Cuteness Overload

So I have been chomping at the bit to share this video but I wanted to wait until Jason received his new ipod touch I sent him so he would be the first to see it. It cracks me up every time I watch it so it’s how I have been starting my day since we made it.. Prepare yourself, it’s pretty cute!!

Pictures from Afghanistan

We were able to skype with Jason this weekend. It was so nice to see his face and hear his voice at the same time. What a gift. He sends pictures from time to time so I thought I would share them. He’s doing fine, working hard and counting the days until he’s home again. Oh yeah, and he has a full beard and moustache.. So far we have all made it 2 months, 1 week and 2 days being apart. Only 17 more weeks to go!!! When I think of it in weeks it doesn’t seem so long… boredom               bow with the rain

The one above is called “Boredom” I have to wonder what they’re trying to hit…

bunker that we entered this am

Home sweet home for now. Jason says all the tents have AC and electricity. I’m not sure about a fridge.. The structure you see in the middle is a bunker in case there’s trouble…

This one is a sand storm that passed through a few days ago. He also sent pictures of the “facilities” (thanks for sharing) I thought I would keep those to myself…lol.

Puppets

These are the puppets we made on Sunday. Miss Cami and Sophia make them out of paper so I decided to copy them using felt so they would last. Each one has a little song.. There’s Enor the Elephant, Baby Bunny, Annie Apple and Diddo Dog..

Play Time

Sophia finished her chart on Friday. When she finishes it we get to do something of her choice. This time she wanted to go to McDonalds.. Fun fun fun..                                            puppets 008                             puppets 009puppets 019puppets 006puppets 023

Bed Time Conversation

Last night we were reading books sitting in the rocking chair when we finished reading this is how the conversation went..
Sophia: Mom, I love dad.
Me: I know baby, I love dad too.
Sophia: Mom, I want to go where dad is.
Me: I know baby but dad is working far far away.
Sophia: Mom, can we go to the airport and find an airplane to take us to dad?
Me: No baby, I'm sorry we can't go visit dad right now...
Sophia: Mom, I miss my dad....
Me: I know baby, he misses us too..

Ughhhhh. Heartbreak.

Ok, so one more installment...

2011 Halloween–The Final Installment!!

Sophia was the cutest little lady bug you have ever seen last night! The first house we decided to visit was our friend Vicki who lives on the circle. When we arrived we also ran into Desi, her son and daughter in law and her granddaughter Vanna. Vicki offered Sophia and I to borrow her golf cart so we could all go trick or treating together! It was so cool! We were able to hit several houses on our circle and a few more in the neighboring community of Ebb Tide. We hope Vanna will be able to come over and play with Sophia soon. They had a really good time together!!

As we were driving the golf cart back to Vicki's getting ready to go home my little lady bug leaned onto my shoulder and said "you're the best mom in the world, I love you."
Perfect end to a perfectly wonderful evening with my baby...
