Hello

Hello. It has been a while since I have put a post up and I just thought I would say Hi. Well jamison is 9 1/2 months old now, I can hardly believe it. He is doing so many fun things.. Some of his favorite things include climbing the stairs, he know how to get to them from anywhere in the house, he has started giving me kisses which I love, even if it does include a lot of slobber. He doesn't want to even try walking yet, he will walk around the furniture but as soon as he stands up and I try to hold his hands to get him to walk he plops down to the floor. Carson and I went to Leavenworth on Thursday and it was our first night away from Jamison, it was harder on me than Carson. But we had a great time and it was nice to sleep in. Here are some pics of Jamison and Leavenworth!

6 months old

So Jamison is 6 months old yesterday and I thought I should put up a post for the occassion. Jamison is trying to get some teeth in so he has been a little grumpy lately but I am sure his little teeth will be adorable once they are in. Jamison loves being outside, he also really loves his cousins and when we head over to Megan's house in the mornings he is always grinning and giggling when the Burch boys are around. He is such a happy little guy and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. More pictures to come!

My baby boy Jamison is 1 month old today and it has been so much fun with him here! I am loving every minute of it!

Jamison Gabriel Maestas

Carson and I are so excited to have Jamison here. He was born on December 29th 2009, weighing in at 7 lbs and is 21 inches long!

What's new

So this past sunday Carson and I had the opportunity to go to the Day of Remeberance, which is for fallen servicemen from the northwest. It was pretty amazing and very emotional. One of my favorite parts was when all of these bikers rode up on into Flat Top park on their Harleys and lined them all up in the back and began helping where ever they could. It was very touching to see all of these people come out and support the families of those who have lost loved ones in battle and for the support they give to those who are still serving. Carson is in the VFW and had the opportunity to be a part of the ceremony in the rifle squad. It was a very emotional experience but it was such and amazing thing to be a part of. One of the highlights for Carson was that he was able to meet General Mattis, he is a Four Star General which is the highest rank in the Marines, not only that but he is also the Supreme Commander of United NATO Forces, which doesn't mean a lot to me or most people but pretty much he is the man in charge of all military activity in the Middle East right now, for the UN, from what I understand. Oh by the way, General Mattis also graduated from Richland High School which automatically makes him awesome. It is funny because I have never seen Carson so nervous in my life, ever! While he was waiting to meet General Mattis, I actually had to push to go up to the general because people kept going in front of him. So now Carson has some sweet bragging rights when he goes to drill this month.

So, first off, my cat is very strange yet very entertaining. She really likes to get inside of boxes, among many other thicngs. Here she decided to get inside a water bottle container from Costco. I thoroughly enjoy the picture where her face is smashed up against the plastic and her arm is sticking out because she is trying to attack Carson.

So I am sure that everyone is wanting an update on the baby, well he is still in my belly, obviously, and it feels like he is doing somersalts inside of me, which is strange yet exciting. By the way so far his name is Jamison Gabriel Maestas, but who knows that could change by the time january rolls around, I highly doubt it though. Sorry I haven't put up pictures of my pregnant self but I am not really feeling like being infront of the camera anytime soon. Rest assured though, I am sure Tara will make me sometime in the near future.

It's a Boy!

So we had our 20 week ultrasound on friday and found out that we are having a BOY, Carson is ecstatic! His name will be Jamison Gabriel, so that is the exciting news for this blog. Also I finished the MA program and got a job at Kadlec Clinic in West Richland. Carson got a sweet new helmet that I picked out, which is pretty rad. Anyways that is our exciting news for now, that's all.

Porcupine

I guess I will start out by letting everyone know that doesn't already know, that Carson and I are expecting. I am 15 weeks along, and my due date is January 14th, 2 days after my birthday! So that is the most exciting news since the last post. Other than that, I preparing to finish up with school in about 2 weeks. I have been doing my externship at Three Rivers Family Medicine, and it has been really fun. I am no looking for jobs, not so much fun, but am excited to start working and making money again. Carson is still enjoying his motorcycle, he sadly had to leave it for 5 weeks in May and June to go to Oklahoma for the Marines. Other than that we are doing great. We did have an interesting experience this past Sunday. At 4 in the morning I was woken up by the sound of scratching on my bedroom window and kitty hissing at something. When I looked outside I saw a large fury animal trying to escape the window well. As it was 4 in the morning I could not tell what it was so obviously I took a picture of it with my camera phone and texted Carson, since he was away at drill. He thought it was a muskrat... boy was he wrong! Turns out it was a porcupine, it weighed probably a good 30 pounds. By the way, if a porcupine ever gets stuck in your backyard you should know that it is your problem to deal with, animal control will not come and get it for you because it is considered a nuisance and not dangerous?! Anyways, our neighbor had a trap so we trapped it and let it go out by the Yakima at the Richland Y. It was good times all the neighbors had to come and see it, because who knew there are porcupines in the Tri-Cities, I sure didn't, and how the heck did it get into my backyard but couldn't get out? Oh well here are some pictures of our prickly friend! So I have a better picture but it is not currently working, so I will post it when it is.
