BIG FAT Update

For all of you who don't know... Brock is currently in Alabama at Commissioned Officer Training Camp... or COT for short. He has been there for over three weeks and still has a while to go. He is doing such a good job learning all the things about the Air Force and becoming a great leader. Like any officer at this camp, he hates it... he hates being away from his family, all the screaming, marching in the 104 degree weather and all that fun stuff. BUT he is such a trooper and is almost DONE! yea! Actually next time we see him we will have already moved to Milwaukee and we will be meeting him there! (Isn't he so official looking in his uniform, and yes they had to wear it to church... all of their civilian clothes were locked up:)
YEA!!!! Tinzley is 2 Months old:) She is such a blessing in our lives and when Brock sees her again she will be sooo big! Tinzley is growing so fast and I love to see her personality beginning to develop. Tinz is an AMAZING sleeper (which has been such a blessing with Brock MIA for the time being) and has such a fun and calm demeanor.
Cal is amazing! He is such a smart and cute boy! He loves his sister so much and is a very big help to his mom. I think they will be great friends when they grow bigger.
Before Brock went off to COT he was able to come to Bear Lake with us for the Hanks family reunion! We had so much fun and I was so happy to spend that time with him before he left, especially since this is probably the last year we will be going there. (p.s. bear lake is SOOO COLD!!!!)
We had so much fun with all the grand kids together at bear lake. Cal loved the pool, golfing, the beach, bubbles, and all the treats! It was great to be able to spend that week with Trevin, Allison and Addison and everyone else before we leave for Milwaukee:)
We were able to go to California to Grandma and Grandpa Vonasek's and show off Tinzley:) (this was the first time many of my family got to see her) We got to stay there for a week and a half (which wasn't nearly long enough!) We got to go swimming, horse back ridding, to the theaters, and much much more! it was so fun to play with all of the cousins and be with the family. (and I got a new set of teeth pretty much:) Thanks Dr. Cope for fixing my teeth:)

Here is Tinzley when she turned 1 month old. Isn't she just a doll! We love her to pieces!
O Grandma and Grandpa Cardon... what can we say about them... they have been so gracious and let us live with them in their home this summer. They made multiple trips to Provo to start moving our stuff up to their house. They helped me go thru all my stuff so I could sell it at a garage sale we had (We totally made bank!) They have just been helping me out so much (i cant even say i have been a parent of two kids because they do so much for me). They have been entertaining Callin while I take care of Tinz and get other things done. I don't think we could thank them enough for all they have done for our family, we will be eternally indebted to them... maybe we will have to come visit for Christmas;) O and did i mention that they are driving a uhaul and our car out to Milwaukee for us and then the kids and i will fly out there and meet them... seriously how awesome are they!!!
Cal is just becoming such a bright big boy! He is such a source of happiness in my life and I can imagine me life without him!
I love Tinzley's smiles... even in the middle of the night when she wakes up she smiles up at me... I LOVE IT!
Air Force Family:)
Brock being commissioned into the Air Force as a 2nd Lieutenant.
O how I will miss this man! I wish i could just bring him to Milwaukee to deliver by baby/s that i will have there... He is a great doctor and for all you moms out there in Provo, DR. JUDD is the BEST!!!
All the grand kids just hanging out at Grandma Cardons house.
On Memorial Day we went and visited some of those family members that we love and miss. Here is Tinzley with her Aunt Stacia Ruth Cardon. We took her middle name for Tinzley.
Here is Cal and Tinz with Grandma Cardon whom also has the middle name Ruth:)

Well I hope that wasnt too boring and I know it was all over the place but it will help me later in life when i need to sort things out:) Love you all and thanks for all your love and support:)
