Flight School

Wednesday this week was Family Day. We got to look at a lot of helicopters and sit in the Black Hawk. It was a lot of fun to see what Jake was doing all day. Here are some pics of Family Day.

In the Black Hawk.

James NOT being a good boy.


And here are some pics from the actual Graduation on Thursday.

Jake was doing a balancing act, for sure!

Jake with his family.

And Jake with his very proud parents.


It has been a VERY eventful week. Having Jake's parents in town has been wonderful. James absolutely just adores his grandpa. Jake and his father have gone golfing and are just spending quality time together. Anywho... this is another chapter of our military journey that will come to a close soon. But now I have a PILOT as a husband. HA! AWESOME!!

Really??

We have had QUITE the past few days. Lets start with Sunday...

Sunday - church was going fine. My lesson went ok, Sam was ok, and James was happy in Nursery. Halfway thru Primary, Jake comes in with both the kids, gives me Sam, and says "James got kicked out of Nursery". WHAT! MY kid got kicked out of NURSERY? Apparently, he got kicked out for kicking and hitting. Not unusual, just normally doesn't do it at church! But a girl who was in there said he did it because another kid bit him. Ok.. so I guess he was defending himself. I dont really know if I should get MAD at that.

Monday - we had our friends, the Holbrooks, over because they were leaving Fort Rucker. The mom, Chelsey, turned around and knocked James over (he doesnt have the BEST balance). So he accidently hit the brick wall and scraped his nose and knee. He was fine after some love.

Tuesday - didnt fall asleep during his nap time. And after almost 2 hours, I go in there... his hands are black. What is it? He had POOPED! And he put his HANDS in it! There was a small spot on his upper lip, on his knee, and all over BOTH hands! ARG! Really??? So we washed HIM and EVERYTHING in his bed!

Anywho... we have had fun with the kids lately. I love having Jake home more and doing things with him. James is talking more, better, and putting words together. Sam is trying hard to sit up alone and roll over. He also coo's ALL the time. Just non stop! I am trying to figure out what I can do to get ready for Korea. But thats about it. Enjoy the post!

flight school? COMPLETE

FINALLY.. jake finished flight school! that does NOT mean we are done with ft rucker though. he still has a short school to complete in april. no biggy. we will be out of here in may. but jake did great. i am beyond proud of him and everything that he has accomplished while here. he is an amazing pilot and is super smart. he knows everything that he needs to and this is what he wants! we will be heading to NV and UT in may and will leave for Korea in june. hopefully, we will be able to go at the same time. who knows...

james has a cold right now. alabama weather does NOT go well with him. he gets sick here all the time. cant wait to see what happens overseas. but he loves to color and he is starting to figure out more shapes, colors, words, and FOOD.

sam is huge. hahaha. he grabs for things, found his feet, coo's all the time, and is a happy baby. now i gotta figure out how to get him sleeping thru the night!

i am well.. tired, stressed, and just going day by day. but that is about it. enjoy the pics.
