Happy Mother's Day!


Happy belated mother's day to all my friends out there! Ryan and Cody brought home plants for me then I got another one at church. Now if I can keep them alive! Every mother's day I love for the kids to get up and sing in church. It is so cute and fun for them get all arranged just long enough to get out a short song about mothers then rush back to their seats excited that they did it! This year was even more special becuase the one thing I thought would never happen did. After all the kids had gone up, Cody grabbed my hand and said come. I followed him up and sat beside him trying to duck down behind all the kids and he sang as best as he could. It wasn't really words except when they said mom, but he did it and that was very special to me. When he was done he gave me a big hug and said I did it! After church we went to a friend's house and had a nice dinner in the beautiful sunshine! All of the kids played and had a good time. It was nice to sit and relax and just talk to the adults there. I couldn't really ask for more on Mother's day.

Our new house


I don't have the keys yet, but they say next week they will be calling to sign paperwork. After that I set up movers and hopefully by the end of the month we willl have the move done! The fences are up because they have an area dug to put a sidewalk all the way around and they are moving pretty quick on that. It will be so nice to have a garage, back yard and more room!

Cody's second soccer season!




Cody is just so darn cute I could not pass up putting several pictures on! The weather was beautiful and Cody just had his haircut which made the pictutes even better. He loves soccer and has gotten used to the cleats and socks with shin guards. He is doing much better this year and I know it's because he has beeing in preschool and learned to be okay with other kids around that are his size. Now if we could just get him to share that ball!

Finally Zach gets his chance!!



Every deployment Zach never has anyone interesting to meet or the one time he missed out seeing Robin Williams by a few weeks. So being the big NASCAR fan he is, he was very happy to meet Jeremy Mayfield this week. He has autographs from other drivers so now can add this one to the collection!
