Much to do...

Well life is definitely busier here it seems, but it is a lot of fun. My brother Shannon is in football and he really enjoys playing. We have gone to two of his games now and Tamina LOVES being able to yell and shout and not get told not to lol. She was having so much fun last night cheering and yelling go, go, go! Her uncle Christopher even let her have his bell to ring and so every time she heard everyone else ringing their cow bells she would pick hers up and shake it with all her might to. I wish I would have thought to get my camera out and take a picture, it was so cute.

I did get a couple pictures of her at the game last week, it was much colder last week, but she was still so cute all bundled up and cheering.

She definitely sleeps well on the nights when she is out there cheering so hard. I love how she isn't super attached to any blanket or anything like that except the first toy that her Daddy gave her. She doesn't HAVE to sleep with it every night or anything, but it is the one toy that she loves more then any other. It makes her Dad very proud because it is one he picked out and gave to her. It is Lady from Lady and the Tramp and here is a cute picture of her cuddling her one night.

She is such a big helper. She loves to help me and her grandma pick up and clean the house or even push the little cart in the store (I should get a picture of her with that to), but she just loves to help. She is getting better at talking and wanting to talk now, once in a while she gets really frustrated because she just wants to talk so much and yet she can't get it out fast enough. One day when we were out running errands she was just sitting and being so good on a couch that they had in the room and I caught this picture...

I just love the face that I caught because it almost looks like she is giving me her "I'm innocent" look yet she was being so good and wasn't getting into any trouble at all, lol. She sure is the light of our lives. Brandon and I would be lost without her. Sometimes she tests our patience, but only to remind us to have patience and explain things to her without blowing up. Sometimes she just makes us laugh until we are crying. Sometimes she makes us cry, but usually they are happy tears because she learned something we have been teaching her or she just caught on to what we have been explaining and it makes sense and you can see the lightbulb click on for her. It is kind of crazy sometimes how much we can love someone who we have known and watched grow for a little under two years and yet we know that love is just going to keep growing. It is the same way with our relationship. We have known eachother for a little over 4 years and yet we still surprise each other with things we didn't know before, or we are able to understand the other one better because we have learned how they are and what makes them tick and how to just enjoy the moments of life together.

Brandon is such a sweet heart because he is always doing so much for me and Tamina and still finds ways to surprise us and make us feel even more special. The last couple of times he has been home he has surprised me by showing up at work and taking me to dinner when I got off, with flowers, and even with a necklace at different times. I sure don't know what I would do without him. We have been through so much together and yet we still have so much time we get to spend together. I am so grateful we get eternity because I wouldn't want to be by anyone else's side or raise our kids with anyone else. He completes me and makes me so happy. I know we have gone through some stressful times, even lately with moving and all, but we feel we are where we are supposed to be and that makes us both happy.

Well it's off to more fun today, and getting ready for Brandon to come home on Monday. I always look forward to his days off and being able to spend time with him. :) Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
