Some random shots.

Here are some random pictures from the last little while.

Mike sent a package from Afghanistan the other day and inside was a dead animal or many dead chinchillas that were made into a blanket. The kids thought it was really soft and fun to lay on but said it was stinky. I am not sure how I will decorate with this.


Shelby standing so proudly and is now officially walking!


Some lovely tulips that Mike had sent to us in time for Shelby's birthday!


Shelby was walking and hugged Andrew so sweet I tried to catch but this was the back end of the hug.


This is what my bed looks like in the morning and I have been kicked out!


If you have ever put Andrew to sleep you will understand 'arm' and is sharing his arm with one of Sydneys bitty twins named 'Chaddy'.

Andrew turns 4 and Disneyland

So we went to disneyland before Christmas and then I guess I put my camera away because the next pictures were Andrews birthday at Chuck E Cheese. We did have Christmas but I was using the video camera and forgot the camera. Anyway the funnel cake bite was for my Mikey who loves it and so I dedicated that bite to him!!! Andrew had a birthday party in California with cousins at Chuck E Cheese and it was awesome. I would recommend this place for a birthday super easy and affordable. Then we came home on Andrews real birthday and had a party with Grandpa Dave and Grandma Julie. I am so excited that it is finally Jan 2 and the traveling is done and we can get back into a routine and start the down slope of Mikes deployment. We are more than half way hooray!!!! Anyway enjoy the pictures! We love you MIKE!

p.s. While in California we got to go the Warriors vs Celtics game. My dad JP Dustin and I(and Shelby) sat in a luxury box. Chad and my Mom sat down a little closer. If you look to the left of me on about row 3 you can see a green hat and then to the left of the green hat you can see my moms red hair, that is where they sat lucky ducks!!!!

Sydney turns 6 and other things!

So here are some pictures of Sydney turning 6! She had a great birthday at school and then we went to see Princess and the Frog! Then we had a great Princess and the Frog birthday! My cupcakes were awesome! Notice that the green frogs were sitting in the blue water!!! Then we have had a bit of snow and the kids had a great time playing for about 10 minutes! Then there are some cute Shelby shots she is getting so big!!!

Thinking about Daddy!

This is purely for Mike because the kids miss him so much and he misses them. They were so excited to talk on the camera and watch it back! I will try and do this more often for you Mike especially and Shelby starts walking!!! Also there are just some silly pics of Shelby and me. I just thought Mike might want to see what I look like. I have changed so much in 2 months!!!

p.s. please don't anybody turn me into Wal-Mart or child services for Shelby's racy photos!
