'Mon Daddy!!!!

Today we said byebye to Daddy again. Luckily it is only for a week this time. He has an amazing opportunity in Ft Bragg that his is going for. Jackson was SO excited to help daddy with his suitcase (its on wheels and is a big car) and to see planes. Despite the prego hormones building up with tears we had a lot of fun running around watching the luggage, cars, and planes. 

THEN, we had to say bye. Jackson gave Aaron some good kisses and hugs before he knew something was off. We backed out of the way to let other passengers board. Aaron started walking closer to the gate, when it clicked that Daddy wasn't coming with us. He immediately started saying, " Mon Daddy 'Mon" waiving his hands. Then his tears started as cried for Daddy to come with us. I completely lost it! I saw all of the passengers look back and forth between us and Aaron and then noticed Aaron's acu backpack and then gave me the sympathy looks. It killed me. I waived to Aaron said I love you and walked away crying with a sobbing J in my arms. 

I knew that it would be harder to say goodbye to Aaron as Jackson got older, I just didn't realize that it would be so soon=(

Our tickets to see the planes

"Helping" Daddy Pack

Schizo Weather

 A crazy ice storm came through last night and rocked Clarksville's world! So many accidents from people not knowing how to drive on it, or being overly confident because they have a 4wd! It makes me sad and yet very grateful being raised in Idaho. I know how to handle myself out there amongst the crazies. I decided to be safe instead of sorry though and stayed home with Monster watching movies all day!

My crazy boys!

Its NYE

Happy New Years Eve! I think this is the first year that I am not making a resolution for myself. I had a very busy yet productive year this last year and am happy where I am at. Expecting a bundle of joy this next summer, a possible move or deployment this spring, and who knows what else God or the army has planned for us=) No matter what happens I know we got this!!!

We spent the night at The Furman's playing games! This girl dominated some Catch Phrase...as always *woot woot* =) I knew that it would be tough for J and myself to make it to midnight so we partied hard with good food and good friends early and then made our way home around 9. J passed out shortly after, while I managed to make it until midnight and about 10 minutes after, lol. 

I hope your night was amazing and you were able to spend it with the ones you love! If you have a resolution, go kick some ass and know that 2013 is your year. If you don't, go live it like there's no tomorrow!!!!

Happy New Year

Well, obviously I am super behind in keeping you all up to date on the lives of the Malone Family lately. We have had a lot on our plate that have kept us quiet and away from posting online. Besides the move we have hidden another secret from our friends. 

We are pregnant=)

I found out pretty early out in October, but wanted to wait until we were out of the first trimester to announce. If you ran into me out and about there was definitely no way of hiding this baby bump, so its been public without going public=) We are beyond excited and Jackson is constantly rubbing the belly and kissing the baby. It's pretty adorable! Our due date is July 15th, 2013 and we are hoping to find out what Baby M is around Valentine's Day.

Despite the wonderful news we wanted to share shortly after Christmas, my heart was broken to find out that a wonderful friend and beautiful soul was taken from us on Christmas night while she slept. My friend Erica Mount kissed her family goodnight after spending a great Christmas with her family, to not wake up the next morning. Learning this news broke my heart. I can't imagine what her family is going through and when trying to even put myself or family in that position I am immediately brought to tears. Erica you were loved immensely and will never be forgotten. Going to miss your smartass comments yet caring responses to everyday goings on in my life<3

We ended the year on a sad, and yet positive note. We have so many plans in the making for 2013 I know that no matter what path we end up on we will have many stories to tell of our adventures<3 Goodbye 2012, its been real!!!

It's Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope yours was as wonderful as ours. No, we didn't go home to spend it with our family but we were able to see everyone via Skype throughout the day numerous times! (LOVE technology!!!!). Santa came and blew Jackson's mind with the train table and racing cars. Then the festivities of opening presents came. It was definitely an all day task with a toddler. We had to take breaks and open and play with everything. It made the day so fun=) 

We were able to pull off a great surprise for Aaron's family with the help of Aundrea. We sent and envelope with the message "Santa says you can take a peek, but do not open until July 15th" with a picture of my belly with a ribbon wrapped around it. They opened it in front of everyone while we watched on Skype. It was fun watching the gears turn thinking of what it meant. Lol! 

We finally finished presents and ended the day with our Traditional yet Non Traditional Christmas dinner of Chinese Take-out...that was delicious! Then we went Robinson style and went to see our Christmas movie with my family. We saw Monster's Inc in 3D at the same time. LOVE this tradition! It was an amazing day and we were very blessed, even being so far away from loved ones. It felt like they were right there with us all day<3
