Holy Wow!!

I was sitting here reading someone else's blog post (because I have nothing else to do *sarcasm*) and started thinking about how I haven't written a post in a while.  I looked back to my blog and saw that it has been almost a year - A YEAR!! Holy smokes have my kiddos grown in that amount of time!! So here is a rundown of things that have happened...

Bucky started 2nd grade

Our New Adventure

A lot has happened since my last post so this will, again, just be a recap. Since I last wrote, we have visited PC for the holidays and traveled cross country to PCS to Arizona.

Bucky got his Orange Belt in Jujitsu.

We visited Florida before heading west.

Visited the battleship in Mobile Bay.

We spent a couple of days in Tombstone.

We rang in the New Year at a hotel in Tombstone.

Moved into our house at Fort Huachuca, AZ. 

And, of course, enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Now is where I promise to stay caught up and blog every X amount of days but between 2 kids, a husband's erratic work schedule, my school and continuing to set up a house for us for the next few years (hopefully), I'm a little busy. It's a good busy, but busy nonetheless :).

It's soooooo not happening...

I've failed again at blogging daily but such is life. If that's the worst thing I fail at than I am doing just fine.

Over the Christmas break, we all headed down to PC for some family time with my folks. And I got to meet Caitlyn for the first time. She was only 4 days old. I gotta say, my bro and sis-in-law make some really, REALLY cute babies! We hung out at the house, played, visited some friends, enjoyed no one having the stomach flu this year, and even took time for some extra activities, such as fishing and going to the park. We did make it over to Ft Walton for a few hours to visit there too. Nothing too exciting happened, which is just the way we like it. And for those who were wondering, I could've worn shorts on Christmas Day :)!

Buck and I went to a friend's friend's house (because that's what we do in the South) for the FSU bowl game against Notre Dame. Though we were all worried at first, all I have to say is "Go NOLES!"

We also went to a "family-friendly" New Year's Eve party. Bucky was the only kiddo to survive until midnight - what a champ! The kids roasted marshmallows, did sparklers, and played Wii most of the night while the adults watched football and just had a great time. Thanks Trey!

And then we headed home...

Christmas Pics

I ran out of time to get Christmas cards printed and mailed this year but here are some pics I took just in case.

Friday Fest?

Mom and I attempted to take Bucky to the tree lighting downtown but they lit the tree 15 minutes early so we missed it. Then we walked up and down Harrison for the worst Friday Fest ever. Nobody was there so we weren't sure what was going on. We had a good walk but not as much fun as we were expecting. It was a great night to get out though.

Saluting in Front of the Tree

What a Ham!

Christmas Break

For Buck's Christmas leave, we flew to ATL to visit his grandparents and some of our friends. From there we drove to Panama City to visit my family and Buck's aunt and uncle in Valparaiso. We were able to visit with a few friends while in PC. All in all, everyone was doing very well and it was great to see everyone.

Christmas Pictures

We took our family Christmas pictures this morning. Here are a few of them.
