Fun Fun

Playing at Papa and Nana's house





And at Big Gma's house







And at DeeDee and RoRo's house! (this is their new house by the way, bea-u-ti-ful!)

Off to NC

We headed to NC for a short visit (making it back before Hurricane Irene decided to land as we speak)! And this is the way I like my boys to travel on an airplane - SLEEPING! They did really good and we got to fly with Matthew for FREE one more time! :)


Hanging out at the airport with our 3 hr layover!

Bailey turns 6!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Bailey! Today she turns 6!

Here's a little stroll down memory lane! Here is the day we got her - cutest puppy EVER!



This is the day she realized she was too big to go under our bed anymore....she got a little stuck!

Yikes

My husband made it home just in time to find this "little" guy (and I use the word little loosely) hanging out in our back yard! YIKES! Thank the GOOD LORD he was here - I have killed one snake but I hope it is the only one I have to ever get near!
So he was hiding under our deck stairs right where all the kids toys are! Just thinking of it gives me the willies! But David (who is also NOT a fan of snakes) took care of our problem!

Here he is - almost as long as the shovel!

If you had asked me what it was I would have said this - an ANACONDA that was here to kill us all!

But it was in all reality a Common Garter Snake. The description here states that he is HARMLESS! That's fine and dandy Mr Snake, but to me you all all scary and deadly and I want nothing more to do with you!

Now here is hoping that all his buddies think he just left town and hopefully they don't come looking for him!

Another one down!

Deployment that is! This makes for #4 in such a short time, but we were blessed with a short deployment, no delays and no quick turns! So that means all is good! We are all happy, happy and are going to enjoy the little bit of time we have together before it's back to work, school starting, and taking a peak at the upcoming deployment roster!

Bored and waiting on Daddy!



Kisses for Daddy!




Check out this little cutie!

Par-tay

The boys had a birthday party for some friends tonight and I thought the "cake" was all sorts of fun! Jaime made ice cream cone cupcakes and Matthew was all over his! Such a cute idea for kiddos! He did end up with icing all over his face and even up his nose! I think he approved!

First Movie for Matthew

I have been MIA lately! I have actually not been taking pictures either! Life has just been busy lately and we are surviving - that's all I can say! I see some excitement in our near future though, so I promise more pictures!

Until then here are a couple posts with pics from my phone (the quality is OH not so good!) :)

Matthew went to his first movie and he did OKAY! I had to take him out a couple times, but it was one of those $2.00 summer specials for kids, so all was fine! He was a big fan of the popcorn, drink and candy!

And here is Jackson with his buddies, Sidney and Savannah!
