We're Still Here!

Because it would be nearly impossible to catch you up on the last 6 months in words, I have decided to do it in pictures.  The kids are growing like weeds and continue to test my 'mom skills' every day.  I have started a new hobby, which explains why I have been slacking on the family blog.  But, I hope to make more contributions to the blog, if even in small doses.  Here are some of my favorite moments from the last 6 months!

 Randy leaving for a deployment

 Kayla and Jarod visiting

 Joanna's first fish: Dorothy

We spent a month in AZ while Randy was gone 

 Sean admiring the gold carts passing by

 Sean and Wyatt just getting steady enough on their feet to run

 A day trip to see Thomas the Train

Sean loves to wear hats! 

The very moment I knew I was in trouble... 

And the trouble continued...

Trying to kill time before Randy came home from his deployment 

He's here!!  She was soooo excited! 

 We're so happy to have Daddy home

But, I think she was the happiest of us all :)

The princess dress made the slide even faster 

They're getting the hang of it! 

Sean, the bucket head 

He just thought this was the greatest thing!
