her birthday and since it was her birthday weekend I decided to make her a strawberry cake with strawberry icing. I goofed on the icing a bit but it only lacked in appearance..not in taste! It was so yummy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made a big "to do" and Riley had fun singing to Becky and having her wear the birthday hat that Becky made for Riley for her first birthday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's 29...again! :)</div>

I am a city girl and love the city! I have always wanted to ride the BART since we lived here...the bay area mass transit system! It's nothing glamorous but I've just always wanted to do it! So we drove to the closest station about 30 minutes away and off we went!</div>

We got off at the Powell St station which dumps you right into a Forever 21 store..perfecto! We decided to go ahead an check into our hotel so we walked to the Marine Memorial and got settled! Then we hit the streets for some shopping...not without grabbing our afternoon coffee first! We went to Forever 21, H&M, Ross, and then we landed in front of another Forever 21...newer and even nicer! We had to shop again! We got some major steals since it was Veteran's Day weekend!</div>

I even spotted this at Forever 21...you know we are big time when they have Aggie apparel in San Fran! :)</div>

We decided to eat at Cheesecake Factory...the wait was pretty long but we figured we didn't have anything else to do and we didn't have kids...why not wait? It actually went by much quicker than what they quoted us on time and we scored this PERFECT table overlooking the city..couldn't have asked for a better seat in the house! We ate way too much food and topped it off with cheesecake!</div>

Becky had to get up at 4:30 to catch her shuttle to the airport and it was late when we got done with dinner so we headed back to the hotel and got some sleep! I slept a bit after Becky left and then headed back on the BART back home! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a great time and thanks so much for coming to visit Becky! I'm excited that we'll be within driving distance once we move to Illinois!</div>

Well it's that time of year for family pics and I love it! I love seeing everyone's pics come up on Facebook and it's even better when the Christmas cards start rolling in! I'm glad we were able to get in another shoot with Sara before we move...and she moves! Gotta love the military life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We shot early on a Sunday morning and it was no small feat getting us all showered, dressed, and to the location by 8:30 but we managed! We met at this random barn in Vacaville and Sara had never shot there before so we got to be the ginnipigs! It turned out perfect and the barn was green which couldn't have gone better with our outfits! We kept the whole shoot under 45 minutes and they turned out great! Good thing my girls are total hams! Sara did an amazing job as usual!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks like we will be heading to Illinois sometime around the beginning of March. Jason will have an Air Mobility Command staff job and we're very proud of him and excited about this opportunity!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have absolutely loved our time here in California! It's going to be extremely hard to leave but I knew the change was looming and can't help but be excited about our next adventure. We had a pretty good idea that Scott AFB might be where we would be heading next but we were still anxious and excited to find out what the official orders said!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We knew we would be finding out by the end of October and Jason left on a short TDY last Monday and wouldn't you know that's the day he got his orders. I'm not sure how it all works but he knew his orders had dropped but because he was TDY he couldn't access the system that showed him his orders so we knew were moving but just didn't know where yet. I got a text from him that ready "hey honey...i got orders...just don't know where to yet"....ummmmm what? So....we had to wait but fortunately not too long! The next morning he made some calls and found out the orders were to Scott and the report date was Feb 8. That was much quicker than we thought but due to some of Jason's commitments here it's been pushed back until March. I know it's going to come quick!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once we got the orders then it hit me...I am going to hate leaving here...all my amazing friends, all of Riley's friends, the great weather, all of the amazing things to do! There are lots of emotions involved and we've been through it before. I know God has great plans for us on this next adventure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We told Riley a few days later and I'm not sure she totally understands it yet. She is such an outgoing and social little thing that I am not one bit concerned about her making new friends. I am just sad for her that she's going to have to leave her friends here...she is such a loyal friend and she never forgets a friend! It's a whole different ball game this time with this move affecting Riley. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...now that we know it's time for me to stress...haha! So much planning to do! For now I have the holidays and two birthdays to distract me and keep me plenty busy! One thing at a time right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Riley has fallen in love with Doc McStuffins on Disney and when she decided that's what she wanted to be for halloween I couldn't have been happier! I was ready for a break from princess things!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had fun piecing together her costume and finding all the perfect pieces! I actually dressed the girls up a few weeks ago and took pics and I'm so glad I did because it was too hectic to worry about good pics of the two of them when it came time to trick or treat!</div>

When we figured out what Riley was going to be I wanted to think of something clever for them to be sort of a duo and when I spotted this little lamb costume I knew Tessa could be Lambie and it would be perfect!</div>

We got back to Hannah and Todd's and all ate a WONDERFUL meal! It was crazy with all of the kids but it's a great crazy...I just love this stage of life! Lots of candy was eaten and I am loving sneaking in the candy bucket...don't tell Riley! :)</div>

I have a lot of fun with my two girls but I love the days when the real fun just begins when Jason gets home!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Riley had an animal parade at school so we borrowed a cute pink pony costume from her sweet friend Ella! Ella's dad delivered it to Jason at work and if you can imagine two men carrying around this pink pony costume and getting lots of funny looks then you hit the nail on the head! I warned Jason that he was going to get a delivery but he didn't have any what he was getting himself into!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he got home with the costume Riley literally galloped around the house for an hour straight...it was hilarious! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After Tessa went to bed Jason got all gussied up and they got the nerf guns and swords out and they were "pawtners"looking for bad guys! They were so cute and I got shot several times with the nerf guns...I guess I was the bad guy!</div>

I convinced Jason to use this "playtime" to get Riley to clean her toys up...you know to make it fun and all! I was cracking up the whole time...he was saying things like "if you don't clean that there mess up there will be a hanging at high noon"...Riley had no clue what he was talking about but it totally worked!</div>

She weighed in at 16 pounds 4 ounces on her 10 month birthday!!! She's still hanging out in the 3rd / 4th percentile and doing just fine! I officially moved her up to size 3 diapers and they are a little big but she hasn't had any trouble with them at all! She is wearing 6-9 month clothes and is able to get into most 9-12 month clothes too. I have a feeling a lot of the dresses she's in now will work well as shirts next spring so I'm hanging onto them for now!</div>

Her schedule hasn't changed much this month other than she seems to eat more and more each meal than the day before! She nurses 4 times a day and takes a 5 oz bottle around 1:30. She is completely on table food and loves it. She shovels it in her mouth like nobody's business! She started drinking a sippy cup of water with her meals too and does great with it. I gave her her formula in it once and she didn't drink it nearly as well as from the bottle but I eventually got it down her. We'll have to work on that over the next two months! She has started biting me when she eats and that is not fun...and then she laughs. Think she might be trouble??? I think we have it under control for now but we shall see!</div>

She's sleeping great and still taking two naps a day. She usually naps around 9:30 and then 2:00...on Riley's school days I have to push her until 2:30 and work hard to keep her from falling asleep in the car but on non-school days she usually goes down a little before 2:00. Each nap is usually an hour and a half. She goes to bed between 7:00 and 7:30 and then she's up around 6:30 or 7:00. Most mornings she usually wakes up and just hangs out in her crib for 15-20 minutes. She's still sleeping in the guest room but we have plans to move her crib into the playroom until we move. She still does great adapting to our sometimes crazy schedule and will sleep in her carseat, the stroller, or the ergo. I especially love when she sleeps in the ergo because I get to snuggle her up.<br />

Tessa is all over the place. We've had to adapt the house and change our habits because this girl is into everything! She loves to play in the play kitchen, crawl all over the house, and pull up and walk with her toys. She already knows where the playroom is and she make a beeline for it every chance she gets! She's opening cabinets and drawers and of course putting anything and everything in her mouth. When she is trying to move towards something that she shouldn't and I say "uh uh uh" she turns her head, looks at me, and repeats it back to me...and then she proceeds to go right for it.

I think she will be walking before we know it but as for now she's really not pursuing it too much...probably because she's so fast with her crawling so she isn't too worried about other methods of moving! When she's sitting and playing she is always in this stance where she get on one leg and acts like she wants to just push herself up and stand right up. She doesn't have the balance to do it yet but she's not far from it!</div>

This month has shown me how much Tessa loves babies and it has been so fun to watch! She makes this distinct little sound when referring to her baby and she smiles and lights up and just grabs that baby, throws it over her shoulder, and gives it the sweetest pats on the back. I just love watching her maternal instincts even at such a young age. She loves ALL of Riley's babies so I think her big sister is going to hook her up for Christmas!</div>

She is becoming more and more smitten with her sister every day and I just love seeing the two of them together. Tessa is now giving hugs and kisses and every morning when Riley comes in my room she wants to lay her head on her big sissy and give her a hug. We all love the hugs and kisses from this sweet girl!<br />

It's so great to see Tessa finally really start to give affection back to Riley. Riley has been head over heels in love with Tessa since before she was even born and she is such a good big sister. But when Tessa was smaller she preferred me over her sister and Riley often got her feelings hurt. Now things have changed and Tessa just LOVES Riley and wants to love on her first thing in the morning and is always tickled to see her and play with her and we couldn't be happier to see these girls in love with each other!</div>

This month I left both girls with J for a little over 24 hours and went to the Women of Faith conference. He was so excited to have the girls to himself and he did such a great job! Of course Tessa had to go and get sick for the first time when I left her but thankfully Jason is such an awesome Daddy and he took great care of her. She ended up with high fever and a trip to the ER but she just had an inner ear infection so once she got some meds she was back to herself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love my girls and my sweet family!<br />

A few weeks ago Sara found out that we could go to the Women of Faith conference in Sacramento with the base chapel! It was a great deal and a great opportunity and we couldn't pass it up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dinner, transportation, a hotel, and a great refreshing break from motherhood!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Friday afternoon we texted each other as we packed and planned our one night getaway!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We met the men in the parking lot and sent them off with the kiddos!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We grubbed on some pizza and then packed into vans and we were off to Sacramento!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIEF3rCs7wXW_G1m_tNoAWKquZsQoJTJJME5WnWt85nwfjfzEds3ak8pQW4ryOXxl9whA_HMwGy0lW48_x_eXU_G104qrMqvQYVp7jZ4WxfpIRTEB5_QMx8Q9AcOvzc9U_RVXSKpgoRTQ7/s1600/IMG_6280.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIEF3rCs7wXW_G1m_tNoAWKquZsQoJTJJME5WnWt85nwfjfzEds3ak8pQW4ryOXxl9whA_HMwGy0lW48_x_eXU_G104qrMqvQYVp7jZ4WxfpIRTEB5_QMx8Q9AcOvzc9U_RVXSKpgoRTQ7/s400/IMG_6280.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jason was really looking forward to having the girls all to himself! I set him up and sent him an email with everything he needed to know about Miss T!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got lots of cute pics sent to me throughout the night!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He took them out to dinner and they had a great time!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The conference was great...lots of great speakers and music!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got out pretty late and by the time we got to our hotel it was almost midnight and we were starving for some reason. We realized there was an Inn N Out just down the street so we did the smart thing and got some grub!!! It was delish!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We finally made it back to our room and got some sleep in the wee hours of the morning! Why is it that when we get a night away we're just having too much fun to sleep!!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to be in the lobby by 8:20 and that came way too soon!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had another great day of amazing testimonies and were totally encouraged by so many stories about how God had worked in these women's lives!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a picnic lunch outside with our group and went back in for more sessions. I had gotten a few texts and pics from Jason and Tessa just didn't look herself and he said she was really sleepy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He took the girls to Riley's soccer practice and T conked out!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then he took them to a birthday party and sent me this pic of her in the swings! This girl loves to swing and he said she never even smiled so he started to question whether she was sick or not and thought she had a fever!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
He had gone ahead and given her some tylenol at the birthday party around 12:15 and when they got home at 2:30 he took her temp and it was 103.3....he was texting me all of this and I felt so helpless! I didn't have my own vehicle but knew I would find a way to get back if I needed to! He is such a great Daddy and he took the best care of her and encouraged me not to worry and stay where I was!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He put a cold compress on her for about a half hour and then took her temp again and this time it was 103.8. Since no one from the pediatric clinic was returning his page he decided to take her to the ER. I was pretty nervous but once again he encouraged me to stay and enjoy myself. I'm a mama though and I wanted nothing more than to be with her!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Riley went to play at Ollie's house...she was really sad that Tessa was sick. Luckily Jason didn't have to wait too long at the ER and when they took her temp it was 102.6 so it was going down a bit. Once the doc came in he discovered an inner ear infection...phew!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once I knew it was an ear infection and she was already feeling better after she got on the meds I finally breathed a sigh of relief! We all ate at Joe's Crab Shack and I was able to enjoy myself!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
She had fun playing with Gavin and apparently gave him lots of kisses!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hannah fed Jason a gourmet meal and he was finally headed home with our girls! I know he had an exhausting day and I'm so thankful for him and what a great Daddy and husband he is! I'm also thankful for such great friends who took care of him and my girls!!</div>

Since Riley had school on Friday and Jason was still off work we thought a date day was in order! My sweet friend Bryn was going to watch Tessa but she was having a rough day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

She had started getting a really bad runny nose the day before and her eyes were watering like faucets...I wasn't sure if it was allergies or what but when she woke up Friday she was a bit worse and her eyes were swollen. Look at this sweet thing! I couldn't bare to leave her and if she was sick or getting sick I didn't want to get Bryn and her sweet boy sick! So she got to go on date day with us!</div>

Thankfully Jason had the rest of the week off after he got home...it was SOOO nice! I wish he could find a way to just work two days a week...that would be great! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wednesday Riley had school and I had some work to get done! Jason headed out to run errands with T and sent me this picture...so sweet! She had obviously adjusted to being in her Daddy's arms! </div>

One of Jason's missions was to get nerf guns for him and Riley...he had been wanting to play this with her for awhile!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After he secured the nerf guns we went and had sushi for lunch...one of our favorites!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jason picked Riley and Carter up from school which just made her day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When they got home I had unpacked the nerf guns and loaded them and shot them both when they came in the door...she was surprised for sure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He got her all set up and they went out to have some wars!</div>

Riley absolutely loves the nerf guns and actually became a bit obsessed! We drew a target on the back door and she doesn't ever want to stop shooting! We have a bunch of wild turkeys that roam on the golf course and they were out later that afternoon and Riley said "Daddy we should bullet them." We both cracked up and told her that's probably not a good idea and then she said "ok...i'll go in my playroom and bullet my bears." I don't think Jason could have been prouder!</div>

With this TDY we didn't have an end date for when Jason would be back! I've learned it's all about expectations when he leaves...so when I thought it would be 4 weeks and it ended up being almost 7 weeks it felt like eternity. In the big scheme of things that's really nothing compared to most of the 4 month separations we've endured. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We knew on Sunday things were wrapping up and he would be home soon but I still had Wednesday or Thursday in my head! Thankfully before he left he was able to go visit my Grandma Rose who lives in Rapid City! She is 90 and just doing great! It worked out where we were able to skype with her so she could see the girls and it was so amazing! I can't imagine all she's seen in her lifetime and to meet Tessa for the first time over a phone!</div>

The sound wasn't great but Jason was able to tell her what was going on and he got a chance to have a good visit with her. He literally worked for 45 days straight so I was so grateful he had some time off to do this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Monday I got an email with his itinerary that he would be home Tuesday!!! I was so excited and we decided to surprise Riley! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to the gym that morning and it was so hard getting out the door but I couldn't use "Daddy's coming home" as ammo to get her to move quicker..haha! I told her we were going to pick up my friend Bryn from the airport and she didn't question it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had NO IDEA!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When we got to the airport I totally messed up and went to the terminal we always go to...the terminal where Southwest comes in! Jason said he was going to surprise her in baggage claim so we walked in and I was videoing and he was nowhere to be found....I wasn't sure what to do and then Riley announced she had to go potty. So while she was taking care of business I called him and immediately realized he had flown in on Delta and we were in the completely wrong terminal....and in this airport there is no way to get to the other terminal without getting back in the car! So I loaded the girls back up and around in circles we went to get to the other terminal and try this again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We headed in and I turned on the video on my phone and Riley really didn't notice so she didn't question anything. She walked up to the bottom of the escalator and proclaimed "I'm going to wait right here for Bryn". About this time Jason came up from behind me and stood right next to her...she glanced over and saw him and just stared with this very confused look on her face! After about 20 seconds of her cute puzzled face he said "It's Daddy" and her face lit up and she leaped into his arms and said "Daddy!!!...Yay!!!" It was precious and we totally got her!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple people were watching as this unfolded and offered to take a picture of all of us!</div>

Well I have officially caught up the 'ol blog! I honestly never thought I would but I made it my priority project while Jason is gone! He's hopefully going to be home this week so it's perfect timing that I cross this off my to do list!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He will have been gone almost 7 weeks by the time he gets home and I have to say I am pretty worn out! This is the first time I'm flying solo with both girls and they have been REALLY good but there's just a lot less "me" time! We are all very ready for him to get home!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few highlights of the past few days:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got Tessa a swing for our backyard and she just loves it...I think she would swing all day if she had it her way! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My dear friend Nicki welcomed her sweet baby girl Allie on Thursday! Tessa and I went to visit her on Friday and Tessa just about jumped out of my arms in glee over her new friend..it was pretty cute!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Jason and I love to watch Shark Tank...in fact there are several episodes on the DVR for us to watch when he gets home! Well...back in April or so they had a couple come on with a sippy cup they had invented...the Lolla Cup. Well a store in Davis was selling it but it was super back ordered because of all the publicity they got on the show but I was able to pick up two Lolla Cups for Tessa on Friday! She got the hang of it pretty quickly and so far we love it!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Riley slept in until 8:00 this morning and Tessa slept until 8:30...it was amazing and that has never happened before so I was definitely taking advantage of the extra hour or more of sleep...especially because I am so bad about staying up too late when Jason is gone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Riley had soccer this morning and then she wanted to help clean her Daddy's truck before he gets home...what a sweet girl! She also asked if she could earn a few dollars so she did have ulterior motives but hey the girl is smart!</div>

I had been feeling like I needed to take my girls on an adventure! It seemed like we had just been doing our normal routine things and I wanted to take advantage of my days with my two girls!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I heard the San Fran zoo was free this week for military because of Fleet Week I decided that would be a perfect outing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend Jessica and her two girls, Madison and Quinn, joined us too and it was a girls day out for sure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all piled into her car and made the trek into the city! The drive in was not bad and the kids were all great!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was finally starting to feel like fall outside but it wasn't too cold at all either!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Riley is so good with her littler friends and she just watched out for Madison the whole time and was very protective of her!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two cuties! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We first went to the children's zoo with the petting zoo and had some fun! The goats and sheep were pretty entertaining. The goats just laid there like they were drugged and the sheep kept walking right into us. Tessa had fun checking them out and Riley had fun feeding them. Madison was scared and just screamed when they came near her...I don't blame her! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we headed to a playground for a bit and then off to see more animals!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We saw anteaters, tigers, monkeys, a snow leopard, a huge rhinoceros, and lots of penguins!</div>

Tessa and Quinn were great...we just had one stroller so we swapped the babies between riding and carrying them and it worked out just fine! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ride home was not as easy as the ride in. We ended up in horrible traffic and it took us 2 hours to get home. Tessa had a fit as we were crossing the Golden Gate bridge and ultimately ended up passing out but oh the screaming! Just before we got home Quinn was done and she ended our trip with screaming! We were ready to be home and out of the car to say the least and so were the babies! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so glad we went and got away for the day...such fun memories!</div>

Tessa is weighing in at 15 lbs 6 ounces and is still wearing size 2 diapers although I think this might be the last of them. She's such a wiggler that she seems to be able to wiggle out of them so I might move her up to size 3 next time I buy them! She's fitting into 6-9 month clothes but still wears some 3 month outfits too...just depends on the outfit! </div>

As for eating she's pretty much on the same schedule. She nurses 4 times a day and takes one 4 oz formula bottle. I did start feeding her lunch this month because I could tell she was hungry! When I introduced lunch she dropped the 2 oz bottle at dinner. She has loved all the purees I have made and I even added a little pumpkin to her fruit medley this last time! I just started giving her finger foods this past week and she is doing great. Before the finger foods she would have a YoBaby yogurt for breakfast, 3 cubes of food for lunch, and 5 cubes for dinner. She loves to snack on Mums and Puffs as well! Her first finger food was some pumpkin pancake and she loved it! This past week I've been giving her bread, corn, grapes, avocado, strawberries, and honeydew and so far so good. She does a good job of picking it up and getting it into her mouth! For as much as this girl eats and as little as she is it's clear she is just blessed with a great metabolism!</div>

She's been sleeping great but I've had to throw in the towel on getting the girls to sleep in the same room...at least for now! My goal was to get it done while Jason was gone but then I realized I need sleep to care for two little ones on my own..haha! A few nights of Tessa waking up crying which then woke Riley up and going into find them both screaming was enough for me! Tessa still cries some nights but if left alone she gets herself right back to sleep...but if she's in the room with Riley it most often wakes Riley up and at that point there's no chance of her getting herself back to sleep! So she's back to the guest room for now and I think I might just have Jason move her crib in there for now. I still nap her in her crib so she is used to it as well and she sleeps in there at night on Friday and Saturday because those are the nights Riley gets to sleep with me when Jason is out of town! She still takes 2 good naps a day about 1 1/2 hours each...and on the days we are out and about she might take 3 shorter ones...she is still very flexible and I'm so grateful for that! She will sleep in the carrier, in the stroller, in the ergo...she's easy! She sleeps a consistent 10-12 hours at night and I can't complain! She usually always is up between 6:30 and 7:00 but she just hangs out in her bed for 15 minutes before she really starts fussing for me to get her...I hope she continues to wake up mellow and snuggly like her big sister!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
She is constantly on the go...crawling, pulling up, opening cabinets, pulling drawers, looking for outlets, putting anything and everything in her mouth! Changing her diaper should require at least 2 adults...it's such a challenge as she constantly is trying to roll over and crawl away! I always have to have a toy to let her hold onto and hope that it occupies her...most of the time she likes to hold the diaper cream tube but sometimes we have to change things up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's also SOOO fun to play with...she loves to play peek-a-boo, chase, and has even been crawling through the tunnel!</div>

Even though she's home with me all the time she is a social girl and she loves being with other babies! We belong to a gym that has great childcare and she spends several hours a week in the care of the sweet folks there and she does great! Only in the last few weeks has she ever cried when I drop her off and even when she has they can get her distracted and happy in minutes! They LOVE her and fight over who gets to hold her when I'm walking in the door! She's also done great in the church nursery. The last time I dropped her off she started crying but as soon as she saw her friends and toys she was all smiles! </div>

Addi is her BFF! These two are so fun together and now they really get excited when they see each other! I love it!</div>

All I know is she is a happy girl with the most contagious smile and she can be as wild as she wants to be as long as she is a sweet girl!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's getting more interested in playing with Riley! Sometimes it is hard for Riley to understand that Tessa isn't just going to play what Riley wants to play but we're working on it! Riley is an AMAZING big sister and is constantly doting over her sister and saying "she is soooo cute"! She wants to hug and kiss her all day long and she longs for Tessa to show her affection and attention!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong...she challenges me in ways that drive me crazy sometimes and I think this year has really been the hardest. She has an opinion, she is very smart, and she's testing the waters for what will work and even though I want to be her best friend I have had to suck it up many times and first be her mom. It's so hard...the hardest job on this planet! But the hard moments don't even compare to the amazing conversations, the belly laugh giggles, and the love this girl has! I am honored to be her mama!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some things I've been jotting down over the last couple of months that I want to remember about this stage of life with Riley!</div>
<br />
* She absolutely loves lunchables...I'm not proud of that but sometimes they are very convenient...but they literally make her day! :)<br />
* She often rides a roller coaster of emotions. In a short span of time she will go from arguing and yelling "I can do what I want to do" to almost taking it overboard by saying "I love doing chores and sharing God's blessings with the world and I love to obey my mommy" :)<br />
* In an effort to make our mornings not so unbearable with the daily disdain for her simple chores of getting dressed, making her bed, and brushing her teeth I made a super cute chore chart and the reward for checking off all of her boxes was a trip to the treasure chest where I had it stocked with lots of fun princess toys. It is not a perfect system and we seem to stray from it...it's hard to figure out what the right method is! <br />
* We carpool with Carter for preschool...Faith usually does the morning carpool and I usually do the afternoon carpool. We often text each other about the hilarious conversations. One day I was doing the morning run and realizing how much more entertaining it was because they aren't so tired...Riley was going on and on about something and explaining it in extreme detail when Carter stopped her mid-sentence and simply said "that's too many words Riley")...I about drove off the road I found that so funny.<br />

<br />
* Riley LOVES to dress in her wedding dress and talk about all things wedding. Sometimes it scares me but I think it's normal! She has had some legitimate crushes...first with a little boy Cash at the CDC and then a little boy Wyatt at Shepherd of the Hills. She got a cute flower girl dress from Ellie and wears it ALL the time...when we go to AR she gets to wear the dress Gaby wore in our wedding!<br />

<br />
* Riley continues to pic something and master it. In the last year she has completely mastered hoola hooping or "hoola looping" as she calls it and she can also do a pretty darn good cartwheel!<br />
* One day she came home and asked if we wanted to play "tag you hear it" and we were a bit puzzled until we figured out that was her interpretation of "tag you're it"...so cute!<br />
<br />
* One of my favorite things to do with Riley is to bake and we also love to watch Cupcake Wars. As soon as we start watching an episode she is ready to get her kitchen toys out and play Cupcake Wars...it's so cute and fun! Just for the record I'm always the baking assistant! ;)<br />

* We tell her every day that she is beautiful but we have really been working on teaching her the difference between being beautiful on the inside and the outside. I think she's the most beautiful girl in the world but I want her inner beauty to overshadow her outer beauty!<br />

<br />
* Riley is really an emotional girl...she has genuine emotions for and towards her friends. One day we were at a gymnastics playdate and her friend Kylee hurt her arm and had to go to the emergency room. Riley was literally in tears she was so sad for her friend. This year for 4 year old preschool she switched from T, Thur to the M,W,F class and left behind her best friend Maddy. She has been in tears on a couple of occasions about how much she missed her best friend. She also tends to get her feelings hurt very easily. When a friend says or does something not so nice she is in tears because her feelings are hurt. This is a tough one because I don't ever want her to feel like she has to hide her emotion, but she is also a girl and can use those emotions in a negative way too. Like I said...she's a smart one!<br />
* Riley has a crazy imagination! Sometimes it just comes out in her world of playing and sometimes she likes to pretend that it's real! When my parents were in town for my birthday she would not give up on the fact that she broke her leg "many years ago" and was on crutches and her parents just don't remember..haha!<br />
* Whenever Riley starts a sentence with "i have a great idea" it's clearly going to be a moment where she wants to do something you will probably have to say no to..good try honey!<br />
* When Riley gets an answer that she doesn't like she's been saying "how do you think that makes me feel?" I think they encourage talking about things like this at school but sometimes it drives me bonkers. I vividly remember one day after we dropped Carter off from school and I told her we were going to the store. She wanted me to go home so she could get a toy to take to the store and I was not going to do that. She pitched a huge fit and ended her tantrum with "how do you think that makes me feel?"<br />
* I got a new pair of glasses and Riley kept asking to play with my old ones. She would put them on and sit in bed and "read" her Bible...sweet thing! I didn't want her wearing my prescription glasses so I found a super cheap pair with plain lenses at Claire's one day and she was in love! She now tells everyone she wears them for her allergies...just like her mama!<br />

<br />
* One Saturday Riley was going with Jason to run a quick errand and she asked if they could go get a treat...here's how the conversation went down: <br />
J: "no not tonight..it's too late"<br />
R: "maybe just a toy treat and not a drink treat Daddy..is that a good idea?"<br />
J: "no honey..we're just going on a ride in my truck"<br />
R: "awww...I thought we were buddies"<br />
* She has become a huge fan of Doc McStuffins on the Disney channel and absolutely loves playing doctor! When we went in for Tessa's 6 month appt she taught Dr Tan about "ostenosis." She explained this diagnosis as a "big little booboo on the horse's hair that needs a shot"<br />
* Some days she likes to pretend that I'm Riley, she's the mommy, and Tessa's her baby...on any given day I can't remember who she is or who I'm supposed to be but she plays the parts well. Sometimes she pretends that we are friends and we do things together with our babies..me with Tessa and her with Sally...she's say to me "oh what's your name again?" and then "are you that new girl from Bible study?...It's so good to see you again..i thought i'd never see you...what's your baby's name?" - She is soooo funny!<br />
* One night she was looking at a magazine and saw a picture of lamb chops and had some questions...she was a little concerned when she realized it was a lamb and I told her God created some animals to be good healthy food for humans. Then she asked if zebra was yummy and I said no and she said "phew"<br />
* Her latest phase is one where she wants to be JUST like her mama! I mean down to every little detail! I try to have fun with it but sometimes it gets frustrating because there are just some things I can't let my 4 year old do or have and she doesn't like that. She wants keys just like mine, a diaper bag just like mine, she picks out clothes and says "it's a real mommy shirt", and she is convinced she is a "real" mommy! Jason reminds me that it is the biggest compliment that she wants to be just like me and he's so right! I love her to pieces and I'm honored she wants to be like me! Here's a few examples:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
She wanted a gym bag just like mine so we used her princess sleeping bag carry case to use as her gym bag...she has her shoes, her dirty clothes in a plastic bag, her makeup bag, a case for her shower soap, hair dryer, and a brush!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have hosted Bible study at the house the past few weeks and it's actually been hard for Riley because she wants to come out and be a part of Bible study. I know how smart she is and how her little mind works and so I explained to her that this is mommy time and she needed to stay in her playroom. She did pretty good hanging out in my room or her playroom but when we were almost done and doing prayer requests she just couldn't wait anymore and she brought her build a bears out and her dolls and set up her own Bible study...it was the cutest thing and I just love the way God made this special girl!</div>

We were so excited to have Grammie come visit for a weekend while Jason is gone and we had lots of girl time planned!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She ended up having quite a travel day and getting in much later than we thought but we were just glad she was here and we headed to Dad's Kitchen...a diner in Sacramento that had been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The food was GREAT...they are known for their burgers and they didn't disappoint! We headed home with full bellies and some tired little girls!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Riley went to school on Friday and Grammie watched Tessa while I did a few things BY MYSELF and got some work done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started the day getting my hair cut and going to Starbucks BY MYSELF to drink a Pumpkin Spice Latte and work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I headed home to pick up Hank for his vet appointment on base and got him all taken care of and then headed home for a work call.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so nice to be able to get out alone...much needed for me! I love love love my girls but this mama needed a little break!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We picked up Riley from school and ran a few errands to get supplies for some Pinterest projects...fun fun fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That night I made pumpkin pancakes for dinner and we ate outside because the weather was just gorgeous!</div>

Sunday we went to church and then I was brave and took all 3 kids to the commissary that afternoon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Riley and Ollie got to ride together in the car cart so they had a blast and I carried Tessa in the carrier!</div>

Hannah came and got Ollie later that night after he was fast asleep!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Phew...I survived!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have three kids all by myself all weekend about did me in! The kids were good...a few episodes that almost sent me to the looney bin..but all in all they were really great! It's just juggling three kids especially with the fact that Tessa is all over the place and into everything right now. I needed to be in two places at once on numerous occasions but that just isn't possible! I notoriously stay up too late while Jason is gone and Saturday I realized I needed a good night's sleep so I would have the energy and patience to take good care of these kiddos...so Sunday was a much better day for me! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a fun weekend and I think everyone was worn out...in a good way!</div>

The weekends are always the toughest when Jason is gone. That's just supposed to be family time. I try to keep us busy but sometimes need the motivation. This Sunday we went to church and then came home for lunch and naps...I was thinking of taking the girls up to Nut Tree but also needed to do some grocery shopping. Just as we left the store Ashley texted me and said they were heading up to Nut Tree...perfect...just the motivation I needed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we met the Burrells and the Fields up there and had a great afternoon / evening of fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We headed to Peets first...where I had to get an iced Pumpkin Latte because it was quite toasty outside! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Blake and Riley...could they be any cuter?</div>
