How did this happen so quickly?? My little preemie baby is turning 4. I am still in shock. It seems like a month ago she was turning 3. It is crazy to think we are only a few days away from her turning the big 4 and before we know it she will be going to school. Aaaaahhhhh!!! When Blake and I think about it, it definitely makes us think about expanding our family by one more. We can't wait for him to finish boot and then school so we can try and have our second baby. Blake and I are definitely more prepared this time around and I think I'm ready for everything that a second pregnancy might bring. I was so sick with little miss Keira that i don't know how it could be much worse but we will just have to wait and see. I tell Blake that if I have to be sick as a dog again to get another kid that is as amazing as Keira I will do it in a heartbeat. Anyways back to Keira. I love this age that she is at. She loves to dance, sing, talk on the phone, change outfits 10 times a day, and she is hysterically funny. Some of things she says has us rolling on the floor laughing and gasping for air. At times she definitely has a little attitude on her and she can definitely make us want to pull our hair out, but what else are you going to get when you combine my stubbornness and Blake's temper. I have been sitting on the computer trying to put together a video of her 4 yrs, but it is taking me longer then usual. I get stuck on almost every photo and it is also so very hard for me choose between the gazillion photos we have. She is just too cute. I will blog more about little miss thing after her party on Sunday at her Aunt Mindy and Uncle Nate's house.
And now for Xmas. We had alot of fun hanging with all of our family members and we know Keira had a blast. She got so many amazing things from everyone that she has a really hard time choosing what to play with. So far she likes to play with 8 disney princess dolls from yaya and g, her prince philip doll from mommy and daddy, her Michael Jackson doll from Aunt Mindy and Uncle Nate( she has got to have those boy dolls anytime she plays with all the princesses) all while she is in her tent that LoLo, RyRy, Rory and Abby gave her. I was so bummed today that my phone camera wasn't working because I caught her with her Michael Jackson doll putting on a concert for her princess dolls. It was so funny but still so cute. Obviously he sang Beat It ten times, but hey it is her favorite song. With the amount of toys, books and clothes she got I would be surprised if she comes out of her room without me asking her to.
We are down to 2 weeks before Blake leaves. Keira definitely knows it is coming because she is getting really cuddly and affectionate with her daddy. And of course he is eating it all up. He is starting to get nervous about it because he wants it to all work out. He tends to look at all the things that could go wrong and it stresses him out a lot. I have asked him if it is the whole boot camp thing but he has simply said he just wants to get it over and done with. Today is his last day at work and of course 30 mins before he gets to come home something major happens and he has stay back to help. Oh well. After today we get him all to ourselves for the rest of the time before he leaves. We cant wait for New Years Eve. It is going to be so much fun to hang out with all the family again. Well that is it for now.

Very first Blog
I have always said I would do a blog and now i finally feel like I have some things to write about.
December is upon us and we are so excited to be in a place of our own to have our first family Christmas together. We have the tree out, presents wrapped, and some decorations up. We are getting our stockings from my mother and will get the rest of our decorations in our storage unit next week. I am trying to do my best to get in the Xmas spirit and take ques from my 3 year old, but there is a dark cloud looming over me at all times. Blake is leaving. When he leaves it is going to be the longest 9 months of my life. I'm going to miss his help, love and encouragement. After the first 3 months I know he will only be a phone call away, but I know sometimes that will not be enough. Keira doesn't quite know what is going on. She knows daddy is going to leave for his job and then after a little while we will get to go on a airplane and see him. She was more concerned that daddy wasn't going to see her Ya-Ya without her. lol. It is crazy to think that I'm going to be a single mother for the next 9 months. Something that I have always feared. It is all going to be for the best though. All I have to do is listen to my friends that have done or are doing it right now and take a deep breath. I'm going to stop talking about it right now because I know i will have the next 9 months to blog all about the experience and everything I'm feeling.
On to some better things. Keira is turning 4!!! Crazy!! I blinked and my baby is now a little girl. It is amazing to look at photos and watch videos and see how far she has come. She is such a little adult. Always wanting to help and do everything I am doing. Keira loves to help clean and sings the song, "When will my life begin" from Tangled and of course like any supportive mother I let her clean. lol. Her activities change from day to day, but she loves to color, dance to Michael Jackson, and is now getting into dolls. Oh boy does daddy love that. But it isn't just Barbie dolls, but action figures. She is still obsessed with Spiderman and now loves to watch the Avengers. Blake and I crack up watching her get into the super heroes and explain everything to us even though we are watching the same show. As she is learning about new characters she is slowly giving all of her uncles characters. It is hilarious to hear what she comes up with. Other then that she is a total girlie girl with her clothes and cant wait for me to have another baby. She is always asking her daddy about when there is going to be a baby in my belly. We just tell her it isn't my turn yet but soon. I don't know how long that is going to last because she is one smart cookie. I'm going to end this because I need to try and go to sleep. I don't even know why I am awake at this hour and Blake is sleeping. He is usually the night owl.
Uncles Characters:
Spiderman: Uncle Nate
Captain America: Uncle Justin
The Hulk: Uncle Tim
Iron Man: Uncle Ryan
Green Lantern: Uncle Adam
Wolverine: Daddy ( because she knows how much he loves him)
There will be more to come as she finds more characters she loves. haha
