Just the Boys this week

Well, this week it is just the boys. We took mommy to the airport this morning about 9 so she could go to Arizona for a class she needs for work. After dropping her off, we went to the park for a little, then came home and played outside. We had some lunch and he just went down for a nap.

Yesterday, we went to the safari park. It is a drive through park where you can feed the animals-it was neat-I loved it. We got to feed deer, buffalo and camels just to name a few!

My eyes are doing great-I have 20/15 vision and loving it!

Mom and Dad arranged the kids visit for the summer! Can't wait. Thank you very much! They will be here Jun 22 to Jul 28-looking forward to lots of fun!

Last week was spring clean up week here at the post-the one week where everything will be perfect-lawns cut, no trash-but then the rest of the year-just as normal-oh well.

Last week was also a bunch of change of commands from Division to Brigade to Battalion-lots of changes coming.

Well, I have to do some homework. Talk to you later.

Easter...

Thanks to M for being the best husband in the world!
We have had a great weekend - planted some roses and other flowers out back yesterday. Also started a little garden with blueberries and watermelon. Then, we spent the afternoon at the lake - took burgers out there and grilled. It was beautiful, about 80 degrees. This morning Bar woke up at 430 - I got up with him until 730, we just watched cartoons and cleaned the house. He went back to sleep for a while, and I went back to bed until 10. I woke up to a nice little easter basket. I got some candy, a bunny, and some jewelry - it was really sweet. M and Bar opened their Easter baskets, then M hid eggs for Bar to find. He found all of them! I am proud of him. Everything else is same stuff. We finally rented the house out! No more having to pay mortgage on one house AND rent on another. Yah! We are planning another cruise vacation in the fall - taking little man along this time. I'm pretty excited about it. I will desperately need the vacation. In one week I will be leaving for TDY, then coming back to teach, then TDY a couple of weeks later, the kids are coming in June for the summer, I'm going TDY in late June, and possibly going TDY again in July. It's going to be a busy summer. One of M's friends just moved here, and I'm really glad. Although I am antisocial by nature, M is not - he is social and friendly. It's great that he has someone to hang out with on a Sat evening when I am sleeping or doing homework. :)

Happy April Fools day!
Well I just had my Lasik surgery this morning and it is awesome! It took about 10 minutes to do and I can already tell the difference. And I get to wear sunglasses for the next 30 days! Have to put a ton of eyedrops in over the next couple of months-but it is worth it! Yeah. Thanks Linds for dropping me off and picking me up-appreciate it!
My back was really hurting again this week-combination of arthritis and spasm-tried to do everything-stretching, heat pad, hot tub and had to finally break down and go to sickcall-got some medicine. It is feeling a little bit better.
Have a 4 day weekend this weekend for Easter-we are trying to get out to do something.
Last night I went to the Battalion Commander's farewell. It was pretty awesome-we had a pig roast and had a good time-will miss him.
Linds took barrett to go see the Easter Bunny last night at Wazoo's-but apparently he didn't want to have anything to do with him :)
Spent this past weekend just cleaning up and trying to organize-we made a lot of progress. We even planted a nice little flower garden outside.
Linds is in week 5 of her school-pursuing her masters now! Awesome-3 more weeks to go. I just entered the second week of my class-organization negotiations. Making progress and can't wait to get that degree this year!
Betsy is paid off that is awesome! Really want to thank Linds on how financial savy she is-love it!
Well, that is all for now. Until next time......
