In 7 weeks we will be parents!!

33 weeks has finally arrived. Its been easy other then my husband not being here to experience the weeks with me. Keeping him involved hasn't been the easiest task but I am doing my best. My heart breaks knowing how bad he wants to be home with me. He is a such a good man and I know if he was home he wouldn't miss one doctor appointment, would baby shop anytime I wanted him to, he would help me pick things for her room and the gear we want so I guess what I'm saying is I'm a lucky girl to have him.
Tenleys room is about done. I have been nesting a lot lately. I washed all her clothes, sheets, towels. folded everything a few times over lol. Her cradle is finish and in the room agh feels good to say that it wasn't a simple project. Just one very important thing missing... we need Daddy home.

Pink ~n~ Sweet

We are officially down to 8 weeks left. The day I took these photos I was so upset. It had been almost 4 days that I didn't hear a word from Tucker. When 72 hours goes by in the deployment world it makes the wife at home start to get nervous. Now don't get me wrong I did NOT have a bad feeling anything was wrong with him. Just made me very uneasy. Anyways while I was trying to keep my mind off things I decided to play with the camera lol!!

This is just one way Tenley and I are capturing our love for Tucker aka Daddy while he is away!

~Crazy about my soldier~

I know most wives say they are proud but I'm so PROUD of him. Every time I see a new picture, hear his voice, read a message I get butterflies. Here are a few pictures of him and his guys over in Afghanistan. and no its not Idaho for all you Idahoans thing that looks like southern Id, but it does kind look like it huh!

Tucker is in the last row 3rd to the end on the right

However in this photo He is the one in the middle not looking at the camera.
When i asked why he said "I was yelling at one of my guys"
That's a full time Staff Sargent for ya!

Make Over! Fabric Style!

Tuckers mom gave us his Great Grandma Capps rocker for the nursery. It fit me well because I'm well short lol. The green just wasn't us. I found the perfect fabric in Salt Lake. I must say my mom is good she did about 85% of the work. Me about 15% ha ha. Tucker insisted we keep some of the wood showing. I wasn't to happy only because I wanted a more modern look. However now I love the wood, so good job babe! This wasn't an easy project by any means. I didn't think it would take as long either, but when your mom is a perfectionist (wonder where I get it Tucker). It takes longer. I have to say it was worth the time I love the chair and its going to look great in her nursery. I have a feeling Tucker and i will be spending many nights in this chair. So thanks moms. We love the family pass down.

Holy Crap 29 Weeks only 11 to go!

Wow 29 weeks already!! Tucker and I where just talking about how fast the weeks are flying by. Its so nice that its is. I want my Tenley and Hubby home. We have 11 weeks till full term and Tucker should be home around then too. I cant wait to see him holding our little girl. I know it will be a moment I never forget.

~Man I'm getting big~

Lumber Jack Lodge -n- Lolo, MT

Had a great Sunday up at Lumber jack Lodge at a 3D archery hunt. I know its Mothers day but My mom said "go Have fun". So dad and I did. 30 targets to hit ranging 10-50 yards. Nice weather even though it was cold during some parts of the hunt. I'm 28 weeks now so there where ares of the hunt that where difficult to hike. At one part I had to sit on my bum and slide down the hill so i wouldn't fall. (don't tell Tuck he may not like that lol). All in all a great day tired and so happy to be home off my feet. Sad part of the day I missed Tuckers call because there wasn't service where we were. He is so sweet to wish me Happy Mother's day. I don't look at my self as a mom yet, but the fact that he does is very sweet. I feel like the luckiest girl to have a husband like him. He is just so caring a always shows me he is thinking about me.

Another month bites the dust!!

May 1st I love it. It means another month down and about 2 1/2 -3 months till Tenley and Tucker are here. This deployment seems so long but then another months goes by and I think YES getting closer. I feel so blessed to be able to talk to him as much as we do. Hearing his voice and seeing him online can really put a big smile on my face and heart. I'm really hoping May flys by fast to. I have a baby shower in SLC on the 15th and will spend almost a week there with my two sister, my mom, kayla and Robb so we should have some fun. Then up to Twin for another shower being thrown by Jan and Tuckers Aunt Holly. Its going to be fun but I wont know to many people there so interesting also. I just hope Tuckers month goes by fast too.
