What's a Boy to Do?

 


With two older sisters?!?!

Moving Target

My friend, Cindy wanted to get some pictures of Beckett the other day. This proved to be quite entertaining as he wouldn't sit still for nothing! About the time she would snap the picture he was off and running again! We tried to get all the kids involved but that ended in D*R*A*M*A oh the joy of having daughters!! Cindy did manage to get a few good ones in all the chaos!

Happy Birthday, Alden!!

It's hard to believe that my second born is now 7 years old!! Where did the time go? It seems that in her short life that her daddy has missed most of her birthday's either from deployments or PCSing. This year when asked what she wanted for her birthday she said all she wanted was a birthday party where her daddy could come. So, even though it wasn't the most convenient time to throw a birthday party and I wouldn't recommend throwing a birthday party in the middle of a move, but we did it! (the sacrifices we make for our children!) We celebrated a couple of weeks early than her May 9Th birthday so that Trace could attend. He left the very next day for Ohio! She wanted an "Under the Sea" theme. My friend, Cindy created the cutest of cute invitations for her swim party that was held in our base indoor pool. A good time was had by all! Alden also happened to be visiting her grandparents on her "real" birthday that she got to celebrate twice with her family! Lucky girl!

catching up...

I've got a lot of catching up to do. This past month has been SO busy! We had family and friends visiting back to back, Packers and Movers, a Birthday Party, and as if we were'nt busy enough a trip to Washington DC thrown in there courtesy of the USAF!! What a month. Unfortnatly, there's no rest for the weary as it appears this next month is going to be just as busy. The kids and I leave for Arizona next week for our three week vacation and then it's back to South Dakota to pick up our car and make the long trek to Ohio! This is not soon enough for Trace who is already missing his family! :(

Boy's only Trip

My guy's left yesterday for their Arizona Vaction! I miss them already! Beckett got a spiffy new haircut before he left. Is he CUTE or what? (I think so!!)

You can't sell that!

Cindy and I decided to play a trick on Trace as we were setting up for our yard sale. We took a few of his prized possessions and stuck a price tag on them. His reaction was priceless. We got a good laugh!

A Sight to See.

I have been such a bad blogger lately! We're starting everything that needs to be done before a move and there hasn't been any blog worthy news! The weather has also been pretty yucky so no good pictures to show you, Spring is definitely a late arrival here in South Dakota this year!!! I am ready for some Arizona Sunshine! The kids and I will be going for a visit once school is out of session and I can't hardly wait. Only 51 more days....! (not that I am counting or anything!) Trace and Beckett leave Saturday for a little R&R at the in laws in Camp Verde. SO Jealous. I want to go!!! Someones got to stay behind though and get the kids to school and paint the cranberry walls in my living room--that I had to have, back to white! Looking forward to it...NOT!

Alright back to the basis of this post. This weekend we decided to have a yard sale and cash in on some of this junk that's been accumulating around here for the past 3 years. I enlisted the help of my good friend Cindy who happily obliged! As we were going through endless stacks of boxes the kids were also having a good time of their own. By the looks of it it appears as if they attracted most of the neighborhood. Mariah was supposed to be watching Beckett. I did not realize she had brought his high chair into the yard and put him in it. This is what we saw when we ventured out of the garage! Does it not look like a bunch of hillbillies live here?

Mary--this post is for you!! ha!
