A day at Grandma's!

Hello again my dear friends,
 Although I had been determined to write every day, I see how unrealistic this is. However, I will give a wonderful overview of my last few days.

Me and the boys went to grandma Taylors and had so much fun!

Grandma reading to Skyler. He is in his halloween outfit. Isn't it adorable??!

Skyler is ALL boy. He really enjoys driving the Gator with his "Gama"

What a wonderful grandma! And Skyler had so much fun! He got to play in the pool, eat yummy food, and get wonderfully worn out for mommy :)

The deployment

Now when I typed "The deployment" I imagined the sound of the famous death march.(are you getting the ominous feeling?)
This particular blog is for the women and men out there suffering from "spousal deployment separation."
One of the many ;) reasons why my husband Jason married me was because of my history in the military.
We both thought that it would be quite the advantage when dealing with army requirements. HOWEVER, we were blissfully unaware how different it is to go from proud airborne soldier, to skulking army wife. Now, this is not to say that all army wives are that way. Just me. And, perhaps a few others who are not too proud to admit that at night they dream of the day their husband returns home, and tend to get a little hormonal whenever the topic arises.
I think the top three things I miss most are
1. Cuddling (kisses, snuggles... you know what I am talking about)
2. His help around the house
3. The upbeat attitude Jason always seems to have

Honestly, I miss everything about him *cue sad slow music* Life just isn't the same without him around. But, I know that we will truly be blessed in the long run with a stronger relationship and it will make it easier (slightly) next time he deploys.

What is a YEAR when we have an ETERNITY?

The dizzy days of a Pinnegar wife...

Hello, and Greetings from Skyler, Darbee and Anita!

Darbee, Mommy, and Skyler

A quick update of life here in CA...

Skyler is growing up so quickly. Today, He told me he could put on his shirt by himself. How adorable! Needless to say, he put it on, Sort of. I am not sure how he did it, but he gt both arms out one arm hole and was screaming bloody murder! How dare I let him get stuck?!

Clingy to me is strange. Skyler, as we all know, is anything but clingy. Free spirited and independent. Yep, that sounds like Skyler. 

Darbee... well, he is a stage 3 clinger. Not stage 5, thankfully. I think its kind of endearing the way he always wants to be held. He is getting so big now. Most commonly referred to as "the tank baby" by the Pinnegar clan, Darbee is immovable. He is already fitting into most of Skyler's clothes (thankfully, might I add)

As for myself, I am busy. Between being Mommy and a college student, I have my hands full. Although Art, English and Institute are all very fulfilling, I can't help but be sad sometimes at the amount of time it takes to be a student. Homework itself takes hours. Thankfully we have Jeremy, whom Jason and I have lovingly started referring to as the "Nanny." Nanny that doesn't clean, unfortunately... No, in all actuality life here in California isn't as bad as I had initially thought it would be.

 Albeit that Utah is far more beautiful than Carmichael could ever even imagine being. Its nice. The art world here is huge, which I really appreciate, and the vast amount of different types of people is nothing to scoff at. All in all, we Pinnegars, are adjusting just fine to this new state, thanks to the Technology that still keeps us a fingertips reach away from home.
