Atlanta Aquarium Trip!!!

A couple of weeks ago we headed to Atlanta for a family trip. We had a wonderful time hanging out and spending time together. The kids had a blast...except for the fact that they think we tried to starve them while we were there :) We refused to feed them at the food court and they were most definitely starving by the time we left!!!!

Just A Quick Update...

Well we are one week and 2 days away from saying goodbye. Yep it is almost time to say goodbye to the love of my life. Time has flown by. I will post pictures of all our adventures after he has gone. For now we are all enjoying our last days together as much as possible. We now know that he won't be able to return home until block leave before the deployment which will be sometime in June/early July. As JT says not a big deal just another deployment...we will be ok. He is trying so hard to be strong but I know he is hurting like never before. Savannah well she has been sleeping with us and snuggling her dad every night for the last week and wakes up every morning and counts down the days. Jake...well he really has NO clue. I just wanted to let you all know that we are all still here, just trying to spend lots of family time together and spend quality time before the fun begins.

On Sunday we went off to the airshow! It was a great time but most definitely next year I am packing chairs, camelbacks and everyone sunglasses!!! It was HOT HOT HOT LOL. It was naptime for Jake too so we didn't stay for very long...just over an hour. It was fun though and we got to see all sorts of fun flying machines!

Spring Break in Alabama

Well for the last week we have been on Spring Break. It went by way too fast. Josh is officially done here at Benning and we are enjoying a great leave time! Wednesday we went to Dahlonega to see Margaux for Trenton's Birthday. We had a wonderful time and guess what I turn on my camera and sure enough my CF card was in my printer at home!!! So no pics for that LOL.

We came home Thursday just in time for Savannah's first softball game of the year. She did so well! She loves playing ball and is turning out to be quite the little baller!!!

It was then Friday morning and we were off to Montgomery. It was time to go back to Build A Bear for some new Daddy Bears. I will post pics of those tomorrow. Before we did the bears we headed to the Montgomery Zoo. This zoo is a wonderful day trip and we are planning on making it a very well visited place for us LOL. Here are some pictures from our day of fun at the Zoo.

Silly Kiddos!

Yes these are from baseball again but they were being goofballs at this point.

It is amazing to me how much JT and Daddy look alike...Hmmm it could make for a long deployment waking up to a mini-Josh everyday LOL. I mean my gosh...LOOK AT THEIR HAIR AND THE WAY IT LAYS!!!! SERIOUSLY...attitude, looks, sense of humor...good thing I am totally head over heels in love with his dad huh LOL.
