Happy Thanksgiving.

We went to North Carolina for Thanksgiving and had a good time.We did all kinds of things like cook, eat,visit,swim,relax and just had a good time. I hope everyone else had a good Thanksgiving.

Man what a view. This is what you see off of their dock.

Chris and Leia

Jean and the girls were having a lot of fun making cookies for Chris. We made 3 different kinds. Leia working on a Christmas present for me.

I loved going out on their dock. The boys did too.

Chevy waiting patiently for the big day.

D waiting under the table making his spot known where he will be when we eat. He wants to make sure he will have the best seat for a dog in the house. He knows where the kids sit and kindly drop him lots of scrapes of food.

Chevy saying don't ask me about my day.

See the very loving look that she is giving me.

We are having 2 Thanksgivings. One here on Wednessday with my friends.One on Thursday at Chris and Jeans I wish I could come home and see everyone.

I know that I've not been posting or calling a lot lately. Sorry. I've been busy with Leia's school,day care kids, and gasp going to the gym and working out. I'm finally getting back on track. I know what I posted several months ago and obviously it didn't happen(loosing weight) instead I gained. so I have a nutritionist on my side and she calls me every week to check in on my progress. In the last 2 weeks I've lost 7 pounds. Yeah ME.
Not much is happening around here other then that. We kind of lead boring lives. It's like gosh nobody wants to hear the mundane things that I do around here. We stay on base most of the time and I've blogged everything already that we repeatedly do. That can get boring.I did meet someone new at the gym who is possible going to be chosen for the biggest looser. She's gotten a call from them. She's already lost 50 pounds and has another 100 to go. So she was inspiring.I'm heading out to the gym momentarily and then going to church. After that Leia has a play date with her friend Hannah. SO that pretty much sums up my day for now. Love to you all.

Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween!!! Leia was tired of being a peacock for 3 days in a row so on Halloween night she wanted to dress up as a Pirate with Micky Mouse glow stick ears.

We painted pumpkins this year. I didn't feel like disemboweling a pumpkin this year. Too much work.I think Leia had more fun with this anyway. This is Trunker Treat. It was a blast seeing how everyone decorated their cars and fun to see how they dressed up.

This is one of the girls from our Church. She's pregnant. Her costume is a deviled egg. I thought it was so cute and funny.

We were at the Boo Festival here at Shaw. It was O.K. They had a bouncy house and a few crafts. But the lines where so long. Leia only got to bounce in the bouncy house and we ate hot dogs. We also did Trunker Treat.Which I have never seen before. It's where people decorate up their cars and hand out candy. That was my favorite part of the Boo festival.

This is at the Library. Their craft was to make spider hats. These are the boys I watch. You can tell Leia is not amused.

Leia made this cake about 95% by herself. I was so proud of her. She's growing up so fast.

I told her if she did her work I'd let her make a cake. I don't think I've seen her work so fast.
