Girlies

Just a quick update on the girlies:




Morgan is absolutely loving school. She loves all of her new friends and she comes home with lots of stories and information that she overloads us with :) Just ask Aunt Jenny~ Jenny and her friends learned all about Noah!

Morgan has also figured out how to dive!


Camryn is enjoying having some quality alone time with me and RJ while Morgan is at school. She talks a whole lot more when big sis isn't around...and she is able to love on little brother all by herself! She is definitely loving being a big sister.

Junior

It's official...my little baby boy is on the move! He has been trying to scoot for the last couple of weeks. 4 days ago he figured out how to scoot backwards ~ which got him into all sorts of trouble. He got stuck underneath the coffee table and the dining room chairs.


Last night he gave one good push and that was it...he was army crawling across the floor! I grabbed Ryan's phone and took a quick video. Enjoy!

Just in case you didn't see it...

I asked the girls to entertain RJ while I finished dinner...

Descriptions

As the kids get older, their personalities really start to shine through. I think they're giving us a taste of what life will be like in the future...


"the performer"

Morgan is constantly singing and/or dancing around the house. She just might be our next American Idol.

"the rebel"


Camryn is always getting into something. It is never anything dangerous; it is just something she knows she shouldn't be doing or playing with. I believe she is really going to give us a run for our money as she gets older.

"the flirt/ladies man"


RJ is probably the happiest baby I have ever met. He is usually all smiles...especially when a pretty girl comes his way.

Morgan's 1st Day

Our Morgan started preschool last week! In preparation for the big day I took the girls shopping to pick out a new outfit...Morgan of course picked a pink dress and a new pair of shoes (just like her mama) Camryn picked a purple dress and a new shoes (yes!) My poor little man was along for the ride...


She was so excited and so ready for the big day.





RJ, Camryn, and I picked her up after a long 3 hours without her. I asked how her day was and she replied "I want to go to school everyday. I love it. I really, really wish I could go all the time." I replied, "but we will miss you if you are gone everyday...Camryn and RJ were looking for you all day." Morgan calmly said, "but mommy, it'll be fine...I will only be gone for a little bit."

My husband, the F16 pilot

I know that it's been a really long time since we've last updated the blog...I have lots of news to share, just not enough time to share it all. Over the next few days I'll try and get all of the new info to you.


Ryan had his first solo flight in the F16 this morning. I was able to take the kids down to the flight line and get tons of pictures. We are so proud of him!!








Here is a link to the album...there are tons of pictures!
