Together for Christmas

We are so happy and feel so blessed to be together for Christmas. It's been so fun to start seeing some of the guys come home in time for Christmas. There are still quite a few people we know that will not be together for the Holidays and our hearts go out to them. We support them 100% in serving our country and pray for their safe return. We took these pictures after church today. On a side note as I was looking through the pictures you can really see how happy the kids are to have daddy home. With me, it's just another picture with Mommy. But, with daddy they are just glowing. I love it!

David Merry Christmas Everybody!!!

He's back!

We have had a bitter -sweet reunion with Manny yesterday (Thanksgiving.) He wasn't suppose to come home for about 2 more months, but we found out that his Mother's cancer came back. He came home on Emergency Leave so that he can go visit his Mom and help out where he can. We were really excited to have him home and to be able to pick him up from the airport on Thanksgiving. David also went right to him. I'll write more later, I don't really want to be spending my day blogging! I just wanted to update our friends and family. Happy belated Thanksgiving!!!

Halloween

I am a little behind. We went to Myrtle Beach for Halloween. Even though it was on the chilly side and we never actually went to the beach we had a lot of fun. We went to the Ripley's Aquarium, went swimming at the pool, and shopped at Broadway at the Beach. We went with our family friends, Vinessa and her 2 kids, and Louise and her son.

Jacob was Jack Sparrow

The kids are getting so good at swimming. David even loved splashing around in the water. I loved the hot tub.

Erica is Padme from Star Wars, Sara is Elisabeth Swan, and Emily is Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay)

David is our little monkey boy

All the kids that were there. Jacob is not very happy because he wanted to go trick or treating instead of take pictures.

My friend Vinessa and I. I was a nurse for Halloween.

At the Aquarium

My pictures got all mixed up, sorry they are all out of order. We went trick or treating at a big outdoor shopping mall called Broadway at the Beach.

I loved the sea turtle at the aquarium

David

After the show we got to watch were the divers fed the sting rays we got to touch them. David wanted to get in the water so bad.

ONE MORE WEEK!

Tag

I was tagged. I needed to post my 6th picture in my 6th folder, or something like that. It happened to be a wedding picture. We are so young and skinny! My groom is so SEXY!!! If anybody would like to join in considered yourself tagged.

"In God We Still Trust"

I was sent this in an e-mail and figured it was better to post it on my blog then to forward it by e-mail to everyone. If you want me to forward it to you, just let me know along with your e-mail address (unless I have it.) Diamond Rio sang this song recently in Las Vegas and was received by a standing ovation. I feel like more than ever we need to hold on to our beliefs. A friend of mine posted on her blog recently some reasons why she is proud to be an American. I am so grateful to be an American and to have my husband serving our country. I am also grateful for our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ and they will always be a part of my life no matter how much our government tries to take them out. God Bless America!!!

It's a small world after all

When we were in Utah this summer visiting my sister Rachael, Becki was about 20 minutes away visiting her sister Rachel. We happened to be there the same weekend. It really is a small world after all. We miss you Becki and family!

This is just a misc. picture of David cuddling his bear that he got for his birthday from Rafael and Rocio. It was too cute to pass up.
