Another Goodbye... But Never Forever

Boys and Their Toys!

One of the things Mike and Jase have in common is.... T.V. lol :)

I had to take this picture cause seeing these two BOTH glued onto the T.V. was priceless. So cute! Boys lol :) Good Father Son Bonding Time right? lol. I sure love them both!!!!!
Jase and his smile: I can't help but smile back every time. As long as Jase is smiling, there is no way I can be in a bad mood :) Jase really has kept me strong and somewhat sane :) during this deployment. He really has been a huge blessing in my life; sorry Daddy beats you as being the best blessing in my life lol. You might have to play rock paper scissors over it :) Anyway, I don't think I could have made it this last year without Jase. Thanks Lil Man! You mean the world to Mommy!!!! :) Love you Bubba! ♥

The beautiful flowers Mike gave me the day before he left back for Afghanistan. No occasion, just him showing me how much he truely cares and loves me :) Mike is the kindest and sweetest person I'll ever meet! I love everything he does for me, the big or the small :) I'll miss my husband very much the next little bit. But I have to keep going strong; we just have a lil more to go. I'll always wait for my love no matter how long or how many deployments he goes on. I'll always be proud of all the selfless sacrifices he makes for our family as long as our country! I love you Mike! You'll always be within my prayers, thoughts and dreams. I ♥ you!!!!

Our Hiking Adventure

to the Waterfalls!

Wow, our family looks so darn cute! I love how Jase looks like both me and Mike. It's like he's smack dab in the middle of us. Ok, I'm done bragging :) Jase loved the hike of course! He loves to be in the outdoors just like his Momma.
All I've got to say is "Lucky Me" :) I have no clue what I did to have such an amazing family: my partner until the end as well as my lil play buddy :) We make quite the team!

If you couldn't tell, it started sprinkling rain on us lol. Go going rain drop! Had to land on my camera lens lol. Still the cutest picture! Nice Smile Jase :)

We're almost there! Just a lil FURTHER! lol. It's actually quite a relaxing hike. It about 1.5 Miles and it's steep whatsoever. It's very peaceful. I love hearing the sound of nature... it'll immediately calm me no matter what mood I'm in.

We Made IT!!!! YAY! The waterfall is so beautiful. Just takes the words right out of my mouth. I wouldn't mind hiking to this waterfall as much as possible! Dang we're CUTE :)

Daddy taking Jase closer to the waterfall. Oh YA, he's mine :) Cute Bottom Hun!!!!

They got so close to the waterfall that Jase even got to feel the water. Brrrr :) He still enjoyed it all the same. Fascinated as ever! Thank you Mike for taking us on this amazing adventure! And thank you for the best 2 weeks of my life! I'll sure miss you the next couple of months but this long journey is finally almost over. Let's kick this deployment in the butt and keep going strong :) We're almost there!!!!

Get Your Hiking Boots On!

We went Hiking to the Lewis and Clark Caverns near Three Forks, MT

Look at those cute Hikers!!! :) I've come to find out that Jase absolutely loves to go on hikes or any kind of walk or stroller ride. He becomes so fascinated with everything! His face just glows- I love seeing him this happy :)
Here's Jase just after our 1-2 mile hike. Can't you tell? :) We're just about to enter into the caverns. Wish us luck!!!!!

Here's the aftermath of the cave. Jase did ok the first 5 minutes of the caverns but just right after the point they asked if anyone wanted to turn around and go back could do so now.... Jase decided he wasn't a fan of the caverns lol. He cried for like 15 minutes but then just crashed in the front carrier on Mike; he was asleep the whole way until just when we were leaving the exit tunnel. Jase definitely got quite the cavern experience lol.

Here's the happy family :) lol Even with Jase freaking out the first part of the caverns, I still enjoyed my adventure especially when spending it with Mike! He was the sweetest Husband and best dad. He helped so much by just doing the little things like wearing the front carrier and Jase. Thanks my love!!! You're the BEST!

Jase's 1st 4th of July!!!

At the Livingston Rodeo

HaPpY bIrThDaY aMeRiCa!!!!

Cute Newsomes watching the Rodeo in Livingston. Like our new Oakleys??? Mike was sweet enough to buy us both a new pair today :) I love them! Even bought a new microwave; We're on a roll!!!! lol. Jase loved watching all the people and was so fascinated with everything!

There's Momma and Jase again :) Another cute that I LOVE! I just can't take any bad pictures of this family no matter how hard I try :) CUTE!

This picture takes my breath away!!! I'm speechless. Dang I'm lucky!!! :)

Aww. Jase's smile is priceless! Wouldn't trade it for anything in the whole world! I love you Jase Man ♥

There's my Boys!!! Towards the end of the Rodeo, it started sprinkling on us but nothing unbearable. Jase Man then decided he was super tired = CRANKY! lol. So we left to go back to Bozeman and made it just in time to watch the big firework show. The show was amazing and my 4th of July with my family was even more amazing :)

The Start of Our....

....Happily Ever After!!!

At least for two weeks :)

Our First Family Adventure

Fishing at Hyalite Reservoir near Bozeman, MT

Cutest Family Portrait :) I'm absolutely in love with this picture! I already have it hanging up on our wall :) LOVE LOVE LOVE! I feel the happiest ever being with my lil family. We had a blast fishing.

There's Momma and Jase keeping the seat warm :) Got to admit we're the cutest fishermen EVER!!! I'm definitely loving my new hair color!

Daddy and Jase Posing for the camera! They just look so darn cute together!!!! Jase looks a lot like Mike; I love it! They even both have the same cheesy smile; JUST KIDDING! I ♥ their smiles with a passion! Makes my heart melt!!!! Love you two!
My Most Favoritest Place to Be!!! Awwww.. so precious! This is what I look forward to every time we're apart; to be held close to my eternal companion. Definitely helps me make it through the tough and long times of this deployment. I love you Mr. Newsome!!!

Now that's the catch of the DAY! :) This is Daddy's Fisherman pose. SEXY! lol :)

There's Momma's Fisherman pose :) What a crazy couple! That's why we're perfect for each other! I love my life!!!!!!! I couldn't ask for anything more at this moment. I love my family MUCHO!!!!

At the Airport!!!! WOOHOO......

Almost Time to See Daddy!

Jase and I arrived at the airport 30 minutes before his boarding time just to make sure we don't miss him coming out of the terminal. This was the longest 30 minutes of MY LIFE!!!! lol. Time seemed to drag forever. Jase looks like quite the happy camper lol; he wasn't very patient either.

YAY DADDY'S HOME!!!!! I love the surprised looks :) This was definitely the happiest moment of my life. Not only being able to hold my best friend close again but I got to see Jase finally hold his daddy too! They formed a strong close bond immediately; seeing this really made my heart feel full. I love MY BOYS ♥
I love this picture!!!! This is definitely my favorite of Mike's Homecoming pics :) It's so nice to have our cute little family together again! I love Michael and Jase Newsome with all my Heart for all ETERNITY!

The Newsomes are together again!!!! Cutest family EVER! :) I like how I'm the only one paying attentions; figures lol. Gotta love them boys :) Still great for memories of one of the best days of my life. I'm the happiest woman in the whole entire universe! I couldn't stop smiling for anything lol.

Time to Play Catch Up!

I have got so behind on my blog- It's been ages since I've been on here lol. So I'm going to pick up from here and maybe some day down the road, I'll finish what I missed. Enjoy!

Mike's 2 Week Break

From Deployment (Afghanistan)

Mike was given a 2 week leave in the beginning of July to come home and spend time with his new family

Let's start off with some pics of the day that Jase and I were getting ready to head to the airport to pick up Daddy after not seeing him for 7 MONTHS!

As a surprise, I had someone custom-make an ACU Army Uniform with Mike's Rank and everything. Doesn't he look cute??? An Army Soldier just like his Daddy :)

This is what Jase's ACU Uniform looked on him when we just received it a couple months before Mike comes home. It looks so huge on him in this picture lol. Crazy how fast and how big he has grown! What a cutie!!!!

Momma and Jase just about to jump into the car and ride off to the Airport to finally pick up and see our man! Definitely going to surprise Mike- I look completely different than the last time he's seen me, in a good way of course :) For the last 2 months, I haven't sent any pictures of me to Mike so I can really surprise him! Hope he likes it!!!!

Play Pen Time

Jase's 1st Time in His Play Pen

Exciting!!!

Here's our Little Man enjoying his play pen for the first time! I can't believe how big he looks! He actually loved it! He was so fascinated with the mobile; I definitely need to get him a battery operated mobile cause cranking up the mobile every couple minutes is definitely not how I planned to spend my day :) Plus he loves it so I have to keep it going or he'll freak! If it's not Jase's way, it's no way. Wait that sounds familiar :) Love you Mike! :)

Awww... Look how peaceful he looks! :) This playpen was definitely a success; he got to play his heart out and then crash and sleep. 1 Point for Momma!!! :)

Here's Jase in the changing table that connected to the play pen; wow this has become so handy especially with us being at the office during the day. He plays, sleeps and well you know... gets changed :) in his new play pen. YAY!!! :)

Christmas Time!!!

Jase's 1st Christmas!!!

Here's Momma and Jase Christmas morning at the McCown's. Great Grandma and Grandpa even came to MT from Washington to spend Christmas with us! Grandma Holly and Jenny bought Jase the cutest Christmas outfit for Jase! How do you like it? Isn't it the cutest "Santa Baby" EVER!!! :)

Here's Mr. Jase in his Christmas Eve P.J.'s that Grandma McCown bought him. He just looks too dang cute!!! I love it! :) Wish Mike could have been here with us to see him but we'll just have to make next year's Christmas (1st Christmas as a family) a million times better! We love and Miss you Daddy! :)

And here's Mr. Scrooge lol; just kidding. At this point he was really over taking pictures lol, can't you tell? :) He's just going to have to get used to it cause I'll be taking millions and millions of pictures. What torture huh? :) At least Jasers is cute even in his not so good moments. :)

Here's Momma opening Christmas presents at the Newsomes. Me and him were definitely spoiled by both of our families! Thanks bunches! We are so greatful and absolutely love everything we got! I'd say Jase had a pretty good first Christmas :) He was even so lucky to get baby wipes and Vitamin D from Santa; I'm definitely jealous! :)

Jase is 1 MONTH OLD!!!

Jase's Already 1 MONTH OLD!!!

Here's Mr. Jase in his cute hooded jacket at ONE MONTH OLD! I can't believe how fast timing is flying by.. Where did time go??? I can't help but smile at that cutie! :)

Here's Jase the morning of him being one month old in his swing. He absolutely loves sleeping in his swing; good luck with switching to his crib :) No he'll do perfectly fine; he's surprised me so much on how good of a baby he is. I'm so proud of you Jase!!!

Hugs for Daddy!!! Like the hair doo? :) Just a little bald on top but still cute!

Jase was definitely more interesting in getting the binkie than taking the picture :) So cute!!! His momma definitely looks pretty crazy! Who knows if she was ready for this pic either :) I still love my cute little family!

Jase in His Front Carrier

for the 1st Time!

December 16, 2010

Jase was so small in this that his feet didn't even go through the leg holes lol. It was so cute but he can definitely grow a little more; I had to hold his head the whole time because his neck couldn't quite support it yet. So the whole "carrier" was kinda pointless if I had to hold him anyway lol. It's the thought that counts right? :) Jase is just a little guy :) I still had fun putting him in it! Don't worry Buddy, you'll fit into it soon!!!

Jase is 3 Weeks Old!

Aw my little man is getting bigger and cuter each day. On December 17, 2010, Jase finally wears big boy diapers!!! lol. Yup Jasers (like the nickname lol I'm definitely a dork) doesn't wear newborn diapers anymore; CRAZY! He still fits into his newborn clothes which I'm really surprised; at least he actually gets to wear out his clothes :)

See, Jase even has his own guard dog lol. I think it's so cute how motherly my parents' dogs (Kahauni, Kamo and Maui) have become since me and Jase have stayed there. This is my puppy Maui Mae; aren't they just cute! I love how precious Jase looks while he takes his naps. :)

Tummy Time for Jase! :) This only lasts for a couple minutes before he starts becoming frustrated like you can kinda see in the picture. Silly boy has the worst patience in the world -he might be tied with his father lol JUST KIDDING :) Once Jase starts realizing he can't move his head or neck quite yet, he becomes upset and demands tummy time to be over lol. What a cutie! I sure love you like crazy Jase!

Jase's 1st Santa Pictures!!!

December 11, 2010

My silly son was definitely messing with me today; when we were riding in the car to the small where Santa was, Jase was crying and freaking out. I was worried that he would he would freak out while taking the picture so I stayed in the car in the mall parking lot trying to comfort him; NOTHING worked! So I finally gave up and heading into the mall. The first second we walked through the doors, Jase became quiet and before I knew it when I stood in line, he was completely zonked out lol. I didn't want to wake him so we took the pictures with him asleep. He still looks extremely cute and they turned out amazing!

Look at Jase's face!!! He's glaring at his momma again lol. Aparently I was taking away the attention from him lol; what a silly boy. Don't we look cute with Santa! It was quite cute watching Santa hold Jase; he was so small that I think he didn't know what to do with him. Jase was probably the smallest (or one of the smallest) child that came to sit on his lap. Jase didn't get to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas but next year he definitely will! He'll probably be a Christmas-crazy boy just like his Daddy :)

Jase's first 2 weeks!

Jase at one...

no TWO WEEKS OLD!!!

Here's Jasey Boy at almost 2 weeks old! Time is flying by so fast!!! I can't believe it has already been almost two weeks since he was born. This is good because it'll help Mike's deployment go by faster where Mike will be home before I know it but it's also heartbreaking because eventually Jase won't be my little cuddle buddy anymore. Might as well enjoy every second I have with him! :) This is the picture I used for his birth announcement; Isn't he adorable?!!! I love it! He's still in his newborn diapers; see how long that lasts :) Love ya Buddy!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!!! Jase tends to like to glare at his momma A LOT lol. I guess he didn't want to go in his car sear lol. Silly Little Man! :) But I love him and that's all that counts right? I love how his binkie takes up pretty much his whole face; no it's not that big but Jase is still definitely small. I'm definitely not going to complain cause I love my lil cuddle buddy!

Jase is playing peek-a-boo with me, how cute! :) I'm pretty sure he didn't mean to do that but I still think it's adorable. Like the huge mittens? :) Jase has the biggest habit of scratching his face and even know his nails are short from me just cutting them, he manages to still tear up his face. Poor lil man; it doesn't help when the mittens come off as soon as I put them on lol.
