Videos of our Munchkins

These are just some little videos of each of the kids for fun -- to show what they are doing these days... (Mostly for Grandparents' sakes)... :) Sorry for the sound quality on some of them, but hopefully they work well enough...

(Don't mind the silly mood this girl was in... She tends to get that way in front of the camera or in front of other people)... :)

Summer Bash

The base just had it's yearly "Summer Bash", as they call it... Lots of fun things for the kids to play on, and neat stands to look at, and cool airplanes to walk through... It was fun! (Although a bit too hot for me these days...) :) Anyway, we were all able to go together as a family for the afternoon, and it was a fun little outing...

A Boy For Sure!

Well, I just had another ultra-sound done at my appointment this week to try and confirm for sure that this baby really is a boy, since the doctor wasn't 100% last time. And he was definitely much more cooperative this time -- it's definitely a boy! :) So it's for sure now -- Samuel gets to have a brother! We are very excited!! And he's still measuring right for the due date (Sep. 29) -- can't believe how fast it's coming... Now if we could just figure out this name business & actually agree on one! Boys' names are so much harder for us to pick for some reason...

(This is kind of a double-shot picture here -- the left side is his face & the right side, either his arms or legs, I think -- I can't remember for sure! I never will get used to these ultra-sound pictures, I guess)... :)

Other Fun July Pictures...

Samuel wrote his name all by himself for the first time!

Colette -- always in dress-up mode! Our funny little cutie...

Summer swimming -- at the housing pool here on base -- the kids were very excited about these new goggles and floating devices we just got that day!

"Wicked"!

I had my first little get-away from the kids by myself to go and see the play, "Wicked" with my mom & sisters!! It was AWESOME!! That is an awesome play & it was tons of fun to get to spend time with the girls! Jared & the kids survived just fine while I was gone... :) It was fun for them to get to spend that time with their Daddy!

Our Fun 4th of July!

We ended up having tons of fun for 4th of July this year with our AWESOME family who decided to come and visit us!! Mike & Casslyn, Tyler, Reagan, & Graham! We were all so excited to get to have them come, and it was a very fun weekend we got to spend together. I just love how the kids are such buddies with their cousins -- they have a blast together! We went to the big city 4th of July celebration on that Saturday, and the kids just love getting to ride on the big bus that shuttles us over, and of course the big fireworks show at the end of the night! Some classic faces for the fireworks by the kids in these last two pictures here.... :)

Samuel in Soccer

Samuel is doing "Start Smart" soccer right now, and LOVING it! The best part about it this time is that it's on Saturdays, so his Daddy gets to go with him every week, and help him with his soccer skills! (He just loves doing it with Jared)... It sure is a fun little program that they offer here at our Youth Center, and Samuel always impresses us with his sports abilities!
