Wrestling.

Parker started Wrestling last week. I forgot how much I love this sport!! Parker is having so much fun. He hates leaving practice. Here are a few video clips I took of him during practice.

The coaches have promised to teach him all they know and Parker is eager to learn.

I think this is going to be an awesome sport for Parker!! win or lose we are going to have alot of fun.

Slumber party...... why do I do this you ask?!

Opening gifts

Pretty glasses

The goodies

For the smile it brings to those little faces when they can just let loose and be wild and crazy kids. I dont like for the kids to sleep at others houses but I will invite all their besties to come ravage my house. Tonight I have 6 screaming girls running around. We play games, eat junk, pillow fights, stay up late and even bring out the pretty glasses to make them feel special. Tonight we are having apple cider. YUMMY!! Poor Parker has locked himself up in my room to stay away from the girls. His "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" sign is taped up on the door.

All the girls will leave early in the morning, then we are off to church for a little peace. :)

P.S. We miss you Trav!!

Kuwait

Trav sent me a few pics from Kuwait...... here they are.

This one came out small.....

He is no longer in Kuwait and I am waiting on pics. I will share them when I have them.

Happy Birthday Sarriah.

Deployed

No one looks beautiful when they wake up at 4 am

Daddy in uniform.

Yup that's right everybody, Trav has deployed :( . He will be gone for the next 12 months.

When we dropped him off Parker got very upset that his daddy didn't get a machine gun, or missiles. Sarriah came home and started writing letters. The stack is getting crazy. Both the kids are doing really well. Not a single tear. I wish I could say the same for me but I have a very active water works! We are so proud of him.

We are a strong family and we will make it through this year without a hitch.

Its just crazy to spend so much time apart.

We are so THANKFUL for SKYPE!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone wants to keep in touch with Trav while he is gone please let me know and I can get you his info. They can get pretty bored over there.

Support our troops!!!!!! HOOAH :)

We went to Wurzberg with all the guys and girls from Trav's shop.

We came here a long time ago. Once on our own and once with Steve and Laura.

This city is HUGE!!!!!!!!!

It was fun getting to know the other wives, and the guys Trav will be down range with.

New addition

We picked out this cute little guy for an early Christmas present for tthe kids.

His name is Patches Bob!

Donuts for deploying soldiers.

I helped the PTSA put on a donuts for deploying soldiers at the school.

It gave all the parenst who are getting ready to deploy a chance to come hang out

with their kids, walk the school, and sit in the class rooms.

This year we had to stay home because the FLU fairy came to visit Parker, so we had our own little party here at home. Costumes included!

We carved pumkins, ate lots of candy, made cookies, and pizza, watched movies, and cuddled up on the couch.
