Squadron Easter Party

It was a looong but fun day, and the kids were in kid heaven.  Before the Easter egg hunt even started Cooper had spotted 2 golden eggs.  He was able to get one, which to his happy surprise contained $5.  What a lucky boy he is!  Cooper especially loved being able to go in the C-130 and sit in the cockpit just like his daddy.  Liam liked the plane not the tarmac,  as you can see in the last picture he won't even put his feet on the ground and he is watching in the FAR distance a plane that is taxiing to the runway.  It was a fun and eventful day and I appreciate those who worked very hard to put it together for us to enjoy. 

For Daddy- first time ice skating

Reality is setting in...

It seemed so far away...but the time has come up fast.  Time for Travis to go to more training in Little Rock.  I am grateful for this training in someways, it has saved him from a deployment in May and that would have been 4 months and this is only 2 months.  So, I am happy for that because he will be here when the baby is born and he won't have to deploy until November.  The kids are going to miss him, I am going to miss him.  2 months is nothing right? Iin military time it really is nothing, so no complaining for me.  I am thankful that he has been here since October and hasn't had to go anywhere since then.   We just LOVE him so much we HATE it when he leaves us.  One more happy week, going to soak it up!

A garden

I really want to plant a garden.  We have REALLY dry and WINDY weather and very hard ground.  I am pretty sure building a planter and adding my own soil is the way to go, any other pointers?  I just can't wait to have my own cucumbers and pumpkins and tomatoes!  Mmmmm now I just need to build it, and plant it and tend it.  Minor details.

something new

We have had a lot of new things happen...I just haven't "felt" like posting.  If I would stop throwing up already I would be a lot more motivated I think.  But here is some of the things we have done.
-Cooper turned 5 in January
-Cooper started Basketball
-Travis and I went to Hawaii ALONE in February (thank you Grandma's and Grandpa's!)
-I went to Vegas on a girls trip

-and besides that we are just chugging along

Out of Commission

I have a sorry excuse for not being a good blogger, It is our New Years surprise!  Most of you know, if not all of you, but we are expecting a little nugget in August.  I have spent most of my time from January to now lying on the couch or head in the toliet.   I am hoping a few more weeks and I will be feeling myself again. 

I like the taste of soap

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Hells"
This is what Cooper keeps singing.  He really is starting to like rhyming.   I quickly tried to shut down that rhyme but it seems like he doesn't understand why.  I am thankful that he doesn't get that "hell" is a bad word to say, but I told him to stop saying it or I was going to wash his mouth out with soap.  His reply, I like the taste of soap.
