It is good to have the baby's back home. After just a week they look like they have grown. From what I have heard They had a really good with granny and granddaddy. Dustin kept everyone on there toes. While they were gone I went on the casino boat. What a ride. I spent most of the top deck laying down or I was hanging over the rail. I will never do it again. I also played the best nine holes of my life.And of course I got a chance to get a little shopping done. Last night Dee regripped his clubs and he was off to the golf course bright and early. Does everyone have there Christmas shopping done? I have a lot of work to do until I can say I'm done.

Sorry I have not posted anything for a couple days. Dee and the baby's are getting ready to go. I'm not going I have to stay and work. Now that the baby's are getting over their colds. Dee and I are getting them. It has been raining for the past couple days so the baby's have not been getting to play outside. They will have lots of time to play when they go up to see the family. We hope that everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving. I think that we all have a lot to be thankfull for this year.

Well, is been a long couple days. On Sunday I got to go out and play a round. It was scary because I have never played without Dee. Yesterday I went back to work. Dee took the baby's to Mc Donalds to play in the play place. he said that they played there little hearts out. I came home and went to bed. I love my bed I sure could use a better quality sheet. I need that soft stuff. I would never get out of bed.

Yesterday I watched a little boy for a lady that I met a McDonalds. Her husband is in Iraq. And has no family close.She has the worst luck. She has been to the hospital over six times in the last two months. One for her and the others for her baby's. I told her to bring her son over so she could get some sleep. Joey her son was just diagnosed with child hood insominia. She has not got much sleep. So Ryleigh and dustin played and played. Dee played golf all day yesterday. When he got home he was worn out. So we put the kids to bed. And I went for a run. This morning I took both baby's to the store with me. Dustin was so sleepy that he was trying to find a place to lay his head in the shopping cart. Poor baby. So insted of going to the park we came home and put dustin to bed. Dee stayed home to get some school work done. Now he is at the golf course. Ryleigh and I might go for a walk later.

I don't really have much to say. Except here are more picture's of the family. The top one is Ry & Dustin at the ocean for the first time.This is a picture of Aunt Kat Kat. She is the last living child of the man that dustin is named after. Dustin was named after her Father. There is a lot of history. I bet she has some stories.

The baby's and I went to Wal-Mart. To pick up the new pictures. Dee went to the golf course to play a round. The baby's and daddy go at it again, when I go back to work in the morning. Dustin is still sick. Here are some of dustin and ryleigh on the golf course with dad. Ryleigh is tending the pin.

Well, it is my second day back at work. I'm not working as hard as Dee. I just have to sit in a car and drive around base all day long. Not to hard. Dee has to juggle his school work and the baby's. I'm the big 26 after yesterday and I don't feel any different. Dustin and Raleigh are still sick. So they are getting a little stir crazy. They want to get out and play. That is not going to happen. So the T.V. and some books have been their release,and that gets old. I turned in three rolls of film so New pictures are in the near future.

Wee carved the pumkin. Dustin was really involved. Ryleigh did not want to get her hands dirty. Dustin didn't even make it out the door. It was 6:00pm and he was so grumpy. He would take a few steps and then lay on the floor. So Ry and I when on base to go trick-or-treat. She was grumpy too. We went to four houses andRy said, that she wanted to go home. I asked if she was sure. she said yes so we went home. So after the bath and a couple movies it was time to go to bed. Ryleigh woke up with a stomach ache and a fever. That explained why she wanted to go home. She did not feel good. Dustin is also not feeling well this morning. MY baby's were never sick in AZ. Now the have been sick twice in the last three months. There is something in the air out here. Congrats to my sister Devanie. She just had a baby boy. His name is Zachary William Stout. He is so cute. if you want to see him go to http://www.devanie.com.

After we got home from church we ate some food. Then I started to make Ryleighs Halloween custome. I made it so fast that I decided to make Dustin one also. I think they turned out so quite. So I put both of them in the customs and took pictures. They might not be as excited tomorrow. Of course I have to wait until I develop them for you to get the pictures.

Today the day started out with Dustin chocking on a piece of sausage. That was so scary. I Had to give him the hymlick(spelling) I stood him up and pushed on his chest once and it popped out. Thank the lord that I went to child CPR classes. I spent the first part of the day scrubbing my kitchen. After mopping the floor a couple weeks in a row it never looked good. So I decided to get on my hands a knees. I thought that the brown spots were part of the color of the floor. I was wrong. It was six years of renters embedded into the floor. Now the floor looks so good I don't think it needs to be replaced. My arm has been is spasms for the last couple of hours. After I finished the floor we took Raleigh and Dustin to the running track on base and Raleigh ran and walked a mile. She did not want to stop. She wants to be a ghost for Halloween. So Ry and I went and bought some stuff to make the costume. She seems to be really excited. I don't think that she will be as happy when she has to go up to the door and Say trick or treat. But we will find out.

Dustin walked all the way to the park, with Ryleigh and I. It was so cute every time he heard music, as the cars passed by. He would move his head. He has mad skills when it comes to rythem. The weather was really cold this week. So yesterday was the first day that the baby's got to go out and play. The other days they went to McDonalds play place. So they were happy to get out, and get dirty.

I have gone jogging eight days in a row. And I have lost five pounds. I took Ryleigh out to play. After about an hour she told me she wanted to go home. That is not like her. So of course I am happy to go. So on the way home she said, They(the other kids) said she could not play, and that she bumped her head. Ryleigh said, they were not my friends. Sooo sad:( Not a good way to end play time. So she came home and played with her brother. We are trying to decide what the baby's are going to be for Holloween. This will be Ryleighs first year going.

We started the day out around 10:ooam. I took the baby's to the Mcdonalds play place. Ryleigh met a little girl there. They played and played. I talked to he mom Donna I think that we hit it off. I may have found my first friend. Dustin just ran from one side of the play place to the other. He is not big enough to climb up. He had fun anyway. By the time I got home. (only a five minute drive.) They were both asleep. Today was dee's first day of school. So he had a little time to get homework done.

Thursday I enlisted for another year, We will see how this year goes. After I enlisted we took the kids to the Ocean. Ryleigh loved it Dustin had a hard time keeping his balance. As the wave receded he thought that he was moving so he lost his balance. He got wet and was apprehensive about the water the rest of the time. Today I went to Guard drill. There are only two girls in the unit. I'm the second one. The said, that they have a couple people deployed, But the voluntarily went. So if everything works out I won't have to go anywhere. After I got home dee went out to play a round.
The picture was just cute so I had to put it in. Peanut the inside horse.

You should have seen how cute my little boy was at the golf course today. He seemed very interested in the putter. I got some good pictures of Ryleigh and Dustin trying to figure it out. We just got the title of the Harley in the mail today so we went and got it registered. Now it is legal again. So Dee took it for a ride and enjoyed every minute of it. As soon as I get the pictures burned to a picture CD I will post them.

I got another call from the Air force today. Because I only have four months of my enlistment, in order for them to be able to accept me. I have to enlist for a minimum of a year. If I don't my condition release expires on the 31st of Oct. Then the state of AZ. will have to discharge me. I'm not sure if it would be an honorable one. I'm don't know what to do. Will I get lucky for one more year and not be sent over seas? I love my job in the military, but not as much as I love my baby's. However I always saw myself retiring from the Air force at the age of 40. I'm almost halfway to retirement. I don't have much to report on the family side. We do the same thing everyday.

Today I mowed the lawn. That is one thing about Tucson I will miss. We did not have a lawn. But we did have a lawn mower. Now we have a front and backyard full of grass. I don't mind doing it. I like to do the outside work. After I finished I took a nap. Dustin was up at 4:00am. After watching the College football games we went to the grocery store and did some shopping as a family. We did not save any money. I don't know how to save the way that Devanie does.

Today was I got to sleep in. Dee let me sleep untill 11:30. We did not go to bed untill after 3:ooam. What a good guy. After I woke up Dee and I put Ryleigh's new bed together. It is so big that she needs a step stool to climb onto it. Both of the baby's are doing better with their colds. Dustin was finally able to sleep for more then one hour. I also have a picture of the baby's that is only a couple of weeks old. So I thought I would make an entry.

I got a call back from my recrueter here in georgia. He said it looks like he will have no problem gettin me in over here. That means that my search for a job is over. Today Ryleigh went to the golf course with her dad for the first time. He said, that she just shagged balls for him. He just chipped and putted. Dustin stayed home with me. He has a runny nose. I brought the cold back from Hawaii for him and Ry. This is Dustins first cold. He is a grump.

Today the man of the house returns.
I think I have a job until the end of December. That is perfect, because Dee finishes his degree that month. Today is supposed to start the diet for the man of the house and I. We have a lot to live healthy for. Plus now we have no reason not to go to the gym. We live to close to the gym on base, and one of the benefits of being military is the free access to the gym. So here is a picture that is hopefully our last fat picture.
