Love them!

I had forgotten about these pictures until I was looking through my camera the other day. We took them before Lamar left for Morocco. I was especially happy to find these pictures, we are missing our hubby/daddy! We have a picture of Miles and Lamar in Miles' bedroom, and every night we get the picture and give it a kiss and say "I love you Daddy, good night!". When it's my turn though, I say " I love you sweetheart". Miles picked up on that and now when he kisses the picture he says " I love you sweetheart". It sounds so funny and cute!
Oh, I love these two guys!!

Beautiful Zion

We went down to Zion National Park before Lamar had to leave to Morocco. (He is there currently, and will return early June) We love it there and we had such a great time!


Handsome daddy and son

Typical of trying to take a picture with Miles!!



Miles loves to race these days. He says " On your mark, get six, GO!"

Amazed

Lamar and I have been absolutely amazed at the outpouring of love and support that we have received over the past couple of weeks. So many friends, neighbors, church friends, and family members have reached out to us, offering us support as we prepare to enter this new and challenging chapter of our lives. We are profoundly grateful for all of the love that has been shown to us, and know that this support along with the continued help of our Father in Heaven will carry us through the hard times. We have been reminded of the innate goodness that people have. Thank you everyone!!! May the love and encouragement we have felt be passed on to you as we all face challenges that may arise...

Fun in the Afghan Sun

Hey everyone,

This is Lamar. I found out this last tuesday evening that my company will be called to go to afghanistan later this year. I'll be transferred to California this summer to undergo deployment training and then we'll be off to Afghanistan for a deployment. Sarah and I appreciate all the concern and support that has been shown to us in the past few days. I'll keep everyone posted as I find out more information on dates and schedules. Love you all!

Having Fun With Daddy

I have been trying to be better about picture taking lately, and my two favorite subjects are Lamar and Miles! Here they are reading a book together.


This past weekend we had the first swim of the season!! Miles had a great time and loves the water. I want to get him in swim lessons this summer.




Miles was hilarious flip-flopping around in his little flippers. He loves wearing them both inside and outside of the water.

By the way...still no news about Lamar. We'll update when we know something...hopefully that will be soon

More waiting...

Just a quick update...we are still waiting on the news concerning Lamar. We did learn that we won't find out anything until April 17th at the earliest. We'll be sure to let you know as soon as we have more information.

Thanks everyone for your concern and support!!

Finally...some pictures!

Thanks to a fun night at Tiffany and Mike's house, I finally have some pictures to post. I was hoping to get a really good picture of the kids, but that is easier said than done. Still, I got some cute ones I think. It was hilarious watching the kids play with Lamar, and Miles had so much fun playing with his little cousins. It was nice to see some family, including Brooklynn and her two little ones who were in town for a visit.
Miles, Jackson, Maddie and Lamar. Yes, Miles was trying to curl Lamar's hair.







Lamar's legs were no obstacle for Jackson!



Miles and Chloe

Miles and Kate


I thought Miles was especially cute with the little baby girls. He was so sweet... he's going to be a great big brother!

A Little Update

I haven't updated Miles blog for so long (sorry)...mainly because I just haven't been taking many pictures lately. I hope to get on the ball and have some pics to post soon.

Miles is doing well, he is so much fun! He really is my little buddy and I love it. Especially when Lamar goes out of town...it's so nice to have him here with me. Lamar is in California for the weekend on Marine Corps business. We are gearing up for his big trip to Morocco in May.

Miles is really getting a good vocabulary. It is so fun to hear him speak in full sentences. He still loves trains and he is into Star Wars lately thanks to Daddy. They are good little buddies, too. It is fun to see Miles grow and become more independent. He can brush his teeth all by himself now, and we are working on potty training.
Miles is enjoying his school that he goes to for a few hours 3 times a week. Last Friday was picture day (how cute!) So at least I'll have those pictures to share in a little while.

I am looking forward to the semester being over in a month. It has been great and I love it, but I am ready for a little break. I do think Miles will miss going to his school, I'm going to have to think of something to keep him busy...maybe swim lessons or something.

Lamar is doing well, and is in Cali as I mentioned. He was able to spend some time with a couple of his buddies last night and they went to one of his favorite teriyaki places in So Cal. He has been traveling a lot lately, but we are handling it ok.

The big news for our family is that we are expecting another little boy this August! We are beyond thrilled and Miles seems to be understanding the concept of "little brother". If he is asked where little brother is, he points to my tummy. I can't wait for the great little friends that Miles and this new baby will be. I'm going to be a bit outnumbered with 3 boys, but I know that they will all take good care of me. I just love the thought of Lamar playing with his two little boys!

Stay tuned for pictures...
