4 scores and 7 years ago.......

I met the love of my life. I remember the night so clearly. In fact, the next day, I went to work, and told my sister Kathleen (yes, we worked together very briefly)..."I met the guy that I will marry someday" ....and I really meant it. Matt and I met August 20, 1995. I love you honey! Here's to many, many, many more years together...besides, you can't afford the child support to leave me!! ;))

ALL GUSSIED UP!!!

And....in preperation for Rhiannon's Big Birthday Bash...my girls' got...well, all gussied up!

Go ahead....just try and contain yourselves!!!!

Happy Birthday Rhiannon!!

Lil' miss Rhiannon had a B-I-G Birthday on Saturday! She turned 5 years old and I can hardly believe it! I still remember Gen being in labor and me having Spaghetti-O's for lunch that day. Rhiannon also started Kindergarten the week before. She loves it, but is worried that won't be able to remember her "pledges"...the pledge of allegiance. Which I don't blame her, that's difficult!!! Rhiannon~I'm so glad that we have the oppurtunity to be down here with you and Abby and get to spend time with you girls'. We love you very much! XOXO

MY SILLY LITTLE GIRLS!!

We REALLY need to get these girls' to daycare....they are losing it!!!!! But, they are creative little critters!! XOXO

GREEN WITH ENVY!!!!!

I'm proud of this picture....you want to know why? Because no she doesn't have a blue stained, candy tongue........no, Rylee has a mouthful of soybeans which she so carefully peeled each one and made a little pile and then stuffed all 47 soybeans in her mouth all at once. Hey, it's the little things.

SPLISH, SPLASH..EMME'S TAKING A BATH!

She definitely is a water baby! She loves to play with her big sisters' toys, which they are not too happy about. Splash EMME Splash!!!!!

MATTY BOY!

Well, we finally found out what Matt will be when he grows up....a Chemical Corps. Officer. It was one of his selections so, if he's happy then MaMa is happy. Training for that is in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri which is also referred to as Fort Lost In the Woods by anyone that has had the pleasure of being there. He has also transformed into his Senior Phase of OCS (Officer Candidate School). He is in the field right now with the wild boars...no, seriously. I snapped some awesome shots of the Battalion area for OCS. When I see those pictures, it makes me even prouder of him. HOOAH!

Matt Update!

Matt will find out his job this Friday, so hopefully we'll know more information. Like, where he/we go next, where our permanent duty station is, etc. You know...the little things that crazy people like myself would enjoy knowing. Silly me. I'll keep ya'll updated!

Get out the teething rings!!! And their back ups!

Emilee is getting her 1st tooth! FINALLY!!! This child has been teething for months and it's FINALLY starting to break through. AND...she's sitting up on her own. I can't believe it. She changes literally everyday. Last week, she was swaying back and forth when I set her down and this week, she just sits there, like it's meant to be and looks at me like "what?"! My precious, little baby girl.
