A Long and Fun Afternoon

Samantha and Carly played in their little pool for hours having a blast "pretending to be snorkeling" and searching for ocean creatures at the bottom of the sea. Then they came in to play some Ratatouille on the gamecube and as Carly watched her sister, she crashed.

Corbin and his best bud Zack (our other "son") at the fair. Aren't they gorgeous? Don't have to tell ya we had to beat the girls off with a stick....

Katie's 8th Birthday

Katie celebrated her 8th birthday on this past Friday. We went as a family to the Fort Bragg Fair and rode lots of awesome rides! Katie also went "skydiving" on the slide for life. She rode the scariest rides at the fair and I even got to ride one with her this year! We chose to ride the roller coaster that went upside down forward and backward! It was a blast! Katie picked the Little Mermaid theme for her cake and we had to have that the next day because all the kids passed out in the car on the way home. Katie got a new outfit, a tinkerbell umbrella, a posh puppy (shown in picture) a new pair of shoes and a new bookbag!

The Slide for life-Carly

This is Carly at the fair on Katie's birthday doing the slide for life that the military hosts. She was so brave and she earned her wings!

Dad, here are the pictures you asked for of the house a while back. It just took me some time to finally download them. Don't forget to send a pic of Roxy! We love you!

Update: Corbin got his gradcard and impressed us once again with his consistency in earning all B's and 2 C's. Corbin is looking forward to High School and being on the Raiders team which is like ROTC for high school kids (being in the Army) and competing in very physically demanding events. Corbin's brother (best bud) Zack just spent the last 4 days with us and Corbin went to Zack's Best Raiders Competition to support him.

I have a new job. I am working with my husband as a school bus driver! YAY ME! Right now I am a monitor on the bus for the handicap and I am just in luv with a little boy named Sam who is Autistic and has the brightest smile in the world. He just makes my day! Carly get's to go to work with Mommy and Daddy now and she get's to ride the bus too! We take turns between the morning and the afternoon shift so she gets to go on different routes. There is a little boy named Jake who is in luv with Carly and just loves to touch her hair and is so happy when she rides on Daddy's bus.

Things are looking good in the south here and it's warm already. Last week was in the high 80s this week mid 80's. Can't get any better than that. Hope this finds everyone happy and well.
