Hi guys.

So I know I haven't updated in a while. but my new years resolution is to do a better job with my blogs.... I am doing a lot of crafts lately and I am excited about my year of crafting this year so check often...
anyway here are some new pictures of the kiddos..

Here is a pictuer of trevor with his dragonfly that he made for the 100th day of school It has100 eyes...

Heres ally in her princess costume. she loves dressing up and does it daily... along with the little boys I watch. I wont be watching them anymore after 3-9-09 though. so I am looking forward to some alone time with allison. I think she will enjoy the break too b/c she is tired of sharing her toys everyday.. :)

Here is ally playing with my buttons. she loves my buttons.and as you can see she also makes a huge mess in the process. she also has her own fabric stash. the ladies at the fabric store give her little scraps when we come in for her own stash..

but anyway things are going good in Chas. sc. matt is testing for tech sgt on the 16th or around there. Trevor is doing good in school. He is really good in math. but we are still having a bit of an issue with sloppyness and writing letters backwards and not paying attention to sounds that a letter makes when reviewing his spelling words. I think it just comes down to laziness.
Allison is doing good. she has been getting this rash on her hands and feet and bottom. its kinda scaley and itches a little bit but when it dries out it makes her peel terribly. It looks like she has a disease when shes peeling. I made her an appt with the dr next week. for her 4 yr check up so hopefully theyll be able to tell me something then. at least its not as bad as when she was an infant with that rash on her chest. that was horrible. and trevor needs his ears checked out as well b/c we've been having to repeat ourselves quite often and last time this happened he had an ear infection. he wasnt in any pain at least but it took forever to get rid of it. we even had to see a hearing specialist who said his hearing was fine it was just an infection..
as far as I go. Im good. hoping to go back to school in the fall for ultrasound tech. but there are no programs around here for that, that I have found. Im still looking into it though...
anyway. thanks for stopping in...

its been a while but here lately............

Trev playing his wii. he loves to play tennis on it...

Moth Day

We found a caterpillar at my sisters house one day so we brought it home to see what kind of moth it would become. it turned out to be a luna moth i beleive... the first picture shows it right after it came out of its cocoon and the second shows its almost fully dried wings expanded. the kids werent as amazed as i was or as much as i thought. but it was really neat.

ally running around the tree waiting for the moth
trev batting at leaves with a stick.

we went to an air show on base and the kids wanted to pose in front of the tanks so here they are doing so
here is matt and the two dogs sleeping on the dogs chair... its the only chair we let the dogs on. bella is on the right side of the chair in case you missed her. she blends well...

my cowboy

Trevor's last day of school was cowboy day and this was what he wore. he loves to pose and i laugh so hard while taking his pictures. there are more of this in sequence but most are blurry b/c he is constantly moving...

This picture he was mad b/c i wanted to get one with out the toy gun... can you tell he was upset..
here is bella a few months ago in cat bunk. its for allys babydolls but she thought it belonged to her.

c-17 cockpit pictures

these were taking on a c-17 at a picture opportunity that they were offering on base once a year. it was our first time. i thought the kids would like seeing the plane daddy works on. trevor really like being able to play with the controls and all. Matt was in the desert for the pictures but maybe in december this year we will be able to do a family portrait...
