Happy Halloween!!!

So I would have to say this was the longest Halloween we have ever had. It was so much fun, but after a whole week of trick or treating, we were surely ready to be done. The girls were both the cutest, and in my opinion had the best costumes. We went to a carnival, a few party's, had chili and corn bread with a few good friends, and really enjoyed our trick or treating with our two beautiful girls. I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween as well :).

October first was my Grandpa Stewart's Birthday. It was a surprise and a darn good one. The girls and I at the last minute decided we would head over to Georgia for my Grandpa's surprise party. We hopped on a greyhound bus and drove 12 hours, when we got off the bus Courtlynn got the surprise of her life. My parents were waiting to pick us up. I have never seen a little girls eyes light up so big. She was so happy to finally see someone she knew, and adored. The party turned out so well, so many people came. It was a good turn out and really amazing food! Happy Happy Birthday to my wonderful grandpa. It was so awesome to see my dads brothers and sisters and my parent's. Time went by so fast, before we knew it, it was time to head back to Mississippi. The hardest part was saying our goodbyes, we shed a lot of tears, Courtlynn had the hardest time. The wonderful thing is the memories we made and soon we will see our family again. We drove back to Mississippi on the greyhound bus, and one thing is for sure next time we will fly, LOL.

Courtlynn is still sweet and sassy. Such a little mama, I think sometimes she forgets who really is boss. She is at the age where she thinks she can make all her decisions, I wish she would want to stay my little baby forever. I am afraid she is growing up. A few days ago, she went around telling everyone she is six, I reminded her that she is four and a half, she argued and argued that she is a big girl now and that she is six. She is so funny, if you argue with her, there is no winning. She knows we are heading home really soon, but the time is just not going fast enough for her. Days seem like months to her, and today she would like to see her Grandma's and Grandpa's. She is very home sick, and very often we have to make special phone calls to our family back home in Idaho. She knows Grandpa and Grandma Davis are coming soon to her daddy's graduation. She asked if they were going to park there car in our trunk, that way they can ride home with us when we go home to Idaho to visit. She says Mom my heart wants to be in Idaho for Christmas. How cute is that, and I am so happy to say my little girls wish will come true. She keeps me laughing, sometimes it is so hard to keep a serious face with her, and do the mom thing. She loves to be my helper in all that I do, from washing dishes to scrubbing the floor, dressing Kaydrie, you name it she loves to help. She loves to go make her bed, it may not look all perfect but I love it because she tried. Today if you tell Courtlynn she is little she will say I am not little I am big, but I don't care what she says she will always be my little girl. I am so proud of her.

Kaydrie to me is still my little baby, but people keep telling me she is getting so big. I guess I am in denial. She is in to everything now, luckily she can't figure out how to open my cupboards yet. She scoots forward, backward, rolls every where, and is getting quite good at it. She is still the happiest baby, getting a bit more crabbier, I think it is cause her teeth are trying to come in. Still no teeth, and it makes me so happy. She enjoys her time with daddy, Courtlynn and I, and loves to give us all kisses, which I so much love all the slobbery kisses. She has the cutest personality, such a playful little lady. She is now getting really rough with my blinds, she has torn them down a few times, it is so hard to keep her away from those thing. If I ever need a brake the blinds save the day, hahaha. She has found her voice and loves to jibber jabber, she tells all kinds of story's, not quite sure what she is saying but we love them. Courtlynn and Kaydrie adore each other, not one disagreement yet, I sure do enjoy every minute with my girls. Two sweet little blessings!

Danny graduates in two and a half weeks, so we are getting very excited to get to go home and visit. Packing again, I feel like we are always moving. I am becoming quite the packer. November 30th is my husbands graduation. He will soon be a meteorologist, I think it is pretty neat. The past few months have been hard to leave our family back in Idaho, but it has surely strengthened us as a family. I am so thankful to have such an amazing husband and girls. I am blessed with so many blessing in my life, so very proud of our girls and my husband.

We are on the count down now, 2 months til Danny's graduation. As long as everything goes as planed, then we will be on our way home to Idaho to visit for a bit, Yea!!! Can't wait to see our family and friends.

The past few months have been an adventure. My pop's was burned really bad, and had to go in for a lot of painful therapy. Stewart's have a high tolerance for pain, my dad was a true fighter. My dad is doing so good now, for the most part all the burns are healed now. The doctors say it will take at least a year for his skin to be mostly back to normal. So thankful to still have my dad, what a blessing. Love you Dad!!!

I finally made it back to Georgia to see our Stewart family. The last time I went was twelve years ago, with my parents, sisters and brother. That is one trip we will never forget as siblings! A lot of laughs are shared, as we took a long road adventure to Georgia. We packed seven kids in the suburban and my mom drove all the way. My poor mother, I think we would get a long so much better if we did it now. I would not cry if someone was touching me, or would I? So I loved our 2010 trip to Georgia. My aunt Patricia and Debbie drove 8 hours to come get the girls and I, and then on the road we went. Where they drove another 8 hours, that is love right there. Those two are a hoot to be around. It was so nice to see all my Georgia Stewart family. The first day we got to Georgia none of us really had any sleep except for the girls, but I was so excited to see them all, I could not sleep. We went to babyland! It is the place where cabbage patch dolls are born. Some of the dolls were thousands of dollars, I was shocked. Courtlynn loved it! We watched a cabbage patch baby be born, and we were able to name it Krista Courtlynn. We adopted twins, did a little magic and there we adopted girls named Krista and Alicia, hahahaha. While we were there this lady seriously thought Kaydrie was a cabbage patch baby, LOL. My aunts and I got a big laugh about that. One thing is for sure though, I had the cutest cabbage patch baby there, and she was not for sale, hehehehe. We went to Stone Mountain, had a wonderful picnic and watched a awesome laser and firework show. My aunt Deby is a hair beautician, my hair was looking pretty horrible, seriously nightmare. So we did a hair day, went and bought a ton of products for a amazing deal and off Deb went to make me beautiful. She did a awesome job. My aunt Patrica teaches water aerobics. It was so fun to go to her class and get my bum worked off. Wish they were both closer to me! The next day we headed back to Mississippi. Kinda a bummer for me cause I really loved being with them all. We had a fun ride home, and said our goodbyes for a bit. Loved seeing my Georgia family! Love and miss you all!

I know for sure I am not a huge fan of Biloxi Mississippi. But the good thing about it is, we have met some really good friends. I will be sad when we all have to split our ways, maybe we will be stationed with them again. The girls are getting bigger everyday. I love being able to be a stay at home mom and play with my girls all day. Courtlynn can spell half of her name, we are working on the rest. What a mean mother I am for giving her such a long name. The other day Court proved her daddy wrong. Danny didn't think she could ride a bike. So he gets a bike down at the store and tells her if you can ride this I will buy you some training wheels. She rode it! Daddy bought her, her training wheels and had to figure out how to put them on. I so wish I would have taken pictures of him doing it. He loved it, and was so proud of Court when she rode her bike. Court is missing everyone back home. I try and keep her busy, so she does not get so homesick. It is amazing how many people have touched her life. Sometimes she comes in crying, asking if we can go back to Idaho :(. It makes me so sad. She has the cutest little friend here. Her name is Elle, and they play so well together. They both have a little spark to them, and are both so cute. Courtlynn loves he little friend. Kaydrie is still the happiest baby. She only fusses when she needs some food in the belly. She is scooting every where and sticks her bum up in the air and rocks back and forth. I love it when she does the push ups, so cute. She is just about ready to crawl. I would love it if she just would slow down. Why do your baby's have to grow so fast? Kaydrie loves her food, every kind, even peas. Right now she is a little grabber, I think her favorite thing to do is grab my hair. Courtlynn and Kaydrie are becoming even more better buds. I love watching them play and having there little chats together. We are having the time of our lifes with the two of them. Geez I love being a mom. So proud of our wonderful Girls. Today Danny and I have been sealed for 3 years. I will always remember that day, so special. I would have to say that was the best day of my life. We are so blessed to have two beautiful blessings. Danny is doing very well in school, He has a 94% over all and is one of the top in his class. He is working really long hours, so we really enjoy our weekends when we have our daddy. Tomorrow the girls and I leave on a bus to a special place to celebrate a very special someones birthday. I will give you more details later. Courtlynn will be getting the best surprise soon, I can't wait. She so deserves it, I am so happy it is almost here. I know I am leaving you all hanging, It is a secret for now, but I will tell ya soon. So peace for now!

We are loving our life in Mississippi! We got a new SUV, it is a Doge Durango and it is Blue. I love it!!! It is so nice to have more room, tinted windows and A/C. Courtlynn also loves it. She says mom we are up high, and smiles. She has a better view now and the sun does not shine in her face. She can no longer yell @ the sun, LOL. Traveling will be so much nicer. I am so happy my babies don't fry in the back anymore.

Courtlynn has decided she want's to learn Karate. She asked if I could please take her to Karate lessons. Danny said to her "Did you know your mom knows karate, she could teach you." She smiled, and now she asks me everyday! Our little Courtie has such an imagination. I love watching her play as she pretends to be all kinds of things from bears, to frogs, to princesses, you name it she has been it. She loves her little sissy and would mall her to death if i would let her. It is so much fun to watch the two of them play with each other. Court is always trying to help with all the fun to do baby stuff. She is an awesome helper, I am so proud of her. She still is also our ballerina, she dances everywhere, @ the parks, grocery stores, the beach, in her car seat, everywhere! She loves to be the center of attention, I love to watch her having fun and being a kid. She is a sneakster throughout the day. I have to keep a close eye on her cause she tries to do things she is not suppose to while I am not looking, such a turkey!!! She says the funniest things lately, I find myself laughing a lot. Today she tells me "Mom you need to keep Kaydrie's bows on, or she will look like a boy." I said " Do you look like a boy when you don't have your bows in?" she says " No, I where my bows." Hahahaha, I guess you are a boy if you don't wear bows. One day she said she would die if she had to eat dinner, her bones would break. She has always struggled sitting @ the table eating her food. She just wants to play, play, play. Well what a mean mom I am, I make her eat her vegetables. Right now her favorite movie is Princess and The Frog, she watches it over and over. When daddy comes home from work, Court will hide and wait for her daddy to come find her. They run around the house playing tag. The two of them love to pick on me, they are so funny! Everyday is a happy day, with our little Courtie, yes we have our moment's, but we have more wonderful then not so good. Don't sweat the small things. I always tell my Court "Don't worry be happy." Now when I am sad she tells me the same. She always makes me smile.

Kaydrie is our little Monkey. Now she is rolling all over the place, it still needs a little work, but man she can go. Before you know it she will be crawling, ahhhhhhhh!!!! Her favorite thing is to find the blinds and kick them. The blinds can entertain her for hours. Our little Kaydrie loves her daddy! The minute she hears his voice she starts looking for him. When she finds him she lights up with fireworks inside. She goes crazy when she sees her papa! She is such a sweet little spirit, I have the hardest time not wanting to hold her. Why would you want to put down such a cute thing. She is such a happy little girl, not very often do you see her upset. We did good, with two amazing babies. What can I say she loves her mama, if she had her way she would have me hold her all day. She loves to play and gibber. Kay sleeps, plays, eat and poops. One thing is for sure, she is a home body like her mom. She is not the biggest fan of her car seat, who would be. So she loves her things and being able to move and play. The thing Kaydrie loves the most are her sissy, mommy, daddy, swing, bottle, baths and the blinds. With all these things she is a happy girl. Kaydrie likes to sit in her bumbo and watch Baby Einstein with her sister. Kaydrie loves Courtlynn to death, I love our baby girls!!! Everyday I wake up, I can't believe I have the two most beautiful, amazing little girls.

Danny is still doing amazing @ his schooling, last week he got a 100% on his test. He is working so hard, I am so very proud of him. We have officially gotten our next station. It is in Tuscon Arizona. We are so excited cause we will only be 15 hours away from home. We will be able to come home to visit, YEAH!!!! Danny is the best daddy anyone could have. His girls both adore him, and sure light up when there daddy comes home. We love our weekends with our daddy, we have had so much fun with our family. The best times are when we stay home and hang out together. We love to BBQ, play games, watch movies and snuggle. We love going to the beach, movies, to get ice cream. Life is truly wonderful for us. We have two angel babies, who are everything to us. Everyday is a happy day in our home! Love my family.

Kinda crazy but it has been 8 weeks since we left our home in Idaho. Not gonna lie, but we are all getting a bit home sick. Missing all our wonderful family and friends. I can't even tell you how wonderful it is to have our daddy back. Courtlynn really struggled when Danny was in training, and finally she is a happy girl. Well for the most part, she really misses her grandma's, grandpa's, aunt's, uncle's, cousins and friends. We try and stay busy and do lot's of fun things. Courtlynn's favorite thing to do is going to the beach. She says it is one big swimming pool. She is always begging to go, so we try and go quite often. Court's new thing is her dance class. She loves to dance!!! It is a mixture of ballet, tap and gymnastics. Her favorite part is the ballet. Right now there is a summer break, so no dance for two months. It is driving Courtlynn crazy, she really wants to go. So we turn up the music @ home, and shake our booty's. Her new thing is coloring pretty pictures on everywhere but paper. LOL, what a funny little girl! I have found it on the walls, in the tub, on her shoes. I have hid anything that you can write, or color with. How can you get mad @ such beautiful pictures. When it is not to hot outside, we go play on the toys and go to the pool. Courtlynn is loving being a big sister. I was worried @ first that Courtlynn and Kaydrie would be to far apart and not get along. But the wonderful thing is that they are the best of buds. They talk, play and giggle with each other. I love it! Kaydrie is getting quite the personality, she is the happiest baby 99% of the time, and then the Settles comes out, Bahahaha. @ first she hated her baths, but now she loves them. For the most part she still only wakes up once in the night to eat, and then goes back to bed. And she loves her naps. Kaydrie always wakes up happy. She is so much fun to play with, she fits right in with all our crazziness. Danny is working very hard, couldn't be more proud of him and all of his accomplishments. He has the 2nd highest grade in his class, always getting 95% to 100% on his tests. Monday though Friday he heads to school @ 4:30am and doesn't get home til 5pm or 6pm. He has some long days, but he still comes home and we have a blast as a family. Our little girls adore him! They love to play with there daddy. We are back to playing hide and seek, and all kinds of fun things. A lot of things have changed for the better. We have a wonderful life, and are oh so happy. You never know when you will lose the ones you love, so always cherish every minute!
