Disneyland!!!

Disneyland Rocks!!! We only spent the day there but we hit every major ride and many other things. The family road the Star Tours ride, which all but Eve loved. Space Mountain made most ill, but the rest was alot of fun. We road so many rollercoasters I lost count. But all the kiddos were super brave and tried every ride! Splash Mountain was a blast but scared the heck out of me for one reason, there were no freaking seat belts and I couldn't hold on to Eve .

On the Road Again!!!

On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again........... That's right we are finally on the road to Washington. After the last two weeks, we are very happy to be on our way. We spent this last week out at a cabin and it was the best thing we have done. The kiddos spent the week crayfish and frog hunting(believe me they found tons, and named them and tried to keep them). They had a lot of fun! I spent the week doing homework and trying to get ahead in my classes so that I won't be stressing them on our trip and when we are settling(I am hoping to have my AAG in June). Scott spent the week clearing post, although he still found a couple afternoons to spend fishing and campfires(I think he is a pyro in hiding). But our peaceful week has come to end and now we are on the road heading for WA. Tonight we have stopped over in Kerrville, Tx, but tomorrow we are heading to Sierra Vista to spend some times with some friends and to do the tourist thing in Tombstone and Bisbee. Then it is on to Disneyland for a few days before we head north. I will keep y'all updated!

Getting ready to head north!

Well Hello everyone! These last few weeks have flown by! We had an awesome New Years' Eve. We spent it out at the lake, yes the lake it was 75 degrees, with our army family and then went and lit off fireworks. The fireworks was interesting since one of our friends let his roman candle stray into a box of unlit fireworks, good thing we were with a bunch of military men who knew how to duck and cover(unfortunetly it didn't include the children). We have spent the rest of our time getting ready for the move. Anyone associated with the military knows that the military runs on paperwork, lots and lots of paperwork, so we have been running around getting the paperwork done so that we can leave this crazy backwards place. We have the movers coming this week and by friday our house will be empty except for us! WOOHOO! We will be moving out to a cabin at the lake for the last week we are here. So we will be without internet, I think I will go through withdrawls! But being out away from everything will be so nice!! So I guess this is my sign off till we are heading north. Take care!!

Last week of December

Wow I can't believe it's the last week of December! This year has been so full of ups and downs I feel like I am attached to a string of a yoyo. Anyway, we had a great Christmas and decided to let the kids celebrate New Year's Eve early with a sleepover(I know I am completely crazy!). I had a total of 8 kids at the beginning but lost 2 during the night back to their house. But I am exhausted, and we are going to go out tonight for New Year's Eve. I hope this year has been good for all, I know I am looking forward to the new year.

We also had a lot of fun with our army family on Christmas Eve! This is my Army nephew after I snuck him a cupcake, he was so embarassed cause all the adults came in and were laughing, I whisked him away to a bath which made him much more happy!

Cookies

Well we spent yesterday making cookies for our party today and for Santa and the cookies were so beautiful I had to show them off! Santa is going to go into diabetic shock!

Loving our December together

Well we are loving being together this holiday season although I don't think we have slowed to an all out run since this month has begun. Last week we had our Christmas parade which the boys and I were able to walk in as representatives of the cub scouts. It was a blast and a night parade so we were able to see wonderful light displays. On sunday we were finally able to celebrate Eve's 4th birthday with our army family. She had so much fun and got a ton of ponies(Which she was in heaven with). We also had our cub scout holiday party which was a blast and helped wear out the children! Between getting ready for Christmas and our move we never seem to have a moment to just sit, but hey what fun would that be!

Christmas fun

Well although this was our weekend for the flu bug we still managed to have some fun. And this weekend really helped me remember one of the many reasons I love being a military spouse. We started off saturday with a post christmas parade, it wasn't very long maybe 12 floats but they toss out enough candy to fill a grocery bag. Then I spent the rest of the day working on Christmas gifts. Today we went and got our Christmas tree, and for us this was a special thing as it has been 3 years since we have had a real Christmas tree in our own home. We had to wait in line for over an hour but we got our free tree and just sat there smelling it for forever(we're dorks). Then we spent the afternoon at what the base calls Jingle Jam. The kids got to sit and get pics with Santa, watch a military police dog demonstration, play on a hemmtt firetruck, bounce in jumpers, ride ponies and make crafts. Along with having hot dogs, funnels cakes, hot cocoa and cookies and mind you all of this was free. Life in the military is hard but on days like today when they give you back just a little it makes it easier to deal with the harder stuff. It was a lot of fun. Then we came home and got our Christmas tree up and it is the most beautiful one I think we have ever had! Merry Christmas everyone!
