Air Show

We went to the airshow this month. Matt had to work at the airshow so we just showed up. He got to spend quite a bit of time with us. We just had to make stops so he could check on his students. Here are some pictures.

Eat BEFORE you go to an event that charges 8 bucks for a hamburger!

Free stuff is cool! Even if they are star shaped sun glasses!!

Dressing up like a soldier is cool too!

Unless the gear weighs more than you do!

OOO Race car!!
It's always fun to get on an airplane!
Dad thinks he is THE MAN.
There is the Princess!
I think that Camelbak is bigger than Tristen.

Happy Halloween!

The Saturday before Halloween, we took the kids to the Halloween VIP night at the gym that I belong to. We dressed them up in their costumes and dropped them off at 6pm and we didn't have to pick them up until 11pm. So we went out on a date!!

We went to the Riverwalk. We had a good time at Ripley's Haunted Adventure, Guinness World Record Museum and Tomb Rider 3D. Then we walked around for a bit before heading back to get the kids.

They had a great time. They had a haunted house, moon bounce, trunk or treat and best of all, Breanna won the Costume Contest!



The kids carved their own pumpkins with a little help from Dad. (L: Austin, M: Tristen, R: Breanna)


Matt took the kids Trick-or-Treating while I stayed home to hand out candy. We didnt get as many kids as we thought we would. But I did get a couple of dogs that enjoyed some doggy treats lol. The kids went around 2 blocks and had to dump their bags. People were handing out candy by the handfuls. I have to admit, I started handing out two handfulls of candy towards the end and we still have some left over. Anyone want some gummy eyeballs, or other gummy body parts? We have plenty!

Update: A year later

So it has been over a year since I wrote to this blog. My Papa pointed out that people do still check it and I should be posting. So, here we are again. A quick rundown of what has happened over the past year...

We moved to San Antonio, Texas. Matt is now stationed at Lackland AFB and he is a Non-Lethal Weapons Instructor. He teaches the Navy guys at the Master At Arms school. He really likes his new job.

We bought a house. It was built in February. We signed on it the day after Matt's birthday. Happy Birthday Matt! HAHA. It's a two story, 3 bedroom with a gameroom. We love the fact that we have our own fenced in yard.

We bought a dog. Well if you want to call it a dog. It is a chihuahua/terrier. His name is Peanut. And although he was for the family....he's MY dog. Right now he is still being potty trained...ugh. But he knows how to play fetch lol.

We bought another car. Matt got a 2004 Mazda 6. We got a great price on it. Oh yeah, and the guy at the dealer ship that sold it to us was a Retired Navy Senior Chief! GO NAVY!

The kids are going to a school that was just built this summer. It's nice! Breanna is in Kindergarten again. Which is ok, because she was the youngest kid in her class and since her birthday was in July, she didnt really have to start the year we started her. Austin is in 4th Grade. He's having a great time. Im on the PTA as the Council Delegate and the Communications Chair. Tristen is going to speech therapy at the school twice a week.

I've got a new hobby. Im doing Genealogy research on my family. Im really enjoying it. Right now Im working on my Mom's side of the family.

My sister joined the Navy and she leaves in October for boot camp. We are all proud of her but we are going to miss her lots. I just had a visit with her over Labor Day weekend. She and I went to Oklahoma to visit our Grandparents. We had a great time with Papa and his stories about growing up. Sarah and I had no idea that he was living in the house that he was raised in. Why did we not know that? We also had a great time with Grammers at the Casino and of course our new favorite wine that is unfortunately local to her area, so we can only have it when we visit haha.

Well thats about it for now. Hopefully not for so long this time.
