The new dog, Jax!

We gave Jax a soccer ball today to see what he would do! He is a natural, him and Brandon played outside for hours practicing their skills!

Holy Crap!!! Six Already!!!!!

Yep it is here, Brandon turned 6 on the 7th! I can't believe he is 6 already, I swear I can remember the day he was born very vividly, like it was yesterday. It really doesn't take long for your babies to grow up! He is in a 1st/2nd grade class and excelling to say the least in that! Earlier today he was doing multiplication and division problems that are at a 3rd grade level. I am excited that he is learning so fast but a little skeptical because that means he is no longer my baby! And before I know it he will be having sleep overs and not needing his Mama! Tear :( But I guess that is all part of growing up!!!

The new bike Amma & Papa & Nana & Pop bought! Thanks guys!




Cake from Ralphs, pretty good huh?

Brandon's Soccer

Brandon has been playing soccer for the past few months and absolutely loves it! Although he seems to be a bit shy at first as the game goes on he gets better. It is almost like I need to bring him really early so he can get into the right mind set so by the time the game starts he is ready to go! He is really good at throw ins, free kicks & dribbling! His last game was Sat, here are a few pictures of him doing his best!!!!!

Trick or Treat!!!

We went trick or treating right here on base and it turned out to be a lot of fun. We ended up meeting up with a few of the neighbors and the kids had a blast. It took a few houses for Brandon to get into it but by the end of the night he and the little boy in the Dragon costume were racing each other to every house! Brandon was even a great big brother and took his sister up to a few houses, unfortunately she didn't last long. (I brought the stroller along just for that reason!!)

The best part about the whole night was a few houses not only had treats for the kids but they also had special treats for the adults, you know, adult beverages!Yeah Buddy! One of the houses had warm apple cider with rum, it was so nice because it kept you warm while the kids ran around, another had this really good punch with rum! I think this is a really good idea and should be carried out every year. HAHA!

New Pooch!

 

WE GOT A NEW DOG!!!!

A guy that Dave works with was getting rid of his Boxer because he was moving into a small apartment. Dave, of course, jump on the opportunity to get a free Boxer, he has been wanting a one for years. Being the loving wife that I am, I said it would be ok.

Jax is his name and has turned out to be great!! He is very well behaved, sits when you tell him to sit, lays down on command, does ALL his business outside & doesn't get up on the furniture! Oh yeah, most importantly he is absolutely GREAT with the kids. Isa can touch, poke & prod anywhere on him and he just takes it! AWESOME!

I think we really lucked out, the people that had him before took real good care of him. He is all up to date on shots, has been micro-chipped and they even paid for a trainer to come to their house for 2 months!
