The Giles

It is so crazy to me, that sometimes in our we don't understand our trials, and why things happen the way they do. Until one day we look back and realize the opportunities those hardest moments and darkest hours open up in our lives.  As I look back at what Tye and I have gone through, and thank our Heavenly Father for those trials and where they have gotten us today. I know that if Tye had not had the these specific trials in his life, he wouldn't have been in certain situations to share, to be an example to people who may of never opened their hearts to just the simple knowledge of a Father in Heaven who loves them. Although I know that it has been extremely difficult for Tye, his mission is different than others. I am so proud of him, and even in his hardest moments he opens his heart to our loving Heavenly Father and is able to bless so many.  God has a plan for each of us, and individual plan. Sometimes our missions are not clear, but if we cling to our Father in Hea...

Baby Giles #2 This little bundle of joy is scheduled to arrive Sept. 23, 2010. We are really excited for this little one to join our family. Although we've been wanting another baby for awhile, we were suprised that it finally happened. Our Heavenly Father has his own timing and it truly couldn't be better timing. Even though I have been sick it has really helped all of us have something exciting to keep our minds off of missing each other so much. Oaklee is soo excited to be a BIG SISTER! Ever since she saw an episode of Calliou she has been wanting soo bad to be a big brother. We had to convince her that she couldn't be a big brother but she could however be a big sister. I had a feeling that something wasn't quite right the day after Tye left. I didn't know when I would be able to talk to him again so I went to the store and hesitantly bought a pregnancy test. (I didn't want to jinx anything.) After finally getting to talk to Tye I hurried and took the test...

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...
