My Gingerbread House

The first picture is of Tanner telling Santa what he wants for Christmas. Then the fun we had making a gingerbread house. Tanner loves doing this. Last year was the first time we did it and I said that it would be a tradition. So this year we did it again and Steve got to help us and it was nice to be able to do this as a family. We are so Thankful that Steve is home with us this year for Christmas. Merry Christmas to All.

Halloween!!!

Our little man was a Red Power Ranger for Halloween. He wasn't very excited about it this year. We had a Trunk a Treating and fun night at our church. He had fun but was ready to go in no time. The night of Halloween we talked him into dressing just to go to a few places. He did not want pictures taking of him either so I just posted the one that he did take. I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving. We will be enjoying the fact that Steve will be here with us this year, which we are very thankful for. Take care.

Mountains

We took a trip to the mountains and had a lot of fun. This is the first time that Tanner has been since he was 5 months old, he really enjoyed it. We went on a train ride to the It's a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown Pumpkin Patch. Tanner got to see Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Lucy. There were games, a maze, trick or treating, tattoos, roasting marshmellows, a hayride and then you got to pick out your pumpkin. We went to Gatlinburg and Tanner and Steve rode the skylift up the mountain. He loved it. Tanner really enjoyed the small hike we took on a trail he wanted to keep going and wants to know when he can go hiking. He is so much like his Daddy wanting to be walking in the woods.

First Day of Kindergarten

He did it and did not cry. We are so proud of him. After the trouble that we went through with pre-school we coould not believe that he went right on with out a second thought. He grew up too fast it is hard to believe that he is in kindergarten. He has a great teacher and seems to have done very well his first day. I am going to be the room Mom for his class. I am so excited that I will be able to be a part of his school year. I just started to work with his pre-school that he was at . I will be working in the three year old program and I am very excited.

Summer Fun!!

This summer has been pretty busy for us. Steve came home and was off of work for two months so we kept busy. We went on vacation to Myrtle Beach for a week and had a blast. We took Tanner to play putt-putt which he loves doing. We went to Nascar Speedpark where Tanner enjoyed riding go karts with his dad and then for the firsts time did it all alone and loved it. Then he wanted to bungee jump. He did not want to get off when it was over. I was pretty nervous with him going so high up, but he did not mind at all. We stayed at one hotel for part of the week and they had an indoor water park which Tanner loved then we met up with some friends of ours and stayed at a different hotel. They took us down to Pawley's Island which was very nice and secluded. The kids had so much fun there. Then it was back home where we had stuff to do around the house. Then Steve and I had a brief trip to the Beach for a Marriage Enrichment seminar put on through the military. We had a nice time and I got to meet some of the people that he had been with for the past year. We also attempted camping twice and both times it rained. Maybe we can do it and we will have better luck with the weather. Now that Steve is back to work it is different around here not having him all to ourselves. I am now getting ready to to send our little man off to Kindergarten in a few weeks which makes me a little sad. I will miss having him around all day. Now I will have to find something to keep me busy.

Pre-school Graduation

Yes our Little Man has graduated from preschool and we cannot believe it. It feels like yesterday that he was our little baby. We are so proud of him. The theme for the graduation was patriotic because of Steve. The staff at Wee Care was so supportive of him. The program was wonderful. All of the little kids had signed a shirt and it was presented to Steve at graduation. All of the little kids were so cute, they sang songs and had verses that they had to say. Then at the end our little man along with the other little ones received his preschool diploma.

Steve's Home

Steve is home and Tanner and I could not be any happier. We missed him so much. We could not touch him when we first saw him and that was hard but when we could we ran right to him. Tanner was so happy that he was back. He cannot stop saying that he is glad that his Daddy is home. \

Update On Steve

Steve is back in the good ol' USA. Tanner and I are so excited that he is closer to us. We cannot wait for him to be home. We have just a few weeks and he will be with us. It is so nice to be able to talk to him without a delay in our conversation. Tanner was a little confused when I told him Daddy was in the US but finally he understands. He said he could not wait to hug him and that he was not letting go until he knew he was here to stay. I will update soon with pictures of him coming home.

We Are Getting Excited!!!

Hello everyone just wanted to let you know that I talked to Steve and he is doing good, but ready to come home. He has been told that he should get to come home in April. We don't know exactly when but should be by the end of the month. Tanner is so happy that his Daddy will be coming home. He ask for him daily. Steve will get to be off from work for about three months before he goes back to BWX which is very exciting for us that we will get to spend that time with him. This time apart has made us realize how grateful we are for each other and that you should cherish each moment you have together. When Steve comes home things will be different for all of us. Tanner has changed and grown alot since his Daddy has been gone. Please keep us in your prayers and hopefully the time will past quickly for us. We can't wait to be able to hug him and keep him close to us.
