its been awhile...

So a dear old friend (Eric) mentioned to me that it has been awhile since i posted and i felt really bad. haha... so i will try to post more often... this one is for you Eric.

In the last couple of months we have celebrated Travis's birthday. i can not believe he is 4 already, i miss being able to hold him like a baby, and i miss when he couldnt talk haha. but in all honesty he is amazing. he is very smart, funny, and adorable, but at the same time he is my own little devil. some of his new things that he says are "grandma when are you going to take me back to the circus (circus is church, haha)" , "lock and load (when he is playing nerf guns with his daddy)" , "its not my problem (when i am asking him to clean his room)" , "bring it on sista (when playing with my sisters)" , and my absolute favorite "i love you more".

for those of you that really know me, know that i am constanly battling with the idea of having another baby. i want one so bad but at the same time, i love love love the time that i am having with travis. there are so many things that i want to do with him while he is an "only" child. but at the same time it breaks my heart when he wants to play and there isnt anyone to play with him.

so back to what has been going on... he had his 4th birthday at chuck e cheese ( i hate that place ), and it was monster truck themed, which he loved. good ole me was even able to find ninja turtle monster trucks... very hard to find sometimes. Then that night travis, CSP and CSP's parents went to Monster Jam, in which travis fell asleep... How in the world does a child fall asleep at monster trucks, but he couldnt wait to tell me about the tires falling off some of the trucks.

then michelle came to visit us in Feb, and travis was estatic. we took her up to flagstaff and went sledding which was a BLAST. it was travis's first time in the snow and my second time. it was cold and wet but very fun.

then travis and i went home to san diego for a few days and got to go to sea world. I can never ever get tired of that place and i dont think travis can either. it was nice and sunny but still chilly, but apparently travis was promised that he could go on the water raft ride, and we got soaked!!!! but the look on his face warmed me up.

and recently adrienne and michelle drove out here to az to visit us... boy o boy was travis in 7th heaven. i cant put into words how his eyes light up everytime he sees them or how sad he is when they leave, and its times like that, that make it extremely harder to live so far away from my family.
