One picture....10,000 words

Finally, 10,000 lbs. unpacked. Need I say more.

Finally settled in WA...Kind of

We are in the house and Monday we will receive our furniture. Thank God. We will be able to set up my regular computer and I will be able to visit all my friends in blogland. We did get our van last Friday so no more walking lol. I hope all of you are doing well out there. Can't wait to be able to blog hop again.

New Home woohoo

Because of my daughters medical needs we are lucky enough to get a house on post immediately. Even luckier for me it is one of the historical houses I have always wanted to live in. It has a fireplace, a porch dining area, and dormer windows. I know I will enjoy making this house my home. Luckily it has a full basement and 4 bedrooms. And if anyone was wondering it was sunny and hot in WA today.

Moving

Our house is being packed out tomorrow and crated for shipping on Thursday. We will be in a hotel until the evening of July 27 then it is off to WA. The kids are excited to go to a new place even though we were already stationed at Ft. Lewis. I found out today that my friend, who took her baby to San Francisco last week , is home and that the baby has been diagnosed with infantile spasms and seizures. They may be sent to Lewis too in a few months. The baby is doing good and she had the perfect seizures while hospitalized. As soon as she did the neurosurgeons ran down from observation and got to see the whole thing. As much as this sucked for her it showed them a lot about her seizures. Anyway that's the news for this week.

Chuckie Cheese for Darrians Birthday

Darrian is 7 today. Happy Birthday my sweet boy. Here he is opening a few gifts.

I thought this was so cute. From the mouths of babes.

The Devil

Two boys were walking home from Sunday School. They had just heard a firm teaching about Satan.

"What do you think about all that devil stuff?" one boy asked.

"Oh, I don't know," said the other one. "Remember Santa Claus? He turned out to be just your dad. The devil's probably the same thing."

Pray for baby Hailey

Pray for Baby Hailey who is going to CA today to find out what type of seizures she is having and what can be done about them. Here she is in 3D glasses.

A: He didn't want any advice.

Fourth of July...almost here

We will probably enjoy a last minute bbq with our neighbors and then walk up the hill to enjoy the fireworks at night. The kids have a huge box of poppers they can't wait to play with. What is everyone doing for the fourth?

I'm reading Lake News by Barbara Delinsky and so far I am enjoying it. What is everyone reading?

Vacation Bible School

The kids had vacation Bible school at church this week and they are really enjoying it. They have some type of cosmic theme where the leaders are dressed as astronauts and they made the church garbage cans into robots. I still think the most fun the kids have is at the end where our children's pastor, Pastor Mel, throws out t-shirts into the audience and if you catch one you get to keep it. Doesn't everyone like something they get for free? Anyone else doing VBS this summer?

New Show

For fans of the series "Hopkins" there will be a new show starting Thursday, Boston Med. Boston Med was filmed at 3 Massachusetts hospitals, Massachusetts General, Brigham and Women's, and Children's Hospital Boston. Check out this website if you are interested, as for me I can't wait.

Scott's Pool part 1

Darrian giggling as he came down Scott's pool slide.

Darrian comes down the slide then swims back to me.

Geeze doesn't anyone get sick of the slide, I should talk, I love it.

A day at the pool part 2

Damian climbing rock wall at Scott's Pool HI. The clip is shaky at the beginning, but the ending is fine.

Summer....hurray!

Tomorrow is the last day of school before summer break. I can't wait. On Thursday I will start enjoying my favorite thing. Packing up my cooler, sitting by the pool, and reading all day. Even exercise will be fun. Me and the kids always race laps up and down the pool until we are exhausted. Then we dry off and continue to laze around. Thanks to the crock pot I go home to a meal already cooked. It doesn't get any better than this. What are your summer plans?

Graduation day

Where's Waldo?
