6 Years and Counting!

Its hard to believe that 6 years ago Steve and I were married. The time had flown by and so many things have happened. I am grateful for Steve and his hard work! He sets a wonderful example to me and the rest of the family. He helps me to be a better person. Thanks for a wonderful 6 years. I plan on many more great years to come!

P.S. Thank you for the flowers! Not the best picture of the flowers you sent, bad lighting!

First Day of School!

Make a silly face!

Getting ready for school ...Cheese!

Sabrinna had her first day of preschool this week. Its a half day program and she goes four times a week. She has loved school so far and recess is her favorite part! She loves the swings. It is such a bitter sweet time as a mom. I am excited for her to be growing and ready for new things. At the same time its hard to see your little ones grow up and be more and more independent. In all truthfulness I have enjoyed the quiet time at home. Tanner is sleeping and Sabrinna is at school. The other day Sabrinna asked me, "Mom what are you going to do while I am at school today? Are you going to take a nap?" On day one I did!! She is so smart and insightful.

Sesame Street Show

A week ago we went to a Sesame Street show on post. Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover, Rosalida, and Zoey were all present for the big show. Sabrinna was so excited and wanted to give them all a big hug. The characters from the show danced and sang some songs. It was kind of hard to understand what was being said but the kids still loved it. We went with our neighborhood friend Sophia. The girls were dancing around and playing with there Elmo toy, given to them at the door. At one point during the show Elmo and friends started giving out hugs. We were sitting kind of in the back and by the time Sabrinna got up there to get a hug Elmo was done giving hugs out. Sabrinna was devastated! She did not stop talking about how Elmo did not give her a hug or touch her head. It was pretty hard to console her. Luckily with time she did get over it.

Sabrinna and her friend Sophia. Tanner kept trying to grab the camera so I could not get a good picture.

Waving Hello!

Sand Castles!

The dirt in our backyard is mostly sand. We have joked many times there is no need for a sand box because the whole backyard is one. After a particularly large rain storm the ground was really soft. Sabrinna and Tanner took to making sand castles. The only bad part is Tanner would not let one live long enough for me to take a picture. Oh well! The kids had fun.

Tanner is sitting on where there was once sand castle!

Busy at work filling the buckets!

Camping Trip....to the backyard!

Last week the kids and I set up the tent in the back yard. They loved it! Once the tent was up Sabrinna said she was tired and ready for bed. The time was about 7pm normal bedtime is about 8-8:30. Sabrinna and I slept on the air mattress and Tanner tried to sleep in the port-a-crib. Tanner was up most the night...so was I!

The next morning we woke up with the sun about 5:30AM. We were all very tired the next day and took a nap. Even though we did not sleep the best it was still fun to break up the routine a little and enjoy a beautiful summer night!

The Kids being silly!
