The Giles

Well, I know an update is long overdue, but what can I say our lives have been CRAZY. I finished my finals right before my sister's came for Christmas. Thanks Tye for being patient with me as the cleaning and laundry went undone. But the good news is that I got 3 A's and a B! Not bad for my first semester back. Then as I previously mentioned my three sisters came into town for Christmas, and I loved it. This holiday season brought so much joy, and I am so very thankful for the time that I was able to spend with those I love most. After my family left we went and spent some time up at the cabin with Tye's family. We had so much fun going snowmobiling as a family (Oaklee loved it!) Then when we got home it was time to start packing to move out of our house. As Tye was preparing to leave we tried to spend as much time as possible together. I really do appreciate this special time together. Tye is such a special loving person. He is so caring for Oaklee and I, and I'm so pr...

Last night Tye and I thought it would be funny to crawl under Oaklee's bed and scare her. Then the paln evolved into a better idea. While I was hiding under the bed, Tye told her that her wand was magic and made her bed move. So everytime she would say the magic words her bed would rise. Then we would get her out of the room and hurry and switch places so she could show me. She never caught on to it. We told her that like cinderella the magic would only last so long. Later she was in her room for like 20 min just yelling with so much frustration ABRA KA "BRAGRA." Then this morning she tried it once asnd it didn't work and she got the saddest look on her face.

Well for Halloween Tye and I decieded that we would get festive and carve pumpkins. So Papa Newman sent Oaklee (jellybean) and entire bin. She was so excited because he put her name one it and made sure that nobody touched them until she got her pick. He made sure that he sent her the biggest pumkin he could find. She was so excited. Thanks Papa Newman!

Awe look how cute lil share is!

Future Army BRAT! Ok so I know it has been the longest time since we have blogged, but what can I say we have been very busy. As for our most exciting update...... Tye joined the Army! We are so excited for this... We just felt as if we needed something new and out of the box. I am so proud of him to choose to serve his country. He will be leaving for boot camp late October. Oaklee and I will stay here for now. I will be attending school for a semester. Then in February we will join him wherever we are stationed. It is going to be so fun to travel and live in new places. It gives us adventure, Freedom, and stability. As of now he is in for three and a half years. After that we will decide if we want to stay in longer or choose another path. Oaklee and I just got back from Nauvoo where my grandparents are serving a mission. It was such a great time...mostly because I was able to spend time with some of my favorite people..... my SISTERS! I am so blessed to have three of the greatest si...

So every year Tye's Grandma and her 4 sisters get together with there girls and there girls girls, for a weekend. (Make sense?) Well this last weekend it was in Layton and Kim and I decieded to ride together with Oaklee. Oak had been so excited to go, she was ready a week proir. She has also been on a huge baby kick she doesn't go anywhere with out her dolls. She doesn't even bath until she switches out for the water baby. Well anyways before we left the house she realized that she would be going swimming, so she kissed her baby good bye, only in exchange for her water baby that she left at grandmas, that we were going to go pick up. We get on the road and we are about to Pocatello and Oaklee pipes up and say, "mom where is my wata baby?" I said "oh we forgot it at grandmas." Withour even a pause she then says," Kim hurwy tuwn awound go back to pwetty granma's and get my wata baby" We told her it was too far and if we did we would run out ...

Amanda and I were just going through some pictures, and we ran across this one. It was when Kyra and Camree were here from Florida. They were all suppose to be sleeping. I went up there to check on them, they had the lights on the room torn apart and Kyra had put lotion all over Oaklee's face. It was so funny! At first I was going to be the tough guy and follow through with my idle threts. Then I took one look at Oak and I couldn't be angry I had to laugh!
