catching up

I haven't blogged in a long time, I really don't have anything exciting to write about. We have just been busy with day to day things and working on our house. Tyler has been working on the yard a lot and sanding and painting all the kitchen cabinets. It was a lot harder of a task than we thought due to nicotine stains from the previous owner, no matter how much you sand, primer and and paint, it soaks through. So after many layers of paint they are almost finished.
Yesterday we had to drop our good friends Liz and Teagan off at the airport. It was a sad day, they are moving back to Florida and we are going to miss them a lot. Maleah and Teagan aka TT kissed each other goodbye and that made us all cry. Maleah told my mom last night on web cam, "TT bye bye airplane" and then she blew a kiss. Which made me cry again, then this morning she looked outside at her toys and said TT and Mema (this is what Maleah calls herself) up down up down (aka the teeter tauter airplane), I told Liz she will have to setup her skype account so the girls can talk. And we will have to go visit them along with all of our other friends that will soon be or already are in South Carolina.
Tyler will be going out to sea for a while this summer so I will spend most my time in Oregon with the family. It will be nice to be down there when it's nice out although I would rather Tyler just stay home and us stay here, but I don't have a choice because the Navy decides that for us.
I am starting to plan Maleah's second birthday party even though it's not til August, she is going to have a Minnie Mouse party. We will have a little one here in Washington and a big family one in Oregon. I am excited, she is even going to dress like Minnie. She loves her Minnie Mouse and birthday parties. We have went to a few of our friends birthday parties now she tell me, "Birthday me momma!" I can't believe she is going to be two already, crazy crazy crazy! Anyway the princess is calling and is up from her nap!
