Dancing Boy

This child never seems to fail me when it comes to laughs! He's a goofball and loves to dance- he has way better moves than I do! We checked out this cute CD from the library from the movie Cars- he loved it!

Aunt Donkey, Doggy, Dummy

I love this video that I took of my friend Morgan and Crue. It was so funny to hear all the funny names he had for her- I laugh out loud every time I see it!

6 More Years

So here I am taking the Oath of Re Enlistment. That's right another six years. My soldiers have always told me that I bleed green, and I guess that they were right. This picture is actually the last picture that was taken of me next to my MRAP. As a matter of fact it is the last time that I will have had my picture taken at my FOB. Thank you all for your support, and I cannot wait to see you all again.

Central Michigan Football Game

Matt's unit was chosen to be Central Michigan's Adopted unit (or something like that- Matt always talks in military speak, so I can't understand). We got to go to one of the games (which happended to be biggest game of the season, and the coldest!)and see D-1 school Central play Ball State. It was a great game, and 14th ranked Ball State should have killed Central, but they held on until the last minute- and threw an interception to lose- but it was still a good game! Crue was a little chilly, but I made him go because Matt made a video and they showed it on the big screen. It was so cool to see him, but we didn't know when his video would be shown, so we had to be ready every time. Well, of course, the one time I wasn't ready, there was Matt! We tried to get it on video tape- but missed it. I even had my professional photorapher sister-in-law waiting with my camera to get a pic- but she didn't get it either! So we had a couple other pics of the fun night with Matt's and my family all freezing our butts off! (the one of the scoreboard is the one that should have Matt on it!)

BTW- yes, Crue is wearing Matt's neck gator from the Army- that goes to show just how small Matt's head is and how big Crue's head is!

First Snow

The dogs love to play in the snow as much as Crue does!

What a goofball!

Too cute!

Trying to get that pesky chunk of snow. He loves to eat the snow- just like his daddy- go figure!

Is it possible for a 2 year old to have such a big attitude?

Combine Ride

Crue got to go to his friend Logan's farm and ride with his grandpa on the combine. He loves tractors, so he was in heaven. We watched the corn get scooped up by the little arms, and then see the finished product (just the corn kernels) pour into the grain trailers. I learned a lot too because I'm not a farm girl- it was a lot of fun! Crue and Logan especially liked playing with the empty corn ears in the field!
