Sydney's First Ballet Recital

Sydney had her first ballet recital this past Wednesday!!! She had so much fun!!!! I can't believe my baby girl is getting so big!!!! Here are some pics from it, enjoy!

Aiden in his bouncy thing

My mom-in-law bought Aiden one of those Johnny Jump Up things and sent it to us. Joe went ahead and hooked it up and he LOVES it!!!!!
Looks like the kids and I will be moving home the first week of February!!!! Joe will go on a small deployment and then come back and go into training for his recruting job in Houston. His training school is in San Diego and he will be there from 3/4-4/24. He will probably fly home a couple of weekends to see me and the kids. It will be hard to be without him but...we will be HOME!!!! WITH FAMILY!!! YEA!!!! And then after Joe is done, we will all be in Houston together!!!! YEA!!! We are also planning on buying a house!!! Which is also super exciting!! The only thing the kids are asking me now is," Mom, when are we moving to Houston? Can we go on Saturday?" Forget Santa, all they want to do is go back to Texas!!! Not too much longer!!!!

Best Xmas present ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this morning I had to take my lil princess to the dr because she started running a fever last night and I wanted to make sure it wasn't anything serious. Luckily, its just a bad head cold, now Aiden has it. I get home and Joe tells me to call my mom because she had called an hour prior and was crying! So I called her and asked her what was going on to which she replied," Didn't Joe tell you??" "No...." I look at Joe and my mom says,"Court he got recruiting!" OMG!!! I started crying!!! I couldn't believe it!! I ran to Joe and gave him a big hug!!! We have been waiting on this and I have been sitting on pins and needles! I feel god has answered our prayers for all of us to be together again. I want my kids to grow up around my mom and Mike and my in-laws. My mom and I are so close and the past few years have been so rough being so far apart. I can't tell you how many times her and I have cried on the phone together! Right now, Joe is just waiting on the details (dates, specific sub-station in Houston) etc. So it looks like we are Texas bound!!! YEA!!!!

Mama and her lil punkin!!!

I took this picture myself and Aiden was actually looking right at the camera and smiling. When I saw it I thought it was the cutest pic!!! My lil punkin!! I can't believe he is already 4 1/2 months!
