Our Crazy Life.....

So sorry... it's been almost 3 months since I posted. I'm so far behind I just keep putting it off because there's so much to catch up on! I guess I'll start with our trip to Disney World the end of August. That was skipping a bit of time, but I can't remember what happened in between!

My mom and dad took Dylan and Skyler a week ahead to show them some sites and spend time swimming at the resort. Skyler was a pro by the time Jerr, Vannah and I got down there. It was Savannah's first plane ride and she did great! She fell asleep part way through the flight each time so her ears didn't bother her. We went to Magic Kingdom twice, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot and Sea World. I'll try to minimize the pictures... I think I took 300. Needless to say Jerr and I were ready for a vacation FROM our vacation!

We're on our way to Disney World!


M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!


Epcot


Animal Kingdom (it was very bright that day!)


Sea World

Ariel is Savannahs favorite!


....and Cinderella!


We took Vannah to Cocoa Beach on the last day. Jerrs message got washed away about 5 seconds later...


The boys started school the day after we got back on August 13. Skyler is now a 1st grader and Dylan a 5th grader. They are growing so fast!


Before Jerr deployed we celebrated Dylan's 11th birthday at Dave & Buster's (a grown up Chuck E. Cheese). It's hard to say who played more games... the kids or adults! Everybody walked away with prizes so that's the fun part! Dylan loves video games and would rather play them than eat or sleep... well, sleep anyway. I suprised him with a PSP cake. He liked it and it tasted great!


Dylans cousins he hadn't seen in 18 months. They had grown! The girl on the left is 14 months older than Dylan and she's now 2 1/2 inches taller than me!


We got a dog on the 5th. My SIL aquired a dog that someone dumped so she got him all "fixed" up and brought him to us. He is such a sweet dog. I know he's good when Jett can hang on him and tackle him and the dog doesn't mind. He also loves to get up on the trampoline with the kids!

Savannah started pre-school on Sept. 11. She goes MWF in the mornings. I wish it were longer, but it's a start! I feel so free with just 1 kid part of the time.


The fire truck came to visit


They got to take their bikes to school to ride


While they were riding this beauty flew over and Jett yells "DADDY!" (I wish)


Skyler and Dylan are playing soccer. I'm coaching Skylers team again. It's a little different than this summer, but we're getting the hang of it. We had our first game last week and we won... (they don't really keep score, but we won). Dylan had two games and was worn out! He's not used to running that much (remember the video games?) We're supposed to have team pictures and games tomorrow if the rain goes away. I feel bad I don't have pics of soccer, but that's hard when I'm coaching and Dylan plays at the same time. Maybe I can get someone else to take them for me.

We went to family day at the base. Would have been much more fun if our whole family was there. The highlight of the day was the boys getting to see Star Wars characters!




Skyler is in Cub Scouts and Dylan is a Boy Scout now! They are having a great time already and I expect to see a lot of changes in them this year.

Waiting for pics at Wal-Mart... he's too cute!



As of today Jerr has 9 days till he gets back. I'm sure ready.. the kids are getting tired of me! Hope this wasn't too many pictures. I tried to consolidate! Thanks for checking in on us!
