Tinz liked to eat the floatie:)
Tinz loved the water... we even dunked her and she didnt even cry:)

We were able to take advantage of our awesome landlord. He has a really fun back yard and makes sure we know that we can use it whenever and as much as possible! He even stocks his refrigerator with sodas and snacks for us:) He is awesome! Thanks Fred!

Milwaukee Fun

Here Tinz is in here nest... I love our new couch !!!
Here is Tinz... were were just having a fun photo shoot cause it was her first 3-6 month outfit she has worn... and I just thought she looked SO CUTE!!!! I like this funny face she was making... it took me a while to get a smile:)
Here she is... Happy as always!
Bath time is a family favorite time... Tinzley LOVES the water and so does Cal!!! Bath times if full of splashes, giggles and fun!
We like to go on walks here when it isnt too hot and humid. The other evening we went and walked around downtown Wauwatosa it was a lot of fun, it is a very cute little town...
Tinz loves looking around... she is getting to be so coordinated and alert... she needs to slow it down, she is growing way too fast!
Her favorite thing to do, except play with mom and dad:) She LOVES her exersaucer:)
Wisconsin State fair fun:) Here is Cal and Grandma Cardon having fun!
Here is Cal playing on his tramp... He LOVES it!!!
Just a cute pic of Tinz... O the fun we have together! Only thing that could make it better might be... family or friends visiting?:)

Our house becoming a Home

Our New couch... This was the first thing we bought when we got to Milwaukee... Its kind of annoying not having anywhere to sit:/
Here is our picture wall... Brocks dad put all the pics up for us, i think it looks great!... Brock thinks its A LOT of pictures:)
Here is our front room from the other side... you can see our front door on the right and on the left is our hallway that leads into the rooms and the bathroom...
Here is part of our kitchen... its a small kitchen but it serves us well enough. Believe it or not, i still have lots to move around in there still.
Here is our room... It has changed quite a bit since this pic... No pack'n play and lots cleaner... BUT the thing i wish to change more than anything... the nasty florescent green color on the wall. :)
Here is our little breakfast bar that is in our kitchen... We LOVE this... its great!
The kidos room... it is mighty squished in there... I think it would be very difficult to get a third one in there... So hopefully we will get a bigger home in about 2 years:)

I will add newer pics soon... you still need to see our basement and stuff... I am ashamed to say that we still have some unpacking to do.. but we did get a table and chairs which is heaven:) and we only have a couple more things that will finish our house off...

Well here is to settling in Wisconsin for the next four years:) Its been fun so far!!!

White Coat Ceremony

Brock is an official Med student:) Yea, we are so proud of him!!! (p.s. doesn't Cal look SOOO big!)
Here are some of the students in his M1 class:)
He's got his White Coat!!!
I am so sad that this picture was blurry:( O well you can kind of get the idea... the Dr. that presented him with his coat was SOOO funny he would bend WAY down and I think that was why it was so hard for most of the students to get the coat on... hehe...
Almost his turn...
Getting lined up...

The white coat ceremony was actually really nice... it wasn't too long and there was some funny things said...
Here is Callin and his friend Finley. They were so good during the whole thing!!! Good Job guys!

Three Months

This Little Girl is 3 Months Old!!!! Isn't she just getting so big:) She is still an amazing little baby girl and she has the sweetest little personality. We are so blessed to have her in our lives!!
Cal indicating how many months Tinz is... Its so funny he can't keep away from her... I think they will be great friends:)

COMING SOON: The Move, Brocks school, White Coat Ceremony, etc. :)

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:)

Our Little Baby Girl

Cal visiting us in the hospital... He was so excited to finally meet his sister!
First Mommy and Me photo:)
First family photo:) I have the best little family ever!!!
Introducing Tinzley Ruth:) She came to our family on Monday the 16th of May at 3:15pm. She was 6 pounds and 12 ounces and 20 inches long. Tinzley is an amazing little baby girl and we are so excited to finally have her as part of our family. Cal has adjusted to the change very well! He is so sweet, when she fusses he will sing her songs and go and find the binky for her. He will also throw away her diapers for us without us even asking him too and he just gets so excited when she opens her eyes... he has just taken on the role of big brother like a champ!

Again thank you all for all your prayers and support, her delivery was still kind of full of drama (just like her brothers) but turned out perfect in every way, especially because we got a perfectly healthy little girl out of it all:)

Hope everyone has a great week!!!
