Snow Day

Our first huge snowstorm of 2009. 8 days later we still have snow on the ground. Ryan loves to shovel and Ethan loves to play!

Ethan and Ryan December 2009

Our boys this winter. Ethan turned 10 and is letting his hair grow. It is driving me crazy but he loves it. Ryan loves taekwondo. He got 3 stripes and is prepping to test for his orange belt. I am sure that him and Ethan will get their belts no problem.

Christmas in Kansas 2009

Even though we are going to Cincinnati this Christmas I thought that I should bring some Christmas spirit into the house. It was hard to do but I did it for the boys. I gave away my old Christmas tree last year so on black Friday I bought this little tree at Target. I finally found our stockings that I had bought at Disney World last year. I had to include the Christmas Elf (Brett's favorite). He watches over us at Christmas time. Honestly, I can not wait to get back from Cincinnati so that I can take it down. yay for 2010, My husband comes home this year!

Louisiana Santa Train

While we were in LA we got to visit the Santa Train. It was really neat because we got to tour the inside. There was an old train set up and Santa was there. The train was very pretty and the boys loved it and always looked forward to the Santa Train every year.

December 2004

December 2004 was a great Christmas at Ft. Polk. I believe that everyone got exactly what they wanted. Christopher was very into paintball that year and he got it all. Ryan was 3 and Ethan was 4.

Halloween 2009

Ryan was a scary pirate and Ethan was a crazy person from a mental hospital this year for halloween. I let them go kind of scary this year. They always want to be scary but I never let them until now. We had a lot of fun this Halloween. We went to a pumpkin patch called Munson Farms and trick or treating in Aggieville and then on Halloween night we went to Sonic with friends and then trick or treating around our neighborhood. We had a lot of fun! We missed Brett though!

Pumpkin Patch 2008 Kansas

This was Brett's first time at a pumpkin patch in Kansas. He was deployed the year before and the boys and I could not wait to take him to one. We had a great day. The weather was beautiful. It was so nice and wonderful to be together again!

Halloweens of Long Ago

Halloween is on of my favorite times of the year. Our boys have been many characters through the years. It is alot of fun to look back, so enjoy!
