Three More Weeks!!

Hey all! Just letting everyone know...only 3 more weeks until Steven is home!!! He will be coming in Friday, August 17th at 10:55pm. So late but it's okay I will just take a nap. I am so excited I want to jump out of my skin. I can't imagin how excited I will be when he comes home for good!!!! He will be here from Friday, the 17th until Tuesday, the 21st. It is not very long but in the Army we take what we can get:). We will hopefully be having a BBQ for everyone the next day so that everyone can see him. I don't think everyone wants to be up until midnight picking him up. I will post more as I know it!!

Mom is another year OLDER!

Mom had yet another birthday on July 10th. She turned 52!!! Wow 8 years and she will be 60. That next weekend we had a little birthday celebration for her. Everyone but Steven and James were there. We went to Hong Fong and then back to the house for some weird kind of cake that Grandma made Mom. I didn't eat any but I heard it was good. Here is a picture of the fun!

Blaine's First MOVIE!!

Today Gretchen and I took Blaine to go see a movie. It was a children's movie Ratatouille about a rat that can cook awesomely!! Well since this was Blaine's first movie we did not know what to expect but he was GREAT!! He did not cry, talk to much, whine, it was good and he was so entertained. He sat with me for most of the movie eating Cheetos (his favorite snack) and drinking juice. He is such a wonderful little boy and I love him so much. My sister also changed his room into a "big boy" room. His theme is "transportation". He is growing up so fast and can do so much already. It's like he is learning something new everyday. Steven, you will be so shocked by how big and smart he is! In this picture he is doing his new "cheesy smile" I can't stand it but it is so cute too. He is such a crazy man!

It's been awhile!

Hey all! It's been awhile. Things have been so busy lately with school and work and life! I go to school everyday from 7:30-10:45 and then I work on Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sat. I am so tired and can't wait for school to be over. Only 3 more weeks. I can do anything for 3 weeks right? Well, Steven is coming in (tent) from August 17th to the 22nd. That will be so nice to see him again. I miss him a lot and I know he is homesick. We will have a good, restful time together. It has been raining A LOT this summer. When it rains it pours! Hope everyone is having a good summer.

Tuesdays with Blaine

Hey there all! Well this next five weeks will be crazy, long, busy weeks! I am taking two classes this semester on multiracial children and they will be packed. But before I started school I spent my Tuesday with Blaine. Although these pictures aren't the best they still make me smile! I love this little boy and he keeps me going when I feel lonely. Steven will have some competition when he comes home because this little guy is getting very attached to me!

My rainy weekend at the Lake

Well to get away for awhile from the normal I was invited to go to the lake with my future in-laws. As you know it has been raining in San Antonio for a month or more. So on Friday night I left the house at about 5:30 after work and it was raining all the way to Mathis, TX. Once I got there it finally stopped. I got there late and so we didn't get in the water or anything. All day on Saturday it rained!! I got in the water once and had a fun time on the jet ski and a water thingy I rode with Frank. It was a good time and I can't wait to go again next year with Steven and make it a real family vacation.
