Newest Happenings

So a lot has happened since I last blogged. The first and most exciting thing that has happened is Harper started walking about the middle to end of May. She started with just a step here and there to now almost running. She still falls down every now and again but overall she is doing awesome and we are so excited even though this means more work for us.

The next thing that we are so happy about is Tyson finally got to sew on his Tech stripes. Yep we waited for nearly a year after finding out he made it to finally reap the benefits. Of course this means more responsibility for him at work but this rank also earns more respect than any previous and it also means a better pay check of course! We are so proud and grateful for how hard he works!

The last but not least thing that we are so excited about is that Harper had her big 1st birthday and is now officially a toddler! On June 11th, 2010 she was born at 8:15 in the morning and was 7lbs 2oz. We heard that first most precious cry after about 7 hours of active labor and only 2 pushes. We can't believe its been a whole year already! Tyson's parents, my little sister, and the Rekow's were able to be here to celebrate the big day. We had a really fun party but were sad to see her grandparents leave the next day! Happy 1st Birthday Harper!

Aurora is starting to be a lot more independent which is a good/bad thing. She wants to pick out her own clothes (which usually consists of her "princess" outfit), dress herself, and even brush her own teeth, among other things. Both of my girls are very smart for their ages, I'm so glad they got their brains from their dad.
