Life is Good Again!!!

The past month has been a whirlwind. At the beginning of the month I had my eye surgery..the one thing that I was excited about was the fact that I had at least one newborn vampire eye (yes, we all know I am obsessed with Twilight)! A couple of days after the surgery our best friends from California came to visit us for the weekend! We met them in La Conner for breakfast..needless to say the weather was not cooperating for our sunny California family!

Sunday night, Auntie Amy and I took the boyz to the drive in to see the Tale of Despereaux. This is their "I AM SO EXCITED" faces!

How could you not be excited when you know that there is a whole concession stand of heavenly food just calling your name!


The boyz decided on Twizzlers (giving our hometown of Hershey a shout out) and lemonade!

Amy and I decided on popcorn and Dr. Pepper - our own personal piece of heaven!

The fun continued on... Nana took the kids to the jump house here in town for four hours one afternoon. When I arrived the kids faces were beat red, heads sweating, and I think Nana had already taken two Tylenol! We then introduced my parents to Jungle Playland!! Way to go Nana for going down the black slide (I refuse to go down that one)!

What better way to end the day then milkshakes and dinner at Red Robin! I think the milkshakes were more their dinner than anything!

And then.....my man came home!!!! One month down....two more work ups to go! We all headed to the squadron to watch him fly in! Connor was hoping that the jumphouse and food would be in the hanger (can you tell that he has attended to many deployment homecomings???)!! All the boyz could talk about was how they were going to run up to Daddy when he got out of the jet! When he did it was straight out of Top Gun - well if they would have used Prowlers.

The boyz just stood there and watched - their loss I thought as I ran up to him myself!

Our family is back together again and complete...LIFE IS GOOD AGAIN!!
