4th Of July, Alabama Style

So for the 4th of July celebrations we began our "party" Friday night at Fort Rucker's Freedom Fest, it was alot of fun, for those in Utah its a big carnival this year was huge, they have all sorts of vendors (Yes, I was pissed i didnt set up an efusjon stand) and a kid zone with lots of jumpy's as attley calls them, helicopter rides, train rides, live bands, static displays (EVERY helicopter they fly here was on display and this year you could get up in all of them including the Apache) and of course... FIREWORKS!!!
There was a Huge mishap at the firework show, we saw it clearly (as we watched from the roof of the durango) not Quite sure what went wrong but 4-5 fireworks blew up on the ground, one shot into a crowded parking lot where some folks were sitting apparently 7 people were injured but they were all minor injuries!! Thank goodness!
On Saturday, we went down to Grayton Beach, FL which is a tiny secluded community the Bown's showed us a month or so again and we spent our Independence day lying on the gulf of Mexico, picnic on the beach, body surfing and relaxing!!!


Jared had brought a little body board and ashtyn learned how to use it and also how to body surf without the board, she had a blast and we couldnt keep her out of the water. Attley doesnt care much for salt water and the waves but LOVES the sand she usually spends her time playing on the beach with mommy, I am not sure what she was doing but at one point in time she used her head as a kickstand and was playing with the sand while in a half headstand, it was VERY interesting, I took pix to document her unique balance!





All in all it was a great holiday weekend on Saturday night we all snuggled into a bed and watched the HUGE firework display in New York on TV... the girls were too pooped to do much more!!!

sorry its been awhile....

Okay okay, so i'm horrible at blogging, since the last post we have successfully completed a trip to salt lake, in which ashtyn joined her grandma and cousins in disneyland (see below pix)

and have returned to the deep southern heat for ashtyn's bday party...
In utah I made the investment into the Efusjon Energy club, was a little skeptical at first but am amazed how in 2 short weeks I already got a paycheck and now a month into it i have 25 distributors underneath me, 13 which are community overlap in which i had nothing to do with... ITS amazing... by august i should have a check big enough to supplement my income i was making with Advantage in Utah.. THATS AMAZING in just 60 days :)

Also, we have been very busy with the kids, i'm now officially a "flight school widow" because jared has started the advanced airframe course for the Apache longbow... his hours are crazy, he has to be at the flightline by 5am each morning gets about 30 min for lunch (he doesnt make it home) and then gets out of class around 3pm to which he needs to go to the library and study until about 6pm.....
When he walks in the door he says hi to his little girls, eats dinner, then goes to the office to study some more until he goes to bed at 9pm... SO BASICALLY i see jared from 6-7pm... THESE KIDS are enough to drive me nuts!!! Thank goodness for a 3 day weekend coming up this weekend!
Mike graduated from blackhawk course, this is the girls saying congrats!

Belly getting big as heck, 10 weeks and counting... WOW can u believe it, i have started setting up and decorating the nursery i will post pix when that is complete, we have moved attley into the bunk bed in ashtyn room, she thinks this is pretty cool and getting to sleep at night has now become more of a challenge as the girls like to giggle and talk...

This weekend we are going to do a day trip down to Destin or Panama city beach, now that i have invested in a camera i will be sure to stay up on blogs and pictures for you all!!!

We miss you tons everybody and will be back in october for a visit and hopefully back in nov/dec for good :)
