Is it Spring yet?

It has been too long since my last post. The kids, work, school, and Ryan keep me busy. The kids are growing up too fast, and I am trying to enjoy every minute of it. Alexas will be 9 years old soon, and she is such a little lady!



Landon is my big 3 year old man! He weighs about 35lbs and is a little over 3 feet tall. He is all boy and into everything. He loves to play ball and play with his Woody and Buzz.



We went to Snow Mountain for Winter Break, and the kids a blast!! It was not at all cold that day, was in the low 70's and we were actually sweating playing in the snow.


Ryan will be headed to Jacksonville in the next few weeks to swear in a member of the National Guard, and become an officer candidate. It is something he really wants to do, and he is very excited but nervous. I am nervous about it, but know that it is what he wants to do.

I will be finishing up with my Specialist degree in July, and am looking forward to being done with school for good!

Until next time...

I love my kids!!

My kids are hilarious these days! Landon talks all the time, and loves to put on a show. He loves to dance, and sing, and play monster. Lexi talks non-stop about her boyfriend Ray, who she says she is going to marry. (Poor Ray doesn't even get an opinion on this one!)

This week has been busy, but fun so far. Friday we are headed to SC to visit friends and spend the 4th at Parris Island. I love spending the 4th there!! My hubby was a Marine that was trained at PI, so it is cool for our kids to see what he went through in boot camp.

Happy everyone has a Happy and Safe 4th!
