Today I spent most of the day on the computer working on my resume, and my application for an AGR position. The baby's have been quite busy beating each other up. Yes it has already started. Dustin has no problem holding his own. He already uses different weapons like plastic golf clubs. Ryleigh comes running into the room letting us know what Dustin hit her with. Then a few minutes later they will be hugging and playing together again. It is just the beginning. They put us back on orders so we get all of our medical benefits back.

Were back,
we had a good couple days. We looked at lots of homes. Only a few of the were worth looking at again. We Got home around 8:30am this morning. We drove through the night. We did not get much time with Ross, but it is more time then we have had in the past twenty years. Dee is going back up on Wednesday and Thursday.Thank you Connie. I hope that everyone had a good Mothers Day. Connie got a small gathering of family together. I learned to play PO-ken-O. A mix between Bingo and Poker. It was fun. Ryleigh and Dustin always have more then enough fun when they visit. I just thought I would put up some pictures that Connie took on Sunday. Just in case her computer decided to be a pain in the neck. I need to go to bed I have to work tonight. I took pictures of pictures so they are a little blurry.

We are looking forward to seeing ross this weekend. Dustin and Ry are both doing very well. Ryleigh is really getting the hang of the computer. All of the games that she has been playing have been educational. So I do not feel bad for letting her play for an hour at a time. Buy the way I will have you all know. I picked the Eight horse to win in the Derby. I guess I should have put some money on him. I took a blow dryer to Ry's hair, Just to see how long it was. I can't believe that when she was two She hardly had a little pony tail. Look at all of that hair.

This morning we all woke up early. We dropped the Volvo off to get detailed. Then went to breakfast. After breakfast we went to Tybe Beach. Ryleigh and Dustin had a good time. Ryleigh and her daddy tried to build a sand castle. Dustin just wanted to play with a stick. We only stayed for an hour or so because the wind started to pick up and Dustin was soaked. So we went back to the car. On the way we stopped to get a Starbucks Vanilla cream. Now we are all tired. So we will see if we can get some shut eye before we have to pick up the car.

Well, we finally did it. We had an itch and we scratched it. I guess in this case I had an itch. Dee gave in to let me get a car. Not just any car. My Volvo. It is a 2000 Volvo S80. We got a really great deal. It only had 57,100 miles on it. It was an early mothers day present. Dee said, that that should take care of the next five mothers days. Year right..... Ryleigh wants to ride in it but has not gotten the chance. She asked me this morning if she was going to go for a ride. What a doll. Anyway I love it I just thought I would spread the good news. I have been up for 27 hours and I have to go back to work in five hours. We had a mandatory meeting this morning. So I will drop a line later.

What a busy day. While Dustin took his nap Ryleigh and I washed the Durango. Then we all when to the Golf Course. Dustin had a huge smile on his face until we tried to put him back in the cart to go to the second hole. What a little terd. He even jumped twice and landed on his butt in this tantrum. So instead of continuing. Dee and Dustin went back home while Ryleigh and I played Nine. Well, Ryleigh just supervised. But she was very good. Sorry no pictures. Then after I got done with the front Dee came back and I took the kids home and he played the front nine. After we picked him up we took the kids to a local park. They were having fun until the sand nats decided to show up. So I think that bed time is coming very quickly for them tonight.

Ryleigh is really doing well on her ABC's and learning to use the computer. Dustin is going through a take off his pamper phase. He uses the toilet every time we put him on it. We are looking to go up to KY. The second week of May. We are going to try and sell the cougar. We might regret it later. No good reason except we would like a more family friendly car. It still looks so good everyone turn there heads when they look at it. It will be hard to let go.

It is finally my day off. Sadly it is being cut short again. Tuesday we have to go qualify on the 240 bravo and the M249. If you don't know what I'm talking about they are really big guns. Both of the babies are sick. So am I I have a very sour throat. And it is getting worse. I don't have time to go to sick call. Maybe if things don't get better I will go Wednesday morning. I took some pictures of the kids a few days ago playing outside and some of them in the tub. They are cute so enjoy.

Dee and the babies played there little hearts out outside. Dee said that Ryleigh and him raced from one end of the fence to the other. Dustin tried to keep up. I, of course went to work. The we have booked our flight out to Nevada. We will be there the 12th - the 18th. I really need to change the days I hit the wrong Button and did not realize the mistake until I confirmed. So I will see what I can do. Well I have to go back to work drop us a line.

We are back home our trip took 16 hours instead of the 14 1/2 that it was supposed to take. Everyone had the same idea. Get back to work before Monday. We had to wait at a lot of toll booths. The kids slept through the night. It made it easy to put some miles behind us. I think that we got a lot of good pictures of the kids while we were up there. Dee went out and played a round of golf yesterday. He got to use his new Driver he loved it. This morning he is off to get new tires put on the Durango. Ryleigh and Dustin have recovered from there road trip. Dustin got a Soccer ball from the Easter Bunny. He has been kicking that around the house. Ryleigh got the Barbie mermaidia. They looked so cute on Sunday. We had to miss church on Sunday I needed to get on the road to make it back home in time to get some sleep. The top picture is the best picture the kids and I took together. Sorry We will try harder next time.

We had a busy day yesterday. Devanie had to mail packages, go to the grocery store, pick up dry cleaning, drop Sierra at pre school, and the we did some Easter shopping. After all of the important stuff was done we went to McDonald to let the kids play. The weather has been pretty nice. We were going to go to the park for lunch. Dee called and said that he was having a good time. He said that it was 95 degrees. Dustin knows how to turn a doorknob know. And yesterday he said Shirt. What a big boy. Ryleigh is having more fun then she can handle. She loves playing with her cousin's.

We made it to my sisters house in CT. It was a long drive, but we split it up by stopping at Fays house to get a little rest. I think I have had a total of eight hours of sleep the past 72 hours. I can't wait to get some good sleep tonight. Harley is holding up well. He loves to travel. Yesterday there was a truck behind us while we were stuck in traffic. The people were taunting him. He was showing his teeth and growling. He is my little watchdog. I don't think he would let me down. Dee is out in Phoenix golfing with his friends. He says that he shot an 88 yesterday. That is really good. He had a really good time. Ryleigh has not stop talking and playing not even to eat. Dustin is still trying to recover from the road trip. We go back on Sunday after we see what the Easter bunny has to bring.

I got the taxes done. We ended up OK. I just hope that I did it right. I followed all the steps. Of course I took the Audit insurance. Ryleigh and Dustin have got the chance to play out side the past couple of days. The weather has been so nice. Dee and I got the babysitter to come over and watch the babies again. We went and saw Larry the cable guy health inspector. It was Very funny in the beginning. Then it started to get boring. Dee fell asleep. I thought it was pretty good though.

This morning Dee went out to the gold course, and I took the kids to wash the car and go to McDonalds. They needed to get out. Last night Ryleigh finally wanted to wear her dress that Niki and Ross got for her. She looked so cute I took a few pictures. Well I have to go to work.

Last night Dee and I decided to use our new babysitter again. We went and saw Inside Man. It was a good movie. The kids are spending a lot of time lately playing with each other. They take the Tonka trucks and push them around the kitchen and the living room. I think it is great. The harder they play the longer they sleep. Tomorrow is Guard Drill. They are making us stay the night again. They say it helps build the sense of family they feel that we need. Yea.... Dee went and played a round of golf. He said, that he saw the Golf courses seasonal Gator. He took a picture of it on his phone and sent it to me. He was so far away (smart) that you could not tell unless he told you what the little green blob was.

It has been over a week since my last blog. I we had a long week. We went to Louisville KY. The babies had a lot of fun. Dee and I got a chance to go out and golf together. That was the first time since Hawaii. I think that we have come to a major decision that we are going to movie to KY. It is the truth, We are moving again. we just feel that there is not much to really keep us here. Family is the most important thing and we really want to give the kids a chance to enjoy that. Plus the job prospects down here a slim to none. Dee is still nonstop hunting with no success. We don't know when we will go we are not in any hurry. The conditions need to be right all the way around. We are not looking forward to winter. No more palm trees for us. Look out pine trees here we come.

Today Dee and I have been married for five, almost always happy years of marriage. And and eternity to go. I have the pleasure of going to work today so. Dee got a babysitter and went and played a round of golf while I slept. So we need to get together and go out on my next day off. The babies are all doing well. Ryleigh never got the Flu. Dustin is still a little crabby but he is 90% better then what he was. Harley is doing good. I think that he still looks for peanut. We got peanuts remains back this week. Now we need a good place to put him. So now I need to get back to work. Keep us in your prayers. He really is happier then he looks. He does not like to take pictures .

Poor Dustin down for the count. He has his first Flu. Ryleigh has never had the flu, But I see one in her near future. Dustin has not been himself. He tried so hard to get up and dance to the backyardagains. I don't think that he even made it through the first ten minutes without going to sleep. Ryleigh has been keeping herself entertained. She keeps telling me that she is sick and that I need to take her temperature. So we pretend. So what kind of pointers do all of you veterans of the flu have. Dee went out and played a round of golf yesterday. After he got back Ry and I went to the local Wal-Mart and got some new cloths and some stuff for dinner.

We took Ryleigh and Dustin to the bowling alley on Saturday. Ryleigh would not have anything to do with it. Dustin was so excited about it that he kept picking up the six pound ball by himself. Then about five frames into it Dustin was tired of the whole thing. So we went to the store an bought Lady and the Tramp. Today Dee and I got a babysitter. We took a Harley Davidson road trip to Savannah and had dinner. It was a nice evening. The baby's had smiles on there faces when we got home. That is always a good sign. Dustin likes wearing Dee's helmet. I think he was pretending to ride a motorcycle. The weather has been beautiful so today I will take the kids outside. Maybe I can get some good snap shots .

I worked my first night shift last night. I always feel like I hit a wall at three o'clock. Dee has a long over due Dr. Appointment. It took our insurance company at least two week to decide weather or not he was tri care standard or prime. His Dr. In Tucson could not fill his prescription because we moved out of state. So Dee had to milk his last three pills. I can't wait until he feels better again. The babies are both doing very good. Dustin helped clean up his blocks . He is getting to big to quick. It is freaky that he already understands what we tell him. After he helped pick up his block he decided that he should sit in the bucket. It was so cute I had to take a picture. Last night Ryleigh read me a book and sang me a song over the phone before she went to bed. Because I was not home to read her one.
