Mother's Day

The kids and I headed up to Tucson to spend the day with Natalie and her kiddos. We enjoyed the day at the Children's Museum and then snacked on some cupcakes to celebrate her daughter's birthday. It was alot of fun for all!

Easter 2014

We celebrated Easter with Buck's cousin and her fam this year. We are fortunate enough to some family nearby even though the Army moved us from the South. It just happened to work out and we are thankful. We didn't have any plans and were invited to come to their house to eat burgers and have the kids participate in an egg hunt. The kids were so cute and it was interesting watching the different ages (19 mos - almost 7) go about it in their own ways. Natalie and I also got to squeeze in a trip to Costco before the festivities began...and we went sans children!

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 :).

Saints Mini Mites

B played his first season of Football this year. He was on the Saints mini mites team. For it being his first year, he did great! He was scared at first and still sometimes during. Can you blame him? We had the smallest team out there! He really enjoyed it and said he wants to play again next year. Buck was stateside and was able to coach the team. Good thing since the Head Coach was late pretty much every time and didn't even make it to the last game (great example Coach!), but Buck and the other two coaches took over and did a wonderful job!

Oh Those Cousins

Every time my family gets together we try to get a picture of the grandchildren. For the past three years we always add another. This year...it will still only be four :). Here's the best we could do this past September...

Such a ham :)

Cute and Cuddly

A Year Already

Hard to believe that a year has passed since this little girl came into our lives...but it has. This beautiful little being has been such a blessing for us. She loves to growl, crawl to escape us after making sure we are watching her, get into trouble, put things in her mouth (like, everything), laugh (even if it's fake), make others laugh, build with blocks, race cars, chase things that her big bubby throws, roll around on the carpet, take a few steps if she feels like it, yell "Mama" if I am not paying attention to her, call for "Baba" even when he's at school, chase the vacuum, laugh at loud noises, yank glasses right off your face, give kisses (new), and sometimes help pick things up. She is a wonderful delight for us all and everyone we meet even if only for a moment. She can brighten a room with the amount of smiles she gives out expecting nothing in return. We were truly blessed with another wonderful child. I can't wait to see what the next year brings for us.
