Its for the new Hill Science Diet Ideal Brand. I'm not normally someone to feed my pet Hills brand but after some research it seems as if it may be a decent dog food. So I will be blogging as I go along about how Miss Charlee does on it and how she enjoys it. And trust me she is very vocal about if she likes her food or not. :)<br /><img src="http://img.bzzagent.com/image/hillsIdealBalance.jpg?Type=activity&Activity=5074572745&Campaign=8634379888&Uid=1267676&token=360279d77ba7cf35701d6c04927cae9e" alt="" /><div><br /></div><div>All so head over to petmd.com/mybowl </div>Kristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-54425676195224927952009-11-13T15:57:00.003+01:002009-11-13T16:25:31.655+01:00I havent blogged for a bitA lot of new interesting things have happened. Okay maybe not a lot and not interesting but things have happened since my last blog. :) <div>Edward turned 3 on Oct 24. I cant believe it. He's getting to be such a big boy these days. He weighs in at over 30lbs FINALLY and stands just about 3ft tall. Anthony was the one who took him to the Dr's which is why I don't know 100%. lol He is a very intelligent little man. He can count to 10 and knows his abc's. He may not like to do it when he thinks you are listening but he does. He has recently learned to zip his own coat. Its so cute watching him do it. His vocabulary is impressive. We sit and can have conversations with one another. This time last year he knew maybe 50 words and was not understandable 90% of the time. He's becoming quite the boy. He LOVES Thomas and Friends, Batman, Spiderman, okay all super hero's, Cars, climbing trees. If you think boys love it then he probably does. His imagination grows daily too. </div><div>Lilliana is a growing weed too. The dr was concerned with her weight at her last appt and I knew it was a ridiculous concern. She was simply between a growth spurt. :) Little girl is up to 22lbs and is 30 inches tall. Yes still "small" compared to her peers maybe but perfect in my eyes. :) She is still rear facing in her car seat and wouldn't have it any other way. We are hoping she makes it to 3 rf'ing at least. Her vocab is amazing also. I never believed it when they said girls do things faster. Well she has probably a vocab of 75 words that she attempts to use and is putting 2 words together from time to time. Thats where Edward was last Christmas! I'm shocked.</div><div>Anthony is "deployed" right now to Romania for a few more days. He basically wont be home until Christmas Leave because of training. :( The kids both miss Daddy like Crazy and he misses them. Lil brought me my cell phone this morning and said "tak Dadda" :( Broke my heart. I miss that man too but it takes a bigger tole on the kids. Dont get me wrong I miss him like crazy but I can cope better than the kids. </div><div>Me well I'm just happy we have been able to save up as much money as we have for leave. Lets just say we will be living pretty for the those two weeks and hopefully coming home with some money to spare. :) I have learned how to budget like a mad woman and live off as little money as possible. Its amazing how little we actually do need to survive.</div><div>Oh and some pictures of the kiddo's I took today. Arent they precious!?!?</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Sv151eseqbI/AAAAAAAAAGs/uuBypPDvQEA/s1600-h/038edit.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Sv151eseqbI/AAAAAAAAAGs/uuBypPDvQEA/s400/038edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403609087594113458" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Sv150hycYxI/AAAAAAAAAGk/jy5vVmnEPoE/s1600-h/044edit.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Sv150hycYxI/AAAAAAAAAGk/jy5vVmnEPoE/s400/044edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403609071244567314" /></a>Kristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-11743574011214822002009-09-28T20:07:00.002+02:002009-09-28T20:25:04.311+02:00Back to the States!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Tony and I have decided that we are going home for Christmas! YAY! This came on because of the deployment but I'm not going to turn it down. When we got orders for Germany we said we weren't going home for 3 years. I used to think I was okay with that but I'm missing home. Iowa and Cali. I miss our families. I miss the convenience of going to wal-mart at 2 am if I needed something for one of us and not having to wait until the next day. I miss some fast food places(wendy's, hardees/carls jr, Arbys, Dunkin Donuts). I miss Dollar Stores, ordering in food, not getting looked at like a freak when I try to remember how to say something correctly. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I go tomorrow to SATO (travel agency on post) to buy our tickets! Tony reserved our rental cars today. Only thing left to do is SAVE SAVE SAVE until Dec! Its a good thing the kids presents have already been purchased or we wouldnt be able to save much. We are attempting to pay for everything in cash. If we can stick to our budget we should "hopefully" have plenty saved. I have us on a TIGHT budget. We literally will have no money for extras at all but it will be worth it in the end. I only have grocery (basically if it comes from the commissary) money, gas, bills and 20 for "blow" money the rest is going into savings. Its going to be tough but I know we can do it. We will take about 300 out of that for Eddies birthday and pictures that we had done. Otherwise nothing is being spent. Pray for us that we are able to do this. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I am going to search for coupons for things we want to do while at home to help save us money. We are going to search for free things to do too. That way we do not blow through everything we save. I hope that we can do this. I may go nuts not leaving post for almost 3 months but I know I can do it and that it will be worth it. </span></span></div>Kristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-58528318599986220442009-09-18T16:15:00.002+02:002009-09-18T16:26:17.217+02:00Preparing Once AgainToday we got the official word that Tony will be going down range with the next company leaving. ON Tuesday he makes the switch from the Scout Platoon over. Its scary to think that he's leaving soon. I dont want him to be put in Dangers way again. I secretly thank God that he had his allergy attack back in June and that he's not there right now. I just dont think I'm gonna get that lucky two times in a row. I know this is his job and I know I knew that when I married him. It still doesnt make the preparing any easier or the worry any less. <div>I have a few months to prepare but most of that time he will be gone training. In the next couple months he will be going to Romania for a one month deployment, will have a field op for one month and various other trainings. So basically from here on out he is not going to be around. </div><div>I am worried on how this will affect the kids. They are complete Daddy's kids. They admire him so much. Lilli and Eddie both run to the door as soon as they hear the key in the keyhole jiggling around, screaming "Daddy home". They love rough housing with him and I stink at it so I know that they both will miss it.<br /><div>I ask that each one of you pray for Tony and a safe deployment and to pray for all of the soldiers who are fighting every day for our freedom. These guys put themselves out there so we stay safe everyday. They choose to do this as we choose to do our jobs that don't put us in the same danger as them. Please keep them in your prayers. </div></div>Kristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-20431326254384690222009-08-10T21:12:00.002+02:002009-08-10T21:16:10.620+02:00Potty Trained! YAY!Edward is 100% potty trained! YAY! I'm so proud of my little man. He still has a few accidents here and there but he's trained. He's been pee and night time trained for MONTHS now but just decided to poo on the potty lately. He's growing up and I cant believe it. When did I give him permission to be a BIG boy? In just 2.5 months he'll be 3! He's not a baby at all anymore. I miss baby Eddie. lolKristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-44744235181670423032009-07-18T22:40:00.003+02:002009-07-19T01:34:04.607+02:00Its been a while...(a crapload of photos!)Since I last blogged. Anthony has been on leave since just before the 4th so we've been busy. We went to Berlin for 5 days and had a blast, and have done other little things here and there. We've grown closer as a family and as couple. Its amazing how little time we take on a day to day basis to do stuff as a family until we take a vacation. Anthony goes back from Leave on Monday which is going to Suck. I've gotten used to his presence around the house.<br />While in Berlin we went to the Berlin Zoo, Lego Land Discovery Center, on a Bus Tour of Berlin and the Technical Museam. Nothing horribly fancy but something the kids enjoyed everyday. The Zoo was AMAZING. Its one of the oldest zoo's maybe it is the oldest zoo. I cant remember right off hand. lol IT had a 3 story Aquarium attached to it. Both were amazing. I want to go back and do the zoo again next year. Yup I liked it that much. LegoLand was a bit overpriced for what they had but the kids had fun which is all that matters. They did have some pretty darn good pretzels though. haha (if you dont know German Pretzels are way better then anything you can get in the states. lol) The bus tour took us all around Berlin. We were able to see pieces of the Wall and see where the wall once stood. There are still bits of the wall left standing but we were unable to get out and look at it since it was pouring down rain at that stop. We just couldnt take the kids out in the dog sized rain drops. lol We also say the American Embasy which is right across from the Holocaust Memorial. I got chills when we visited the Memorial. It also hit a few other sights in Berlin. It was a nice relaxing way to cover a lot of ground in a short period of time. And Eddie Loved the technical museum. They had tons of trains, planes and boats. Every little boys favorite things! LoL They also had a section on Photography, which if you know me you know why that was exciting for me. I would lie if I said I didnt LOVE that section of the place. haha<br />While in Berlin we were able to experience food from Australia (Kangaroo is actually really tasty! lol), Argitina (sp), American, and Mexican. Strangely enough we didnt eat anything German really. Maybe something for lunch one day. We found Starbucks and I had my first Strawberry and Cream Frap in over a year! It was HEAVEN! I also found out there are 243 Dunkin Donuts in Berlin. And I didnt get any because I was never hungry when we walked by the few by our hotel. Some other time. lol The guys (Anthony and our friend Josh) went out drinking nearly every night and had a wonderful time.<br />Before we left on leave, the 4th I believe, we went to a skeet range at a base near us. I shot a weapon for the very first time EVER! I didnt hit any skeets but I shot a weapon. lol Also on the 4th we went up to the freedon fest on base. Nothing fantastic but the kids had tons of fun. Isnt that all that matters in life?<br />Here are some photos from Berlin! Theres like 30ish out of like 300+ I took. I cant narrow it down more.<br />A Berlin Bum.... <a title="Berlin 2009 006 by kristinlimon2, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40560632@N07/3732804701/"><img height="500" alt="Berlin 2009 006" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3438/3732804701_0727498883.jpg" width="334" /></a><br />Eddie In Legoland <a title="Berlin 2009 020 by kristinlimon2, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40560632@N07/3732806321/"><img height="500" alt="Berlin 2009 020" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3424/3732806321_7bb8e9f8f8.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />Lil in Legoland<a title="Berlin 2009 061 by kristinlimon2, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40560632@N07/3733606776/"><img height="500" alt="Berlin 2009 061" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2586/3733606776_b2b24129aa.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><a title="Berlin 2009 064 by kristinlimon2, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40560632@N07/3732808019/"><img height="400" alt="Berlin 2009 064" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2561/3732808019_be89b6e25e.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />Gonna go with smaller sizes for the rest.

He got here Tuesday night from Praque and is staying with us until the 10th when he flies out of Berlin where we are going on monday for vacation. He was Anthony's Medic back at Ft Drum and is a GREAT young man. We are truely blessed to have him as a friend and to have him here visiting us. The kids absolutely LOVE the kid. He is Eddie's newest "bes fiend" (best friend) He loves to play cars, rawr and all those boys things with him. Its like the two havent missed a day in the last 1.5 years that we've been seperated from him. We took him to our favorite Mexican place tonight and to do a small tour of Regensberg. (ok they guys were drunk and I didnt take a stroller so it was short walk lol)<br /></div><div align="center">Here are a few pics of tonight.

She was hardly played with at her last home and is loving being able to run about as she wishes (for the most part anyways.) She loves to hide things in typical Ferret fashion. Its adorable to watch her as she thinks we arent watching. She is a toe licker and perfers Daddy's toes the most. Isnt she pretty?</div></div></div><br /><p>><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Sj0REFlE_aI/AAAAAAAAAE8/MjlqYwuEuCw/s1600-h/037.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349450694300859810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Sj0REFlE_aI/AAAAAAAAAE8/MjlqYwuEuCw/s400/037.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Sj0RD6wP9wI/AAAAAAAAAE0/O5lTI4OgNfA/s1600-h/037.JPG"></a><br /><br /></p><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Sj0iL6DUUJI/AAAAAAAAAFE/TMAKQc1X7h8/s1600-h/042.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349469520343093394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Sj0iL6DUUJI/AAAAAAAAAFE/TMAKQc1X7h8/s400/042.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p><br /></pKristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-52098474595755793092009-06-15T00:36:00.002+02:002009-06-15T00:47:04.242+02:00OHHH So proud of myself (photography blog!)<div align="center">I had two of my best friends over for dinner tonight which meant 3 kids who arent used to my camera being shoved in their faces! YAY! They love me taking their picture and it gives me a chance to practice on someone other the Eddie and Lilli. I freaking LOVE these three boys. They are awesomely precious and completely different from my 2 munchkins. Tyler and Rhyley have the bluest eyes imaginable and the prettiest blonde hair. Collin is just the perfect mix and so angelic looking. lol He's the hardest kid to get mad at.<br /><a title="Re-edit to make undead looking lol by Kristin Limon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kristinlimon/3626773520/"><img height="500" alt="Re-edit to make undead looking lol" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2345/3626773520_ab58c2645f.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div><div align="center">How handsome is he?

I just let Eddie run around on the playground equipment and I took some pictures of Lilli since I still <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">haven't</span> done her one year photos. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">OOPS</span>! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">lol</span> I got <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">at least</span> one I will be printing off in the near future that I absolutely love.

She just snuggled right up on my tummy while I was trying to take a picture of Edward. (who wouldnt let me take any of him grrr) so I quickly turned the camera around on the two of us.

Its be a frustrating few days. <div>The kids have done nothing but fight or throw hissy fits where one will egg on the other. Seriously who knew a 1 y/o could throw a 45 minute fit over a fricking cookie! It really happened today and it was not fun at all. We are talking about throwing herself on the ground, crying, screaming, backing into a corner to hit her head on the wall hissy fit! All because her brother didnt give her his last cookie that she wanted. Mind you she had her own snack moments before that she ate all of. If this is how it is at 1 I dont want to see how the terrible 2's and 3's are going to be. Please just shoot me now if it gets worse with her. lol Oh and did I mention the entire time she was throwing this fit Eddie sat in front of her very very slowly eating this cookie that was no bigger then a silver dollar? Yup, he can be an ass already. </div><div>Anthony has been out in the field now for a week. When he left he was complaining of cold and allergy like symptoms. He was living with a Medic and they noticed he was weezing so they gave him an inhaler ontop of the day quil he was already taking. Today he ended up going to the aid station and they gave him a cold medicine and eye drops because he was having issues with them. Then they just sent him back out to the field to suffer. Poor guy. Ironically though I would normally be bitching about him being sick because like most men the world ends when he is sick. But not being able to baby him like normal is driving me nuts. Isnt it my job as his wife to make him feel better? lol I seriously can not wait for the next two weeks to be done and then he'll be home. </div><div>We've almost completley figured out vacation! YAY! After a few small bumps in the road I have finally booked a bed and breakfast. There is only two rooms in the establishment for rent and we got the one with the balcony! YAY! It has a shared bathroom but the reviews say that its not that bad. Hopefully I wont be disappointed. We are leaving here on the July 5th pretty early and heading to Rust, Germany to either do a castle tour and a few other small things around town or going to Europa Park. I'm sure we will do the small things sunday so we are plenty rested for the park. We are doing 2 days at Europa Park and the other 3 days will be spent in the Black Forest. I found this cute little "train/tram" ride up a Mountain which Eddie will love, there is a grandfather or Cucko clock factory/museum I want to do and a few other things. This will be our first official family vacation! I'm not counting weekend get aways otherwise we've done plenty of those. lol I made sure the hotel has free internet so I can blog from there. haha I'm addicted what can I say. </div><div>Oh tomorrow, well I guess today for me technically, I am going to get more fish stuff. lol They are addicting too. I just want a few more Gold Barbs as they are my favorites and I saw some Purple barbs, I think thats what they were called, that I want to get 5-6 of to add to the tank. tomorrow though I'm only probably going to get a backround for the tank and maybe a few more fake plants. The fish will come at a later date I have a feeling. I do believe our tank needs to cycle a bit more before adding more fish. I'm going to check our ammonia levels tomorrow and see where they are at. If its where it should be then I will go from there when deciding. I may go another week or two before Adding more. </div><div>I guess thats all for now. Sorry no pics today since I'm on Anthonys computer and I'm not supposed to upload to this. It'll happen on leave though and he knows it. haha</div>Kristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-54392820797462850232009-06-08T21:57:00.006+02:002009-06-08T23:14:29.695+02:00Trip to the Wildepark! (tons of pics)<div align="center"><br />Today, My good friend Wendy and I packed up the three kids and went on an adventure. Her neighbors had told her of the "wildepark"(petting zoo) in Burlengenfeld. So off we went. While we didnt see too many animals probably because the kids were way too busy being 1 and 2 year olds its was a ton of fun. Eddie and Collin are best friends (most days) so they will always find something to do no matter where we go. They were just inlove with the animals that we did see and the things within the park that they found to do. They were just amazed by everything that could amaze a fly. lol We will be heading back soon on a sunny nonsprinkling day not only to see if more animals will come out but for us Mommy's to get a bit of a walk and they kids to play on the playground they didnt get to do. So please enjoy the pictures of the children having fun!</div><div align="center">Here are the only two pictures of Animals I got that turned out decent. lol </div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si19hQl61OI/AAAAAAAAAEM/U1wv6vAQgsY/s1600-h/015.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345066343101813986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si19hQl61OI/AAAAAAAAAEM/U1wv6vAQgsY/s400/015.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si19g9LeyYI/AAAAAAAAAD8/YZ-jZdDgahY/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345066337890650498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si19g9LeyYI/AAAAAAAAAD8/YZ-jZdDgahY/s400/012.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si14li7LuoI/AAAAAAAAAD0/gcIVQLKHbNw/s1600-h/024.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345060919184177794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si14li7LuoI/AAAAAAAAAD0/gcIVQLKHbNw/s400/024.JPG" border="0" /></a> The boys found these cool little stands and we decided to make use of them for a few photo ops. It was fun. They had fun and started wearing themselves out. Which as any parent knows is an AWESOME benefit to any day out.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si14lJUqGRI/AAAAAAAAADs/VlsEgBmv30o/s1600-h/031.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345060912311703826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si14lJUqGRI/AAAAAAAAADs/VlsEgBmv30o/s400/031.JPG" border="0" /></a> Even the pretty princess got a change to sit on them on and take a picture or too. She loved to be able to get out of the stroller for even a few minutes and just sit on something else. I know she is just dying to get up and run with the boys when Wendy and I go out next. Hopefully she will stop being lazy soon and realize walking is the first step to running (literally lol)<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si14kq-dUjI/AAAAAAAAADk/7QHMie1n-Dc/s1600-h/042.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345060904165528114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si14kq-dUjI/AAAAAAAAADk/7QHMie1n-Dc/s400/042.JPG" border="0" /></a> He had to take this darn umbrella with us. Its his newest favorite thing ever. Well its about a month or so old but he still loves to take it with us anywhere we go. Today it was a good thing since it did rain. But it turned into an awesome awesome prop to use. :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si14kQAhUfI/AAAAAAAAADc/TLZwEsdkH_M/s1600-h/047.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345060896926421490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si14kQAhUfI/AAAAAAAAADc/TLZwEsdkH_M/s400/047.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is a favorite of mine from today. :) He just looks so natural hiding under his umbrella staring out.

She started imatating the boys and by the trip home she was just going on about "duck, duck duck, duck, dada, duck" Well you get the point.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si10Hmpg8KI/AAAAAAAAADM/vmKrOw8zT9Y/s1600-h/050.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345056006741225634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si10Hmpg8KI/AAAAAAAAADM/vmKrOw8zT9Y/s400/050.JPG" border="0" /></a>This is probably my favorite picture all day. The boys were standing on this tree stump staring at ducks. They were just amazed by Ducks. Nothing amazing Ducks. lol Do you see Eddies hands on his hips pose? Yup thats his "Now see here, I'm gonna tell you this once and only once" stance. He was telling Collin some juicey stuff.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si10HbyrS8I/AAAAAAAAADE/Va8Q4VXO3NI/s1600-h/067.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345056003826863042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si10HbyrS8I/AAAAAAAAADE/Va8Q4VXO3NI/s400/067.JPG" border="0" /></a> Silly kids just didnt want to cooperate for a group photo.

She was happy we stood at the fence and watched them for a few minutes. She just smiled as big as could be when she spotted them. She really loved this doe that was walking around when I snapped the shot of the buck above. Below you can see her smile and that she is pointing at something. Well she was pointing at the deer.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si10G6PHtTI/AAAAAAAAAC0/np5pzue2qiQ/s1600-h/090.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345055994819360050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/Si10G6PHtTI/AAAAAAAAAC0/np5pzue2qiQ/s400/090.JPG" border="0" /></a> I cant get over how big girl she looks.

Lol J/K I have two of the best kids when it comes to playing with one another. They are one anothers best friends and love to just sit down and play. I wish that my brother and I (we are extremelly close in age too) got along as well as they do. On to the reason that brought on this blog. lol</div><br /><br /><div>I'm sweeping trying to get a little bit of housework done today so I dont get behind while Anthony is gone and the kids just kind of disappear. I get to the back half of the apartment and they are sitting in Lilli's room playing together. Nothing too out of the ordinary right? WRONG! My children normally play well together as long as both of them have their own toys right in front of them and the other one isnt touching their toys. Today they were both playing with Lil's toys and she wasn't freaking out on him. Infact she was sharing very nicely. Handing him toys and not immediatly riping them out of his hands like a jealous little sister. lol I was able to sit in there and just enough my kids playing and take some pictures without having to break up a fight! If only the next 17 years of them living under my roof would go like this. (trust me I realize how probable them being best friends for ever is lol) I seriously took almost 100 pictures of them just playing. This is a VERY VERY rare thing even with them being 1 and 2. I even caught them being as sweet as to hug each other but not on camera. I was just to in awe at that point to hit the shutter button. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>How could you not snap a million pictures of these two doing this?</div><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiuOL2OYhoI/AAAAAAAAACk/IZMiqVzAe0A/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344521716990772866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiuOL2OYhoI/AAAAAAAAACk/IZMiqVzAe0A/s400/005.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiuOLrWFqbI/AAAAAAAAACc/FBF1dqdTnBg/s1600-h/047.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344521714070301106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiuOLrWFqbI/AAAAAAAAACc/FBF1dqdTnBg/s400/047.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiuOLYqRscI/AAAAAAAAACU/ijGETU47GRc/s1600-h/052.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344521709054702018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiuOLYqRscI/AAAAAAAAACU/ijGETU47GRc/s400/052.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiuOLckCsQI/AAAAAAAAACM/142rIZR_aEQ/s1600-h/065.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344521710102294786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiuOLckCsQI/AAAAAAAAACM/142rIZR_aEQ/s400/065.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiuOK0ubkKI/AAAAAAAAACE/UxpULLH9wSM/s1600-h/075.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344521699408449698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiuOK0ubkKI/AAAAAAAAACE/UxpULLH9wSM/s400/075.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Kristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-63353009730064665252009-06-06T21:02:00.003+02:002009-06-06T21:24:14.628+02:00Art time!<div align="center"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#660000;">We went to a baby shower today and I got to thinking about what a waste all the tissue paper in the bags would be. I snagged some of it with the thought of an Art Project for Edward. With as frugal as I've been trying to be I've been at a loss for stuff to do with him. I grabbed a piece of scrap paper left over from the coloring books I made for Lilli's party, the tissue paper of various colors, and a glue stick. We ripped up some of the tissue paper, sat the scrap paper down and gave him the glue. Nothing too complicated but Eddie had tons of fun making his tissue paper collage or mossaic if you want to say that too. :D I ended up helping him with the glue because he would get made his tissue wouldnt stick when he would only do a dot of glue. Enjoy the pictures of our fun.</span> </div><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;">*please pardon me looking like poo.

Its been a interesting few days. The Company Anthony is currently assigned to has disassembled the group he was supposed to go with and put in him in a different platoon, realized he had a permant profile, and now cant decide where they are going to put him. Seriously how hard is it to assign someone somewhere and keep them there? I know it shouldnt be that frustrating to me but I just want to know if he's going out of the wire or not.<br />ON a better note. I have the worlds sweetest kids. :) Eddie was talking to his Uncle Dakota today and asked him if he wanted to play trains with him when we go to see him. I dont think he physically remembers what he looks like but remembers him. (Does that make sense? lol) And he told his Aunt Tori (toyi) that he loved her. He talked their ears off! lol I cant wait for him to go back and hang out with themKristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-89769897728723496692009-06-02T09:11:00.005+02:002009-06-02T21:31:07.980+02:00FISH!<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">To pass time while Anthony is deployed we have started an Aquarium. He is assisting in the setting up of everything. The kids both love sitting there watching the three fish we have swim around. Today we are going to get more of the Gold Barbs that we currently have in there. Its nice to have a "pet" that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">doesn't</span> require for me to either clean a litter box or take outside 5 times a day. (<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">don't</span> get me wrong I love dogs, not so much cats and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">don't</span> mind cleaning up after them <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">lol</span>) I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">don't</span> mind changing the water. Well I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">didn't</span> in the smaller tank but I'm sure that 8 gallons twice a week will seem like nothing in a few weeks. I'm lucky that my neighbor has already said she will take care of the tank for me when I'm in the states but I decided that I'm going to cut the trip down to no more then a month long so she <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">isn't</span> dealing with them on her own.<br />Anyways I'm very excited about this new adventure we have taken upon ourselves. I think it will be fun to see these fish "grow" and live for the next 1.75 years we have left here. And then I get to start ALL over when we go back to the states, which may be heartbreaking. If we get the duty station we want, and we probably will, I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">don't</span> know where there is a good fish store. The one at the mall SUCKED and all my fish from there died within days of being bought. Could have been my inexperience on the fish subject or could have been that most of them had <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">diseases</span>.<br />I will update later today with picture of all of the fish intergrated together. I really can not wait to see this tank take off.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">UPDATE:</span></strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">These are just a few I was able to snap of the little men and women. :) We now have 6 Gold Barbs, 5 keilfleckbarbe (I cant find what they are called in the states but there is what they are called in Germany) and 2 bottom feeders(hubby has the receipt or I'd tell you exactly what kind of fish they are. No pics of them as they were hiding when I had the camera out) </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiV77San0iI/AAAAAAAAABM/MyV4ubCJvDU/s1600-h/020.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342812791430959650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E-IYv4JfK8/SiV77San0iI/AAAAAAAAABM/MyV4ubCJvDU/s400/020.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"></a></p><p align="center">One of the Keilfleckbarb.

I cant technically say without violating OPSEC so I wont say. haha But its not far. Its going to SUCK! I seriously wont see him again until leave almost. YAY for leave though. We are planning on going to EuropaPark. (<a href="http://www.europapark.de/">www.europapark.de</a>) We are getting a room at one of the Hotels in the "resort". We still have to decide which hotel we want to stay at and make reservations. I honestly cant wait. I just need to see if I can find a couple friends or another family to go with us. That way we dont have to take turns riding rides. But we are doing the two day tickets just to be safe. The park looks big enough that you need to do that anyways. Still hoping for someone to go with us though. Hint hint hint. lol After this trip though and my trip home money is going to have to be saved saved saved! We're going to go to Italy when he comes home from down range. YAY! But of course we are going to need money for that. </div><div align="left">I need to go do some housework and see if the little man is up for some photos. He is to the point where he runs if he sees a camera. lol I desperiately need to post some new pictures of him.<br /><br /></div><div> </div></div><br /></div>Kristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-32108402198866561452009-05-28T04:47:00.000+02:002009-05-28T11:36:17.048+02:00Happy Birthday Lilliana!Today is my daughters first birthday! Oh where has the last year gone? I vividly remember giving birth to her yesterday. lol Its the weirdest feeling for me to go to bed with an infant and to wake up to a "toddler". This is my last time I get to have a 1st Birthday. Anyways here are my memories of the last year.<br /><br />At 8:45 pm Lilliana Marie was born at 8lbs and 20 inches of beauty. It was love at first site for both Daddy and I. She took to nursing like a champ and didnt unlatch all night long. She started out as a very clingy baby and still is. lol She hasnt stopped amazing me every day. She was 4 months old when she started crawling. Cruising by 5 1/2 months, said her first "word" at 6 months and hasnt slowed down. She is the most energetic baby girl you will ever meet. She is strong willed and independent when she wants to be. She hates cosleeping as much as I love it. Bath time is her favorite time of the day. If you have food chances are she's going to want it. She has a mind of her own and her own favorites. She loves the Disney Princess stuff and abolutely loves Tinkerbell and the other Disney Fairies. Dollies and anything with balls is sure to be something that will keep her occupied for hours.<br />Mommy and Daddy couldnt be more Proud of her. Shes deffinantly wonour hearts over just like her big brother. :) She's her Daddys Little Girl and her Momma's Princess.<br /><br />Here's she is in the first few minutes of life.<br /><br /><a href="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n4/TheLimons/?action=view&current=Lillyamdfather011.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n4/TheLimons/Lillyamdfather011.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n4/TheLimons/?action=view&current=Lillyamdfather012.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n4/TheLimons/Lillyamdfather012.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Here's my Birthday Girl!<br /><a href="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n4/TheLimons/?action=view&current=037cropped.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n4/TheLimons/037cropped.jpg" border="0" alt="1 year old,Birthday,Portrait" /></a>Kristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889362061775088552.post-60717000583859910422009-05-27T11:36:00.000+02:002009-05-27T11:49:44.818+02:00Gettiner ready for deploymentMy husbands second deployment is coming up on a quickly. Within the next few months he'll be gone more and more for training and then gone for a good 6-12 months. Last time was easy I was pregnant and had a baby 3 months after he left this time I have a 2.5-3 y/o and a 1 y/o. We were stationed stateside where I knew where everything was and could drive the 18 hours home if I would have wanted to, this time I'm in a whole different country where I know where some stuff is and cant go home on a whime.<br />Now dont get me wrong I'm not complaining about deployment at all. I knew what I was getting myself into when I married a soldier. I just hate having to be a single mom. I hate seeing my kids be without their Daddy and I know that Edward will constantly ask for him while he's gone. What do I say to a heartbroken 2 (well 2 or 3 y/o) when they ask when Daddy's coming home? You know thats going to be hard. But I respect and love my husbands courage. He is our Hero without a doubt. :)<br />I'm going to take this deployment as a chance to learn more about myself and my family. I'm going to take the time to go home to the states on a Military flight to save money. I'm going to work on being a better mother to Edward and Lilliana, a better wife to Anthony, a better daughter and sister to my family at home. and to be a better daughter/sister in law to Anthonys family. I'm going to work on my photography skills more and hopefully work on building up studio equipment for when we move home.Kristin Limonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630612419749315708noreply@blogger.com0
