Soccer Tots

Waiting for Soccer to start.

Reese started soccer tots today, she absolutely loved it. She thinks she is like her Aunt MaeMae, (Kimberly Wiggins.) It was a lot of fun to see what they would do, so far it was a lot of stretching running, chasing after hoola hoops, throwing soccer balls in the the rolling hoola hoops, setting up cones, kicking over the cones and then picking the cones back up. Every now and then Reese and her THREE and half year old self would get distracted and start running around holding hands with another little girl in her class. Reese is definatly a teachers pet, maybe not always a good thing, she would sometimes just do one task and then hang out with the coach... not going back and completing the task again. She is just almost 4.... and she had a blast and that is why we signed her up, to have fun and to expose her to something new. There are some really great pictures hope you enjoy.

SWIMMING at the "Son's" House

Taking a break to munch on a firecracker popsicle.

Reese got back in, while we all layed out in the sun.

She loved having the whole pool to herself.

Paige showing us her blue hands.

The weather warmed up to 80 this weekend and we got to take our first dip in our family friends ,"The Son's", wonderfullly heated pool. You will probably see more pictures of the girls swimming in the pool, since Kristi issued me a Tinkerbell, and Pooh Bear key to get in any time the girls and I want too. Their house is a very short walk down the street around the corner. We had a great time playing around and it was such a great weekend. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

The way we communicate.....

As you all know, being in the Marines the only way for the girls to stay in touch with the family is by phone.... The girls love this basket that sits by the desk with blankets in it... they would rather sit here on the corded phone than walk around and use the cordless and sit anywhere.

Thursday Afternoon...

So yesterday we had the Spouses Oreintation at TBS, and it went well I suppose. A lot the information was geared to the new spouses to the Marine Corps, so it wasn't really helpful. I did learn a few new things and I had fun meeting some of the new wives. A lot of the wives seem to be spouses of prior Marines so we all hit it off very well. The best part of the day had to be the fact that Craig got off at 12:30 and was able to take the girls home. When I was done at 2:30 we were able to spend a beautiful day together. Spring has finally arrived. We grilled out and hung out on the deck for almost the whole afternoon and evening. I just thought I would share some adorable pictures. Hope you enjoy. Love and miss you all.

Playdate and Luncheon

Reese, Paige and I played hostesses for a playgroup and luncheon today at the house for a four other wives (and their five little girls), whose husbands are in Charlie Co. at TBS with Craig. We thought it would be good to get to know these ladies, the kids enjoyed making paper flower and we all enjoyed lunch. It was a lot of fun and everyone seemed to have a blast. I am postinng a few pictures of Paige and Reese doing the craft and of the older girls playing dress up. Miss you all!
