Fun with MOLLY!

Kalan Didn't like the sand on his feet like everyone else did!
My friend Molly, originally from Canada, is my friend from Ft. Sill. Her husband, John, was in Dennis' old unit and was unlucky enough to deploy with them to Africa a week or so ago. Since it is going to be such a long deployment and he's going to be finished with the Army when they get back, she's going back home to Canada. She drove all over the coast to hit friends and family on her way home and we were one of the lucky ones who got to see her!! She got here Saturday evening and is leaving this morning, but it was sooo great to see her! We had loads of fun. Kaiden and Molly got to "build castles" and got some shells, and even got water on their feet!! Kaiden also discovered why not to throw sand in the air when it's windy, because it comes right back into your face!! LOL! But Molly was saying how theraputic it was to go to the beach and dig your feet in the sand, and she was sooo right!! I love it! Molly ROCKS!

Kalan Walking (Much Better)

The Zoo!

Kalan didn't really care much about the animals, he was just enjoying being outside, he LOVES the outdoors

The Peacock and Bear were the 2 most interesting animals in the whole adventure

So, I saw my friend Jessi had taken a trip to the zoo and that sparked an idea for us to go today!! Ours is free and small, but Kaiden loved it. Here's some pics! It's funny because most of the animals were ducks??!! And there is a duck museum right down the way!! LOL! The pics are really icky because I had to use my phone. Stinkin camera really wasn't cooperating today, so I'm sad!! But the kids had a blast. We had a little picnic of lunch before and then we went about our adventure. Kaiden was just running to and from all of the exhibits, and by the end everyone was exhausted!!

Momma's Day

Just had to hop on amongst the finals week insanity and BRAG!! My DH and darling babies got me a pearl set!! REAL PEARLS!! Got a necklace and some dangly earrings!! WOOHOO!!

I Have GREAT Friends!

My mom's group is full of amazing, amazing ladies. They have been a real solid bunch of wonderful women who have been there for me to lean on and also to celebrate with. I'm so ecstatic right now and grateful for them, because Penny, friend from the group, is having a party in MY honor!! She is celebrating my finally finishing my pre-reqs and GETTING INTO NURSING SCHOOL!!! WOOHOO! Is that not the sweetest thing you've ever heard??!! She emailed me about it the other day. She's sooooo sweet! I LOVE HER TO PIECES!!

The Bug Life

Kaiden has discovered bugs, well Caterpillars. He tells my they shall be butterflies someday! MY LITTLE GENIUS!!

Kalan Walking

Kalan has been walking since April 11th, but only a few steps here and there. But this week he has really been walking it up!! He's starting to do it lots more and as a way to get around instead of crawling all the time. He's still wobbly, but for the most part he goes perty far. I can't wait till he's all around!! HAHA! Did I just say that?? Ask me again when it happens!! LOL!
